Returned for a weeks stay after five years and have been many times before - the site has a great location for walking to Wickham, walking in the forest next door,visiting Portsmouth to name but a few things - not forgetting the excellent fish & chips on Friday night from visiting mobile chippy. The wardens are doing an excellent job in this current climate and are very friendly and helpful. So where is the problem ?... Tents. On arriving at lunchtime on a lovely Friday took dog onto what was an excellent field, it has now been downsized to accommodate tents.. Apparently there are also electric pitches available as well (these were caravan pitches). The "campers" that arrived in two tents were noisy, left litter everywhere in the field,the children ran riot throughout the site,leaving the toilets in a disgusting state, drinking from the freshwater taps used by caravaners and at one point when exercising the dog noticed one of the children going to the toilet in the bushes in the camping field - apparently not the first time. Thank goodness that party left Sunday lunchtime but it made for a very unpleasant atmosphere whilst they were there. Many other caravaners we spoke to are unhappy at the fact there are now allowing tents, whilst we understand not all campers are like that - in fact felt sorry for the other campers in the field ( we used to camp ourselves) it puts extra strain on the wardens and the facilities. So a lovely site spoilt by allowing tents - there are plenty of Affiliated sites in the club that already offer camping, there are also commercial sites were families could meet or even the "other" club with camping in the name! - please don't spoil ours. Will we return? probably not unless we go in the rain - there won't be tents then!!
