Powered gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Condition and size of pitches all good. Lots of activities to choose if you wished. Bar and restaurant. lots of walking in very green surroundings. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Disliked: No heating in toilet and shower blocks. But very hot water so did compensate.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: Amazing weekend at Marwell activity resort! Friendly staff & great facilities. The site has so much to offer for us as a family with 2 children aged 6 & 7. It was my first visit and we made use of the park on site, crazy golf course and the woodland activity course. We had fantastic weather therefore didn’t need to make use of anything else but I was pleased to see an indoor soft play for rainy stays and a fab restaurant. The toilets & showers were clean & spacious. I think you get fantastic value for money here & will be back next year for sure. Thank you Digby & team!

Powered grass campsite

Liked: Plenty of space.

Disliked: After all the families left in early September the reception was closed and some water pipes were turned off. The wastewater was not maintained and was about to overflow on the day we left (2 days earlier than booked). Big dislikes - sink taps too fierce showering the torso if you stand too close. Toilet/shower block lights go off after about 4 minutes and the sensor is in the centre of the room so if the site is quiet or at night, take a torch. No shop. Disabled toilet/shower room was disgraceful. Washing up facilities not cleaned. Activities only open at the weekend. Restaurant & bar closes at 5.30 & 3.30 on Wednesdays. Very expensive (£48 per night) for the lack of facilities. No trip on individual electrics for tents & cables laying in wet grass. Safety concern. Would not recommend.

Liked: Crazy golf and soft play (you have to pay for these)

Disliked: really like this site normally, but didn’t realise the season ends at the beginning of September and so the shop was shut and restaurant closed at 6.30. There was also clay pigeon shooting all day which was very noisy and scared my little boy.

Local attractions

Marwell Zoo (five minutes' drive) has over 140 different species to admire – you can also leave the car back at base and stroll over (about 20 minutes) for a pedestrian safari. Paultons Park (25 minutes' drive) is another perennial fave for family-oriented days out – here you can meet Peppa Pig, crash down log flumes or opt for wanders through a dinosaur-filled forest. The South Downs National Park has some truly splendid hiking trails, including the 100-mile-long South Downs Way (the trail starts 15 minutes down the road in Winchester). Mountain bikers also have plenty to choose from around these parts – an exhilarating bike track through the woods is on hand in the nearby village of Bishopstoke (10 minutes). The gorgeous New Forest National Park (25 minutes) is also within easy reach, and one of the best ways to get around is by open-top tour bus. There are three routes to choose from – it all comes down to whether you prefer vistas of heather-covered heathland or coastal explores. Speaking of the sea, beaches like Lepe and Highcliffe Castle (both 40 minutes) are very much worth the journey (make sure to pack jelly shoes and a towel if at all tempted).
