Just returned from spending the Hallowe’en weekend at the Centenary site. Our son, daughter in law and boys aged 6 and 10, who also have a motorhome joined us for the 4 night stay. This site never fails to deliver and the effort made by the wardens to deliver a great Hallowe’en experience was no exception. The site was decorated with ghosts, ghouls, spiders and laughing clowns to the delight and amusement of both children and adults. There was fun, and hallowe’en themed games for all on the Saturday evening plus a pumpkin competition and best decorated van not to mention photo booth and candy floss and goody bags for all the children and a tipple for everyone. Both young and old dressed up and entered into the spirit of the evening. And all for free courtesy of the wardens who work hard throughout the season to ensure the highest standards are maintained. A fitting celebration for the final weekend of the 2022 season at this site. Can’t wait to return in the Spring. Many thanks to the Wardens enjoy your winter break.
Perfect stay
We have just returned from a fantastic 8 days at this wonderful site. The staff could not do enough for us. The dog walks are wonderful enabling the dogs to be off lead. There are wonderful walks close by also beaches within a 12 min drive away.
As it was halloween the site staff put on a wonderful event for children and adults all out of their own pocket. They provided candy floss and goody bags for each child, even a competition for best unit….which we won lol.
A huge thank you to the staff we will be back
Lovely break in the new forest
We have just returned from a lovely long break at the New Forest Site. The Site Managers are very helpful and friendly and our thanks to Jon and Sophie for all their help.
The site is very large and maintained to a very high standard. The toilets and shower block was clean and tidy.
Would recommend this site to fellow members.
Thank you
Perfect
Enjoying our stay on a nice wide hardstanding pitch, Very friendly staff, even when they are busy, The gated entrance makes you feel safe, lots of lights at night around the site, Lots of dog walkers about enjoying the dog walking area, Very clean and tidy, Cant find anything negative to say, Shame they have to close for the winter
Beautiful peaceful site
Just got back from a 5 night stay here. It is a beautifully maintained site in the middle of the New Forest. The wardens were really friendly and helpful and the facilities were very clean with unisex toilets for use during the times they are being cleaned. There is a good variety of food vans visiting throughout the week, fish and chips, chilli, pulled pork. We had the fish and chips and they were very good. We had a grass pitch with EHU - all the pitches were a very good size. There are plentiful water and waste stations around the site. There was some road noise but only first thing in the morning. We did a lovely 6 mile walk round Holmsley using one of the walking guides from the information room on site which you can get photocopied in Reception for 10p.. We visited Lymington which is one of our favourite towns in the area. You just need to be aware that unless you have a bike you will need a car to get to walks etc - there is no safe way of walking from the site. The children's playground is good and well maintained - our 9 month old grandson visited and had a lovely time in the playground. There is also a really good activity playpark just outside the site for older children. If you have dogs (we don”t) I have never seen so much choice of dog walking areas on a CAMC site! The only negative is the lack of mobile reception - we really struggled to do anything on line and could only get terrestrial TV. If you want a peaceful stay in lovely surroundings I would highly recommend mend this site.
Bigwig Toy Poodle Reports
This Club Site has two dog walks and I could come off the lead. Her in the driver's seat said the clue is in the number of pitches which makes it very large and probably better for families or those who like to have facilities to hand. Good location for the New Forest and the beach. We had good walks at Highcliffe Beach which has a car park with no height barriers.
A bit crowded
Very pleasant welcome on arrival, very helpful & friendly staff, Toilets & showers immaculate, Pitches a bit crowded and feel small not a lot of spare space around the pitch. could do with the children's play filed (ball field) being given some TLC.
Good location for New Forest, Bournemouth & the coast only 15 minutes away.
Another excellent site
Being new to Motorhoming - having spent the last 30-odd years with a motorboat and moorings on the Norfolk Broads, we decided to join the Club as a valuable source of information and assistance. As now we have reached an age where taking tortuous leaps onto grass banks whilst heaving around 7 tons of fibreglass - even on slippery water was becoming a chore, plus seeing more of the Country whilst sitting comfortably definitely seemed very attractive.
We have not been disappointed - and joining the Club and using Club sites is the best thing we could have done.
Directly after picking up the motorhome, we spent two nights at the Norfolk Broads site just 30mins from the dealers (we live on the East Coast) and then a night at the Commons Road Site en-route to four nights at the New Forest Centenary Site. This was followed by a night "on the way back" at Ashridge Farm Site.
It has to be said that all the sites were of an equally high standard with tidyness and cleanliness being superb.
We have definitely made the correct decision and are looking forward to many more years of experiencing the friendly welcome, attractive sites and glorious countryside.
Excellent family and dog friendly site
Stayed here recently during the August 2022 heatwave and had a great time. We found a nice grass electric pitch opposite the shower and toilet blocks which was also handily near the fresh tap water and waste water so we didn't have far to use the facilities. There was plenty of space between each pitch so you weren't all on top of each other.
I brought my son and his friend with me and they had a great time scooting round the site which was very level and tarmacked so perfect for bikes, scooters, pushchairs and roller skates.
There is a kids play area with climbing frame and slides and swings and next to that there is a large football pitch with goalposts and also at the end a badminton/volleyball net.
There are 2 dog exercise areas on site, both of which are perfect for dogs off lead so you can exercise your pet and not worry it will run off! Dogs on site must be on a lead but these areas are perfect to let them run off some steam. The one at the entrance to the site is very leafy and shady so perfect for hiding away from the recent hot sun.
The toilets and showers are cleaned daily and are immaculate. Staff at reception and the shop are both friendly and helpful.
There is no restaurant on site however there are food vans which arrive on certain evenings including wood-fired pizza, fish and chips and chilli.
The site is conveniently located 15 mins from Avon Beach and theres also a large Sainsburys as well as several restaurants (Harvester, Toby Carvery, Beefeater and a Vintage Inn) just a short drive away in Christchurch as well as KFC, McDonalds and a Lidl/Aldi.
Fantastic stay
Stayed here last weekend with 3 girlfriends. Don't agree with a few reviews on here about the staff. They couldn't have been friendlier from the moment we arrived till we left. The pitch we chose was large and had lots of space all around and the campsite was quiet both during the day and in the evening even being height of school holidays. Delicioius fish and chips from the van on Saturday night. Facilities at the shower and toilet block were always immaculate. Great location for visiting Mudeford and Christchurch. Loved it so much I have booked to come back with my hubbie in a few weeks time fingers crossed the weather's as good!
