What customers say
Great for families! Spacious pitches, fun activities like soft play & adventure golf. Staff are lovely, facilities clean, and near Marwell Zoo. Minor shower/noise issues noted, but overall a top spot, with many keen to revisit. Restaurant and bar a hit.

Will be back as close to home and kids love it but needs updating
Powered gravel caravan site
Liked Spacious gravel pitches. Lots of things for young kids to do but few things looked a bit tired. Softplay and mini golf was great fun. Staff in the Adventure Barn and pub were great, really welcoming and helpful.
Disliked Showers were not that warm and few bits could do with a spruce. Trampolines in the park have been broken for the past 2 years and the adventure play in the woods needs redoing. Would be a real bonus if the shop opened up outside of peak times.
