What customers say
Lovely New Forest spot, loads of outdoor fun for families. Staff are dead sound, pitches grand, and facilities top-notch. Activities are a big hit, though some reckon they're dear. A bit of plane and camper noise, and some toilets could be cleaner. Still, a grand family adventure site.

Lovely place with great activities.
Non-electric grass pitch (no pets, lake view)
Liked Activities were great. Very clean facilities.
Disliked Eco toilet - would have loved to use it at night, but makes such a horrific noise, would have woken everyone up. Plus so very dark, hard to close the door to lock. It really needs a proper toilet there where it's most used mid camp, with good lighting.

Not sure if I would return due to the dusty camping areas
Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch (woodland, pet friendly)
Liked Staff all friendly,activities good kids really enjoyed them.
Disliked The state of the grass areas, very very dusty, grass obviously not watered through the summer. The dust was so bad I have had to erect my awning at home to try and get it clean.

Electric grass pitch (no pets, lake view)
Liked We have been here 5 times over the years and we always stay lakeside. Never disappointed plenty of space for pitch and kids to play the park is a great addition. We have in the past enjoyed onsite activities and we love the lake activities the most. And we will be back.

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch (forest, pet friendly)
Liked Beautiful site with lots of playgrounds and activities, my son struggled on the high ropes and the instructor was absolutely brilliant with him. The facilities are nice and clean.
Disliked They really pack you in like sardines. I imagine it's a better site for group bookings as we really would have liked a bit more space, there was less than a metre between tents.

Lovely site. Lots for kids! Everything you need.
Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch (woodland, pet friendly)
Liked Easy to find, Helpful Staff. Everything we needed for our stay! Good location.
Disliked Pitches were a little confusing but once you figured out boarders was Ok - Other people not so smart though! So had someone ‘living on our doorstep’ for the last night as they set the tent up too close!

Great venue.
Non-electric forest floor tent pitch (forest, pet friendly)
Liked All staff positively engaged each time I needed to speak to them. The young woman working the cafe on her own on the night of 30/08/25 deserves a bonus. High volume of food output, high volume of sales and still great customer interaction. Good campus, great activities. Facilities were generally clean. Well positioned for exploring the forest by bike.
Disliked Nothing really, it s on the Bournemouth flight path but I’ve camped a couple of miles away and it’s still just as noisy.
