We love it here, there is a large play area and field, two dog walking areas and plenty of showers and toilets. The pitches are big and the staff are friendly. The site is well placed for trips to the New Forest, Bournemouth, Christchurch, etc. unfortunately the seaside towns seem to be going into disrepair, Bournemouth was nothing like when we first visited and most of the towns shops were closed down and teenagers roaming round bored and causing trouble in the towns so I'm not sure if we'd stay here again, but obviously that's nothing to do with the site.
high crime in area
Had my car broken into on first night there - electric mobility scooter, and a lot of other thing taken, they cut the wire fence. Reported to site, then got told they had cut through the fence a few times that week gangs are active in the area - just call the police and report it.
Site more interested in keeping it quiet than the safety and security of the customers.
We should that been informed that some parts of the site is not safe.
Will not go back
Really lovely site
We discovered this site in March this year, it was lovely and quiet out of season and was a quick 10 min drive to get to the coast. We really enjoyed our stay, the staff are lovely and friendly, the on-site facilities are great and on certain days there is a pizza van and/or fish and chips. We returned for another stay early August, this time with our new puppy and enjoyed it just as much, we found the good-sized dog exercise area which our puppy loved running around off-lead. The site was obviously busier as it was school holidays but it was still a pretty quiet site given the circumstances and the toilet/shower block was always kept spotless. Would definitely recommend this site, good pitches, lovely staff, close to the forest and the coast. We will definitely stay again :-)
Very busy site !
Met with a polite although business like welcome at what is a very busy site,well stocked shop and great fish & Chip van.
Facilities are a credit to whoever cleans them as very clean in what must be challenging circumstances - they are obviously used by people from a site over the road with little or no facilities.
It is a large site with plenty of bins and service points but our pitch did feel cramped and nothing like as relaxing as Black knowle,nice if you like it busy but would not stay again.
Wouldn’t return
This site is in a lovely location. The showers and facilities are lovely and clean. In my opinion the pitches are too cramped and close together, especially for the price paid. I am scoring this site so low purely down to the management staff at this site, I have never stayed anywhere where the staff have been so unpleasant. Wow betide anyone that inadvertently falls foul of the rule book! They don’t clarify or explain themselves, they just keep referring to the rule book. Spiteful and vengeful! Most unpleasant trip ever and that is saying something for a 56 year old grandma. If you want a chilled relaxed trip, go up the road a bit further.
Loved it
Stayed 18th July for 5 days. Fabulous staff so helpful. Extremely clean. Great for walks and bike rides direct from site. Will be back for longer next time!

Another great stay.
Just had a weeks stay at one of our favourite sites.
Staff were helpful as ever and always willing to have a chat.
The site was as expected, clean, tidy and well kept, facilities were top notch as well.
Love this site for it's location and accessibility, great for walks with the dogs and easy access to beaches a few minutes away.
Fantastic dog free run area at the back of site, always nice to have a chat while the dogs run and play.
Cracking site, well done.
Fantastic site
We stayed for a complete week from Saturday to Saturday, arriving 9th July. It was very busy when we arrived but the pitches are well situated and we had plenty of space. The staff efficiently dealt with a large number of arrivals & we quickly were greeted whilst queuing and advised which documents they required. We were then booked in by a very friendly and welcoming lady who took time to answer all questions.
The site is easily reached from the main road & ideally situated for local attractions, beaches and forest villages and walks. The New Forest tour bus stops outside. The information room had loads of leaflets & books giving ideas. There were detailed instructions for walks & the whereabouts of pubs and restaurants. Within 5-10 minutes you could reach patrol stations & supermarkets.
The facilities on site were superb. The shower and toilet blocks were immaculately clean and all toilets & showers were working. The whole site was kept in top condition and each area was well situated & attractive to give privacy and made you feel like you were on a much smaller site. This is one of the best sites we have stayed on and we recommend it highly.
Excellent site.
Our welcome was very professional polite and courteous.
Serviced itches were big enough but considering top end price paid lacked any real privacy.and this gave the impression of being a little crammed in.
Facilities were spotless and the on camp dog walking areas were the best we have experienced. There were even small fenced and clean dog toilet areas discreatly placed around the site.
Reception area and the shop were both readily available and wardens spoke to us like we were adults, which is not always the case on these sites!
Location was great with easy access to local beaches and the new forest.
Selection of pitch would be key to us returning but this was a VERY nice site.
EXCELLENT site but don't expect peace and quiet
Lovely site. Clean and well kept. However the constant scream of petrol hedge cutters every day did become tedious.
