What customers say

Great for families with lots to do for kids and a friendly vibe. Clean facilities, helpful staff, and good food at the bar/restaurant. Some facilities could use updating and activities can be pricey, but most love it and would return.

Liked Hey Marwell, well what can I say, absolutely excellent stay, everyone is so friendly, welcoming and very approachable, me and my family had an amazing weekend. Perfect balance of checking everything is going well without being overpowering. I will definitely be visiting again next year (probably several times).

Chris B.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Location was great. Campsite was very clean. Bar good, Golf fun but too long for us (group of 9) Shower facilities cleaned 3 time a day. Wife enjoyed clay pigeon shooting. Allowing fire pits is great especially when you have got children with you and they can roast marshmallows :)

Disliked We all felt that the end of season is far too early. A lot of other campers we spoke to were looking forward to taking part in a few activities but told the season had finished. Even the shop was closed! Maybe extend the season by 4 weeks (you'll make a bit more money;)
Dislike the no drone policy. Even though i understand why, i do it for photography reasons and fly away from the site.

Great site, especially for families with all the activities available.

Liked Excellent communication and customer service, particularly Emma who couldn’t have been more helpful. Lovely flat pitches, pitches were well spaced apart. The toilets were clean and well stocked with hand soap/loo roll and the showers had hooks, step and wooden foot boards. The washing up facilities were well lit but no plugs so bring a washing up bowl. Pleased to see good recycling and waste facilities.

Nice campsite could do with a few improvements.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Nice campsite, clean lots of space.

Showers/toilet nice and kept clean, Fishing great, nice little bar and restaurant.

Disliked No activities on, no shop open, when asked why they said it’s only open in busy times, I think this is wrong as people are still paying to stay there for the same price. Could have a little shop in reception for essentials,
No where to buy sanitary product.
Restaurant food was very good but very rushed and the man was taking the plates away before we had finished eating.
Some things were over priced.
No entertainment after August.
WiFi not great but we was ok with this.

Liked Good activities. Plenty of space.
Nice restaurant helpful staff

Disliked Having to pay the high price of soft play and crazy golf. Feel if you are staying on site, this should be discounted

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed the activities, open space, and had a great experience at our restaurant with our helpful team.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the pricing of the soft play and crazy golf. We do our best to keep activities affordable while maintaining and improving the facilities, but we completely understand your point. Offering a discount for guests staying on site is a great suggestion, and we'll certainly take that on board as we review our pricing and packages.

Thanks again for your input—we hope to welcome you back in the future!

Family Owen’s and very well looked after . Staff were super friendly

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Level open pitches, warm welcome, lovely outdoor bar and great food in the restaurant and a well stocked shop. We had a great stay despite the rain.

Disliked Awful showers, barely a trickle of hot water from them.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We're really pleased you enjoyed the level pitches, warm welcome, and had a great time at the outdoor bar, restaurant, and shop—despite the rainy weather!

We're sorry to hear about the issue with the showers. The water pressure problem is due to an external issue with Southern Water, and we've already alerted them to the problem. We're doing everything we can from our side and will continue to follow up until it's fully resolved.

We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back again soon—hopefully with better weather and better water pressure!

Local attractions

Marwell Zoo (five minutes' drive) has over 140 different species to admire – you can also leave the car back at base and stroll over (about 20 minutes) for a pedestrian safari. Paultons Park (25 minutes' drive) is another perennial fave for family-oriented days out – here you can meet Peppa Pig, crash down log flumes or opt for wanders through a dinosaur-filled forest. The South Downs National Park has some truly splendid hiking trails, including the 100-mile-long South Downs Way (the trail starts 15 minutes down the road in Winchester). Mountain bikers also have plenty to choose from around these parts – an exhilarating bike track through the woods is on hand in the nearby village of Bishopstoke (10 minutes). The gorgeous New Forest National Park (25 minutes) is also within easy reach, and one of the best ways to get around is by open-top tour bus. There are three routes to choose from – it all comes down to whether you prefer vistas of heather-covered heathland or coastal explores. Speaking of the sea, beaches like Lepe and Highcliffe Castle (both 40 minutes) are very much worth the journey (make sure to pack jelly shoes and a towel if at all tempted).
