Reception staff - very friendly and appeared quite laid back.
Showers - Would have preferred to have been able to shower my daughter by detaching shower head but they are in the ceiling, which meant I had to actually shower with her, not enough room for adult and 7 year old, family shower room I heard wasn't that great but didn't even go in as another person said the showers were cold in there.
Showers trays not deep enough and so all our clothes got soaked when the shower tray overflowed onto the floor, and could have possibly soaked everyone elses stuff as the water was running down the floor. Showers were nice and hot and very clean including toilets.
Small playground, not much to look at but my two kids enjoyed it and spent time flying kites, playing with bat and balls etc
Shop was quite small and hugely overpriced, but you would expect to ripped off by a site shop. Waitrose and tesco are close by.
Loved the fact you can pitch where you want and because this was our first camping trip we asked where to go, pitched near the hedge but wind was just a slight breeze anyway, sun shone the whole time so we were lucky.
I wouldn't say this site was close to a beach, the beaches are pebble, hard to access and unsuitable for any long amounts of walking as they are big stones. Drove into lymington which was a few minutes drive, beautiful little town, very pretty.
Partner and I agreed we probably wouldn't use this site again as the traffic from lyndhurst to the site is terrible we live 38 miles away and had to do to two trips ( our first time camping so hadnt invested in a trailer and didn't want to travel to far)), we got there pretty quick about 50 minutes from north hampshire) but the 38 miles turned into a two hour drive on all of the other trips I had to do, nightmare!
We travelled at 7. 45am on a saturday morning which was ok and came back on a monday, first trip was 10am, just to give you an idea of 'it doesn't matter what time you chose' its a nightmare of a road, really lets the site down and I would suggest to anyone visiting to find an alternate route avoiding lyndhurst and brockenhurst before setting off.
At £25 a night we didn't think it was too bad, friends have said this is expensive, I only paid for one of our two nights purely on the fact myself and family were awake most of the sunday night well into the early hours because of two sets of campers playing loud music and generally being a pain.
I don't mind a bit of noise and to be honest I expected it, but not to the extent that my partner had to go and tell them to shut up on the 6th time we heard the 'happy birthday to ya' song being sung/played, needless to say the group of 6 young/older teens were asked to leave the site that day.
The other group also left that day, wether or not asked to I don't know as we had packed up and gone before we found out. Apparently this site normally has wardens on friday and saturday nights. Maybe hence the sunday night parties that they probably waited to have ?
The first night we were there was lovely and peaceful by about 10pm.
Very dog friendly we took our lurcher pup and greyhound and they both enjoyed lazing about in the sun, plenty of places to walk them.
Loved the fact we could have a fire near our tent because we stayed around it until 11pm just quietly resting and enjoying the peace (the noise started past midnight), the fields do have marks where the fires have been and the fields are not in perfect condition, but your camping so not sure what else people would expect ? I thought it was great fun and so did the kids with their marsh mellows.
I did see a comment saying about the park being noisy and yes it is during the day so I would pitch away from it if you don't like the sound of kids playing all day. Didn't affect us because the noise stopped way before we tried to sleep anyway.
Overall - would have used site again had traffic route not been so bad, nice laid back site with nice staff who appear to be helpful in whatever they can.
We visited as part of a large group of families in August. The site was very large and we were invited to pitch up where ever we liked, which was good. The staff were very friendly and relaxed, and on the whole we were happy with the facilities.
However, I did feel that the price - £25 a night - was a little steep considering that we didn't have electrical hook up and I would have expected for this price for the site to at least have a pool. There was a play ground which was okay, but the beach was pretty grim (although the crabbing was awesome!).
Because of the price, lack of a decent beach and no other entertainment for the kids other than a climbing frame, we won't be returning.
This site is a hidden gem and we all loved it even our dog refused to get back in the camper when it was time to leave. We came across it by accident after leaving another site that we hated. We only stayed for 1 night as a stopover before getting a ferry to IOW the following day and I wish we had stayed longer.
The site is very rustic with a fantastic children's play area in the centre of one of the fields. The receptionist showed us to our pitch pointing out where best to go as the ground was still recovering after the recent poor weather. They did not ask for money up front and gave us the option to settle in then go back up and pay. The staff were a credit to the site and so laid back.
There were a few rules but these were made clear from the start as guidance for happy camping rather than rules which was great. Free range eggs are available which is a must and they are delicious and campfires are allowed. I only wish we were prepared to have one.
The view was fantastic we could see IOW, hurst castle and the needles from our pitch. Bathrooms were great however the shower head being in the ceiling is a problem if your not planning on washing your hair, luckily I was.
We luckily had bikes and my husband went into the local town for supplies as the shop did not have anything but it was not a problem.
The walks nearby are great and my dog loved the freedom and walks she went on.
Would highly recommend and we will hopefully be going back and staying for longer in the near future. There are a few facilities such as a breakfast bar and another shop on site which I assume open in high season as deliveries were being made whilst we were there but they were not open.
Stayed here on a windy weekend - luckily the hedge row helped keep us sheltered a bit. The toilet / shower facilities where excellent and was always clean and tidy ( cleaning lady needs a gold star). Great to be allowed to have campfires which is a must even if it's just to toast marshmallows
I was really impressed with how the owners take security / noise levels seriously with someone walking around and checking alls ok a few times in the evening - this allowing everyone to have an enjoyable stay.
Three fields that are not too far away from the toilet block.
Seems lots of walks around - we did the loop around the marshes / bird area very pleasant.
One thing I would definitely suggest is two or three wind breaks to help shelter the area in front / around your tent.
Will visit again and hope for sunshine instead of wind and rain that we seem to be having this summer!
We went down as 3 families (9 kids from 7 down to 8 months old). Stayed for 3 nights in what has to be the wettest and windest camping we have ever done. It was over the Jubilee weekend, so we were all in good form to enjoy ourselves and even the rain didn't spoil it!
It is our 2nd trip and we have booked up another one in August.
We love everything and one of the favourites is the wonderful cycling both towards Hurst Castle and Lymington, everyone enjoys it and it sure makes us all sleep well.
The playarea is great and the kids love going over to see the horses in the nearby field. We all love having our own fires and especially being able to eat so many marshmallows.
What a gem of a site. Stayed with a group of 12 ladies from our church. Found the site on this website and it looked good. Spoke to very friendly and helpful person on phone when booking who made the process of booking for a group so simple.
Arrived on a damp and windy Friday and was shown a great spot with shelter from the gusts. We were free to camp anywhere but took their advice. They also have an extremely accurate weather forecasting system on their computer and told us it would be dry till 10pm sat then rain till 10am sun followed by sunshine - they were right - amazing!
There were three large fields for camping - all pretty flat with hedge round the outside. There was some puddles in the fields as we have had so much rain recently- but not too bad. You can have campfires on the ground (£5 per bag wood), we didn't this time but there were a few on site.
Toilet facilities were very good, pretty new and regularly cleaned. There are two blocks for each sex next to each other. The campsite was pretty empty when we visited so cannot comment on how busy the facilities get, though did come at easter when it was much busier (and sunnier!) and never had to wait then.
Campsite owners are so relaxed and friendly. Our tents were soaked on the sunday morning but we were told we could go out for the day and come back later to pack up. So refreshing!
Location of site was perfect for us. Close to town with pubs and a waitrose! Also we love walking and site is only 10 mins walk down good paths to the coast. Had lovely walk from there to keyhaven then out to Hurst Castle (and back on ferry). A great site, lovely people and we will be back!
We stayed at Hurst View with 6 other families and found the site to be very welcoming.
Lovely to be able to pitch where you want and the bonus of camp fires being allowed. The toilets and showers were always clean and tidy.
There are easy walks straight from the campsite, they are gravel paths suitable for walking and cycling. You can walk to the nearest shingle shore in 10 mins, looking out to the Isle of Wight.
Lymington and Keyhaven are within an hour easy walk. We will definitely be returning.
My husband and I have just had a great time at Hurst View camp site, the staff where lovely nothing was too much trouble very helpful. We have a little dog called Rocky he loved it because all the great walks we could take him on all close to the site. They had new shower blocks which were always clean and what a change to have a nice hot shower, we have stayed in a few places with our camper van but not a patch on Hurst View, the shop was open for a couple of hours a day which was just right to get milk and bread did not expect it to be open all day this time of year. Over all we think this site was one of the best we have stayed at and would go back again and again, as the for the review that said it was scruffy and the loos had not been cleaned and had no atmosphere, where did she stay because it was not this campsite that we have just stayed at. We give it 5*.
We stayed over the October half-term with our children great site with no restriction on space, modern facilities hot showers, great walks, nice surroundings lots of wildlife to see. Although I have to say we feel the site is not suitable for children due to one of the site residents thrashing his quad bike around the site well over the 10 mph speed limit several times a day on a daily basis. Such a shame as we like to give our children freedom when on holiday.
We took advantage of the fabulous hot 1st weekend in October and turned up at Hurst View campsite to stay for one night. Plenty of room for our group of 4 families. £14 per tent so very reasonable price.
After our experience of a really noisy and disappointing campsite last weekend, this was a wonderful surprise. Very rural position, definitely no road noise. Lots of patches where people had had open fires so needed to pitch around these. So unusual to be able to have an open fire, we took advantage and had a lovely warm evening with marshmallows.
Lovely walk to the shore, children didn't moan too much as lots of birds and nature to see and blackberries to pick on the way. Sea was a bit grim looking with lots of sludge but kids still went in. Crabbing off the pontoon was a huge hit.
Not much of a beach as such, stony but this didn't deflect on our fun. It really is a beautiful place, with the boats to look at and you felt you could almost touch the Isle of Wight.
Loos/showers clean. Small play area which kids liked. Will definitely bring bikes next time (you can hire them on site, and didn't appear to be expensive)
On arrival we were met with a friendly warm welcome and this continued throughout the week. Nothing was too much for any off the staff. We were shown where to pitch as we were having ehu.
Whilst we were busy pitching and setting up, the children investigated the play equipment.
The toilets/showers were kept constantly cleaned by one lady. Gosh she was so busy but at the same time, very helpful. Showers always hot.
The campsite is set in a wonderful area, plenty of walking / cycling / crabbing. There are a couple of pubs fairly nearby and lymington shops not too far off. Hurst castle is worth a visit with its amazing spit.
Being allowed campfires was a bonus and magical. Get the marshmellows out. You can hire cycles on site at very reasonable prices, whether it be for a day, half a day or just a few hours.
There is a shop on site, a little pricey but hey, you are on holiday. Also sold bacon rolls in the morning.
We are hoping to return again next year for a week. The only reason we have not marked it 10/10 is the lack of entertainment but then again not everyone wants entertainment when camping.
Large couple of fields not kept well. Very tired and run down and when we arrived in September first week, all facilities like the shop were shut. Very scruffy looking with closed shutters and an end of season dull atmosphere, diggers on site and a general feel of a travellers camp site.
Loos and showers not cleaned more than once roughly in 3 days, muddy floors, hair in the showers and men walking into the ladies showers. For the fairly high price a very low standard and quite a depressing place and would not recommend at all.
Have stayed in certified locations for half the tariff and double the standards. It appears a lack of life and zeal in the place overall. Holes in the entrance road, holes in the grass and much damage from fires which is a nice idea but could be done in a more protective way for the ground/environment and the aesthetics.
Chemical toilet area dirty and full of rubbish with a broken wall around it. It is sad when this happens to a site and may require a new lease of life before it can bring itself anywhere near most campsites these days.
One great thing, free wi-fi if near enough to the router. Not worth it though, rather have the site clean and attractive and with an active energy about it.
Very windy here, you can see the Needles and the walks would be excellent but they are full of dog excreta.
Have just returned from a weeks trip to Hurst view. We are a large family of six and all the children are now adults! We chose this campsite because of the friendliness and welcoming manner of the reception staff when I called to book and also the fact that this is one of the few campsites that allow camp fires.
Hurst view was busy and vibrant full of families and large groups of campers as well as smaller tents. We camped in the first field for tents only and pitched where we wanted ( no regime, no over strict rules and no restriction on space)
The toilet and washing facilities were excellent, clean, spacious and hot water for showers whatever time of day.
It was a busy week but we never felt overcrowded and the facilities coped very well. The shop was well stocked and fire wood always available to buy.
Beautiful views and a relaxed attitude to camping made this a great place for our large and lively family to sit around the campfire at night, chatting and chilling without fear of being frowned on for making too much noise! Having said that, the camp settled down by around 11 and was quiet and peaceful till morning.
There are lots of things to do in the area, the trip to Portsmouth is well worth it and Beaulieu National Motor Museum is very good value.
But the beauty of the place is just to sit, chat and enjoy the atmosphere of this friendly spacious site, with a wander to the nearby pub for good food and the odd stroll over the field to view the solent in it's evening glory! proper relaxed camping -
A highly recommended site. (take a wind break! you will need it)
Overall I quite liked this campsite, the plus points being you can camp where you like, the relaxed attitude on the site and the non-restriction of campfires and facilities were good and clean.
The negative points and the first is a big negative point (to extent where I will probably not be returning for this reason again), the entire campsite is situated next to a landfill site meaning most days from dawn to dusk there is a constant noise from earth shifting vehicles and a very slight whiff of decaying rubbish from time to time.
I also found that the local on-site shop had sporadic opening times which made it was hit or miss as to whether it would be open or not and I also felt the whole site had a slightly “shabby” feel to it.
I chose to stay at this campsite based on the good reviews however had not seen some of the older reviews pointing out the location of the site being next to a landfill.
Upon arrival I was greeted by friendly check in process and directed to the camping fields where I decided to set up camp in the furthest field along the hedge line, however whilst setting up the tent a large earth shifting vehicle appeared from nowhere directly behind the hedge and caused me to rethink my position.
I moved to the opposite side of the campsite in the hope that I would not be able to hear the vehicles but still the noise from the vehicles were still obvious throughout my stay.
That said I still had a very enjoyable 3 night stay with my wife and 2 children and would still recommend the site with a word of caution on the above. I felt that the nightly rate was a bit steep for camping at £25. 00 per night but then this seemed to be the going rate for the area.
This campsite has good and bad - first the good: Location-wise it's great, just south of Lymington town centre and views of the Isle of Wight.
You feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, particularly after driving down the lane and beginning to think you must have taken the wrong turn!
The owners are great and very laid back - no issues there. The tent field we used (left hand one) is enormous and there was plenty of room for our 7-family party, multiple games of cricket, lots of kite flying and bike riding with loads of room to spare even on an August weekend.
The down side? Well that's the facilities on site. The new washrooms are very smart and they are kept clean which is great. It's just they need about twice as many of them. The gents consists of 8 showers, 10 basins, 2 urinals and 6 toilets. There were queues well in to the morning for both ladies and gents. At other sites I have seen remote composting toilets away from the main blocks, which relieve the pressure on the main facilities.
There is only a small number of washing up sinks as well. Although this was a pain at times it didn't spoil our weekend.
Not the prettiest campsite either - some of the static caravans look a bit grotty and the site shop looks uninviting with its grills across the windows. There are very few trees which would break up the monotony of the fields, slow the wind and offer a little more privacy.
Judge the campsite shop prices for yourself - normal size can of Heinz Beans: £ 1. 10.
Showers are free, our tent field had water points and electric hook ups around the edge.
We spent a lovely day on Mudeford Beach, not far away with some great crabbing and calm seas. And Lymington itself is a pleasant place to visit.
