Amazing glamping weekend

We stayed the weekend of the 19th of May at Southwood Park and had the best glamping experience! The owners always made sure that we were super comfortable and had everything we needed. Amongst other things, we suggested that a bench in the shower rooms would be useful and shortly after, Adam had arranged it for us! The place is so new, clean, organised, well thought out and there is something for everyone. There is a playground, board games and books for the children, a pool table and a bar for the adults and there is even a fire pit and a pizza oven!! It was a very special weekend and Adam and Rachel made it unforgettable for us!! We will definitely go back!

Lovely campsite for families with young children

This is a lovely, small campsite. Absolutely perfect for families with young children - the site is secure and enclosed and there is a lovely play area for under 12s. It is not really suitable for teens as the campsite is very quiet after 9pm - my children were told off by another camping family because they wanted to go to bed and my children were still playing outside. The facilities are kept very clean and the showers are wonderful. The social tent is a great idea for rainy days/nights, and you can also order really tasty food there (it can take quite a while to prepare though). Location wise, you mostly have to drive to surrounding attractions for entertainment during the day. I would definitely recommend this campsite for families with younger children.

Last minute get away, first time in a bell tent and loved it. Clean, tidy, with friendly staff who were really helpful. Couple of minor points/observations. We took our dog, but couldn't find any convenient dog walks close to the site. The public footpaths were heavily overgrown and I wasn't going to track through nettles in shorts. This isn't in the sites control, but as most people staying at the site had a dog with them, perhaps an addition to the welcome pack with some idea of dog walks from the site that don't need to go in the car. As I say, was a last minute getaway, new to the camping thing, so don't have all the gear (definitely have no idea though) but a motion sensor light at the pot washing sinks may be useful. Trying to wash away stir fry from my pots in the dark with cold water was... Interesting. Lovely site, and well placed to get to the places we wanted to see. Wish we had had longer. I would return and would recommend 👍🏻

Things to do on site and in the Hambrook area
Nestled just ten minutes outside of Chichester, a day exploring this charming cathedral city is a must. Stroll the charming streets and enjoy a spot of shopping or venture to the The Novium Museum or Pallant House Gallery for a cultured afternoon out.
Just 20 minutes from the coast, the site is also ideally situated for days out at the beach. Hayling Island Beach (20 minutes) is perfect for swimming or kite surfing with an expansive pebble shoreline, whilst Bognor Regis Beach is also just 30 minutes away with many seaside attractions.
The wonderful seaside city of Portsmouth is a 20 minute drive away. Head to the popular Gun Wharf Quays Outlet, scale the epic Spinnaker Tower for some amazing views of the coast or visit the Mary Rose Museum to learn more about the famous 16th century warship.
Goodwood House and Motor Circuit is also just a 20 minute drive from the site. Book tickets to the famous Festival of Speed, watch some of the horseracing or enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea at the grand Goodwood House.
Other nearby attractions include:
