Loved this site. Very friendly staff. Three areas to choose from. We stayed in adult only area around the lake that allows dogs. We did not have a dog but chose this area as we had just lost our dog of 17. Found it very quiet with no sighting of the drunken oafs another reviewer mentioned. First class toilet blocks, very clean and welcoming. Papers and freshly baked items can be ordered before six o clock the night before. Not the best tv reception but not a problem. Close to Salisbury which is lovely and other smaller villages/towns. Would visit again!
Decided on a spur of the moment trip, struggled to find somewhere at this time of year in the area near Southampton suitable for our needs (travelling with two dogs, so wanted good walking area). Phoned a couple of Caravan Club CL sites and very disappointed until we phoned Green Hill, what a lovely, accommodating warm reception, booked for 2 nights (2 & 3 Jan '15) - arrived later than anticipated (4. 30pm ish) again lovely warm welcome on arrival, allocated a pitch but told we could set up on any of the adjacent ones, which we chose to do (they had been full over Christmas and New Year). Shower / toilet blocks, clean and warm, small site shop seemed to have most things (grateful they had milk!). Dog walking really good for us, woodland walk on site on lead but access to New Forest common which was lovely. Very wet during our stay but that was fine as geared up for it. Will be back (taking fishing rods!) as such a lovely welcome.
We have come to this site reguarly during the October half term, to enjoy the great fishing, even my 11yr old daughter loves going up to the lake and having a go, we have such a good time we thought we would try Christmas in the caravan, couldn't fault it, the staff were outstanding, the facilities were warm, welcoming and clean. We booked to go back this year.
First visit to this site, and we stayed in the adults only section with a lakeside hard-standing pitch but as we hardly ever review sites we felt that the following observations needed to be said.
1st. Good points:
Friendly staff
Nice area
Well laid out site
Good dog walks
Good location for direct access to the New Forest
No road noise
2nd. Not so good points:
Not that quiet on weekends
Loud fishermen
Drunken oafs unaware or not caring that sound travels over water
Showers too high to be effective
Mud on gents shower floor, obviously people either too stupid or too lazy to use mops provided.
So if you want a quiet peaceful site look elsewhere, if you want to hear the ins and outs of drunken fishermen. This is right up your street.
First time at this site and quite impressed, one of our family booked a hardstanding in the family area and later I tried to book for my daughter and her family and for my wife and i. We finished up in three separate locations, family field, Adults only and camping field. Not their fault but they did try to get us all together.
Nice site but despite awards for the toilets the soap containers in the ladies emptied on the first day (of 6) and were not refilled.
In the gents the floors were always filthy with dirt/mud from peoples shoes, a mop was provided but no-one seemed to use it however for the time of year I think someone could have been on hand to give it a mop over now and again. Incidentally we didn't experience the same issues in the adult only area so it was probably the youngsters leaving the mess but I would say that.
The grandchildren enjoyed the big open spaces to fly kites and the swings etc were in good condition. Most of the children we saw were very impressed with the zip wire, it was constantly on the go.
Nice pubs down the road aways, but no, it isn't really in walking distance.
It was quiet however I don't know what they would have done if someone was being a nuisance.
All in all I would stay there again and would be happy to suggest it to others.
Nice site good idea to divide areas to family, adults with dogs and adults without dogs, we are not anti children but we have 2 very excitable dogs who would be bouncing all day with children running around.
The toilet/shower block in the adult with dogs area were excellent and very clean.
There are hard standing and grass pitches available we were there on the 2 hottest and driest weeks of the year so far so we were very glad of the grass pitch.
Friendly staff
Not so good points -
Very overpriced
The areas surrounding all of the 3 lakes were covered in Canada goose faeces, we had to change our booking shortly before our holiday we were initially booked lakeside but lost that pitch - so glad we did!
The site is quite isolated the nearest pub is 1 mile away, the nearest shop is over a mile. No village within walking distance.
We were charged more than the price quoted on the sites own website, we even brought a print out but we were told the price they were asking for was correct. How can you argue when it's 29 degrees you have 2 dogs in the car and you have just arrived after a 5 hour journey and nowhere else to go?
We have just returned from our 3rd visit to Greenhill Farm Campsite. We love it here!
First time was August 2013 in our 8mx5m tent on elec hookup. Ground was a tad hard in places despite it being grass. Even the rock pegs in places couldn't go in very far but it all worked out fine.
2nd and 3rd times were in our Pennine Sterling FC. One in the family elec hookup again and the other just for the wife and myself in the Adult section. That was perfect. We walked around the site previously picking out exactly where we wanted to be. Booking 3 months in advance meant we could do that. Pitched right next to the lake (although we are not the fishing type), it was just beautiful waking up and having breakfast in the sun beside the lake.
The kids playground is very well maintained and all the times we were there it was clean too. The clubhouse is basic but welcoming. They have different activities on different nights like games, quiz night and I think karaoke. (based upon seeing equipment but not actually hearing fellow campers tuneful voices!)
They won an award for the 'best loo' and its well deserved too, as the shower blocks are very new, very clean and well equipped. The family bathroom is well worth the money especially if you have younger children. A shower, a split level bath and 2 toilets means money well spent. Piped through all the blocks in local radio Wave105 so if you have to nip out the middle of the night, its not deathly quiet in there!
Speed by vehicles is kept to 1st gear only thereby keeping the roads safe for kids to walk and ride bikes on. The tarmac is ultra smooth so its great to learn to ride for the younger ones!
The fishing (I'm told) is good here but since we don't fish, I cant really say other that what I've heard.
Dogs welcome. We have a springer, been on 2 of the 3 times and never had problems.
Nice walk out around the site and the far lakes, you can also walk onto the new forest plains from the rear of the site.
They have a couple of rally fields and Golden Meadow, the normal camping field is sloping in places. Some of this area also has elec hookup. I don't recall specific pitch lines here so you can pitch your tents more sociably especially if you go with several families to have a central seating/eating area. The adult section and the lower hard standing pitches are more strictly laid out with lines.
There are plenty of waste/grey waste areas to dispose of your rubbish and water, plus ample outlets of drinking water.
Site location? Depending on what you are looking for really. If you just want to stick around for a few days to chill out then its not an issue. Its situated on the north side of the A31 just off the A36. Most of what you see in the tourist info about the forest tends to be on the south side of the A31 so you will need to drive a bit to get to those areas. If its just a base for touring, then its well connected by being 15mins drive or so from the M27. But it is very peaceful there and although its a really big site, where its broken up by trees, buildings, fences etc it just doesn't seem like you are all on top of each other.
As its open all year round, there are quite a number of caravans using the seasonal pitch option.
Staff wise, very friendly and knowledgeable.
Overall I would recommend this whole heartedly.
I have given this a pretty high rating as over 3 visits we have seen it improve every time.
We stayed for two nights whilst on the way to the isle of white, we found the shop to be very expensive and limited, the site was very clean and the staff were very nice, great area, the fishing was very good although the staff didn't seem very clued up on fishing with no rules issued, so to sum up a nice site but in my opinion very expensive with the fishing it worked out to be 32. 50 a night with no entertainment or bar (they opened the next week). Would I stay again personally only for a night if I was desperate.
Just had a 2 night break at this site and can say that WE will visit again. If you want peace and quiet down by the lakes this is for you. If you are a family with children the site has great area's for families to camp and the children to unwind. Plenty of walks close by and a nice walk on site right around the camp. Dogs are even welcome too !
What is not to like ?? We had a huge pitch more than amble for our tent and car right by the lakeside in the adults only section. Great idea but adults snore and we found ourselves located between 2 walruses ! Take ear plugs next time !
The facilities were more than adequate and plenty of hot water in a really warm and clean toilet/shower unit. Did not use the on-site bar area but what we saw looked really good and was being well used by other punters on the site.
Overall highly recommended and ideal for Salisbury, Stone-Henge, The New Forest, Southampton and Portsmouth.
Just back from a 2 night stay. First impressions were not good. Waited nearly half an hour to get our pitch sorted out, as someone was still on ours. When we eventually got one sorted, we had a tent pitched right at the back of our motorhome. It was just a mish mash of tents, motorhomes and caravans with very little space between. This is a site which allows dogs, which is normally not a problem for us but this site was more like a kennel yard with dogs barking and running loose. We went to get a take away which this site offers and the food was pretty awful. Sorry but wont be returning to this site
We visited for 5 nights with our 2 berth caravan and awning, 2 adults and 2 small dogs, staying in the adult only part of the site. Positives include the location, perfect for the New Forest and seeing our relatives in Salisbury. The toilet blocks were modern and very clean. There were many walks round the site to take the dogs, wooded and grass. You can also access the New Forest itself from the site for longer walks. The information cabin had good maps and the usual leaflets. Sadly we had several disappointing niggles about the site which would probably mean we won't be back as there are plenty of other better sites around for the price. Our welcome was quite brisk, we weren't shown to our pitch, just given a map with no instructions on how to align the caravan. In contrast to other reviewers, we hardly ever saw members of staff around, except in reception. Our pitch was very small. I don't ever recall one so packed in. By the time the awning was up, the car crammed in beside it, we were left with a very small stony place to sit and to tether the dogs, in hot sun. There were bigger pitches but most seemed occupied with seasonal pitches. On Friday night a very large party of young adults camped on the grass quite close to us. They were very noisy, obviously had no idea of how sound carries in the open and in tents. They also had no idea how to use a mop in the showers. They would have been much better pitched in one of the large camping fields. The gate to access the adult part of the campsite had to be opened by hand which was a minor inconvenience. There were no recycling bins in the adult only site. Plastic flowers in hanging baskets finished off the feeling this site was run as a business by employed staff rather than as a family concern. On leaving, we had to return the gate key to get our deposit back. A young man on duty has having problems with the computer and my presence was not acknowledged for about 10 minutes. When I finally gave him my key, my name apparently didn't match with their records and he implied quite rudely that I'd picked up someone else's. After much confusion he reckoned I'd been given the wrong key at the start of the holiday. 15 minutes later we were able to leave. All small niggles, but they added up to a disappointing site for the money albeit in a perfect location.
We chose Green Hill Farm from a supplement that come with Practical Caravan Magazine 'Top 100 Sites Guide 2014' for the first week of the Easter Holidays as we were looking for a site that had a good play park and somewhere for the boys to kick a football about without getting told off!
Between us we had three adults five children ages 15, 14, 10, 10 & 5 and a dog! We booked two hard-standing pitches for our caravans (7. 2m long) they fitted well and we also put up awnings.
The site was perfect in front of our pitches we could see the children's park and zip wire and in the distance the football pitch, the toilet and shower block was lovely and clean with plenty of hot water, we hired the key (£10.00 deposit) for family bathroom beautifully thought out age appropriate toilets with a small bath and shower cubicle and it was kept lovely and warm!
There was a club house which wasn't open when we were there so can't comment.
Lovely dog walk around the site past the fishing lake and you can go through a gate into the New Forest.
Site Owner (Lorna) was always around very helpful and pleasant, also they cook Pain au Choc-lat and Croissant which you order the day before which were delicious!
We have spent 3 nights here and were delighted to find that our pitch was beside one of the lakes where we could watch the ducks, geese and moorhens morning, noon and night. This area is for adults only ( ideal for us). There are plenty of trees and the whole area is relaxing and peaceful. This is a well- thought out site with a clearly defined family area. We had to drive through this and we also walked around the site via this circular route. The play area was well-constructed and appeared safe- it was fenced off from the driveway too. The staff were very much in evidence during the day and seem to be engaged in maintaining a good environment for everyone as well as developing new facilities. There is a parking area by the main gate which is ideal if you have visitors or are just popping back to the site for a short time. It was very quiet at night and a lovely place to wake up to in the morning. As well as the shop in reception there is an information point/ reading area which has a supply of books ( to borrow ) and leaflets and information on things to do. Overall, this was a very enjoyable break and we would like to return some time in the future.
We have just returned from Green hill Farm - The main purpose of our visit was to take our 2 small children to Peppa Pig World and this campsite fitted the location perfectly not just for Paultons Park (10 minutes drive away) but also other family attractions within a good hour and a half drive. So location scores highly.
The site itself is lovely, and I would recommend it- but with a few observations.
The site itself has two sections a family area and a adult only section. And when they say adult only, they mean it. We could not even enter with our children to go on a walk around the site. The reason we were told, was because of the two fishing lakes that were located on this area. I have to say I did find this a little bit of a rubbish excuse, as parents are we not able to be responsible for keeping our children safe?
And the adults entering this secluded spot had to drive through the family area to get to their child free haven. We were trusted to keep our children safe by the road but not by the water, or maybe I'm being silly?
The family area was split into different areas. The main lower site was were we were sited not quite but very nearly opposite the play area. We felt this area fitted the bill perfectly for older children. We have a 5 year old and a 3 year old and the area in the evening was far from quiet, the older children - quite rightly - were having a great time playing on the park or playing tig, but when we were trying to settle toddlers this wasn't fun for us. Likewise in the morning, when you have early risers versus the teenage sleepers, we were aware that we were making the noise in the morning, so that being said we would ask to be pitched on the Top camping field which did have electrics and was not in the thick of the central play area if we returned.
The play area is terrific and fitted the needs of a variety of ages, a play house, swings and a fabulous zip wire were some of the attractions.
The facilities were also great, a family bathroom is available for a deposit for the key and that was a great help. The club house is quaint and has fun evenings on, games night bingo etc and you could buy take aways if required.
We would return to Green Hill but definitely would ask to be off the main Family field. All our families are different I appreciate that, but for us a quieter pitch would have made it perfect. To be fair to the Wardens if we had asked to move then we got the impression that this would have been acceptable, we only queried the other spots after having a wander round the site on day 2 and the thought of striking camp and pitching again was too daunting a task. So when we asked for future reference what the name of the are was we had chance to explain it wasn't that ideal for us. We could have easily stayed another week there is so much to do in this area, and the countryside is just beautiful.
Booked 4 nights but only stayed 3. Asked for a pitch overlooking lake as our dogs relax more if they don't have people walking back and for constantly. Didn't get one sadly. Consequently, youngest dog was spooked by everyone. Stayed in tent with 3 border collies. Have stayed before, last year. Kept our dogs tethered/on lead as requested. Disappointed that a group arrived on our 3rd day with a spaniel who was left to run free. Also, were very noisy until early hours. Very disappointing when we tried so hard to keep our dogs quiet. Did inform reception when we left a day early and got an apology but it spoiled our trip.
New facilities being built in adult section will be most welcome when open.
Direct access to common via a dog walk
Lovely spot, nice open fields for free style camping. Family area looked quite congested this time.
Paid extra for taking two cars even though we parked both on our pitch. Bit disappointed this time.

Loved this site. Very friendly staff. Three areas to choose from. We stayed in adult only area around the lake that allows dogs. We did not have a dog but chose this area as we had just lost our dog of 17. Found it very quiet with no sighting of the drunken oafs another reviewer mentioned. First class toilet blocks, very clean and welcoming. Papers and freshly baked items can be ordered before six o clock the night before. Not the best tv reception but not a problem. Close to Salisbury which is lovely and other smaller villages/towns. Would visit again!
