Excellent site to stay for 1 night or several

We booked a Ferry pitch on return from France at the end of June and I have to say that it was excellent for a 1 night stay. We were met as we arrived and guided to the pitch - all set up within about 15 minutes! Staff were excellent and the facilities were kept very clean! The ferry pitches are a great idea and the normal pitches layout also look very nice so all in all a perfect place to stay for one night or several!

GREAT SITE FOR FERRIES & HISTORIC DOCKYARD- NEED STRICTER RULES POSTED FOR DOG OWNERS!!

We stayed at Rookesbury for a few days before and after our trip to France in June '24, so we could visit the historic dockyard at Portsmouth. You can get a 'park and ride' for just £4 per car (covering up to 5 passengers) which has it's final stop within a few minutes walk to the dock entrance. The site is very clean and tidy, with the toilets being spotless. The Wardens were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, what seemed to be lacking was a stricter control over the rules of dogs on site and the responsibilities of their owners. It seems that CAMC members think that because they love their dogs, everybody who don't have dogs will also! There is an exercise area where owners can take their dogs, but every day we watched owners allowing their dogs relieving themselves wherever they wanted on very long extension leads, so doing so on the pitches. One lady even walked her dogs within a few feet at the rear of our caravan (I did have a word!) We did report a dog owner who had two large dogs off-lead allowing them to roam around the pitch area defecating. He only cleared up when he saw me. The site wardens need more signage posted around the site concerning the responsibilities of dog owners.....

Wonderful site!

Frequent visitors to Rookesbury Park and pleased to say that the new staff team here for ‘24 are carrying on the great work of the previous team! Site seemed very quiet compared to previous years but not surprising with the costs involved (not the site teams issue!). Highly recommend this place for a stay whateverbthe duration without WiFi as good as you’d like it!

Good Site

Brilliant site, really safe for children and families and with an excellent fenced off area for dogs to run off lead. Really impressed with the facilities, all nice and clean and well located. Sadly booking in was not very good, as a new member of the club, I was made to feel very stupid for not being able to produce my membership card, even though there is no wifi to the site, The chap was really quite abrasive, and despite being able to confirm my name, address etc, he insisted that I needed photo ID. I still have my paper licence and don't normally carry my passport with me! I offered my bank card (which would have matched your details) but was told it wasn't good enough, Sad that this was my first impression of the club, and that I am already thinking twice about anymore bookings or renewing my membership.

Wonderful site with a fantastic team

I spent two nights here with my two little dogs, touring the area to see a few historic sites and then attend the D-Day Commemoration in Portsmouth. It's a wonderful place. The dog walking area is huge, and there are poop bins everywhere, so a very dog friendly place. We had a perfectly level hard standing pitch. The loos and showers were spotless, the water nice and hot and the shower pressure was great. But like all club sites, the place is made by the team. We had a wonderful friendly welcome, and every interaction was positive and helpful. The only thing that needs improving is the wi-fi, which was hit and miss. I've been vanning for decades and only in the past 2-3 years have I come to kinda rely on wifi, so it's not a game changer. Overall, one of the best sites I've every visited. Thanks to the team there.

Only a one night stopover

Not stopped over to use the Portsmouth Ferries as a lot of members do, but still only stayed for the one night. Location is a bit off the beaten track in a forest location but access is fairly easy. The hairpin bend to the site entrance can be a bit tight but if taken slowly (speed limit is 10mph) it's okay. The welcome afforded me after a really arduous journey and arriving late was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The facilities are to the expected high C&MC standard. The weather was against me, with heavy downpours, during my short overnight stay so I wasn't able to take advantage of the forest surroundings, but I would imagine if the weather is good then this site will come into its own.

Fantastic site

Couldn’t fault this site, we stayed for 3 nights in our VW camper principally to do the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. Clearly signposted, super friendly welcome and very efficient check in. Facilities - toilets and showers especially - were spotless and staff clearly take pride in the site. Beautifully peaceful but so convenient for local attractions - definitely recommend the park and ride off M275 for dockyard it was so easy and cheap too. Fish and chip van on the Friday night was a nice treat. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again if down that neck of the woods.

Lovely site with very helpful wardens

We stayed here on a ferry pitch after arriving in Portsmouth from Santander with our caravan. Lovely well kept site. Even though the reception was shut the warden came over to great us and make sure we were OK. Will definitely be back for a longer stay.

Very convenient for a stop before or after a ferry crossing

We have stopped at Rookesbury Park on a number of occasions when taking the ferry to / from Spain. The site is spacious, the welcome great (as usual at Club sites) and the facilities are excellent. The only drawback is that WiFi is almost non-existent - at least at the sire we were on (which was one of the last ones before the exit and quite close to the office buildings). Facilities were top class.
