Disappointing
Many other reviewers have talked about the approach road and although I can confirm it is very rough and full of pot holes, it is comparable to other campsites within the New forest, my issue is not with that. Mine is with the distance to get into the village. After checking the day before that the site was not flooded, what I wasn't told was, that the footpath into the village was. This meant having to use the approach road and doubling back on yourself to get into the village which was just under 2 miles and to the train station 2.5 miles. My idea of walking to the pub in the evening and staggering back after dark was simply impossible. Had the footpath been accessible at around half the distance of about a mile, this would have been achievable. We did manage to cycle in using the approach road but had to start very early to get back as it was getting dark at around 8pm. I cannot fault the facilities, the site staff and the general overall location at all. Brilliant for cycling and walking in the Forest, visiting all the little towns and villages, excellent train service but too remote for motorhome users who need to rely on foot and cycle.
