Must book in at Orkney first
Recommends site
A lovely spot and was our first visit.
The gate was open so we drove straight in and thought it was strange that there wasn't a reception. It wasn't until the following day when someone came round and asked for our pass and we explained that we didn't have one, that we were told we should've booked in at Orkney first. We were left feeling very embarrassed as we hadn't followed the rules. There was no mention of this on the website or on the booking confirmation
Loved it
Recommends site
Really loved staying at this campsite. We originally booked for four nights but extended by another two to six. There was plenty of space to pitch, either in shade, part or full sun. There are plenty of water / CD points around the site and are all clean and tidy.
Horses, with foals, grazed on the grass three of the six mornings we were there. There are great walks on the moors or in the forest. The area is fantastic for cycling, with many gravel trails or quiet roads with very few pot holes. Or if you wish a ride out to Lymington, you can get the ferry across to Yarmouth or the Isle of Wight.
There's a fantastic pub, The Royal Oak, about 2m walk at Fritham, which serves locally brewed ales (Summer Lightning a particular favourite) and does a selection of variants of the Ploughman's Lunch, which are fantastic. All very reasonably priced.
The Staff at Ocknell, where you check in, were all very pleasant and helpful.
