Lovely, quiet, and clean well kept site.

A tucked away site, which seems well known and came well recommend to us. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the site is very well kept and the facilities are even cleaner. Limited as to what you can do on site, as there is no community area, or gathering place, which is a shame, however, this doesn't detract from the overall site. Lovely walks with the dog in the attached 100 acre woods, and all in all if you want a little bit of R&R a great place to start. Very relaxed, and we will go back.

Peace & quiet despite being in easy travel to the motorway network

We only stayed for one night at the end of May en route to the cross channel ferry. We didn't use the ferry pitches as we made full use of our early arrival and late departure to spend some relaxing time both on the site and surrounding areas. Facilities were excellent with pitches well laid out to make the most of the natural features on the site. Toilets, showers and washing up areas were spotlessly clean with plenty of hot weather. Albeit a short stay this time we were suitably impressed with the site and surrounding area we shall be back to Rookesbury Park for a longer stay next time.

Ferry pitches are the solution to late night and early morning ferries

Stayed here last week after coming off the late ferry from Ouistreham. Did not get into the site until 10.45 but everything on the ferry pitches was set up and it was really easy. Site is massive and so it is never going to be that peaceful but absolutely spot on for the late night and early morning arrival and departures.

Poor Experience

Having stayed on this site one night we decided to book another night to spend more time around Portsmouth and there are few other sites to choose from in the area. On our way out the next morning I called into the office and reserved a specific pitch, paid for it and took away the barrier key for that pitch. Then went out for the day in good faith expecting the pitch to be available when we returned around 5. However it had been taken by someone else. Obviously I went to the office to find out what was going on and was given very short shrift by the lady who I had booked with in the morning and the male warden. Despite taking the key on the morning and paying up they said they assumed we wouldn’t be returning as no pitch marker was left. Very terse, very much “our fault” and not prepared to budge an inch. I asked for a refund as we decided we’d drive home but this was also refused as the rude male warden said we had paid for a pitch and one was available. He could certainly do with some customer care training and this site needs to shape up on it’s organisation, flexible attitude and efficiency. What sharp contrast to the fabulous site we had just stayed on at Southland on the Isle of Wight. Pleasant, friendly, nothing too much trouble. We extended our stay twice and they put a reserved pitch marker out for us immediately. If only all sites maintained the same high standards...........

Hot June 2018

Very well run caravan site, the shady walks in the forest a welcome retreat from the scorching sun. The wardens very friendly and helpful, working very hard keeping the site immaculate. Short drive into Wickham or able to walk through the forest crossing the main road before returning to a quiet countryside walk once again. The dog walk has been halved in size to give way to tent pitches but the dog walk remains large; our dogs enjoyed being sociable and running around the dog walk. Chip van visits once a week, it would be good twice a week?

A large and busy site, ideal location

We stayed for four nights and enjoyed the site and the area, especially Portsmouth Docks. The site is larger and busier that we are normally used to but we chose the site for the location. The site and facilities were clean and adequate to the Clubs usual standards

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.
