Liked: Another great week away. We love this site, it’s family friendly and there’s enough to do without being too much. It’s so nice to see the children make friends, play ball together, hide and seek etc and not have all the commercialised rubbish to distract them from being outside and playing. The staff are friendly and always make you feel welcome. I couldn’t rate it highly ebough.

Liked: The site was really nice. The staff were welcoming on arrival and friendly during our stay. The pitches were nice an level and fairly spacious. All of the facilities were clean, it was nice having lots of showers. It was great being so close to Marwell Zoo & not far from Southampton for day trips. The food and live music was excellent.
Disliked: The play area was a little disappointing and in need of improvement. The tree house was rickety & didn’t seem very safe & there was another wooden play house that was out of bounds.
Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere, spacious pitches, clean facilities, and proximity to Marwell Zoo and Southampton. It’s great to know the food and live music added to your experience.
We appreciate your honest comments about the play area. Safety is our top priority, and we’re actively reviewing and planning improvements to ensure all play equipment is safe and enjoyable for children. Your feedback helps us make those important changes.
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts—we hope to welcome you back for another stay soon!

Liked: Staff helpful and accommodating. Pitches well maintained and spacious. Clean
shower and toilets. Washing up facilities good.Disliked: Toilet facilities would have been nice near our pitch (G1) especially at night. The walk to toilets at night was a little scary!
Thank you for your kind words! We’re glad you found our staff helpful and the pitches well maintained. It’s great to hear the shower, toilet, and washing-up facilities met your needs.
We completely understand your concern about the distance to the toilets near pitch G1, especially at night. We’re always looking for ways to improve guest convenience and safety, so your feedback is very valuable to us.

Liked: Lovely resort.
Lots to do for children.
All the staff were friendly and helpful.
Toilets and showers were clean and maintained throughout the day.Disliked: Pitches are a bit close to each other.
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re delighted to hear you had a lovely stay with us! We appreciate your comment about the pitches being a bit close, and we’ll keep this in mind as we continue to improve the site.
We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Liked: Loved the fishing lake and the dog walking area which was awesome. The restaurant looked really nice although we didn’t attend as we were only on a short visit. The campsite was more for families and children, and as we were just two older adults camping it did get a bit overwhelming with the noise and the entertainment! (It was a bank holiday weekend!). The campsite itself however had a nice feel to it.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the fishing lake and dog walking area, and it’s great to hear you liked the overall feel of the campsite.
We understand that during busy times like bank holiday weekends, the lively atmosphere and entertainment can be a bit much, especially for guests looking for a quieter stay. We appreciate you highlighting this, and we do offer quieter periods during the year for those who prefer a more peaceful experience.
We hope you’ll consider visiting again during one of those times, and we’d love to welcome you back!
Its an amazing camp site ! …

Liked: The spacious plots allowing us to pitch out tents as we want.
The facilities are good and were cleaned as much as the staff could.
The Wednesday night pizzas.
Washing up facilities were good.Disliked: Wednesday night pizzas aren't on for very long.
Lack of kids activities. Tree top adventure was not available. Kids didn't get long on the quad bikes for the money (£28).
Empty vending machines.
Only one small freezer for all the pitches. Needs at least 2 tall freezers.
Gym was expensive (£10 per day).
Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the things you enjoyed during your stay—it's great to hear you appreciated the spacious pitches, the effort our team puts into keeping the facilities clean, and of course, our Wednesday pizza night!
We do understand your concerns and really appreciate you sharing them. Just to clarify, the gym is operated by a third-party provider, so we don’t set the pricing ourselves. However, we’ll pass on your comments to them for review.
The Tree Top Adventure is currently closed for the season due to not having the appropriate trained staff in place. As guest safety is our top priority, we’ve made the difficult decision to keep it closed until we can operate it to the correct standard.
Regarding the freezer space and vending machines—your points are noted, and we are reviewing these amenities for future improvements. We also appreciate your feedback on the quad bike sessions and will take this into account as we assess our activities.
Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review. We're glad you enjoyed your overall stay, and we hope to welcome you back again soon.

Liked: The wild meadows dog walk and the lakes.
Nice location.Disliked: Bar seemed to only be open odd hours. Staff weren’t the friendliest and they seemed very understaffed with one member doing multiple things.
Shop was very small and didn’t have a wide selection.
Place seemed very run down and outdated. It has such potential to be an amazing site but it just felt like a camp site where your school used to take you. The washing up facilities were good but the space had such potential such as having large freezers to store freezer bags, food etc. it could have done with a paint also to freshen it up. There were empty vending machines that they could have filled and space to add some cheap toy machines.
The ground was awful with random holes on the main pathway - our pitch had a massive hole in the middle which we all kept tripping on despite there being sand.
There should have been more signage for vehicles/ pedestrians as the cars sped through and drove too quickly. I’m aware it’s private land so there’s no requirement to have signs etc but other campsites have done and it makes such a difference. It would have felt safer having a proper crossing for pedestrians as the main track felt like a race course and an accident waiting to happen.
The site should also be signposted with a speed limit to ensure safety.
The showers were awful; only on for a few seconds before you had to push the button again. They weren’t the cleanest as I think the staff struggled to keep up with the footfall. The water pressure was also awful and came out as a drizzle. There were no family showering units which meant my husband wasn’t able to assist with the girls; not ideal if he was camping on his own with them.
The toilets themselves were tiny. Barely enough room to shut the door and I’m not the biggest person.
There was an old play castle near our pitch but was out of action and has been for a while which is a shame as it has such potential.
The children were happy and played well and spent a lot of time in the fields but would have been nice to have something a bit closer to the pitch for them to do.
Also there was no noise curfew which I’m fine with usually but when you have children running around and screaming at gone midnight it’s a bit annoying.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We’re really glad you enjoyed the natural surroundings of our site, especially the wild meadows, lakes, and open space for children to play—these are things we’re proud to offer our guests.
We’re sorry to hear that certain aspects of your stay didn’t meet your expectations, and we appreciate you sharing your feedback.
Just to clarify a few points you raised:
Speed and site safety: We do have speed limit signs displayed around the park and take safety very seriously. That said, we are reviewing whether additional signage or traffic calming measures might help further improve awareness.
Family bathroom: We do have a designated family bathroom located at the end of the main shower block next to the washing-up area. It offers ample space for parents assisting children, and we’re sorry if this wasn’t clearly signposted during your stay.
The “play castle”: The structure you referred to is actually a storage shed and is not intended for guest use. We’ll make sure its appearance doesn’t cause confusion moving forward.
Noise curfew: We operate a 10:30 PM quiet time policy, and our site warden carries out regular walkarounds to help enforce this. Every guest is also provided with the warden’s phone number so that any concerns after hours can be dealt with promptly. We’re sorry if your experience didn’t reflect that, and we would have appreciated the opportunity to help had we known at the time.
Facilities: We do understand that some of our facilities can feel dated and are actively making improvements. We're also reviewing vending and freezer availability, and appreciate your suggestions.
We’re continuously working on making the site more enjoyable and accessible for all our guests, and your feedback is very helpful in highlighting areas to improve.
Thanks again, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear you had another great week with us and that you appreciate the family-friendly atmosphere and the chance for kids to just be kids—playing outside and making friends is what it’s all about.
Our team will be thrilled to know they made you feel so welcome. We truly value your kind words and can’t wait to welcome you back for many more happy stays!
