We chose this site because of its proximity to the south coast and new forest. We also wanted to visit Beaulieu which is nearby. Beaulieu is a great value day out, book in advance or use your caravan club membership for discount. As a bonus we realised the Sammy Miller motorcycle museum is very close too, thoroughly recommended! The site is excellent, the wardens really friendly, I notice some reviewers say the dog area is muddy but it had been very dry leading up to our visit and this was no problem at all for us. There is loads to do on the south coast, sadly some of the roads are very congested, particularly around Bournemouth, but a bit of map work avoided the worst. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our two labradoodles now know every inch of the dog areas! Highly recommended, don't miss the twice weekly visits by the fish and chip van!
