We have stayed here before but with our grandchildren and enjoyed it far more on our own. It is a smallish, well run site and paying for your electric as you use it, really works. The shower and toilet facilities are fabulous and the shop has everything you could think of. The only draw back is nothing to do with the site, but the narrow lanes around it meant cycling was a bit hairy, with motorised vehicles whizzing by you, we enjoy cycling while we're away.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Julie. If you can drive with your bikes about 10 minutes, there are miles and miles of fantastic tracks around the forest that are completely vehicle free and a delight to cycle.
Great stay

Me and my wife decided to try this site because we wanted a last minute weekend away with our 2 year old, we thought everything about the site was great. Well signposted, all the info you could ever need is sign posted nearly everywhere, the on site Thai restaurant was delicious and worth the money. The shop has pretty much everything for adults and kids. The dog walk trail passed the lakes and fields is great as there is horses and sheep that come up and chat to you. The workers for the stud farm next door were kind enough to let our daughter get closer to the foals. Nearby Fordingbridge and Damerham are lovely days out and also a visit to Rockford Common is a must. Was a really memorable weekend and will try and make it our regular staycation. Only point my wife made was that there were no mirrors in the showers for doing make up etc, but then there is some in the toilets so maybe she should man up 😂

We trialled camping with the kids and chose the New Forest as it was close to home. The site was an absolute gem. Lovely location, staff were super helpful, great pitch with lots of space and all up along the hedge so there was lots of space for the kids to run around and play a game of cricket. The facilities were lovely, warm clean showers and toilets a nice little park area and a Thai restaurant on site. We will definitely be back.

Very clean and well maintained site that has obviously had a lot of thought and investment put into it. The facilities all look new and fresh, the showers, being hot and powerful, were very good. We also had a couple of takeaways from the onsite Thai that were spot on and all the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. Being a technophobe I was a bit irritated when I first made the booking at the number of emails and the setting up process involved, but when we got to the site, I could see the reasoning behind it and how well it worked and forgave all. If we visit the area again I would check availability here first before bothering to search elsewhere. It's a quality site that has everything we want at a reasonable price.

Very well equipped and maintained place. The Thai restaurant and takeaway onsite is great and good value. The hedgerows are lovely and full of birds. I would have also preferred more trees around the actual pitches to make the place more special and to give shade in the summer. Staff are very nice when you meet them. Good for couples mid week and families at the weekend. Electricity is separate but there is an admin fee for any unused, so put under rather than over on initially, it's simple to monitor and top up online. Photo is looking back at the site from the far side of the paddock as you walk into the woods towards the village.

Our first time out in our old bongo was to this lovely gem of a campsite. Beautiful surroundings made it very easy to relax and unwind. Easy check in and well signed, which made it simple to locate our pitch. Very clean and well maintained. Not cramped and had plenty of room. Toilets and showers were clean and a pleasure to use. Good washing up facilities and also a washing machine and tumble dryer to use at a small cost. The on-site shop has a limited stock but has some essentials. The Thai restaurant on site served a great number and variety of Thai dishes at a very affordable price. Lovely tasting food. Overall, we would highly recommend this site.

Great well looked after site with loads of space. Toilets and showers were great, hot water in sinks could have been hotter for shaving. Only down fall was cost of energy. Only boiled a kettle a couple of times a day and ran fridge and tv for 2 hours a day paid nearly £3 a day.

Thank you for an excellent 4 nights. This is a very well run site and the facilities were great, the staff were friendly and accommodating. A dog friendly site - they enjoyed it too! We had a nice Thai takeaway away on Thursday from the on site restaurant, I would highly recommend this site to anyone, thanks again.

We arrived at the park after some difficulty, as the road was closed and the deviation was miles and miles away. Some people had received an email about the road closure but unfortunately, we hadn't, so we spent precious time trying to find a way through. Pitch was perfect, just opposite the toilet block which I had requested. Facilities were excellent. Just one small point - in the family room, which was equipped for disabled use, there was no rail on the wall by the shower, although a stool was supplied. Also, there was no facility to dry your hands after using the toilet. We used the take away facility from the Thai restaurant which was excellent. Staff were polite and friendly.
Lovely campsite.

The campsite is on the Hampshire/Dorset border. So loads of places to go and see nearby, and a short drive to lots of beaches and the New Forest. The campsite is very quiet and the toilet and shower areas were clean and tidy and cleaned regularly. There are only 4 showers available for all in the camping area. We camped during a relatively quiet period so had no issue with availability, but may be an issue during busy times.
Lovely quiet place to stay

Lovely quiet place to stay for access to the New Forest and beaches. Great campsite. The pitches are a good size and although it was very quiet when we stayed, we can't imagine it would ever feel like you were crammed in. The toilets and showers were very clean. Our only issue was the water in the showers went off a little too quickly (within 10 seconds). I get the need to conserve water, but it made washing my daughters hair impossible. This is only a minor niggle/personal preference and the rest of the site and facilities more than make up for it. We were in a campervan and put £2 on the electric, but did not use it all, so we would recommend only putting a £1 at the most to start with. We also went to the Thai Kitchen. The service was a bit slow but the food was fabulous. Overall, it was a lovely place to stay and we would recommend.
Great site, can't go wrong

Nicely located near to the local sites and places of interest and close to shops, if you need to get a few things. It was cheap and easy to book and all automated, so no queueing up anywhere to get in or out. Pitches were massive, so no problem parking next to the tent. The toilet block with showers and washing areas etc were large and clean and the onsite restaurant was nice and the food was nice at a reasonable price. All in all, an excellent site with good facilities, easy to book, well managed and at a good price.

Brilliant dog friendly campsite. First time bringing our puppy camping and it was an ideal location and site. Showers and toilets were always clean and the on site Thai restaurant was great. Only thing missing is a place to wash off a muddy dog!

Nice little find at last minute, very pleased with the cleanliness of showers and toilets. Very quiet, mid week break and in easy reach of several nice places to visit. Excellent Thai restaurant and takeaway on site and would definitely recommend. Only downside was a fellow camper who obviously didn't pay for electricity and decided to keep his car running while his phone charged, which was a bit annoying, as this happened for most of the day, but no fault of the site, these things happen, and would definitely stay again.
Lovely site - will certainly return

Just returned from a wonderful 4 night stay. The camp site and facilities are lovely. The pitches are a great size and many have hedges surrounding them for that extra bit of privacy. The site is well maintained and the facilities were spotless whatever time of day you used them. There is a useful shop on site with lots of bits and pieces. There is a Thai eat in / take away on site on certain evenings which is ideal if you don't feel like cooking. Nice dog walk on site and you can also walk through a wooded area to the village which is about 15 mins away. Friendly, helpful staff. Will certainly be back.

During our stay we found all the staff very helpful and friendly. The pitches are very large, we got our large tent and two cars on ours. All the facilities were spotless. Having the freezer and washing machine available was a great bonus. You must not miss the Thai restaurant, the food is fantastic. We would gladly stay there again.
Happy campers

A beautiful, peaceful site. Spacious, well tended pitches. Birdsong to lull you to sleep and greet you in the morning. The on-site Thai restaurant & takeaway serves delicious food. Friendly staff and small onsite shop. A village with Co-op and pub within walking distance. Larger shops, amenities and beaches a short drive away.

Great park. Loved the idea of pay as you go electric, only used just under £10 in VC 4 days that's including charging a mobility scooter. Toilets and showers are very clean. Would definitely recommend this park.

Lovely park, would be nice if you could get every day food in the restaurant.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Angela. The on site Thai restaurant is not licenced, but many guests appreciate being able to bring their own wine and beer. There is a pub in the village which you can walk to in 15-20 minutes.
