Just to begin, the images of the site are all out of date, the lovely grass areas shown have now been converted at huge expense to hard standings. Apparently spent £5 million on the site but not yet managed to update the pics.
Booked the site as we have stayed before on the lovely grass area on the lower part of the site which the images still show on this web site, but these are now hard standings and the grass area at the top of the site is the worst I've seen on a CC site.
Grass uncut, looks like no one can be bothered with the grass area.
Lots of areas with worn out grass with bare patches but seems no one bothers to repair them.
I suspect this will be referred to as politically correct 're wilding' which we all know by celeb gardieers doesn't have any benefit, so the grass area just looks tatty and unkempt.
If you are booking on the hardstanding then the site looks very nice.
Noise from the formula one track ( main rd and roundabout) can be very bad, cars and motor bikes being raced around the roundabout until the early hours doing constant skids and dougnuts.
Shame the industrial estate huge gas tanks exposed in the centre of the grass area cant be disguised with fencing.
Great access to Winchester if you can drive and park, but walk is long and as far as I could tell on the pavement of a busy main rd. Maybe I missed a better route.
I wont be using the site again as there is a small private site in Alresford which I believe is cheaper and where the grass is green and cut and 5 mins walk into the centre of the town.
