A well run well located family site

We have stayed here twice and both times found the site well run, organised and ideal for a family holiday. It is a large site but is compartmented so feels smaller. Play area and dog walk are good. The location is great with walks locally in the New Forest yet it is also close to the coast. The wardens sold croissants, pain chocolat and baguettes over easter which were delicious, and arranged competitions for the kids. Good also to see a dog/bike wash - excellent after dog walks and bike rides in the forest. We will be back.

Egg-cellent Easter break

This site is in an ideal location for visiting either the New forest or the seaside towns nearby . This was our third visit to this site at this time of the year, being very popular , it was full over the bank holiday weekend, the shower blocks were kept clean and warm and never over busy . Overall a very good site and hopefully will visit again

Nice site but poo bin needs attending

On arrival, the obviously busy staff seemed to be trying out a system whereby one member of staff took the check in and another did the map work showing club members where the available pitches were. This was fine up to the point where we were waiting to be let in through the barriers, and waiting, and waiting....for quite some time before we finally got in. We eventually found a non awning pitch in the area called Typhoon (after the famous aircraft). All was well with the pitch and a good standard in the toilets and showers. It was only later into the Easter weekend that it became noticeable that the poo bin at the entrance to the (nice) dog walk field was getting very full. In fact it got so full that a small mound of poo bags was building up under the bin due to it being so full. Well done to all of the dog owners who were doing their bit to keep the area clean, but please can this bin be checked a little more often? On the Saturday night, there were four separate power outages for either the whole site, or at least the whole section that we were in. Probably one of those things, but it was a small niggle. All in all a good site that just needs some attention to detail.

Lovely site shame about the staff

Having never written a review before I felt incensed to this time. Arrived to this site for a long Easter weekend, with family and friends. Staff were slightly off, not too friendly when we arrived but put it down to them being busy. There were 3 touring families in our party and we all commented how lovely the site and facilities were and how close we were to visiting local sights. We all decided we would book again for later in the year as there is so much to do. However, each time we went in to the shop the staff were miserable and unhelpful. Especially on our last day when we asked if we could stay until 2pm in the afternoon and we were happy to pay as the weather was so good. I was met with a grumpy NO, we are full. However my friend went to reception after me and asked to stay another night and was allowed!! Not that full then!!! I know our pitch was not used the following day and there were plenty of pitches available to newcomers. This has completely put me off visiting again it doesn't hurt to be courteous with a smile. Shame as this was probably the best site we have stayed on, and we have stayed on quite a few.

Great site, Let down by rude Staff

I have been visiting this site Since 2009. The site wardens back then were amazing and really took pride in what they do. Every time a unit left out would come the lawn mower. They were always out and about on site making sure everything was ok and stop for a chat. Our visit this Easter however we were met by new wardens and I have to say the worst welcome to the site I've ever had the female warden was dismissive and quite snappy. My dad enquired whether he could upgrade to a services pitch but met with dismissive attitude and the same attitude when asking about hard standing "I know best " attitude. The same behaviour was shown towards my wife when she tried to make a purchase from the shop. I've never seen this site so in kept the grass was so overgrown everywhere you couldn't walk anywhere on the grass without the bottoms of your trousers soaking up moisture. If I ran the caravan club I certainly would think twice about the a wardens running a site again. It has upset my wife so much that she's thinking of staying somewhere else in future which is a shame as we visit this site 3-4 times a year.

Windy !

First time at this pleasant site, and first time as a novice on a hard standing ! Take a big hammer and big pegs, the flat site can whip up the wind and give the awning a rough time ! Local area very pleasant, had a nice stay.

Great Site

Stayed here for 16 nights last August. The site is huge but doesn't feel that big when sited. It was also busy but overall wasn't too noisy at night. Facilities were good but disappointed to see that half of the toilet block was closed at the end of August because the site was still quite full. Pitches were of an adequate size and level. Children enjoyed themselves and have elected to return for our main summer break again this year. New Forest area is also very nice. Overall the best CC site I have stayed on so far.

Disappointed

My fourth visit to this site was disappointing compared to previous visits. There has obviously been a warden change over and this has impacted on the atmosphere of the site. Don't expect to get a decent pitch unless you are local because the wardens start letting people in at 9am, which means all the local visitors guarantee themselves the best pitches. This happened the whole week we were there. Even though we visited in peak season and paid peak season prices two toilets and two showers were locked to cut down the cleaning for the wardens. Also paid £35per night for a service pitch to find our pitch surrounded by 3 cramped grass pitches. Could have stayed at the local premier inn for that price. Not what I expect from the caravan club.

Good start to the Year

This is a superb site which we have visited every year since it opened. We have watched it mature into a very attractive site. The facilities are well looked after by friendly wardens. We look forward to many more visits.
