Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesSep 2023
Excellent stay, the site manager was a star, helped me out a lot because of timings with work.
Overall, it was a great spot for the Bournemouth Air Festival as we got a sneak peak at some of the aircraft.
The only thing not giving this 5/5 is that I was awoken by some other rude camper who decided to have an argument at 5am. So maybe having a member of staff or security during these peak periods may be ideal, as this woke me and my 4 year old son up.
Other than that, the actual stay was very enjoyable, easy to find, has everything you need and shops near by. I really look forward to staying again next year!
Really lovely campsite

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2023
We found Parley to be a great little campsite.
We're a family of adults (so didn't have any young kids) but there were young families camping. We pitched our own tents. The site was very clean and tidy, well maintained, facilities are pretty good for a basic site.
Showers and toilets are decent, plus a room for washing up. Fire-pit hire was useful, they also have log burners and cookers available. There's a little camping shop where you can get your, gas, burners, logs, kindling, etc. There is also a bar where you can order food and stay dry!
Obviously the site is right next to an airport so you do have to accept the inevitable aircraft noise but it's quite exciting to see the 737s take off (if you like that sort of thing). Only a handful of flights throughout the day so it's not too bad tbh. Earliest flight was around 6:30am, latest around 11:pm.
Location is great, a number of restaurants, shops, etc just a few minutes away by car.
A trip to the beach is only a little further and then of course you've got the New Forest to play in. No activities on-site to speak of (unless of course you like golf!) so you need to provide your own fun!
