A very pleasant site with good views over the fields to the south. There is bus stop 100 yards away, making a visit to Winchester very easy. The site is very clean, tidy and has excellent facilities for waste disposal. However, the fresh water tap is very slow and the low amperage electricity annoying, as only one appliance at a time can be run. We had a lot of rain during our visit and elected to park our motorhome on the gravel, which was a good decision.
There is a Coop, pharmacy and a couple of pubs in walking distance and we can recommend The Brambridge Arms.
We stayed on a Friday night and there was constant loud noise from some sort of outdoor music event, so beware of that if you decide to book. If we were to be in the area again we would revisit, but not on a Friday night!
Really wanted to keep secret!
We really dont want to leave a review as we want to keep it a secret as such a gem of a site. Have been to this CL many times and look forward to returning everytime. The site is level and well maintained, it is clean and overlooks countryside. We have stayed in the spring where upon most sites have been shut due to flooding, but we have been on hard standing with an awning here. In the summer we have been on grass, and the picnic benches are a bonus. Electric points, and facilities are good, well maintained and clean. Dogs are also allowed on leads and there is a big park not too far or a little walk off site to exercise them. Local attractions are easy to reach of Winchester and Southampton, and a few National Trust properties are easy to reach. I would have no hesitation recommending this site for both the owners welcoming hospitality, the location and the CL itself.
Oh yes and easy access to the ferry terminals for the Isle of Wight.
Local shops are Co-op - walkable
Local Pubs Bambridge Arms - walkable

Good CL, Handy for Winchester
The approach is deceptive as you enter a residential area and turn into the front drive of a private house. Once through the gates into the field, though, the view opens up onto outbuildings, paddocks and trees.
The site is well maintained, with mown grass, plentiful EHU points, picnic tables and a tidy area for black and grey waste disposal, bins and drinking water. Although the facilities are basic, this is reflected in a reasonable price. The owners are friendly and the locality pleasant enough, if unremarkable.
All in all, everything was perfectly satisfactory without leaving any lasting impression.

Nice CL
Warm welcome and very easy access. It was very wet but we parked on a nice flat hard standing overlooking the horse field. The owner was very accommodating as we booked lastFacilities extremely clean and well organised. Gate locked overnight. Some road noise and occasional aircraft but didn't bother us. Local Co-op in walking distance. We only stayed one night so didn't check out pub or takeaway. Very reasonably priced. We will return.

Lovely stay on way home from Devon and Cornwall.
Stayed for 3 nights on our return from touring Devon and Cornwall as really convenient stopping point on our journey back to Essex as so close to the motorway. The CL is accessed from the main road with lots of houses and it looks like you are just driving into someones drive, but when you drive in you come out into a lovely big field overlooking fields with its own pony. Large pitches divided by posts so easy to drive in and position your caravan and awning. NB site gate is locked at night (10pm) so do let the owner know if you are leaving or arriving early/late.
Cycled down to the Miller and Carter (5mins) on our first night, where we had a lovely cider overlooking the lake watching the swans and ducks. Visited Montifont (NT) and cycled through the forest to Toby carvery (unfortunately no walk-ins anymore, so you need to book) and we ended up with a Meal deal from Tesco Express.

we received a very warm welcome from the owners who immediately showed us where everything was and made sure that we were comfortable
We had a very enjoyable 4 nights at this site, Barry and his wife gave us a very warm welcome and made sure we knew were everything was, the bus stop is a few yards away from the entrance to the site for a bus into Winchester or Eastleigh.
the view is over open fields and the site is very quiet and extremely clean it is half a mile to the shops and pub.
The perfect CL
From our arrival till we left two days later our weekend was peaceful and most enjoyable. Each of the five grass pitches was clearly marked with generous space in each one. Water and all facililities were clearly marked and Covid rules clearly shown. Mr and Mrs Ansell were most friendly and welcoming and the views were lovely. Hardstanding pitches are available in inclement weather. A good location with a bus stop 100 yards from the CL on a main route from Winchester to Fareman. Conveniently situated for interesting locations within easy reach. We will certainly return to this location again.

A lovely peaceful site in a tranquil location, but close to Winchester for exploring the city. Great walks from the site, very warm welcome and excellent facilities. Sadly we were only able to stay one night, but would love to return for a longer stay.
