A very busy weekend. This site can cope as it has huge flat open fields. It is ideal for families and large groups. However the toilet facilities were stretched, could do with a makeover and more regular cleaning at these busy times.
There is some hard standing pitches but electrics also available on some grass pitches. The staff were very friendly and the site has a really relaxed feel.
We have noticed campers like lighting camp fires these days but the site security did walk around and keep an eye on them. Cafe on site enjoyed great breakfast butties.
Walks straight on to coastal footpaths and around the wetlands. About 35 mins walk to Lymington.
This is the second time I’ve stayed here, it’s a great site and the staff are really helpful.
Toilets and showers are always being cleaned and would like to thank the cleaners for always keeping on top of it 👌 great little shop on site for breakfast and other bits.
Camp fires 🔥 are allowed all in all we had a great time will definitely be going back 👍
Very relaxing and joyous stay. We arrived quite late in the evening after the office were closed but luckily the security guards 'sam & david' were there to help direct us to the best place to pitch and held torches to help us, so polite and friendly.
We called upon them again when there was a little noisy group to our left and they politely dealt with it swiftly, very impressed.
The toilet blocks were very clean and tidy which is a plus at the moment with the covid going on.
Once Coronavirus restrictions were lifted I took the opportunity to take a trip to the coast to visit this great site, which I've visited before so knew it would be great
Lovely large flat field, you can pitch whereever you like. Campfires allowed!
Good showers and toilet facilities which were very clean. Hand sanitiser provided and social distancing observed.
Had a couple of wonderful walks again - straight from the campsite - first to Keyhaven, next to Hurst castle, then the next day down to Lymington, going the other way down the coast.
Nice meal and drinks in the Chequers Pub, about a 10 - 15 minute off road walk.
The toilet and shower facilities were not very clean or well maintained! There was no attempt at social distancing within the block. There were also a lot of teenage groups getting very drunk and not social distancing.
Otherwise the campsite was fine! A field to pitch a tent in! via mobile
This is quite possibly my 20th visit to Hurst view so I thought it was about time I wrote a review. I first visited some years ago and it still has the same calming effect now as it always has.
I’ve camped in tents, trailer tents and folding campers at Hurst view and also stayed from chilly spring weekends to awesome Halloween/ Guy Fawkes nights.
As a family of 8 with children’s ages ranging from 2 years to 22 years I can honestly say that Hurst view and its wonderful staff has always had us wanting to return. We’ve had friends and family stay and camp with us many times and all of them have loved it there.
The atmosphere on site is very relaxed, just a few common sense rules to follow which gladly are almost always adhered to. You can have fires, have fun, make noise, bbq, play music, laugh loud and camp in large groups with no problems. When the sun goes down so does the music which means it’s time to relax by the campfire with a drink, tell stories and respect that other people are ready for their rest. Friendly on site security patrol to make sure this is possible and after dark the only noises are laughter and crackling fires.
I would recommend Hurst view to families with children of all ages, but especially kids who enjoy being outside playing games, crabbing at the beach or cycling and walking the many miles of lovely scenery. There is lots of room and you will always have plenty of space.
Social distancing is working very well and with a little patience everyone will get what they need. I can honestly say I haven’t queued once all weekend for anything on site.
I already have another two weekends booked this summer and can’t wait to come again. via mobile
I have stayed here a few times and will keep coming back as this site is great.
You can read my review below for more detail on the sites location, things to do etc. They were as efficient as always when it came to responding to the booking enquiry and confirmed teh cost is stil £10 per person per night regardless of unit type.
This update is for how they are handling things during the easing of lockdown.
Upon arrival they had the spacing at reception and glass screens to protect both sides.
The facilities were kept wonderfully clean with plenty of hand san points on them. I cannot complain about what they have done and I felt safe and happy using the toilets, showers, washing up etc.
The Chequers Pub up the road is open and again following strict CV rules and had their full range of drinks available and provided table service outside.
A great site, very relaxed and I will return time and time again as I love the location and site.
We stayed in a static caravan so didn’t need to use the campsite facilities which seemed basic but good. The location was superb, We walked up to the sea wall early every morning to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Isle of Wight and to look at the Canadian geese, Egrets and other birds on the marshes. Stunning scenery we thought. We then cycled along the sea wall most days, to Keyhaven in one direction and to Lymington in the other direction.
We loved the simplicity of the stay, no one disturbed us and it was so peaceful. The caravan furniture does need some updating but that didn’t actually bother us as everything was so clean and there was more than enough storage for the 2 of us. When we found an issue with our caravan, we reported it and it was dealt with immediately with no fuss at all. There was a riendly service at reception.
We would definitively stay at this campsite again and would highly recommend it to others as providing a tranquil base from which to explore a beautiful coastline on foot or bicycle.
Had a couple of nights here as I fancied being near the sea. Although there are no sea views from the pitches themselves, the coastline is very close, and you can smell the sea, with a vast nature reserves all around the site.
Small shop with logs, ice and basics for sale. Campfires allowed. Huge open fields, where you can pitch where you like (assuming you don't want hookup)
Toilets and shower blocks were clean, and with hot water.
Site owner was a brilliant character, very friendly and dare I say, a little eccentric. Loved him.
Fantastic walks direct from the site - you can walk for miles along the coast and through the nature reserves in either direction. We did a couple of walks, one to Lymington, and one to Hurst castle.
Good pub about a 15 minute walk, which we used for beers and delicious Sunday Roast!
Highly recommended, and only cost £10 for me and my dog in a campervan. Will definitely be back to this site
We thought Lymington would be a great place to bring our boat and was initially attracted to Hurst View because there was no extra charge for a second car with boat trailer and it's close proximity to the coastal path and Lymington's public slipway. The site was well signposted and accessible with no narrow lanes to negotiate, we just followed our SatNav straight there.
Hurst View consists of three fields. The main field closest to the shower block has electric hookups around the perimeter and a number of hardstandings. The hookup points have four sockets each providing power to those who want to pitch in the middle where there are no markings hence allowing you extra room should you need it.
The lower camping field has a gate to a public car park and coastal paths for dog walking. All are very flat. You just pitch where you want (weekday) or where you can find space (weekend). The only marked pitches are the hardstandings.
This site is very popular at weekends! I estimate a ratio of 8:1 tents vs caravans/motorhomes. When we arrived we were given a choice of hardstandings and were not limited in the direction we could point, unfortunately we were adjacent to the toilets and entrance and we couldn't stand the traffic, both cars and people.
The site owners were extremely accommodating and we were able to move to a spot in the lower field (we kept our mains hookup by using multiple cables). The free WiFi was very good, there's a large centrally situated transmitter but performance drops off around the field perimeters and when the site is very busy. 02 phone reception was poor and barely usable.
There are security persons with high-vis who come around after dark at the weekend to ensure everything settles down in timely fashion and there's no late night music or other disruption. The system works quite well and seems to be appreciated by all.
Whilst in the area we also checked out the other caravan sites, all were nice but more formal and with the bare legal minimum pitch spacing. Camping in the woods in the large site at Brokenhurst would be a nice alternative if you are not needing mains hookup.
The trees provide shelter from the wind but also reduce the amount of sunlight which could be a good thing depending on the weather at the time of visit. Brockenhurst site would be better for cyclists and is frequented by New Forest ponies.
Hurst View facilities were immaculately clean and were like new. There were only 8 ladies and 6 gents toilets for the three fields but as mentioned in an earlier review do not seem to be overcrowded even at peak times. The on site shop was reasonably priced and had all the essentials.
It was also possible to get a very tasty cooked meal and eat at the tables outside although this was only at the weekend when the demand was higher. We were charged £30/night in peak season with hookup, this seemed expensive but is in line with the other campsites in the area. When we return I hope we can reduce this by converting to solar and going off-grid.
The weekend campers bring with them children who happily play (noisily) in the play facilities in middle of the main field. We didn't mind this but it might irritate some, if so you need to be on a different part of the site.
There were impressive illuminations at night and combined with the open fires it created a fabulous atmosphere. A word of caution regarding old firepits, don't drive over the ashes as there are often nails from the burnt wood that are left behind. It's surprising how quickly the grass recovers they are no long term detriment.
From the lower field you can walk along the cycle path for 30 minutes to Keyhaven and then on to Hurst castle. We had a very nice pub meal at the quayside. Some spectacular views of The Solent and marshes and a bird watcher's paradise. If you go by car the parking is £1/hr. From Hurst View entrance there is a walk into Lymington town which we didn't try.
Parking in Lymington is very limited and the streets are narrow. There's a market every Saturday and the High St is closed to cars. There's a fantastic outdoor swimming park between the Harbour office and Lymington Yacht Haven, it uses filtered sea water and was very popular while we were there.
It was only a short drive to Christchurch and we really enjoyed getting the ferry at Mudeford Quay for a scenic circular walk and then a coffee and muffin on our return to the quay. The ferry costs £2/person and operates every 15 minutes until 10pm.
We realised we would overstay our parking ticket so was able to renew it online using the Ringo mobile phone app in use in many places in the area.
Lymington slipway charges were £15. 50 daily or £120 yearly and included estuary fees. Trailer parking is difficult at peak times. Even if spaces were available in the adjacent car park it's £8/day per space, fortunately Berthon Marina or better still the Yacht Haven can accommodate for a more modest fee.
We had some great adventures up the Beaulieu river past Buckler's Hard (river was teeming with millions of baby jellyfish), Cowes is 8nm away. There are some overfalls to avoid off Hurst Point, the currents are very strong here and we saw it was 188ft deep in one spot. Not suitable for swimmers! Alum bay and The Needles were amazing to see from the water, I even encountered a pod of dolphins in Freshwater bay and had them swimming under and around the boat.
To summarize nearly three weeks of our stay in July, after a poor start we had the most enjoyable holiday we ever had in all our caravanning years and we couldn't wait to return in September for another two weeks.
Nothing to add in addition to what has already been said, but the site was less busy during the week and we enjoyed being off-grid for the first time saving us 33% or £10/night. There is a local Esso station where you can fill your Safefill cylinders. via mobile
I have now been here twice in two weeks, so they must be doing something right and the site is 100 miles from home, so not just round the corner.
Enquired by email and they responded quickly with details of the costs and the fact they had space. Reception on arrival was very friendly and the chap behind the counter was in great spirits and advised where the facilities were, etc. They sell essentials and basics and some ice creams in reception, along with ice, logs, kindling etc.
The fields are large and you can pitch where you want, there are some pitches with electric but we chose non hook up so had more choice.
The site is next to a nature reserve, with plenty to see and do.
There are no pitches that offer sea views, but it is only a short stroll to the paths on the wetlands. The fields are very flat and the ground was soft enough and easy enough to get pegs in.
There is a small kids play area which seems more than adequate, a cafe on site selling breakfasts and more, washing up and two fantastic facilities blocks each with plenty of showers and toilets. These were kept very clean and the showers are push button, you cannot change the direction, but they were hot enough, although water did come out from teh side and bottom of the curtain, so watch your shoes. They could do with more than one hook in the showers though.
There is tons of walking from here and you are straight out on to the paths leading around the wetlands and you can walk in to Lymington which is about a 9 mile round trip, you can walk up to Hurst castle, which is English Heritage and good for a few hours and very interesting, and to Keyhaven. There is not a lot in Keyhaven, but a pub and some boats, but the area is pretty.
It is all very flat around here so easy walking and perfect for cycling.
There is a the Chequers Inn around a mile from the site if you go from the entrance, or just under two miles if you walk the other road. They offer a good menu and a great range of beers, wines and spirits.
Lyminton is lovely, but watch out, some of the pubs are very pricey as they have a captive audience. Loads of lovely shops and a Co-op for food etc.
The area is fantastic being on the edge of the New Forest and also Beaulieu Motor Museum, Bucklers Hard, the Isle of Wight and so much more.
Great site at £10 a night per adult and free for dogs, I will be back again.
Fantastic spot for everyone! The park is lovely - big, open, flat ground and enclosed with a large hedge.
The shop sells all of the essentials and the facilities are great - clean, well kept, stocked and we never had to queue! The location is perfect, the sea with a beautiful view of the Isle of Wight is a stones throw away and the village of Milford is a short walk/bike ride down a seaside track.
There are several friendly pubs nearby, all sell great food and are well priced. There are supermarkets in both Milford and Lymington. A fantastic seaside getaway!
Great site situated within a stroll of lovely Lymington town. Fantastic walk/cycle routes directly from the camping fields.
Really friendly staff and actually a campsite that doesn’t just want to rip you off only £10 per night for me and my dog (non electric) and a cafe with very reasonable prices not like other sites.
I asked for electric but sadly they didn’t have any electric pitches left which may have been awkward as I have an electric bike. But no problem they let me charge my battery every night in the shop free of charge! Happy camper 😀😀
So many lovely places to visit close by and also very close to the ferry terminal to get to the isle of white.
Great pub just around the corner called the chequers unpretentious big portions and reasonably priced and good atmosphere.
There maybe very minor things I could pick at but really for the price I was charged I won’t it was just perfect for me. Hopefully back soon next time with the family ! via mobile
