VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Camping Pitches (Pet Free)May 2023

We picked this site for being in reasonable proximity to our rental return point and weren’t disappointed. It was good to try an off grid plot and this was in the best part of the campsite - a lightly wooded area at the back close to the small lake around which there was a mowed path. The name implies it is a long way from anything; however it is just off the A31 and quite close to Bournemouth airport so was noisier than expected, although there was no intrusive noise during the night. The on-site bar would be a draw as it is not in easy walking distance of a pub. The facilities were great, particularly the continuous showers and lovely hot water and all very clean. All the instructions were clear and detailed. Thank you

A very comfortable site with excellent facilities. The pitch was spacious and well kept. Clean showers and toilets and at least one block always open. A nice bar area. Good food options with the visiting food vans. Fantastic woodland area for walking dogs off lead directly from the campsite. Would definitely visit again.

We were looking for a dog-friendly and adult-only campsite and Back of Beyond was only 40 mins from our home. It was nice and quiet, and just what we were looking for.

Lovely site just off A31 but far enough away to be free of road noise, maybe the odd motorbike in the distance. Wonderful dog secure woods as part of the site. Will definitely return and have already recommended.

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Camping Pitches (Pet Friendly)Apr 2023

A very well thought out campsite. We felt welcomed from the time of booking until we left this morning. The location is perfect for visiting the South Coast, or in our case overnighting before catching the car ferry to Jersey today. We enjoyed Montys Bar for a drink and the fish and chip van is a great idea. The amenities block was very clean, warm and well-appointed. The setting for all the various pitches and the shepherd's huts and yurts is well thought out and carefully landscaped. The wilded areas are lovely for a walk. The bird life all around the campsite is lovely. The whole place is clean tidy and quiet. Great that this is an adult-only, dog-friendly site. We will definitely visit again.

Very nice site and staff, but for us, we would look for sites closer to villages/ towns.

Camping Pod - Large Pods (Pet Free)Mar 2023

We stayed in Magpie Pod and it was very warm and cosy. The cooking facilities were really good, with two high-powered gas stoves, and the pod was equipped with a kettle, tea, coffee etc. The grounds are lovely and quiet, with surrounding woodland and fields. (Some very, very low-level noise from the road) otherwise, the park itself is nice and quiet. The shop is well stocked, as is Monty's bar! The showers and wash-up facilities are so clean and modern, one of the best we have experienced. The location is close to the main road, which takes you out to the nearby towns/villages. Approximately 15mins from the New Forest, so it's a great base to explore from. We would definitely stay again!

Thank you Anna for the lovely review and your recommendation. We are so glad you will be returning and we will look forward to seeing you here in the near future.

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitches (Gravel)Aug 2022

Lovely caravan park just off the A31. We had a nice gravel pitch with some grass - absolutely huge pitch which was great. Facilities were good, good amount of showers and toilets, generally well cleaned. Good washing up facilities and great that they had a big ice block freezer. Little shop there very handy, but expensive as you'd expect. Loved the fact that different food vans came each night, we tried a few of these. We only had our van and no car, the camp site was about half a mile from the road and then to walk anywhere was a walk along the busy A31 (path) which with a dog, wasn't the best. That was the only big downside we had with the park really, the lack of nice paths to places, we don't mind walking but not along the main roads too much. We ended up taking the van out a couple of times to go to the supermarket etc as didn't want to do the main road to walk. We loved the private camp woodland area to walk the dog. The lake (more like big pond haha) was a sweet area but only went once as no dogs were allowed. Overall this is a lovely campsite if you don't want to head off the site much, or if you're happy to walk along the main road.

Site's response

Thank you Gemma for the review and your recommendation. We are pleased to see you will come back. The shop is a campsite shop for essentials and also for gifts. We won't compete with Lidl, but only a small increase does mean you don't need to drive off the park for a pint of milk and some bread rolls. Did you not go to Hurn Forest opposite the park that isn't along the A31? There are free maps at reception taking you on 3 walks that don't go on the main road. We are also having a bridge reinstated soon that will take you straight onto the Castleman walkway from the park woodlands. I hope this will tick all your boxes then.

Fabulous place

Small Tent - Electric Astroturf PitchesAug 2022

This site was honestly the best site we've ever stayed in. It was so clean, the staff were super and genuinely friendly, and the pitches were well laid out as were the showers and toilets. The food vans and bar were fabulous. Everything was accessible and well manicured. It was our first holiday in 2 years and I honestly can't wait to go back. I will recommend it to everyone even though part of me doesn't want to as I'd like to keep it a secret! It was truly one of the best places I've been to apart from Mauritius and that's saying something, they deserve any award going.

Site's response

Thank you so much. To be mentioned in the same review as Mauritius is certainly a first. Do come again soon.
