Second Visit

This is a great site, staff are always very friendly and keep it beautifully clean. My only disappointment is the dog walking area. Last year on my visit we had lots of room and this year 2/3 of the dog walking area is given over to camping and parking for the camp site. Firstly the site has limited facilities and with all the addition tent space and no extra facilities. Secondly the club is called the Caravan Club not the caravan and camping club and my third comment is that the site is vacant at the moment so empty space earning no money!!! Please open up the dog walking area again and the site will be perfect.

First time

Just had our first visit here and it definitely won't be our last. Great site, friendly, clean and wardens were excellent. Plenty to do in the area, a walk to Wickham recommended. Plenty of wildlife to be seen and heard (especially the woodpecker!) Teenaged boys enjoyed Portsmouth, especially the naval Base and the dogs loved the walks around the site. Win win!!

1st outing of the year - lovely site

The Club is a business - members should be thankful that it is being managed. The Dog Exercise area is fine - even if reduced in size. The woodpeckers were busy - great to hear the 'laugh' of the Green Woodpecker. Our 3rd visit and we will be back.

Lovely site

Stayed on this Site for 1 night to take the stress out of catching the ferry to following day. Really lovely site, typical of caravan club sites. Clean, well kept, lovely pitches. Facilities excellent. Lovely play area for children. The wardens were really friendly and helpful. Lovely hearing the woodpeckers in the surrounding tress in the morning. You have to stick to arrival and departure times or you would get seriously stuck. Have to say, after reading other reviews, we were surprised by the size of the dog walk, it was huge! No complaints from us at all, would definately return.

Great Site.

Do follow club instructions on this one for arrival routing. Pitched on the single digit pitches, well drained despite considerable rain and the hill behind. Not as well protected as we thought from the wind, the site is deceiving. Ok so it was gusting 100mph, despite the apparent shelter it still rocked the van. The storm guys were a good idea. Trees blown down on site, one wardens shed flatten and some campers lost awnings. Be prepared and tie it down. Toilets, showers the site in general all good, so too the wardens. TV signal OK with usual built in van booster aerial. Wellies required for the dog walk area, else walk up the hill on the road out/in of the site. The forest walks and playgrounds a short walk away. The Roebuck Inn(PO175AY)great food, seriously fab value kids meals, excellent adults food, dogs welcome, 8minute drive. Southsea busy, but once there park in the D Day Museum car park rather than hunt about. Nothing to the East so walk west, Aquarium OK discount with flyers from campsite, didn't do the D Day museum, amusements OK. Marwell Zoo OK, watch for the donation on paying, bit cheeky before the days experience, train ride another £2 each. Food very expensive. Plenty of inside hide outs for picnics. Lots to see inside as well as out. Car park packed, but wasn't busy inside. Playgrounds disappointing. Site speed still an issue even when towing? No issues will return one day. Finally thanks to the fellow Vanner who help us on Sunday :)

Smaller Dog Walk

We have come back to our regular local sight, it was always the dog walk that pulled us here. Plus it was members only. To find on our first visit, of several already booked this year.... that it is now open to non members? Which is down to the fact they have cut the dog walk down in size to allow for tents..... hence this members only caravan site had to open its doors to non members. Maybe it's worth thinking about cancelling membership if this is how they respect their members... Maybe time to find another site or try independent sites like tranquil.

Peace & Quiet

This is our second visit to this wonderful site. As a Motorhomer with a dog this site ticks all the boxes. Great dog walks in the forest and easy to visit lots of places with the motorhome. Facilities spotless and although the beginning of the season it was still quite busy but you never felt as if it was. Very tranquil and as always the staff were wonderful and friendly. We will be back!

Quiet and Secluded

I have been to this site a number of times and love it. Even when it's busy it is so quiet. Lovely listening to the birds with plenty of scope for dog walking. The site is always kept well; clean and safe, the pitches are well set and grass always neat and cut. The staff are friendly and helpful. Good playing field for the children and the shower/toilet/cleaning facilities are excellent. The only gripe I have is the introduction of TENTS. What is that all about? Caravan club? The dog walking area has been reduced to accommodate them and their cars?! And, of course, because of them there will be an impact to the use of showers/toilets. Such a beautiful site which is handy for me and which I have used a lot. If it were not for the tents I would give this site a 10/10.
