A aimé : This was a nice quiet site, with a slightly sloping pitch, and large pitch size. We booked late and were accommodated, which was great. Bollard access with ANPR to drive in. Separate enclosed field for dogs to exercise, playground area and ball game area. The field we were in (Holly) was wide and there was ample room between us and the tents opposite. Fire pits were an option for an extra charge and logs for sale.

N'a pas aimé: Shower/toilet block area was sub-standard, particularly in the wet weather, as there was no shelf/seat in the shower and all there was a couple of hooks on the back of the door. Nowhere to put your shower gel in the shower apart from on the floor, which may be an issue for people with mobility issues. The floor outside the shower was always wet and muddy as the floor didn’t slope and you’re stood on this to get changed. There was a mop, but I wouldn’t have used it to ‘clean’ the floor, as there was dirty water in the bottom. An extra shower block was opened for the bank holiday weekend, and at least this had a shelf for toiletry bag/toothbrush at the sinks, unlike the regular toilet block. There is some work going on, with notes up on new amenities coming at some point. There isn’t a reception, which is a little weird post-covid, you just drive in and set up. Our initial email arrived after booking that stated we could arrive from 13:00 until 20:30, but the final email arrived the day before and changed these times from 14:00 until 18:00. Soap in the toilet was good, but the toilet paper would run low, and it became important to check. Our tent backed onto an ash old metal style dustbin, which people would use at all times, particularly on departure day, with bricks put next to this bin for the fire pits.

A aimé : Clean, organised and well maintained site. Good access to lovely towns, villages and areas of natural beauty. Sport areas were great for kids and families and the dog field was a bonus for friends with a dog. Clearly they are developing the facilities to make this site even better. The site rules seemed to set an expectation of behaviour which lead to a relaxed atmosphere and limited noise after 10:30pm, even if some groups carried on a bit longer.

N'a pas aimé: Some teething and / or logistical problems here as the site improves. There was limited hot water for washing up and current facilities might not be enough for busy periods. Their booking systems don’t cope with non standard requirements it seems. I struggled to contact and get a response from site management for several days when enquiring about how to make a slightly complicated small group booking that didn’t appear possible on available booking websites. It made it hard to confirm and make plans with friends. Given the cost of this site, it was disappointing.

A aimé : Very clean, grass well kept. Well arranged , nice little park for the kids. Bbq and fires allowed. Showers and toilets pretty clean. Rising bollard made it feel secure and worked well. Loads of water stand pipes. Fire safety provision good. Short drive to winchester cathedral which was great.

N'a pas aimé: Kids kicking footballs against the fence, and playing cricket near our tent and van even though there was a massive playing field. Maybe put signs up. Maybe im just a miserable git. Would do well to sort a shop out pronto, we would have spent loads of money if they had one for camping essentials and food, as we are noobs. Perhaps would have liked the option to pick our pitch location. Never met any staff , there was a number , but we didnt need to use it. They are buildimg a reception which should help.
