About the site

Within the park's abundant space, you'll find more than 100 pitches, which allow guests to relax, free from disturbance and facilitate the development of a 'quality-of-life' philosophy for the park. In addition to the six-acre caravan park, 18 acres of the park is set aside for woodland. Thanks to careful conservation and stewardship, the area has an abundance of thriving natural wildlife, fauna and flora. The site has won awards for conservation. Open areas have been created in order to encourage insects, bees and bird life as well as wildflowers. The site has also previously been ranked as one of Practical Caravan's Top 100 Sites. There are 22 fully serviced hardstanding pitches all with electric, water and a grey waste drain. 12 are Superior fully serviced which would suit a large caravan, motorhome or 5th wheeler a bench is included with this pitch type. The other ten are standard fully serviced pitches. The park offers a further ten large hardstanding and 36 standard hardstanding pitches, which are suitable for motorhomes, caravans or campervans.

For pitches without an electric hook up, the park offers 15 dog friendly grass pitches, which are suitable for motorhomes, caravans, campervans or tents. If you have a tent or small campervan there is a wild camping area with around 20 unmarked spaces in a beautiful woodland glade. If you love the idea of whiling away an evening by an open fire and making the most of the dark skies, you can rent a fire pit from the on site shop. You are welcome to bring your own fire pit but this must be approved by a member of the team and you'll need to use the site's own briquettes which are made for safety and ecology.

We found the site fantastic. All the amenities were clean and tidy. The bar offered a great range of drinks and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The shop was stocked well and the added bonus you could pre order charcuterie boards, cream teas and baked goods was a great extra!

From the word go was very impressed, check in was swift and informative, site was immaculately tidy, facilities were also immaculate. Added bonus was the onsite bar, food vans and entertainment. Staff were all helpful and very polite. We will definitely be returning at some point next year.

Oct 2025

A lovely, well kept, clean and tidy looking camp site, the best we've been at yet. The staff are very helpful, the are pitches large and private. The shower block was excellent, clean and warm, a super stay. We used the visiting food vans most nights, the jacket potatoes were lovely, so no cooking. Monty's bar was a friendly warm place, we met some nice people there and the barman was especially welcoming, we will definitely come again. Visited the local area, plenty to do.

A note from the site themselves...

We bought the site in 2013, having sold up our home and business in London. With three teenage boys in tow, it really was the adventure of a lifetime! Nothing would ever prepare us for the stress of moving, selling a house, selling a business, buying a business and moving 3 boys into new schools, knowing absolutely no one in the area and very little about the touring park industry.

We had business experience, so we knew the basics and everything else we did was around our instincts and creating a park that we'd want to visit and be proud of. We also listened to our customers over the years and have been receptive to advice and taken any constructive criticism.

We hope that you'll connect with what we are about and that you'll love our park as much as we do!

New wildflower meadows have been planted in this area to support the honey bees on site (honey is available in the shop) and other pollinators, in keeping with the park's green ethos.

There is a pitch and putt golf course onsite where all the proceeds go to charity. Near the start of the golf course, you'll find a pétanque pitch and communal BBQ area.

Nearby, you can explore the New Forest National Park (15 minutes), the perfect setting for a country escape.
