This was not our first stay at Rookesbury and we were still delighted with the site and all it had to offer. Close to Fareham and Wickham for shopping and of course the delights and interests that Portsmouth and Southampton offer. It was also chosen as we were celebrating a family members 95th birthday. The wardens were efficient, friendly and extremely helpful and after the wet late summer, were battling with worn out grass pitches, some of which had been withdrawn for re-seeding. It's those pesky groundsheets that are seemingly seldom if at all, lifted to give the grass an airing. In my humble opinion they should be banned from CC grass pitches and anyone using them should be "yellow carded". The two shower blocks were immaculate as usual on CC sites with plenty of amenities for all. We were close to the 'ferry pitches' but were not disturbed by early departures or late arrivals. The only issue I could comment on negatively are those members who choose to ignore the mid-day departure deadline and leave late making it very awkward for incoming outfits as passing places are somewhat lacking close to the site entrance from the road. There are ample warnings of this around the site so there is no excuse for these late leavers to rely on. Going off the road onto verges can be a major problem if there has been an amount of rain that softens them up. TV reception via the plug-in facility is fine and some areas can get an acceptable signal via a fitted arial. A good children's area provided plenty of exercise for our visiting great grand-children and it's away from the main site. Overall a very good site for peace and quiet and the seaports. Note; No bus services close to the site and Wickham is about a 2 mile walk on footpaths so transport probably necessary other than for the fit and young at heart.
