A little piece of Heaven !

Fabulous stay, perfect location, accessible for Portsmouth and the surrounding area whilst the site is away from any noise. A beautiful site, grounds very well maintained with spotless facilities and in addition has a very sociable dog walking area ! As for the wardens, happy, very helpful, approachable and kind - They were the icing on the cake !

Another Caravan Club gem

Just returned from a 3 night stay and what an excellent site - great location, very peaceful, exceptionally clean toilet block (at all times - and being the newer block, a good supply / water pressure with more space and hooks in the showers). Very helpful and friendly wardens - everything about the site brilliant, thank you and we would definitely recommend and will be returning.

Fantastic site

A fantastic site, great location and surroundings. Although only around 1 hr or so from home we have never stayed here before, but found it perfect. Great for a mini break to get away from it all. Loads to do in area. A big site but still quiet, clean and well looked after. Great for families and coupkes alike. Really felt you could get away from it all. Wardens friendly and work hard. Will definitely be back soon.

A very welcoming one night stay

This year we had a very pleasant & warm welcome from the wardens. This was such a pleasant change from the last 2 years when staying overnight for the ferry. Two years ago we were told that as we were catching the morning ferry the gates would be locked & we’d miss it. Luckily she relented. She said we should have stayed at the port overnight. Last year we were catching an afternoon ferry, but the same lady still threatened us with missing the ferry. That time she assumed we wanted the early one! Enough of that, but it made such a difference this year, so thank you wardens. The site is a superb one & we have visited many times, both to catch the ferry & for a longer holiday. Everything is top notch and we love going on a grass pitch here.

A brilliant site with wonderful wardens

Despite living in Hampshire we only found this site by accident whilst out in the car but once we had a look round & spoke to the wardens we immediately came home to join the club. It is so peaceful & surrounded by woodland that you could be miles from anywhere instead of this close to Southampton & Portsmouth. The facilities are kept spotlessly clean & are very well maintained. The wardens are very friendly & helpful but despite being permenantly very busy they always have time for you. Our dog thoroughly enjoys the large, secure dog field where he can run freely. We have now enjoyed 4 short visits this season & fully intend to return at the earliest opportunity.

A Good 'all rounder' site

This was the 3rd or 4th time we have stayed at Rookesbury Park, on this occasion we were meeting up with friends in their outfit for the bank holiday weekend. We both arrived at a similar time on Friday where even though there was a queue to book in the wardens dealt with everyone very efficiency, explaining about not letting the dogs off their leads in certain areas because of pheasant shooting. The dog walk area is great, enough space for everyone without causing any problems. The tent area looked very well maintained with short grass & nearby parking for those under canvas. The weather was glorious even though on one night we had a fantastic lightning show where the sky was lit up! The rain soon moved on & we were left with another fantastic day of sitting watching the world go by. We purchased one of the walks available from the office & took a leisurely stroll through the forest to the Roebuck inn for a well deserved G&T! The wardens were all extremely approachable, the office was fully stocked with the usual bits & pieces but with the added luxury of freshly cooked baguettes & croissants (ordered the night before). The toilet blocks etc. were up to the excellent standard that we have come to expect from the caravan club. It was half term so at a site like this you do expect families, there is a big play area for children so they didn't disturb us too much. Even though it is a big site & I expect it was nearly full or full, you didn't get the feeing of being over crowded. Plenty of places of interest to visit in the area so never a dull moment! Well done wardens the site was a credit to you all & your hard work.

1st time here.

This was our first visit to this site, and what a joy. We were badly in need of a break and some peace and quiet, which was exactly what we got. The site is beautiful, spacious and well laid out but never felt overcrowded. We were able to get into Portsmouth quite easily, and there is so much to see and do there, with enough variety to cater for all tastes. Being recent converts to a motorhome after owning a caravan for many years, parking can be an issue, so help from the wardens is always much appreciated. However, it would appear that the wardens at this site were all new to the area, so info was a little sketchy, with no info on whether there were height barriers at the Park'n Ride. A phone call to Portsmouth Borough Council informed us that there are height barriers at all their car parks, so on road parking is the only option. We had no trouble finding space and would recommend St. Georges Square, but in high season, I could see this being a problem. We only stayed a few days before moving on the Isle of Wight, but would definitely return to this beautiful site for a longer stay.

Great Site in a Fantastic Location Ideal for all

Rookesbury is located in Very quiet area of forest well laid out & beautifully maintained by the hard working sites team. Portsmouth Historic dockyard HMS Victory, Mary Rose & HMS Warrior all worth a visit & a ticket is valid for a year. Gun Wharf Quays for outlet shopping, Spinnaker tower, Day trip to the Isle of Wight. Fort Nelson free admission also. Those who like a steam train the Watercress line is also a good visit. Pitches on site are large & Toilet blocks are very clean Large dog field to let them run & enjoy + forest walks next door all in all great site

Fantastic site - superb facllities

We chose Rookesbury for our first outing of the season because it's pretty local to our caravan storage. We're new to the Caravan & Motorhome Club and were very pleased with the friendly and helpful greeting when we arrived. The site is spacious, clean and nicely laid out with an excellent play area. It's also very dog friendly which is very welcome. Pride of place, aside from the great staff, goes to the facilities with both blocks being superb. Clean and sensibly laid out with excellent showers. A great location for the south coast including the Palmerston Forts (Fort Nelson is a Royal Armouries site and is free), Portchester Castle and beaches. This is now our site of choice for quick weekend getaways.
