Nice CL
The Covert
Nice CL, we only stayed 2 nights before catching the ferry to IOW, no one available to greet us or point us in the direction of our pitch. No rubbish bins on site, we found out from others on the site that the bins were across the road. Quite a busy road to walk to the town and would not use it after dark, very fast traffic. Payment was made by depositing the money in a letterbox on the site, we didn't actually meet Ann the manager but easy enough to pay etc. Would stay again .

Pleasant site
The Covert
Stayed here a couple of weeks ago. Pleasant site, quite spacious, handy for mainland towns. It would be useful if there was a bin for rubbish on site to avoid crossing the busy road which runs alongside. There is a blind bend there and cars just whizz around it, I had a very narrow miss. One of those traffic mirrors strategically placed would be helpful and I asked about this to be told that those using the stables were the worst and wouldn't use it,missing the point that those leaving the site would! The road is certainly not safe to walk along, particularly with a dog, although there is an adjacent section of the site which is fine as long as you clean up then cross THAT road to dispose of it. Would we stay again? Yes when revisiting friends.
lovely quiet country site but near major towns & Portsmouth
The CovertI have used Mr Camp's sites on Hayling many times and have always thoroughly enjoyed our stays. The Covert is situated immediately opposite Lower Tye Farm CL also part of Mr Camps estate - although now since he died they all run by his Executors & Ann the manager. I'm surprised that 1 reviewer said it was noisy as I've always found it very peaceful with only occassional traffic passing by. As others have mentioned - there is fresh water & chemical emptying on site but rubbish has to be taken over to Lower Tye Farm where there is a big bin + also a toilet with hot & cold water. These sites are not luxurious - but then they are working farm / stable sites so you know what to expect. The entrance is set back so you need to drive slowly along the copse lane (as you should anyway on country lanes) so you don't miss it. As also been said you need to go to the site office over the road next to the farm house to pay & for help / info. Only once did I find that there were more than the alloted 5 vans - on that day I discovered that 1 was leaving later that day & the other had arrived & set them selves up without prior booking so not the site owners fault. It obviously is only sensible to at least phone the site 1st & make a booking (as I always do) to ensure that they can fit you in.
Spoilt by Greed
The Covert
Pretty much the same as "Such a Shame" except it hadn't rained so the site was bone dry (good). However, the visit was spoiled by there being 7 vans/motor-homes in attendance, although there was still plenty of room it should not happen.
stayed for 7 nights beginning of July 2014
such a shame
The Covert
Arrived onsite Friday evening and was pleased we did a quick search and look prior to our arrival as site entrance is on a corner and gate set back enough for a car and caravan to pull in off the road (this is a good thing) but unfortunately if you blink you miss it and there are no turning g points for a car and caravan to turn around on the winding country road.
Once on the field we were quite discouraged as most of the field was a quagmire and although we have had large downpours on Friday it has been very dry and warm on the south coast.
The field is also backing onto what I would call a very busy road (we were about 10ft away from the road) although when in the caravan the noise did not bother us but on Saturday it was most annoying when sat outside.
There was no warm welcome or even site of the owners during our 3 night stay. We found that the site is managed by a company over the road.
The facilities do fresh water and CDP are good but nothing for grey waste (we ended up putting our down the bushes at the end of the field by the road) there was no faculty for recycling rubbish and to dispose of your rubbish is over the road and on another site, we ended up taking our rubbish home as the bin was over flowing when we tried to dump ours.
All of these negative points being said it is a £10 a night site which is very good value for money.
There are two main local pubs which serves food, we had our Sunday lunch in Yes Tree which I must say was very nice.
