 Good campsite. Big grassy pitches - really nice ground and good for hte kids/dogs!
Really relaxed - we had a fire every evening - no one bothered us. Loads of people there and yet no noise and not cramped!
Toilet blocks were ok. Showers had good power but a little on the cold side! first time I have seen family shower room - good idea. Bonus hair dryer in the ladies - and an electrical socket in the laundry room if you wanted it.
Really easy to find. 5 minute drive to shops. Walking distance to pubs and beautiful coastal walk where you can see the Isle of White.
We had a fab weekend - and arrived late friday night so pitched in the dark!

We had a lovely week at Hurst View. The campsite itself is very basic, but great location. 10 min drive into the New Forest, 10 min bike ride to the beach.
Strongly recommend taking bikes. You can buy a crabbing line from the little shop on site we had great fun with our daughter every day going to the beach and stopping off at the pub for lunch.
Would recommend this site for dog walkers as most of the pubs welcome dogs. The staff on the site were so helpful and we will be returning again.

Will I stay there again? Yes. Is it the best campsite in the World? No.
Trying to find a campsite that would allow a one day booking at short notice in Dorset/Hamshire was becoming a fruitless search. Minimum 5 nights at some site. I visit was saved bu Hurst View: A laid back, relaxed, and pretty basic campsite.
No maximum pitches here. Find your own space anywhere within the 3 large fields.
The owner is very relaxed. Charged me for a 2 man tent even though it was a family tent because there was just me and my young son. And what time must I leave the next day? He wasn't bothered. 'Up to midnight', he joked.
The shower blocks were packed in the morning. But I discovered 2 family bathrooms around the corner, which have a toilet, basin and shower in each. It was worth waiting there.
Lots of campers had small camp fires during the late evening. It looked rather pretty actually.
The wheelie bins were over flowing and it was a wasp heaven!
Basic and Friendly site.

Large site with plenty of places to camp around outsides of the 3 large fields. Space is left in the middle of the fields so you don't feel boxed in by other tents. Wind isn't too bad if you camp near edge.
Helpful staff on site. Your allowed your own fire near your tent and reception sell bags of wood for £4, very handy and not too expensive. Staff leave you alone to enjoy your holiday, but are around if needed. Small shop on site too.
Toilets are definitely the worst thing about the site. They are old porta cabins containing toilets and very small showers cubicals. Staff do keep them clean but they still do not feel very nice to use and floors are often wet.
Over the back of the site there are lovely walks over the old-salt marshes and to the coast that overlooks Isle of White, however not a beach.
Conveniently located site, only a quick drive to Lymington town center (where there are good shops, Waitrows, tescos metro), Brockenhurst, Milford on Sea or even Bournemouth.
I would use the camp site again, however wish they would invest in better toilet / shower facilities.

Visited this campsite as a first time camper with other half, two kids and two dogs. Very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely go again.
Family bathrooms on site were excellent, other toilets and showers basic but were cleaned twice a day. Site was also tidied daily.
We setup at bottom of far field by the dog walk. Good walk and cycle track to Keyhaven. There is also a nature reserve which you can walk through and access a coastal walk (not a beach) where you can see Hurst castle and the Needles.
Only downside is that they allowed groups of youngsters.
Ideal for what we wanted and as I said before would go again.

Good points: This campsite is fairly large. Spread over 3 fields for tents and we didn't see what the size was for static caravans but it was a nice size. Dogs allowed on leads with great walks out to the salt marshes overlooking the Isle of Wight. If you're a twitcher - take binoculars, the wildlife is incredible.
Enough toilets and 3 showers in each mens/ladies loos. 2 Family Bathrooms. Extra porta-loo-type-toilets. Small shop which sells a few bits, it's also reception. Not really much noise from other campers. Large family groups there, but weren't a problem. Tidy place. Well looked after.
Bad points: Showers and loos aren't immaculate, so if you are a clean freak, be warned. Cleaner was in every day but did a pretty lame job - mop was sopping wet and left it like an ice rink, though it was clean. Shower cubicles are tiny as are loos, doors open outwards. Nevertheless, there are toilets!
This campsite being situated where it is, over the solent, is very windy. You have been warned! If you are fine with a breeze, then it's great but it is gusty, and getting the tent up can be challenging, as can lighting a campfire. (as we found out!)
We stayed for 3 days 2 nights here. I enjoyed my stay here, even though it was windy, I would probably go back again as it wasn't too expensive and they didn't charge for extra persons or to have a wee etc.

Headed for this site having read many reviews here, and now feel less confident about depending on other reviewers again!
The field itself is fine, big, no trees to camp by though which is a shame. You couldn't see the sea which was disappointing. Would be singing its praises somewhat, if it weren't for the truly terrible toilet blocks. There was water constantly on the floors, there were 3 showers in the girl's block and one was completely uninhabitable with clogged up drains and the other two were cramped, with broken taps, cold water and generally lacking in cleanliness. I didn't let my children go near them, and my husband didn't shower for the weekend - so the men's were bad too!
The children's play area was ok, but for the discarded crisp packets etc. The bins were so overflowing it looked like a health hazard.
One bonus of the site is that they allowed fires, which was fun for the kids. The guy who seemed to run the site even came round very late dowsing the fires down, which we were impressed with.
The site feels off the beaten track, but you're actually quite close (by car) to lots of shops etc. A wonderful pub in very close walking distance is a huge plus. Would thoroughly recommend Lymington quay for crabbing. It seemed a charming place generally.
If toilet blocks aren't important to you, then go for it!

Stayed at this site for 4 nights and had a great time. We were lucky and got EHU £20 per night inclusive no extra charges at all on this site! Saw Wing helping a lady put her tent up (in strong winds) when we arrived that really was impressive service!
Lovely walks and views of the Needles. Downside to this is no protection from the wind. When wind dropped perfect site with helpful staff. And the bonus of camp fires with marshmallows to toast! Toilets/showers could be better but at least clean and the rest of the site more than compensated for this.
Oh and free wifi so teenage daughter very happy !

A great site only a short walk to the beach, real fires allowed. Small but very reasonably priced shop selling logs, ice creams, cold drinks, sweets, crab lines and nets etc. Toilets and showers are basic but clean.
The only fault we had was a shortage of washing up facilities - only 2 sinks, but hey the rest is so great it didn't really bother us. Staff really helpful and friendly. We took 3 children and 2 dogs. Highly recommended.

Have just returned from an enjoyable busy bank holiday weekend at this nice basic site. The people who run it are very friendly and helpful and at £5 per adult and £3.50 per child the prices are quite reasonable. The play area was fab for my 6 and 3 yr olds and they were happy to spend a good few hours there at a time. There were hookups but don't know how many as we didn't need one.
FYI - The water tap is to the right of the toilet block if you are looking at it and on the wooden fence. We spent ages trying to find it.
The facilities are ok, but as is the case with Bank Holidays, it was just too busy for the amount of toilets and showers that were available. They tried hard to keep it clean but the floors were very wet and the family showers were not that comfortable with a concrete floor and nowhere to hang a family amount of clothes and towels. There were too many tents in the far field so no room to kick a ball about or fly a kite.
The town Milford-On-Sea is lovely with everything you need and the cafe on the sea front has a fantastic view of the IOW needles and a great play area for the kids. We also spent a day on one of the beaches towards Christchurch and had a fantastic time.
We would return to this site but I'd be happier to pay a little more if there was a a stricter limit on the amount of tents. But it was a sunny Bank Holiday so can't be surprised really. Great to have fires aswell, there aren't enough sites that allow campfires!

Came in a tent and stayed a week.
Lovely weather. Lovely site. Very nice views all around.
Wing, the accountant, brought over his laptop and showed the kids all the stars.
Nice and simple price list.They just charge by the unit with none of the usual silly extras which will bump up the price.
Shop had milk and sweeties.
The local pub - fantastic- seemingly in the middle of no where down a country footpath. Wing gave us a map.
Cant fault their showers and toilets. Basic, but definitely adequate. There are a couple of family shower/ toilet rooms hidden away from the main loos.
They were really nice.
Quite a few dogs on site, but they all were kept on leads, so that was ok.

Two friends and I have just stayed at this site having already spoken to Wing the site accountant to make sure it was ok for us to arrive on our motorbikes and it was, some sites can be funny about this. I had read some of the negative reviews but felt it was worth the risk as the benefit of having a campfire out weighed the negative comments, and am glad we did stay. This is a great campsite, fantastic location, very friendly, plenty of space, even over Easter with three big fields to choose from. There were several younger groups staying but the owners and Wing do the rounds in the evening making sure that the noise is kept down. The showers were the best I have ever experienced on a UK campsite with plenty of hot water and no queues. Yes the shower block floor gets a little wet at peak times but if you wear flip flops or sandles then this shouldn't be a problem. If you like to camp then this site is for you, if you like and want five star luxury go and book into a hotel. I would and will stay here again.

First time out in a touring caravan.
We chose this site because we came here last year. We had been to another site with no showers and were desperate to have a wash.
Phoned them up and they kindly let us stay for just two nights. On the phone, many of the other campsites in the area wanted a three night minimum stay. I also heard that on some of these other sites, they were really strict about leaving times in the morning.
They have changed the shower and toilets block. Much better that the old ones which we remember from last year. Although, as mentioned, we were after any washing and showering facilities after two days trying to wash in a toilet sink at the previous site
There was plenty of hot water all the time and no queues.
The little shop on site does not sell much, but there is a Waitroise and a Tescos in town.
The lady at reception gave us a nice little map with the pubs and shops on, which I thought was really thoughtful.
I'm also glad I did not book the bank holiday Friday, because the site was starting to fill up with people. Apparently, they get quite busy on bank holidays and booking beforehand for hookups is a good idea.

First visit to this site. It was not very busy so there were no queues for showers and toilets.
We came to this site because we found out that they allow small camp fires. I think all the other ten or so groups that were here also had fires. It was quite a pleasant evening watching the stars through the gentle wood haze.
They don't allow music after dark, so it was not at all noisy - just chatting and laughing until midnight.
Nearest pub was fantastic. They are dog and children friendly. Pub is called the chequers inn.
Showers & Toilets. - Adequate and clean.
Sea view - Fantastic
Going back ? - Yes already booked for the summer

This site has a lot of potential, it's well situated and has large open flat fields and Wing is very helpful even helping late comers pitching their tent in the dark.
However, their web site is a little misleading; there is a large static caravan area that looks residential rather than holiday rental. The shower and toilet facilities are a ramshackle grouping of portable toilet and shower units, the like of which are usually seen at major events and 1 log cabin type building, all of which are so mouldy and dirty. Maybe if they provided bucket and mops people could clean up after themselves.
The other issue that we had was the noise, people rather than the sound of earth moving equipment from the very nearby landfill.
We stayed for 2 nights, the 1st was annoying, very loud group on other side of field but the 2nd night was hell due to a very large mixed group with very loud music screaming and shouting till 3.30 am. Even though the owners apear to live on site, nothing was done until the following morning.
The burger bar type van serving breakfast was different!
