Excellent site in a great location

This was our first proper stay on a club site with our new caravan, and we weren't disappointed. Welcomed by friendly, helpful staff when we arrived - early, and in pouring rain. The site is immaculate, well laid out and all services readily to hand. The visiting fish and chip van is a welcome alternative to cooking in the caravan and is good value. Plenty of tarmac and hard standing to make the site perfectly useable in the wettest weather. We loved the location, very handy for Highcliffe, Mudeford and Lymington, and you have the whole of the New Forest on your doorstep.

If only people followed the fules

We stayed here at the beginning of October for only our second trip of the year. This is one of our favourite sites and have visited on a few occasions. Nothing much has changed facilities wise which for the size of the site are pretty much upto scratch. To be honest, all good as far as the club and staff are concerned, but I do wonder what planet some fellow members live on. Having a young child with us for a couple of nights we had a need to use the family bathroom. On one evening, we found that some individual had actually taken their prized pooch into the family bathroom, washed and showered it in the bath, and then just left it in the most disgusting state with pet hairs all around. I have absolutely no issues with pets, having had dogs of my own in the past, but, there are dog washing facilities provided on site. Why on earth do we have to be subjected to such disgusting behaviour. I’m sorry if poor little pooch might have to suffer a cold water shower, but such is life. If you don’t like it get some nice warm water from your van and clean it in your space. It would also be very helpful if said pooches were walked in the dog walk area, rather than pop out of your van, get them to mess of others pitches then back to their own pitch. I sound very anti dog here, but actually I’m very anti owners that do not respect other humans. Your dog is your problem, don’t try and make it mine. In a nutshell, site great, site staff great, a few people ruin it for the majority.

Enjoyable stay....

A late availability & forecast of reasonable weather made us decide to try out the New Forest & we were pleasantly surprised with this spacious site & friendly wardens. Facilities were clean with a 1-way system in place. The site is flat, however the surrounding area can be hilly & cycling trails through the forest can be tricky on the loose gravel in places. Lovely site split into several areas named after the aircraft that had been part of the WW2 effort & that were based at the 12 airfields in & around the surrounding areas. A memorial of which is close by. Ideal for walking, cycling & plenty of local attractions to consider. Would definitely be somewhere to return with our grandchildren. The New Forest Pizza Company visit the site & are highly recommended.

Edit: stayed early September

Great Site with Great Staff

Stayed here late September and had a great time. The staff were brilliant, the location is excellent and the site is really well laid out, with a feel of a smaller site, despite it being one of the larger ones. We note that a fish & chip van visits site, but on the nights we stayed, there was also a Pizza Van - we tried their food and can highly recommend it! Good food, and great value. There are several walks from site into the New Forest - a circular walk to Holmsley is worth it as there's an excellent tea room at the Old Station, which is worth a stop over.

Great location

A site we've visited a good number of times, although this was our first post-covid visit. Lots of work had been done to make the site feel very safe, and to keep it feeling safe, even though its big and busy. Thank you wardens, really appreciate all your efforts. This site is a fantastic location. You can walk into the forest from the site. Or you can drive to the coast in 10 minutes.

Nice site, good location - but a gsm/4G dead zone

Nice setting plenty of space; quiet - we never noticed any aircraft nose given Bournemouth airport is not that far away Good facilities and well organised to be Covid-Secure Great Location for ease of access from M27 and well located for cycling; walking and ease of access to Christchurch, Bournemouth, Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst & Lymington BUT absolutely zero mobile phone signal (data, phone and sms) - probably a coverage issue within the New Forest and little the site can do about it

A very busy site: Nice but large

We came to this site when we had just started caravanning about 11 years ago. In fact it was our first trip out with a van. Since then we have been twice more, the latest being September 2020. The thing we have noticed is that the site has become much busier. The first night we were there, it was full. The way the site has grown and been laid out it feels very crowded with little privacy. Although when we were there the site itself was not noisy, there was aircraft noise (unavoidable) and garden machinery most days (the site size must mean there is always something going on). The team of wardens were as friendly as ever and the toilet blocks and grounds were always clean and in good order. There were clear Covid19 protocols in place and definite evidence of extra cleaning and safety. Would we come again? That is hard. For us, the negatives probably outweigh the positives when there are other good sites and CLs in the area. If there was nothing else for the dates we want, then we would come back. Nothing against the site or staff, it is just not the kind of size we like.

Well travelled

Have been to this site many times but found this time grass was very untidy more like a field not been cut and in places very long. We didn't use facilities as we used our own. We didn't see much of the wardens and didn't think any extra cleaning was done around service points. There was long queues at 12 to get in although arrival was 1 .We still will be coming back next year hoping everything was due to Covid and not just using it as an excuse and the site is up to usual standard

Nice and relaxing site

We have recently returned from this site from a 2 week holiday. The weather was fantastic which helped. The site is very large but with all the walk ways through to the facility blocks it is great and also the access to the water, waste and recycling bins. The pitches are a good size with clear markings where you have to pitch although I think some more hard stands would be good as it was full and we ended up on grass and the grass had not been cut. Wardens friendly on arrival and during the stay. Toilet blocks were clean and because of covid the "band" system worked well although a few people did not take a band when entering the facilities which meant there were more than 6 in there sometimes but not all the time. The fish and chip van is amazing, coming 3 times a week and the food is excellent and well priced. There is also a stone cooked pizza van which comes too but I prefer the fish and chips. Lots to do around the area, lots of walking especially for dogs but be careful when walking in the forest as there are lots of ponies, horses, cows and donkeys and also their droppings! We kept our dogs on leads when walking there and it was fine. The beaches are great and some are dog friendly. Nice costal walks, quite flat. This is our second visit in two years because we could not see everything on the first visit. Well worth a stay and hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
