Would have been 5* if the checking in had gone better

We booked this site through the Caravan Club which holds all our details as to the make, model and size of our Motorhome for a stop over on the way to Portsmouth Ferry. When we arrived a lady in reception told us off for bringing such a huge thing down their driveway and hoped we hadn't broken anything. She also then said she didn't think we could stay on their site because of our size. This was extremely frustrating as if we were too big surely the Caravan Club site wouldn't have allowed us to book. I had also received a call the previous day just checking we were still coming - if there were any queries they could have mentioned it then. We thought we were going to have to turn around after a very long journey until two VERY helpful young Gentleman came in and sorted the problem immediately. They were great, really friendly, chatty and apologetic. They showed us to our pitch, made sure we were OK and then left us to it. The pitch was easily big enough to accommodate us. We had a nice view over the Children's play area. There was a fish and chip van which turned up early evening which we used and it was lovely and cooked to order and good prices. We are booked to stay again in 6 weeks and would definitely use it again next year. Would have been 5* if the initial reception had been better.

Enjoyable week

Warm friendly welcome, cheerful hardworking staff. Site clean and tidy, very busy, the way the pitches are laid out lends to small spacious feeling. Great to walk and run from site. Good walking on the Downs as well as visiting Winchester and Chichester. On the down side two nights sleep disturbed by dogs barking at 4/5am, I am a dog owner! I've never seen dogs in the toilet cubicle next to mine either. Both downs are members rather than site which is a shame

great experience

As first time caravaners we decided to stay close to home for our first trip, so chose Rooksbury Park. What a great choice!! The site is beautiful and excellently maintained. It is also very peaceful. The site staff were extremely friendly and helpful, especially Paul, one of the wardens, without whose help we would have struggled to set up correctly. The on-site toilet and shower facilities were immaculate. We shall definitely return. Our stay was for 5 nights from 30 June 2016

bit dissapointed

We love the site, we have been before and will come again. We had a 6hr journey arrived at 11 40 but we were not allowed on site till 12 30.  45min wait at the barrier was not good. We then we're in 6 outfit race to find a pitch, did not find warden helpful. The showers etc were excellent, but the hot water in the south wash up area was only tepid, others taking their washing up back to their vans.

A good stop off from the Portsmouth Ferry

This site was only about 30 mins from the ferry port, so we arrived much sooner than we'd expected. One tip to future caravanners: make sure you book a ferry pitch if you're arriving or leaving outside office hours. Also, when you pitch in a ferry pitch, leave your car parked in front of the van, not at the side as on normal pitches. it was relatively easy to move onto the main site in the morning and the location of the site made travel to Brighton, Portsmouth and Hindhead easy. the dog walk was excellent too!

A relaxing break

Having stayed nearer to the New Forest and Bournemouth. On many occasions, we decided to give the Portsmouth side a visit. We chose Rookesbury Park mainly for it's convenient location, and we are very happy we did. It's a lovely site, very well maintained and lots of pitches scattered throughout so you didn't feel hemmed in and all in a line. As you would expect, the toilet and shower facilities were spotless and plentiful and the staff were friendly and helpful. It's a site that is definitely recommend by us both, top marks ??

Great weekend

We have been to Rookesbury a few times and have never been disappointed. The site has everything you want great play areas for children. plenty of dog walking woods and if you want to cycle you can without going on the road. The wardens are warm and friendly and the toilets and the nice hot showers are spotless. Rookesbury is ideal for everyone

Caravanning in the Park

Well managed site with spotless facilities. The setting is genuine parkland. Pitches are spacious with easy access. Some early morning, distant traffic noise but nothing intrusive. Radio, TV and Wi-Fi reception are excellent. Mobile signal varies according to where you stand ! Site is good overnight stop for ferry traffic heading to France or the Isle of Wight. Nearby Wickham is an attractive town with a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants. Fuel is also available. Plenty of pub/restaurants in local villages. Discounters and other supermarkets in Fareham. Portsmouth waterfront is a worth a visit. A27 is very busy at the beginning and end of the working day and worth avoiding if possible. The site is a good touring base or an excellent setting to relax, read, watch wildlife or just people watch. We will definitely return.
