This is a spacious, beautiful site with excellent very clean facilities. We have used the site many times, both before and after using the Portsmouth ferry, as well as for a few days to explore the area. We used it this time before catching an afternoon ferry. That is fine. If you are catching an early morning ferry and have managed to book one of the 7 ferry pitches that is also fine. If there were no ferry pitches available when you booked and you booked an ordinary pitch, not so fine. They say they won't lift the barrier for you to leave and chances are you'd miss the ferry. I know this because last year we did just that. We were told we could have slept at the port - there were lots of empty pitches!! In the end they agreed to lift the barrier earlier. The booking page does not make this clear so I fear there will be many people caught out by this. Beware! And don't think it makes any difference that you booked your whole holiday through he club - ferry,sites and insurance.
