Great campsite
Medium Tent - Non Electric Lake View Grass Pitches May 2025 What a fantastic campsite. Very clean & beautiful views.
Camping 2025
Large Tent - Electric Grass Lake View Pitches Apr 2025 It was an amazing experience for a group of first-timers! The location did not disappoint! Highly recommended.
Loved it, a few tweaks would make it even better
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding and Grass Motorhome Pitches (Dog Friendly) Sep 2024 Great site, took the dog for a long morning walk around the blue and red cycle trails which were deserted at 6:30am. Surrounded by trees which was blissful!
Signposting was a little confusing and made it feel like I was on a UK Youth only site when they clearly take the general public too. The lady on the desk was civil but I felt like I was inconveniencing her.
Gorgeous new facilities block. Could do with better signage & night-time lighting. As a single female, I felt a little uneasy trying to find the toilet in the dark listening to some very loud smoking bikers close by. I would definitely stay again if I had my husband with me.
Great site
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Lake View Grass Pitches Sep 2024 Great site with helpful staff.
Stay
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding and Grass Motorhome Pitches (Dog Friendly) Aug 2024 Cafe is very poor. Overpriced and rude staff.
Lovely environment Small Tent - Non Electric Forest Floor Tent Pitches (Dog Friendly) Aug 2024 Great location and grounds. However, not a lot to do on site without paying, but I was aware of that on booking.
The toilets were well used, so became dirty quite quickly in-between cleans.
I would stay again, apart from the noise. Between 9pm and 10pm, the noise from screaming kids, cars coming and going, people drinking and music playing was just about unbearable.
Great
Medium Tent - Non Electric Lake View Grass Pitches Aug 2024 Had a great few days and would recommend to families with young kids.
One of the best campsites I've ever visited
Trailer Tent - Electric Grass Lake View Pitches Aug 2024 One of the best campsites.
Fantastic site for toddlers to teenagers
Large Tent - Electric Grass Lake View Pitches Aug 2024 Great site for toddlers to teenagers. Friendly staff and great activities for all ages.
Beautiful but disappointing Large Tent - Electric Grass Lake View Pitches Aug 2024 Fantastic location right on the edge of the New Forest, with lovely parks and woods for the kids to explore.
Unfortunately, it's on a flight path, so noisy, low flying planes were a nuisance, and the cold showers and stony ground (bent quite a lot of pegs) means we won't be staying there again!
Good site
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Lake View Grass Pitches Aug 2024 Very nice site, my only complaint would be that the pitches were so close together, we could hear everyone snoring all night. It's also under the flight path for the airport, so you will hear jets going over until midnight.
We had pizza in the cafe which was very nice. It would be good if the shop stayed open later than 5pm.
Excellent family site
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding and Grass Motorhome Pitches (Dog Friendly) Jul 2024 We stayed for 3 nights and had a great time. I was accompanied by my daughter and son in law and 3 grandchildren.
The pitch was in a good position, close but not too close to facilities. and close to the heathland which was perfect for long walks with the dog.
We signed up for the zip line and Tree Top Trail and thoroughly enjoyed both. Instructors were top class and the children were given full encouragement.
Brilliant place awesome activities and adventure!
Large Tent - Electric Grass Lake View Pitches Jul 2024 What a wonderful place, we were able to relax and the kids wore themselves out! The bike trails were all suitable for my 8yo and my 12 year old loved it just as much.
Staff were lovely really great activity leaders! Beautiful camping with loads of space. Thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay, thank you Avon Tyrrell!
Camping stay
Large Tent - Electric Grass Lake View Pitches Jul 2024 I thought the site was good, lots to do onsite. Cafe and shop, which was great, and being able to use a fire pit was good for the evenings.#
However, a bit disappointed with the mixed showers and toilets, didn't seem enough for the amount of people camping on the site and we found the older children seemed to be in there messing around. Would prefer female facilities separate to male facilities and a bit more lighting during the night to see them easier.
Lovely place for children amazing facilities
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding and Grass Motorhome Pitches (Dog Friendly) Jun 2024 Our grandchildren loved it. Everywhere was clean and tidy and helpful staff.
Negatives are that it is on the Bournemouth runway flight path and they come in low! Not a major problem for us and a bit annoying that children on their own can't use the aerial runway, boats on lakes or the high ropes without either being in a party or pre-booking - not sure why, as this limits what single kids can do. Why not let them join a group or allow walk ins, I just don't know? Health and Safety I expect.
Family break for the Bank Holiday
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Lake View Pitches May 2024 Family stay. We had a great time and took part in lots of activities. Very friendly place and our kids made friends with other children within minutes.
Lovely site, felt the facilities need improving though
Large Tent - Non Electric Lake View Grass Pitches May 2024 Lovely site and location. Big open field with nice lake and activities. Liked the communal picnic benches scattered around.
I didn't think the facilities (toilets/showers) were clean and they were very often broken/out of use. I felt they need more of them too.
We were told certain activities weren't on and then saw other people doing them, which was disappointing for the children.
Spot on.
Medium Tent - Non Electric Forest Floor Tent Pitches (Dog Friendly) Apr 2024 The activities were great.
A great site with great staff, we highly recommended.
Will definitely be back...
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Lake View Pitches Oct 2023 What a lovely place. We had a lakeside pitch, which was spacious and had lovely views, the site's facilities were close, clean and had a large washing up area. From the site, it's a 10 minute walk and you're lost in the New Forest, which is perfect.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, the only shame is most of the activities you have to be up early for. One thing we learnt was you have to pre-book any activities, you cannot join them on the day so plan ahead!
Lovely campsite for good weather
Large Tent - Electric Grass and Earth Tent Pitches Oct 2023 A great place for older children and in good weather. Very muddy in the area we were in, which was a shame as it could have been excellent if the ground was not so boggy. Facilities and activities are great and very exciting if you have over 8's.
Lovely place
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Lake View Grass Pitches Oct 2023 Such a lovely place. Beautiful location, so many activities, lovely helpful staff. Can't wait to return!
Peaceful weekend
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding and Grass Motorhome Pitches (Dog Friendly) Sep 2023 What a lovely, quite place. No noise from the other people, unlike the last place we stayed.
Fresh water tap next to our pitch, alongside electrics.
The site is well away from anywhere. There are plenty of lovely tracks to walk and the New Forest is just outside the entrance.
Perfect camping
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Lake View Pitches Sep 2023 Beautiful place to stay. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
It was a shame that when people were using shower facilities, they didn't clean up after themselves, despite cleaning equipment there to be used. Things like this waste it for other people.
Amazing stay, would highly recommend!
Medium Tent - Non Electric Forest Floor Tent Pitches (Dog Friendly) Sep 2023 Really great stay, perfect location and very child friendly, with lots to do on site. Will definitely be back next summer for a longer stay!
An activity centre rather than a campground Medium Tent - Non Electric Forest Floor Tent Pitches (Dog Friendly) Sep 2023 Plus sides were that it was clean, with well lit shower block and toilets. Well attended to during stay. Good washing up facilities with hot water. Able to use fire pits. Covered BBQ areas useful during rain. Good proximity to Burley and the forest
Downsides were that the campground was stony and not level and we didn't feel like we were in the New Forest. No views over open land.
'Scot's Pine' pitch area was next to lights on another property which were left on all night. Could see a large agricultural building/warehouse.
