We have just returned from 5 nights at Lytton Lawn. We had a super half term break with lovely weather. The site was full but the facilities never felt overcrowded. This was our 5th visit.
Unfortunately now at £50 a night for a small serviced pitch, we won't be able to afford to return. It has gone from being an affordable decent site, to pricing itself out of our price range, with no discernible upgrade in facilities.
First impression were good, very friendly welcome by wardens and site not too crowded. However pitching was nor the easiest as most of the grass pitches slope and we needed both ramps under caravan wheel to get level, some of the more expensive pitches were more on the level but to be honest the grass pitch was expensive enough. Also a very busy road is just the other site of the boundary fence so from 6:30 in the morning to late at night the traffic noise was very noticeable.
Toilet block and showers were kept clean, the actual showers were really good (no silly push buttons and plenty of hot water through a big shower head).
There was a good shop on site but Lidle and Tesco were just up the road if you want more choice.
Great walk to Lymington through the nature reserve and good cycle routes through Christchurch and on to Bounemouth.
Ate in the Smugglers in Milton on Sea which was fine.
The access to the pool and Spa facilities on the sister site a couple of miles up the road was a bonus as the pool etc. Were very modern and clean. What really let it down at the end of the stay was what we can only consider as a jobs-worth attitude. We were due to leave on the Sunday morning as pitches need to be vacated by 10:00am (a little early we thought anyway) so I enquired about a late departure as the weather was very good and 17:00 would have suited us better. We were initially told we could pay for a half day which was reasonable only then to be told that there was someone due on our pitch so we couldn’t stay any later then 11:00am. This seemed a bit unreasonable as the site virtually emptied (being the end of the Easter week break) leaving lots of grass pitches all around the pitch we were told to vacate. I our opinion the warden could have been a bit more flexible in allocating the new visitor to an adjacent pitch.
Although Litton Lawn had some good points, due to the road noise, sloping site and attitude of the particular warden we won’t be back. Shame really as the two previous sites on our Easter touring break were first rate.
We visited the site for the weekend and were blessed with good weather for our stay. When we arrived we were allocated a pitch in the area to the left of reception, we were quite surprised to see that this area was already full apart from our pitch however, being February it was still pretty quiet with mostly older couples visiting.
The site itself is tidy with level pitches, clean facilities and decent showers, the people in reception were friendly and helpful and there is information available for anyone wishing to go site seeing in the area.
Dogs are welcome on the site and there is plenty of walking off of the site, whilst visiting we walked down to Keyhaven and took the ferry over to Hurst Castle (both also dog friendly) then walked back into Milford on Sea for dinner at the Smugglers Inn, we have visited this pub twice and both times the food has been very enjoyable.
For us, this site is great for the winter months as the prices are low and it is nice and quiet, we will definitely be going back next year.
I was really looking forward to staying at this site, having read the Shorefields brochures and scrutinised their website. I was expecting an upmarket site but after a very friendly welcome, found the site to be a bit tatty and forlorn. Our pitch was right in a corner under tall trees and felt dark and depressing. The grass area alongside was unkempt and full of weeds and didn't feel cared for at all.
The facilities block was fine, if a little dated, but very warm with plenty of hot water and free hairdryers etc.
We cycled down to Keyhaven which was quite attractive and rode round to Milford on Sea, which seemed to offer a good variety of things (except bananas!) and we were told the fish and chip shop had closed down.
On the plus side we walked up to Everton village centre and had a meal in the Crown Inn. It was a Sunday evening and we thought that like most pubs they wouldn't be serving meals. However, what we had was absolutely wonderful tasty home cooked food and homemade desserts. The barlady/waitress was really friendly and the chef also came out for a nice chat too. Top class!
We also visited Hurst Castle by walking most of the way along the spit. It didn't look too welcoming but it was fascinating. For someone not remotely interested in history or militaria, I thought it was brilliant. A nice bacon baguette in the café too and we took the opportunity of rounding off the day with a nice ferry trip back to Keyhaven.
This campsite has very good reviews and I don't want to spoil that, but it just wasn't my type of site being very much like a supermarket car park with caravans (mainly) parked in rows next to each other with just enough space in between to squeeze in an awning and possibly a car. The view from anywhere on the park was basically rows of caravans. Perhaps it didn't help that there was a caravan club meet in progress while I was there but due to how the pitches are positioned it would be pretty much the same at any busy time.
A previous reviewer mentioned views of the Isle of Wight and the Needles through the trees but at this time of year the trees were fully leaved and the field beyond contained tall corn so, in effect, there was no view. Except caravans!
The pitch I was initially allocated was slightly more sloping than the rest of the park, right underneath large trees, and quite damp under foot despite there having been little rain recently. However, on the plus side the warden on duty was extremely kind and helpful (and tolerant) and gave me a map of the site with a choice of available pitches. These were mostly along the edges of the park with one stuck right in the middle of the caravans next to the toilet block which would have meant a procession of campers passing across the pitch to get to the loos. There was just one pitch available that I felt was reasonable. Fairly flat and not quite right under the trees. Fortunate because I was just about ready to go home by that stage.
On the plus side, as mentioned, all the wardens were very nice and happy to have a chat which made for a pleasant atmosphere. There was a small shop for those forgotten items and importantly for many people, the washroom and toilet facilities were quite modern and spotlessly clean. Despite my comments above, if you don't mind regimented sites, this site was pretty nice and a good base for touring but perhaps not too tent orientated.
Beyond the site itself, there was a bus stop right outside but as far as I could tell (never could get to grips with timetables) the buses were infrequent. It is a fairly flat walk on pavement to the town and takes about 20 minutes. Beware that in places due to unkempt hedgerows, the pavement is narrow and traffic is fast. Keep your elbows in or risk a swipe with a wing mirror!
I was not too impressed with Milford itself. There were a couple of posh looking restaurants which one would feel embarrassed walking into with jeans and 't' shirt and the 3 pubs were not all that welcoming. Perhaps the best (and the cheapest since the price of a pint varied dramatically in each) was the Smugglers Inn. I never saw the highly recommended fish and chip shop open when I was there so on this occasion I made do with sandwiches from the little Co-op store which stayed open until 10. 00pm.
The highlight of my stay was the walk to Hurst Castle along the shingle spit early one morning (about an hour). Only to find it closed when I arrived. It opens at 10. 30am and I was too early but I couldn't be bothered to wait as from outside it was more like a WW2 fort than a castle and I decided to save my £4. 50 entrance fee (for more sandwiches). Good views across to the Isle of Wight at that point though.
Although I have lived in Hampshire for many years I had not been to Milford on Sea for many more years and I had an enjoyable couple of days, but not an experience I would want to repeat. But as I said at the beginning. These are personal views and others may well find the campsite and the area much more inviting.
A peaceful well run campsite, ideal for a relaxing holiday. At Lytton Lawn you are given a very warm welcome from the friendly wardens. On site, the toilet blocks are kept to a high standard. There is a well-stocked shop, and fresh bread and newspapers can be ordered daily. The surrounding area is well worth exploring.
After finally getting the tow bar fitted to the car we decided to have a weekend here. We have been visiting Milford on Sea for many years, and this year have done 'ice cream at the seaside a month', driving past the site on our way.
It was dark on arrival. Access road is easier than google street view gives credit for. We had a friendly welcome and were shown to our pitch by the warden, who also pointed out the facilities. The only downside is the lead into the the pitch is narrow as it was designed for narrower caravans, so one wheel was on the grass, it being sodden made a track. We use the mover to prevent damage to pitches by the car, so was disappointed to leave a mark.
The pitch was fully serviced, easy to hook up and attach water hose and drainage pipe into the pitch drain. Nicely sheltered by the hedge to 2 sides of the pitch.
Being winter, the games room was closed. But we were happy to walk round the site in the bracing wind.
We visited the sister facility and used the swimming pool for our daughter.
We had fish and chips for a late lunch, followed by an ice cream as we walked along the sea front at Milford on Sea on the Saturday.
Toilet blocks were warm and spotless. The chemical disposal point was easy to use.
We are deciding if Xmas is here or a sister site. We will use this site again, especially off season.
We have been coming to this site for many years and love the friendly staff and spotless shower facilities. The price is very reasonable and you could not fault the location, within easy reach of Christchurch, Bournemouth, Poole etc. And a lot of great places of interest, e. G. Hurst Castle. You can actually see the Isle of Wight from the site!
The village of Milford on Sea is just 20 mins walk away with a great Thai and Indian restaurant, plus at least 2 pubs. If staying at Lytton Lawn you still have the choice to visit the local Shorefield site with swimming bath etc. The shop is small but sells all the basics. We really cannot praise this site and location enough.
Over the past 5 years we have been quite picky when choosing a campsite. We were not disappointed with Lytton Lawn.
We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and were greeted with a warm welcome from the receptionist. The receptionist was very helpful and polite and answered all of our question concerning the camp site and the local area.
The pitch itself (248) was a stones throw away from the toilets and shower block. As the campsite is on a hill side the pitch was on a gentle incline. At first we thought as this being a problem but it was not, the view itself was looking out beyond the trees to see the Needles (Isle Of Wight), what more could we ask for?
Sunday as forecast the heavens opened (all day rain, YAY!) along with strong winds. The campsite is tree lined and as I mentioned the incline was a bonus as the rain did not leave any puddles or wet patches. There are supermarkets and branded shops within 4 miles of the campsite (Milford On Sea, Lymington & Everton).
So we have a dry site that is protected by trees when the coastal wind gets up and rolling. The facilities were good. We did use the sister site for use of the pool for free, there are other amenities at this site although we did not use them. Our youngest loved the pool although one day the chlorine levels were a little too high. The pool is opened to adults until 10pm and children are allowed to swim until about 9. 15. We opted to use the pool in the evening as it does get busy during peak times as numbers are limited for H&S reasons. The changing facilities were very good.
The shop holds quite a decent stock of the essentials including newspapers and magazines, the prices are very reasonable. The staff are very helpful and polite too.
As we are quite picky, the showers and toilets are always top of our agenda for being clean with plenty of hot water on tap. The block is a little dated but cleaned regulary (could do with new tiles), not sure of the ladies block but the men's block greeted you with the radio playing in the back ground.
We found lots to do within the immediate area and within a 90 minute drive, we found one of the UK's beauty spots : Lolworth Cove is a must, its about 38 miles from the site but well worth a visit, the area is just divine. If you love rolling hills and stunning scenery, you will not be disappointed. The sea at the time was quite cold but very clear, although you will need shoes to walk into the sea because it is not a sandy beach. Durdle Door is just a short walk away, or take a trip in the rib that operates from the cove. Bournemouth needs a day, highlight of the day was the Pier Zip wire, book online to save a few pounds. The beach here is very sandy, parking is very and not pricey. We parked along the cliff line and took the cable car down to the beach. If you can, try and visit the New Forest Country Show in July, it really is a day out for the family, as is viewing the New Forest for the country and the ponies.
Mr Pinks fish and chip shop (Milford On Sea) sell good fish and chips, but they close at 8. 30pm.
There is a small park for under 10s and a games room with wifi, I didn't use the wifi as 3G is easily available. This site is dog friendly but we chose to leave our two BTs in kennels for the week due to the travelling, there are lots of walks and a dog field too.
With Poole, Southampton, Portsmouth and the Isle Of Wight close by we felt we should of taken a 14 day holiday instead of 7 days. There is much to do and see and will return to the area next year but will camp in Dorset but around Bridport, we would like to see more of Dorset.
In all we would return to the park and would recommend it to anyone.
The only downside that annoyed us was the repetitive noise of DnB playing a little too loud on two occasions, this was soon sorted by the on site park warden.
BTW I did read reviews of this site and noticed that one or two people both on UKcampsite and FB rated it one star, its clearly a 8 or 9 star campsite. To make the campsite a 10 star site, I think the price could be a bit cheaper and the toilet/showers refurbished.
We booked into this site for our sons first camping experience and were not disappointed. The site was easy to find and in a great location. The pitches were a lovely large size and were well maintained and perfect for pitching a tent. The toilet blocks were always clean and the showers hot and there was never a wait, even at busy times.
The shop was small but stocked the essentials and the games room was good fun with table football and a nice big TV showing the tennis. Just outside the games room was a big children's climbing frame.
Lots of good walks locally and a short drive to the small local town.
We were worried about getting a small child to sleep when in a tent but the site was always quiet by evening so we had no worries at all.
We have just returned from 5 days at this site. We went with some trepidation as it was part of a larger company but I am completely bowled over. The site was attractively laid out, we had a fully serviced pitch that was cheaper than we were quoted locally for a straight grass pitch with electrics. The site shop is useful if a little limited but there is a Waitrose on the edge of Lymington for extra goodies. The facilities are excellent and clean. There is some noise from a road at the side of the site but it did not spoil the experience.
Staff were really friendly and there were few unnecessary rules although I feel sure they would have dealt with any issues where it needed. The 10. 00am leaving time could be an issue for families - we were away by 9. 00 having put away the awning the previous evening.
It makes a super centre for seeing the area which is a hidden gem. We had trips to Keyhaven, Lymington, Milford and along the coast to Mudeford as well as a lovely day at Bucklers Hard. Looking forward to our next trip. Assume it may be crowded in the school holidays. They offer free use of the swimming pool at their other site which we did not use but feel it is a generous extra.
This was our first stay at Lytton Lawn and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We had a fully serviced pitch (413) and were disappointed that we couldn't get the caravan level. The tarmac was just about wide enough but it sloped quite a bit from about half way along. We'd bought an aquaroll mains kit but it wasn't long enough. As we'd already set up the rest of the caravan we didn't bother trying to move closer and made do with having our own personal tap.
The site is nicely laid out with very clean facilities. We enjoyed the table tennis by the first shower block and the games room containing a grabber machine, air hockey, pool table and table football. This was also the free Wifi area which my daughter used several times a day. The play area was very popular. The dog field is a reasonable size with room to let your dog off the lead for a run. Next to this a field for children/adults to play ball games etc although I think most children were playing close to their units and as the site wasn't too full this didn't cause a problem.
There is road noise during the day but its not so loud that you can't enjoy birdsong and nighttime was very quiet. We occasionally took our dog for a walk along the lanes close by - my husband found a footpath which we will investigate next time we go. We were given passes to the other Shorefield sites but we didn't need to use these as we had plenty to keep us occupied on site and close by. All in all a very pleasant site.
This is the third time we have stayed at Lytton Lawn and we have already booked again for later in the year. It is very convenient for cliff top walks with views over to the Isle of Wight and trips into the New Forest. There is a small playground for younger children and a small games room for older ones. However you also get membership to use the facilities at Shorefield Main site which includes a bar, restaurant and indoor heated swimming pool. The site at Lytton Lawn is kept clean and tidy, and there is an area to exercise dogs. There are two shower/toilet blocks which are lovely and warm when camping out of season, and are very clean. They also provide a hairdryer. WIFI is available free of charge near to the games room. It is definitely a favourite of ours when visiting the area.
Just got back from a couple of days on this campsite which is part of the Shorefield family of parks. We booked on spec on the morning (12th) and were there within 5 hours. However, there was a computer glitch on our arrival and so luckily I had the email confirmation sent! We were directed via map to the pitch which was pretty straightforward. Unfortunately we caught a shower as we were laying down the ground sheet :-(
The pitch was a fair size with electrical hook up (no 236). We got our Quecha 4. 2 XL illumin plus Quecha Pop Up 2 secs with people carrier and place to put our cooking with a tarp if needed. We were a bit adamant about pitching under a tree as it was pretty blustery so all guy ropes out!
The facilities toilet block etc were clean and good and the water very warm (need to be careful with smaller children). The playground was a little small but there is a big playing field next to the dog walking field. Lots of bikes and scooters showing the family friendly nature of the place.
This is a family friendly/dog friendly park and so those who may wish for another camping experience might not be the first option. The access to the New Forest was great. Smugglers Inn pub was a popular place to eat and a good experience. The Royal Oak pub was however disappointing from our experience. This was compensated by a Chinese take away in nearby Hordle village!
My only criticism was that access to the toilet blocks need to be considered with a pathway from the field side as people rightly did not wish to have people trapsing across their pitch and it was a long walk around if you were in a hurry! A designated path might be a good thing here.
Also in having Leisure passes for Shorefield was a great touch, however there was a 40min wait for using the swimming pool due to demand especially around 4pm. This might need to be reconsidered by the management around peak time.
All in all a positive experience and we would stay again.
Now onto the next site after a brief pit stop at home!

We have just returned from 5 nights at Lytton Lawn. We had a super half term break with lovely weather. The site was full but the facilities never felt overcrowded. This was our 5th visit.
