We had a serviced pitch, it was empress as was every other services pitch. All we could hear throughout the day was birdsong and an occasional horse winning. We have never been to such a restful site, completely away from the hustle and bustle.

Cannot fault the site but it would be nice to have a bit of human contact even to welcome you in or thank you for staying!

Thank you for leaving a review. There is always someone in reception/the shop during office hours and the staff make regular tours of the site and will happily chat but don't like to intrude as some guests come to get away, it's a delicate balance.
5* and dog friendly!

Cannot recommend this site enough. Fantastically clean, beautifully laid out and very well run. Facilities are brand new and better than most hotels. It is dog friendly and is set up to make your whole experience for you and your best friend(s) a holiday to remember. Whilst on-site is on lead, access from the site to a woodland area gives your friends the chance to run free. Will definitely return and make it a longer stay.

Thanks for your lovely review, Paula. We all have dogs ourselves so we understand their needs and like to accommodate them as part of the family. The walks in the forest nearby are lovely and unlimited and there are plenty of dog-friendly beaches within about 30 minutes drive.

This is a lovely site. The pitches are large and well marked. The entry / exit is clearly marked and works well with the ANPR recognition. The facilities were very clean and so handy to have an ice pack freezer. The woodland walk to the village was well marked and easy to find from the back of the site. We sold our campervan the day before we arrived so decided to stay in our tent, which was fine as the pitch was so level. We've booked to stay again.

Travelled to the UK for a 5-week break, first stop after landing in Portsmouth. Big pitches, lots of open spaces in nature. Facilities clean, shower clean and plenty of hot water. Didn't use the shop.

Lovely campsite, everything is done online (as in check in and out) so very convenient, however it is in the middle of nowhere so you will definitely need a car or bike. Pub through the wood about 15 minutes walk with a shop just a bit further on and 1 hour walk to nearest village. No buses come through the village and after speaking to reception, taxis are minimal. We had a campervan so harder but with a car it would be an amazing site.
Site's response
Thank you for your review, Heidi. The village here has a shop and pub, both within walking distance. Fordingbridge, the nearest town is 50 minutes walk where you will find cafes, pubs, a range of independent shops and buses to Bournemouth and Salisbury and, in season, an open-topped tour bus for the New Forest, which you can get on and off at little villages all through the Forest.

Such a pretty site. We went with our old Goldie and there were fishing lakes and a short walk to a local pub. The place was immaculate, shower blocks etc were always pristine, and constant upkeep of pitches. Perfect. Would certainly revisit.

We enjoyed our stay and had a large pitch. There is a dog walk which leads into woods - ours loved it! The facilities are clean and there is a Thai takeaway on site. There is a small charge for day visitors.
Site's response
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We have introduced a small charge for day visitors to cover costs of extra electricity usage, washroom use and general wear and tear, rather than increasing pitch fees for everyone which would seem unfair. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay, hope to see you again soon.

A very well kept campsite. It was very quiet when we stayed. There was sufficient toilets and showers during our stay, I would be concerned if there would be enough to cope during busy periods. The pitches are very large, the largest we have ever stayed at anywhere. There is a pub within easy 20 minute walk through the woods, they serve very good value meals. We would have liked to have walked to Fordingbridge to try other pubs, sadly the footpaths were very overgrown and not passable with shorts on. Obviously not the fault of the campsite. Unfortunately we had to leave on Wednesday morning, as we would have liked to try the campsites Thai food. The menu looked very good and reasonably priced. I gave the location just a 4 star rating because it isn't situated on the New Forest. We will definitely visit here again.

Really easy to check in and out, and the facilities were clean and tidy. The pitch was also lovely, with your own green area, so we set up the badminton set, plenty of space, and no issue with the electricity, or grey waste. We booked the kids into the new forest waterpark, which they loved, we booked a cab which was only £16. There is also a pleasant walk through the woods to the village and a nice dog-friendly pub. Lots of dogs on site which was nice to see as well. We were not near the play area thankfully as the noise would have spoilt our stay, however, this is down to the parents and not the site. Something to bear in mind when booking a spot though, look at the site map and plan accordingly. 99% were respectful however.
Site's response
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Jason. I'm glad you enjoyed the local pub and the water park, great fun! Hope to see you again soon. We try our best to accommodate pitch preferences where possible, and do try to pitch couples without children or with older children away from the play area.

Just back from a lovely stay. Wonderful pitch with hedgerows around the pitch giving a sense of privacy. Each pitch is extremely generous and caters for a caravan, awning, car and an outside seating area. The site is silent at night! Not a sound, so peaceful and easy access by car to a cycle route around Ringwood. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Bed comfortable, kettle, toaster and fridge but no other equipment in the hut so need most of the camping equipment,. Shepherd's hut and facilities were clean. Showers at busy times could be cold and washing up water was never very warm. Good site for children and adopts quiet after 10 which works!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm sorry you had an issue with the water temperature, we will look into that, thank you for letting us know. There is a 2nd shower and toilet block near reception which all are welcome to use.

We came for two nights in our campervan. Had a bit of difficulty getting in using the app and then a lady appeared and told us to just drive in and the gate would open. She seemed to be in a rush so our initial reaction to the welcome wasn't great to be fair. However the site itself more than made up for it - the pitches are massive we could have fit two big tents in there they were so large. The site is clean and the facilities are adequate. On the first day we didn't realise that there was a path at the back of the site that took us into Alderholt so we went on a rather treacherous hike along quite busy country lanes on foot. It would have been a better experience if we were asked if this was our first time and given information or even a leaflet about access. That said, the standard of the site was very good they even have a freezer you can use. Great for children as there is plenty of safe areas and a little area with swings and slides etc. Overall I thought that the site offers really good value for money. I would overall recommend this site.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We have a numberplate recognition barrier to gain access to the site so the barrier is triggered as you approach. In front of reception we have an information room with places to visit and maps for local walks. The team work hard to keep the site clean and tidy and I have passed your compliments on to them. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again soon.
