Bookable pitches and accommodation options
31 x Grass Pitches (Optional Electric)
Max 6 people
Grass pitch, sized around 10m x 10m with optional electric. Suitable for tents, campervan, motorhomes and RVs. One unit per pitch. Distance between awnings and adjoining caravan no less than 3m.
Great stay. Very nice reception from both staff and other campers and great location.
We walked up to Hamble Village for food and drink at The Kings and Queens (lovely food!) and finished off at the Mercury Marina Bar. My only gripe was the shower tray was not clean at all and didn't drain well. The cubicle was later locked so I reckon staff were aware.
But, this didn't detract from a great place that we would most definitely return to.
Site's response
We're so pleased you had a great stay!
Apologies about the shower: we hope that the other the shower units were of a high standard for you and that you weren't inconvenienced by having one closed for maintenance.
We look forward to welcoming you to the site another time.
Clean and great facilities
