We have just returned from a long weekend in one of the Oak lodges and were very impressed with the site and the lodge which was well equipped and very clean. Our young children (6 4 and 1) thouroughly enjoyed it, especially the river walk and the adventure playground. We'd go again. More

We stayed in a "Hazel" lodge for a midweek break and were very impressed with the standard of accommodation, which was spotless and comfortable. The lodges had their own small private gardens, complete with picnic table and barbecue. The grounds were well maintained, litter-free, and clearly thought had been given to the lay-out. We were there just after Easter and... More

The gravel pich was ample size for our van and tent/awning, the fields were immaculately kept, and the shower block and sink facilities very clean and more than... More

Very nice location in new forest. We stayed in a pine lodge that was very well appointed with a nice roomy lounge and kitchen area, we found the bedrooms a tad on the small side but we were at maximum capacity and a baby along with the gear that goes with it. We would not recommend the Italian on site... More

As a family we have been visiting Sandy balls for twenty years now. Up until now I have never had a negative thing to say about the site, lodges have been lovely, scenery beautiful and on site facilities fantastic. It is because of these previous visits that I am now sadly disappointed in what I encountered on my recent stay... More

We've been going for the last ten years and never tire of it. The location is superb; particularly the walk down to the river and of course the New Forest itself and all the attractions it holds. The lodges are the best (of course), the caravans are good value (particularly off peak) and the camping is fine, particularly in the... More

Just back from Sandy Balls. My partner and our two year old daughter have had a nice stay in a lodge. We liked the very clean and quiet swimming pool and went for a bike ride. Our accommodation was clean too and well equipped with cooking utensils and pots. There are lots of indoor and outdoor playing areas for kids.... More
