What customers say
Great for adults! Praised for peace, modern facilities, and on-site bar. Friendly staff, spacious pitches, and lovely woodland walks are highlights. Easy access to the New Forest. Minor road noise/Wi-Fi noted, but most loved it and want to return.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked The site was extremely clean and well looked after with gardens and hedges well maintained. The showers and toilets were spotless and regularly checked on. They have different food vendors in each night which are all really good, especially the jacket potatoes! Our dog loved the open spaces to run off lead in the forest and surrounding area. Will definitely be back next year 😊

From the manager: Thank You Anjella for the 10/10and so pleased you will be returning next year.
With regard to the hire company of the car, I am sorry but they are a separate business and we cant take responsibility for their cars to be handed to us. It is an insurance issue.
We will ask the car company if they can come up with a improvement to this system.
many thanks
