Andark Lake

Me gustó This is difficult because if I told you how idyllic this place is and how very friendly and helpful the staff are you would all want to go there and then I might not be able to get a spot on my return. This campsite definitely grows on you in the first couple of days to the point where you do not want to leave. The views over the lake and the wild life including dear in the camping field when it is quiet. This was our second time and we tried the cold water swimming in the Lake which was actually (23 degrees C) so not so cold. Sitting in the mornings over looking the lake enjoying a coffee and full English breakfast from the onsite café was fabulous. Will definitely be returning again. They also do a full moon swim on certain nights in the summer where they light up around the lake with candles and torches. Oh did I mention it also has a Sauna at the side of the lake and if you want a bit of a change one evening then go to one of the two near by pubs for meal or a acholic beverage both of which are within walking distance. The nearest being The Ship Inn (at the end of the driveway up to the campsite) and the other The Jolly Sailor that if you can be bothered to drag yourself away from this fabulous friendly campsite.

No me gustó There is a slight downside, and that is in the gents loos and changing rooms. There is a slight dip in the floor near the sinks which tends to hold a slight puddle of water which is a shame but not a game changer.

Me gustó We really loved the campsite, helpful staff and facilities. Admittedly, we thought the swimming in the lake was included. As no prices were shown. We look forward to staying again with you. Absolutely breathtaking mature oaks and woodland. Thanks again. Tris

Me gustó As always extremely friendly, clean and welcoming. We joke that as this site isn’t busy we should down play how fantastic it is to avoid other people flooding it.
The owners clearly have thought about capacity vs services and the shower and toilet ratios are better than a normal site. Andark benefits from using the dive school facilities which as one would imagine are top notch. A quiet tranquil place that also serves great food.

Me gustó We were travelling with our 13 month old child. We were given a pitch out the way so it was nice and quiet. The site is in a lovely location!

No me gustó Nothing!

Me gustó The setting is perfect, right in the heart of the area so easy to get to loads of places to do touristy things but up a gravel country road in a field so you feel totally separate from the bustle of Southampton traffic. Really peaceful and quiet, nice amenities, will definitely go again. One thing I didn't expect was the nightly display of bats around dusk, filling their little bat bellies with insects on the wing. Lovely to see.

No me gustó Nothing.

Me gustó Lovely location with views over the lake, very nice coffee shop and the small team tried their best with our plot size.
Transport good and local bars/restaurants good although a bit pricey for the area.

No me gustó The facilities were shared by all swimmers of the lake so the changing room was always packed with just 2 showers & 2 toilets resulting in cold showers and very dirty wet floors that were not cleaned during our 5 day stay.

Me gustó Quiet site, loads of room, it's our second stay and we'd definitely go back

No me gustó Would appreciate a discount on swimming and other activities if staying on site! Some pitches are not anywhere near level - we were in 7/8/9 which are all fine.

Me gustó The secure nature of the site, the peace and quiet, the ease of checking in

No me gustó That a swim in the lake is still charged, would be nice to have the option to use it within the pitch fee

Me gustó The site was amazing. Great views over the lake. Really nice and friendly staff. Very handy shop and cafe. The WiFi reached us in our campervan. Nice clean toilets and showers. Very reasonably priced holiday and we’ve already booked again!

No me gustó Nothing to dislike.

Me gustó Excellent cafe on site with huge portions, I don’t manage even a 1/4 of the portion of beans on toast

No me gustó The site is really not set up for motorhome. We were on the largest pitch #6 and it was just not suitable.
Electric is a daisy chain of extension cables. The water station had to be driven to and it was nearly impossible to do a 3 point turn in.
Cold showers

Definable not worth the £35 per night, considering we stayed at a CAMH site and this was only £35 per night
