Another Excellent Stay.

We stayed on this lovely site for a 2nd time in May. Pitches are spacious, wardens helpful and friendly and lots of interesting places to visit. We went to Bournemouth, Christchurch and Keyhaven - not to be missed. An extra bonus is the fish and chip fan - unfortunately we missed the pizza but hopefully we will time it right next time - and there will be a next time!

Loved this site

Stayed for a week here during May. Had a very warm welcome from the wardens who were probably some of the friendliest we had met. Check in procedure very good. Pitches are excellent and all facilities very clean. Location for us was very good as we enjoy the coast, walk from Bournemouth to Hengistbury was stunning. Mudeford is lovely. Would be a bit difficult to get around if you didn't have a car as the position of the site is quite isolated. The shop was quite well stocked and we enjoyed fish and chips from the van that comes 3 times per week and also had a very nice pizza from the wood oven that visits twice a week. Both well priced. Will certainly come back.

Beautiful site........But

This is by far the nicest site we have stayed on, clean tidy plenty of space. The wardens were friendly and helpful and the cake in the shop is delicious. A good play area (we didnt use it). But I doubt we will ever stay there again. For us the location was all wrong, we have a dog and like to go off walking from the site this wasnt really possible here, we had to go everywhere by car. Its ok if you have a bike (we didnt). There is a fish and chip van and a pizza van that come to the site both are really good.

Unwelcoming and Unhelpful Wardens

We have visited this site many times but this time we found the wardens unhelpful, unfriendly and very jobsworth. On our arrival, we were told we should have arrived after 1pm so we queued with the other vans. We were then rudely ushered through at 12:15 which has never been our experience before during our lengthy membership. Despite telling the warden that we have visited before, he continued to give us all the spiel but not in a usual warm CAMC way. Later in the week, the female wardens gave my son in law (a new member) contradictory instructions as to where he should pitch, saying 'any pitch' and he had to move his van (no offer of help from the wardens despite the two very small children with my family). He had in fact pitched by a blue marker next to our van which had miles of room, much more than the pitch to the left and opposite. He even offered not to put up his awning. I am sorry to say that I don't think I saw the wardens smiled once or greet people in the usual fashion that we are used to. Overall the wardens were not kind. Also, the showers in the blocks were not cleaned properly. Hair accumulated around the edges. But then I see two young cleaners (not wardens) hanging about outside the block on their phones! Come on CAMC, I know we've been through hard times but a smile and kindness wouldn't go a miss especially as this was our first trip out in over a year.

Lovely site in the New Forest

We spent three nights at this site a few weeks ago and had a lovely stay. The location is impressive, being on an old WWII RAF base, and the team at the Caravan & Motorhome have done a really good job in acknowledging this history with the names of the different areas of the site being named after the types of planes, and the memorial garden is lovely too. It's a huge site, and the staff were really helpful in identifying the available pitches to us on the map so we didn't have to drive around looking for too long. Once we'd got set up, we realised someone else was using our EHU point so we had to get the staff to swap them over to the correct point, which they did straight away for us with no problem. This site is definitely a good one for families as there is a huge play area - if you are looking for a more peaceful stay I would recommend booking out of term time/during the week! There are also two great dog-walks on site which I really appreciated, as they were very close to our pitch and I could let our little dog run off once I was through the gate. The site's location is ideal for exploring the New Forest - pretty much everything of interest is within 20 minutes drive which is handy. Would definitely recommend this site to anyone looking to visit this beautiful part of the country!

Will Definitely Return

This was our first visit to this site over the bank holiday weekend and we loved it. The pitches are great and we would be happy being sited on any one of them. Facilities are super and clean and the motorhome service points are very accessible. Having a wood fired pizza van and fish and chip van visiting on two nights was a bonus. Good base for cycling and short drive to lovely beaches. Can't wait to return!

Very relaxing stay

Stayed for 3 nights mid week. Good location for exploring the area. Very well run and clean site. Staff very friendly. Stayed during school time so no children around. Facilities partially open (no showers) but all well maintained, whole site felt very safe. Pitches are well spaced and a good size. Location is peaceful and relaxing, children's area and wildlife zone. Nice walks around - walked into Bransgore in around 40 mins although not much footpaths so beware of traffic! Fish and Chip van one night and Pizza van the next was a nice option if needed. Will certainly return.

Lovely site

We first stayed here in December last year and loved it that much that we booked to go back once lockdown eased in April. We explored the local area, at the end of the drive and turn left you can walk for miles (just follow the well trodden path) where the ponies and cows roam free. There is a war memorial at the back of the site, worth a look if you like history. We were booked in to the other club site up the road but we much preferred the look of this site so have swapped. The site is well spaced out and you choose your spot rather than being told where to park. One of our favourite sites

Fantastic site for our first ever motorhome holiday

It was our first ever motorhome holiday with our new (to us) motorhome and what a great site to start. Fantastic location from where we visited boltons bench and avon beach both highly recommended. Great site with good clean facilties,nice shop and dog walk. Playground is good for kids above 5 so not so suitable for our toddler.

Fantastic family break

This site was fantastic, we stayed for 4 nights and were pleased that the facilities were open to use. They were very clean and tidy. We arrived early enough to have our choice of pitches all of which looked really well kept and we hardly needed to do any levelling at all. Check in was a piece of cake with the warden meeting us at the gate and passing on any necessary paperwork through the car window. The kids absolutely loved the play park which kept them amused for hours. We tried out the fish and chip van which visits the site and it was tasty. The site was really close to Burley where we visited twice and Highcliffe which was only 10 mins away. We will definitely be coming to stay at this site again in future.
