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.

Good for us

We often stay at Rookesbury as it is close to family. The hard working wardens gave us a warm welcome. The site and facilities are very well maintained. Due to family commitments we only used the site as a dormitory

One of the Best

Just had a short stay at Rookesbury, which is our local site, and one of the best in the network. Considering the appalling recent weather the new team at the site have done a great job to get up and running, and maintain the quality of this site. Hopefully the ground will have a spell of dry weather to enable grass pitches to be available when due. All in all well done

.......great site!! great staff/site team

We're frequent visitors to Rookesbury Park Club site (with family living close by). The site is what it is full - of abundant, natural beauty. Just left earlier this week after 4th or 5th visit of the year and we will be returning in 2024 for probably the same number (perhaps more). However, it's a little sad as the whole staff team will be in pastures new in 2024 which is a shame but change is inevitable (apparently!). Hopefully the replacements at Rookesbury will do a grand job keeping this forest site up to the high standards. Thanks for looking after us Paul, Libby, Sal & Steve supported by others but you guys have been the backbone as it were and perhaps we will pitch up near you again........ good look and enjoy a winter rest

GOOD FRIENDLY SITE

We visit Rookesbury quite regularly as it's convenient for visiting family. We never have any complaints, the site is well cared for in every area and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. We love the fact that the whole area is alive with wildlife, including loads of pheasants, rabbits, various birds etc. It's easy walking (providing the ground is reasonably dry) to The Roebuck pub and onwards on the disused railway line to Wickham, although do not attempt the long walk (approx 6 miles there and back) if you're not sure you can make it back as there are no buses to take you back (as we found out!). There is so much to do in this area too, Portsmouth is fascinating and it's definitely worth visiting the Mary Rose. Approach Portsmouth on the motorway and when you see the "sail" (you'll know when you see it) take the next exit. Follow the road and you will pick up the Park & Ride, very useful and it takes you right into Gun Wharf and the Spinnaker. Southampton and Winchester are also great days out. It feels as if you are really tucked away from the outside world at Rookesbury and once you're set up you'll be sorry to leave.

Good site with fantastic wardens

Good site which is convenient for the ferry port at Portsmouth. However, if you are arriving off the late ferry the lighting up the the very narrow lane to the site is non existent and maneuvering on to the ferry pitches in the darkness is difficult. The site is good with very clean and tidy facilities and extremely helpful and friendly wardens.
