What customers say

A gorgeous, tidy site with roomy, private spots and a serene vibe. Guests loved the abundant wildlife, spotless facilities, and kind, welcoming hosts. Fishing lakes are on-site. A brief mention of ticks in tall grass as a seasonal heads-up.

Sunset primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked A really wonderful campsite. Lots of different pitches for different group sizes, sunset pitch was perfect for the two of us. The toilets and showers were clean and well kept, and there's lots of animals (I would enjoy saying hi to the pigs!).

There is even an eco loo near the pitches further back (we were in Sunset 42) which was nice as it meant we didn't have to walk back to the toilet block all the time.

The owners were really helpful and friendly. One of my favourite campsites I've stayed on.

Disliked Nothing to dislike - there wasn't much phone signal during the day (but was oddly fine at night after about 10pm) but I always welcome this as it forces me to switch off.

Treeline primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Pitches are spacious and nicely laidout. Facilities were clean and maintained. Lovely little farm on site and two decent fishing lakes. Family that run the campsite were really friendly. I'd absolutely recommend the campsite and the woodfired pizzas made on site.

Centrepoint primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lovely set up with very friendly and helpful family run team. Attractive grounds, good facilities, showers and even a bath. Lots of friendly animals for the young ones to play with as well.

Disliked Having to park away from the tent in a separate parking area. I use the power from an EV to inflate the air beds every day, so had to keep bringing it and taking it back. That was a pain and seemed unnecessary.

Unless I missed it, there was no wi fi and the signal was really bad so this made communicating with home difficult at times. Minor gripe.

If coming from the Horton Inn way with a tourer or motorhome, you may want to go past the site's turning and find a safe space to turn around, as the turning to the left is at an angle and can be tricky to negotiate.

Local attractions

This is a fantastic area for outdoor activities, with places like Moors Valley Country Park (10 minutes' drive), which has cycle paths, orienteering and a treetop trail, and the New Forest National Park (15 minutes) close by. The national park has heaps of walks, bike rides and wildlife, plus attractions like New Forest Water Park (20 minutes) and the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu (40 minutes). And there's the coast too, of course – top spots nearby include the sandy beach in Bournemouth (25 minutes), wildlife-rich Hengistbury Head (half an hour) and the sailing hotspot of Lymington (40 minutes). At around an hour’s drive, Swanage and Durdle Door are a little further away but doable for a day trip. More family days out? How about Liberty's Owl, Raptor & Reptile Centre (20 minutes), Dorset Heavy Horse Farm Park (20 minutes) or Paultons Park, Home of Peppa Pig World (half an hour)?
