Muddycreek Farm

Liked Lots of space. Open field. Has toilets and showers. Drinking water.

Disliked Host attitude was terrible. They were very unfriendly and unwelcoming, especially, Molly. They treated us like small misbehaving children and seemed very annoyed at having us as customers in general. Despite us being only moderately loud and responding to their requests to keep it quiet (note that small kids were much louder than us), they threatened to kick us out or force us to split up into smaller groups on different ends of the pitch and not gather together. They also accused us of malice and intentionally violating "all of their terms and conditions". Very bad experience, in general. We will definitely avoid this campsite next time.

From the manager: We work hard to provide a peaceful environment for all guests, which is why we have a group-size limit and quiet time after 10pm. Your party made multiple separate bookings to bypass the group-size policy, arrived after are standard setup time and did not check in, presumably to avoid detection before you set up! Noise continued well past the quiet time despite repeated requests to reduce the volume. Several nearby guests raised concerns, so our team acted in accordance with our published terms and conditions to ensure everyone could enjoy their stay. We welcome guests of all ages, but we ask that everyone follow the same rules.

Liked This site was wonderful. Well run and managed, a great space. Everything provided for. Lovely clean and luxury toilets, great washing up area, showers and even teeth cleaning area with mirrors!
Drinking water available at multiple locations.
Beautiful and peaceful, surrounded by horses and trees.
A short walk from the lovely town of Milford-on-sea and the beach.
Delicious and well organised pop up pizza on the Friday night, which was a real bonus!

Liked Large field and able to pitch anywhere. Close to Milford on Sea and the bus stop for Lymington. Friendly and helpful staff. Basic but clean facilities. Excellent pizza pop-up on the Friday. New Forest ponies on site. Good arrival and departure times.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Liked flat and very large open fields ,plenty of room when we were there (august).Simple no nonsense site . Easy walk down to the milford and keyhaven .

Disliked showers a little temperamental temperature wise (good flow though).Had no queuing issues personally but would imagine with only 4 available and the site nearer to full may be that statement may change.
Entrance is tight and dodgy for getting out of as it is on a bend.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you found your experience only adequate, as we strive to offer a peaceful stay that many of our guests value. We deliberately keep our numbers low - around half what many other sites allow - so there's plenty of space for both peace and play, especially for children.

We noticed the low score for accommodation, but you provide your own tent? We provide flat ground and plenty of room for your tent/camper.

Our facilities are basic, as is necessary for a pop-up site, but we maintain then to a high standard and clean them several times a day. While it's not possible to clean them after every single use, we are always nearby and happy to respond quickly if anything needs attention.

The low score for Wi-Fi was a little baffling, as we don't provide or advertise Wi-Fi. Many guests come specifically to unplug and get back to nature, though for those who do need to stay connected there's excellent 4G coverage across the site.

We were also surprised by the low score for child-friendliness. One of the things many families like is the open space for children to play freely and safely in the field -feeding the ponies, playing ball games or just enjoying the outdoors with new friends they make on the site. We're less than a mile from a beach and 3 miles from the New Forest with endless opportunities for walks, bike rides, nature and outdoor exploration. What we don't offer is a games room or screens - our focus is on real play, not digital entertainment.

It's always disheartening to receive reviews like this when we put so much time, care, and effort into making the site the best it can be. We're on hand during guests' stays and always happy to help, so its a shame when concerns aren't raised at the time - we'd much rather have the chance to make things right than read about them after.
