 Great clean site we enjoyed the swimming pool and the showers and toilets immaculate.
Good location for beaches and sightseeing.

Our first time to this site, on arrival our pitch number was changed, my reply was as site was quieter. We pitched up, one of the wardens came up to us and told us, there is a swimming club Monday’s and wed and he would get the families to park away from our pitch.
This was not acted on as I counted 17 vehicles parked some in front of our pitch and other pitches, some of the families crossed the pitches to get to their vehicles. The swimming club times was 5 to 9pm. The showers do get busy as the children have showers after their swim.
The pool is warm and inviting, not massive and annoying when you have people who just want to chat Iand take up half of the width of the pool, if you want to chat keep to the side.
The toilet block was ok but a deeper clean is needed, tithe toilet flush was poor it just did not flush the paper away. I used the cubicle with the sink next to the showers and the water was cold, I hurried to clean my teeth and left. Music is played in the toilets.
The showers are push button you have to keep pressing the button, the water was only warm, you cannot regulate the water. Underfloor heating in the showers did not feel any heat.
The pot wash was good the water very hot and music while you wash the pots.
The shop was quite basic I left my gravy mix at home but unfortunately they did not stock any.
The Bar come restaurant looked ok, we looked at the menu it was very basic, we decided not to eat or drink there.
The site is well kept but our pitch was muddy in hindsight we should of asked for another pitch.
The dog area is a little walk depending where you are pitched. Plenty of room for your dogs to run around.
The Wardens are friendly but very keen on everyone following the rules.
If you have a High vehicle you have to get one of the warden to open the gate, one way in and one way out no coming in or out the wrong way or else you will get told.
There is a little hut where you can find leaflets of the area and takeaway leaflets, you can get your food delivered but they are not allowed on site you have to meet delivery guy at the gate.
Great places to see from the site.

Staff are brilliant and very helpful, great pool and facilities.
The only thing we found are the pitches are very close together.
It was great for young children and very dog friendly.
Excellent days out nearby.

Lovely, clean site. Swimming pool is tired though. It says no groups. But this goes for some and not others. We were told we couldn't pitch up near our friends but then we saw other groups around the site.
It really seemed like it was one rule for one and another rule for others.

Have been here twice. Entrance is a little tricky as it’s just off a dual carriageway. Staff always very helpful and site very clean. Bar is great and good fun ( need to check if open though).
Make sure you check your unit will fit on the pitch. A lot of pitches are quite small and hemmed in. It does say in ts and cs that annexes have to be pre approved for your awning.
I didn’t enjoy it in the school holidays too close to everyone. Couldn’t really hear road noise but the last time that we came the road was extremely busy and put us off going out for the day.
Pool was like a bath but enjoyable. Don’t think we will visit again, only came a second time as it was convenient for friends.

The warden, Rod met us with the friendliest greeting, helped us park the van and even offered us a cable for the hook up of our was too short. When he saw that we had small children he also offered us an alternative pitch, right next to the playground so we could eat h them play.
The site and toilets were spotlessly clean and we booked the pool on arrival. They ate only allowing one family in the pool at a time so we had it to ourselves for the full 45 mins. It's the warmest pool I have ever been in - it felt like a bath.
The toilets are currently unisex which might bother some but this has been done to create a Vivid secure one way system so can't really complain.
Thanks for a fab weekend.

Had a night here when visiting friends nearby. Easy to find - straight off main road, but set back so peaceful. Really easy book in and straight onto grass pitch with electric.
Site is large and open and the toilet/shower facilities are fantastic - really clean and warm. It is the only bathroom I have visited that had a playpen - so that Mother's could visit the loo in peace!
Staff were very helpful - even opening the gate for our elderly visitor who tried to drive out the wrong way!
I would visit again - would love to try the pool etc!

This is a delightful site - a hidden gem within the New Forest. Open all year-bonus as site charges are not expensive Site is off a dual carriageway-a small nuisance for trips out.
Most major hot spots are 1 hour away, but still plenty to do closer to base not to be a huge problem.
Although this is a small site, it more than makes up for it in all other ways.
Toilets & showers are spotless. Pool is heated-so enticing! although the small size could prove a large problem of overcrowding & noise during busy season.
Shop super & not overpriced & the Info hut carries sufficient variety of leaflets to last a month! The Clubhouse is superb, with great entertainment & delicious food-again not overpriced.
Playpark is simple but has all that is needed Pitches are large with EHU & adjacent parking. Not noisy at all. A4 sheet of rules are given for a reason & not unreasonable.
Staff were fantastic, friendly & so helpful(dressed up & joined in the Halloween celebrations!)
Our party was 2 OAP & 2 grandchildren & we all had a fabulous half term break.
Not sure that I should praise it so much - it may be all booked up when we go for a return visit and return we will!.

Good level site, club small but ok, pool clean and warm, staff friendly and shower block in the main ok.
Some toilets didn't flush well.
Seat missing on one and some shower n WC cubicles closed off for no apparent reason.
On the whole a very good site.
Would definitely stay again.

The site was clean and tidy and the staff were very friendly.
Couldn't understand though, why that on the busiest and hottest weekend of the year the bar was shut.

What a great site. The rules & regs seem a bit OTT at first, but they are there to ensure your stay isn't spoilt by inconsiderate campers. The facilities are excellent & the staff very helpful.
The showers are probably the best I've seen, with plenty of hooks to hang your towel/clothes on, a partition between the shower & drying cubicle, and a seat too.
The pool was very warm, with a reasonable-sized area for chairs & tables. We ordered six meals from the bar/restaurant/clubhouse on our last evening, & were pleasantly surprised at the quality & size of the portions, & for a reasonable price too.
As an alternative, there is a pub, The Woodman, 10 minutes walk up the lane where they do 2-for-1 meals. If there is a 'downside' to the site, it is the fact that neighbours tended to walk across your pitch to take short-cuts to the pool & clubhouse.
That said, I thoroughly recommend Shamba Holidays campsite.

An unusual name for a caravan park. Stayed last weekend and enjoyed our stay there. There is an indoor swimming pool which is good. The shower block is very good, clean and very warm which made washing a pleasant experience.
There was what seems to be the obligatory bucket of dirty water and mop, but that was the only downside. Good to see a covered potwash area.
The clubhouse/restaurant was very good, enjoyed a good meal there.

Broke our journey home from France with a 4 night stay here so we could visit family. In the area. We paid 14. 95 per night with camping cheques which was good value. The site has a swimming pool we did not use but it did look inviting. Shower and toilet block warm and with spacious shower cubicles. Disconcerted by male cleaners who do not close the block for cleaning and work around you. Pitches were in 2 large fields with no dividing hedges so there was no sense of having your own space. Loads of rules. Departure time 11am and costs £5 for an extra 2 hours. An ok site for the price we paid but would not have thought the standard rate was good value.
