Morn Hill was perfect for our Fri/Sat stop over near Winchester. It's a wee gem of a sight, in perfect condition with very helpful and friendly wardens. Only a couple of miles off the M3 and in beautiful surroundings, we felt relaxed as soon as we arrived. We shall return.
Could be better.
We stayed at this site for the Bank Holiday weekend. The wardens are very friendly and helpful, and the site is kept to a high standard. The toilet / showers are very clean but could do with being updated. The only complaint, which was no fault of the wardens, was an irresponsible dog owner with four dogs. On two occasions that we witnessed the dogs were not kept on leads and allowed to poo and wee, one time on an awning. They didn’t do anything until I approached them to inform them that their dogs had got out. Also on arrival I also nearly ran over a dog as it also was not on a lead. Maybe it should be pointed out to members and non members that dogs should be on leads at all times when they arrive at the site.

Excellent Site
Having read previous reviews we were almost put off going to this site. Thank goodness we decided to make up our own minds from our own experience. The staff are helpful, friendly and were quick to offer any help needed when we had a medical emergency. The ablutions are kept spotlessly clean with plenty of hot water at a very good pressure and the disabled shower room was kept lovely and warm. We can't fault the facilities. The site is next to a dual carriageway on a roundabout so you can hear the vehicles but we were situated on the third level down and did not find this intrusive but then again we didn't spend our time looking for problems!! The aircraft noise is so minimal and lets face it, quick, that we had to really concentrate to notice the planes much to our disappointment being keen plane lovers. The site is kept clean with the usual caravan club attention to the pitches and the grass kept short. The site is ideally situated for visiting Winchester and The Beaulieu Motor Museum. We will definitely be back as we never made it to the Steam Train. Don't let others put you off trying this site, give it a go and make up your own minds. Loved the fish and chip van on a Friday too. Thanks to all.
Excellent stop over site on the way to the Isle of Wight
We stayed over one night on the way to the Isle of Wight. Excellent site, clean facilities and friendly staff. It is just off a roundabout and the signage could perhaps be a bit better as there are two roads close together and you need to pick the correct one. Also need to be aware that when you leave the site you join a road before you enter the roundabout. Unfortunately some of the road users seem to go very fast and so extra care is needed on the approach to the roundabout. With care access is OK.
One night only
We stayed here for only one night. We had problems with our mover and the wardens were really helpful in recommending we use a choice of sites that we could drive straight on to. Lovely cake from the reception. Facilities very clean and welcoming. Only problem, we had difficulty following the final directions and missed the turning. Will definitely go again.

Morn Hill
The last time we visited Morn Hill was some 12 years ago, so on this visit it was a pleasant surprise to see the site had been spruced up from what we remembered. Being adjacent to the A31, A272 and M3 the site is in a good location to allow visits to the local attractions, but don't let that make you think the site is noisy. The road noise can be heard more on some pitches than others but all in all is not too intrusive. I suppose if I had any criticisms at all it would be the positioning of the motor-home waste emptying point behind the main reception block and the low water pressure at the drinking water taps.
Our First Ever Trip
This was our first caravan outing ever and we had travelled just 15 miles to get the feel of things. We found the staff very helpful, the pitches firm and level and the toilet blocks clean and warm. We felt very comfortable here despite arriving on the windiest night of the year.
Seems like an ideal site for visiting Winchester or a on the way to the South Coast.
It is true there is not a lot you can really walk to from the location but don`t let that put you off.
Good base for visiting Winchester
A very pleasant grassy site on 3 levels near the top of a hill near to Winchester. The grass was firm and no problem for our motorhome in early March. Good facilities, tho' showers were a bit small with no seat, no mats. There is a regular (1/2 hourly) bus service to Winchester, takes 5 minutes, but last bus back is about 7pm. You could walk along the roadside path, or cycle, but it would be uphill nearly all the way back. The only place to eat in convenient walking distance is the Holiday Inn, the bar food was ok, but soulless atmosphere. Some reviewers found the site noisy, but we couldn’t hear the road or airplanes (windows were closed), but did find the nearby rookery noisy at dawn. Might be better at the far side of the site. Overall, an excellent site for exploring the fascinating city of Winchester.

Pleasant, Friendly Site
We've been to this site before & like it for it's regular bus service into Winchester. Had hoped the toilet block would've been upgraded by now but it is kept absolutely spotless & the water is piping hot. Unfortunately the showers in the top field were out of action on the first weekend of opening. We also made the mistake of pitching close to the busy main road but other parts of the site are peaceful. The Premier Inn across the road welcomes non residents to use their restaurants & bar, & the Science Park is just a 10 minute walk away & worth a visit. We will be back again.
