“A Lovely Site in the Heart of the New Forest”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2011

person found this review helpful

We have just returned from this tourning/camping site and it was lovely. A really great check-in experience, very friendly staff, loads of information. After checking in (we were well over an hour early and they apologised to us for keeping us waiting for 5 minutes!) you are given a map to either a standard (no electric), premium (electric) or select (electric, large pitch & picnic bench) area and basically you pick where you want to pitch. Everyone during our stay were really friendly. The pitches are large and there are waste and water facilities within good distance of most.
We really enjoyed our stay here. You see lots of animals and walks/cycle rides are in abundance.
I believe from one of our neighbours that up until last year, this site was pretty horrendous, however the forestry commission kicked loads of stagnant vans off and the place really is a nice place to be.

“Back to nature”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 November 2006

This was our first trip to a campsite and one that has no facilities apart from electric hook ups and the cabin where you book in. There are lots of leaflets on the local area in the cabin.
It was a real pleasure to wake up in the morning to see the squirrels climbing in the trees and the birds singing from the comfort of your bed. This is a lovely site in the middle of a forest
very quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The couple who booked us in were very helpful to us greenhorns and advised that an old disused railway track ran right through the middle of the site.
Next morning saw us on the bikes and the track took us into
the outskirts of Brockenhurst. Very easy riding for a couple of 60 plus year olds who hadn't ridden bikes for years. In the evening we cycled to the Hotel in Sway for a really lovely meal.
A completely relaxing few days away from all the stresses life has to offer and we would certainly visit this site again. Sorry we did not take any photos
