All the good things said about this site are accurate, it really is a well equipped and spotlessly clean site with everything you need for a good weekend away. It's not quaint or picturesque, but laid out in a functional and purposeful way. We used it as a base for exploring Portsmouth and the surrounding area over a bank holiday weekend, and it was perfect for us. I think there may have been mention of road noise somewhere, yes the occasional car or bike does travel too fast (and noisily) down the adjoining road and we got some distant traffic noise I think once, but not enough to detract from our pleasure.
Some additional things you might find useful.
We went twice to the Mill House pub which is a Fayre & Square chain pub and 10 minutes walk, this was fairly cheap and cheerful and if you choose wisely you'll get okay food, and great if you have kids. We also went to The Cottage pub which is about 8 minutes walk, this was a small superb pub with great ales and lovely food, we'd have eaten there twice but they don't do food on Sunday nights.
And finally Portsmouth. We had a great 2 days visiting the sights, there's a new scheme where you can purchase a ticket that covers all the maritime attractions and river ferrys between them, here's a tip, if you visit the Submarine museum first and then get the ferry from there, it'll save you driving in to the center of Portsmouth (and the parking's free!).
Stayed here four nights, could not have found a better site in the area. Facilities are excellent, shower/toilet block spotless, utility room great, could not want anything more. The only downside is the pubs are too far to walk for me, but called for food on way back from the cricket. Will hopefully be back in the middle of May. Would definitely recommend for a quiet relaxing break.
This was our second trip here for Christmas through to New Year having first visited in 2012 and deciding to visit again this year as it is a great location for cycling around Portsmouth, Bournemouth, Southsea etc.
The site is owned by Bill and Stella and they are some of the friendliest and nicest wardens we have ever met.
The weather was stormy with floods and gales so we had to change our arrival and departure days to go with the weather, and they could not be more accommodating to our needs. On arrival Stella greeted us with a warm welcome and went out of her way to make sure she was on site when we arrived. She showed us to an extra large pitch she had reserved for our 8m van, but the waste was on the wrong side, so she allocated us a more suitable pitch with all the connections on the right side.
While we were there several people got their cars stuck on the grass area (which we really couldn't believe people could be so silly as to drive on in all the rain) and Bill had the patience of a saint pulling them off with his truck and mending all the ruts they made.
The weather was very unpredictable and we were quite worried about towing our unit home, being such a long unit, but Bill rang us on our mobiles and made arrangements for us just to pack up our van and leave it on the hardstanding and then he would tow it to his back garden and keep it for us until we could get back down and fetch it safely another weekend. We actually didn't need to take him up on his offer as the storm broke into a beautiful day on our departure so we set off early to get home, but Bill asked us to text them and let them know we were home safe.
The site itself has been improved since last year, with pitches being edged and made wider. The site is a little bland and featureless and could benefit from some flower beds, shrubs and perhaps some mini hedges in between some of the pitches just to give it some features and colour, however, I would imagine a lot of people stop over on this pitch for ferries to France, so perhaps there is just one of those sites that does not have longer term holiday makers.
It has excellent fire fighting equipment dotted all over the site, which is good to see, is lit at night, and has a nice large toilet and shower block, which are clean and well presented.
There was not a light over the elsan emptying point which made it quite dangerous at night, but once mentioned to Stella, she had Bill fixing a light up there the next day so well done for taking the feedback on board.
Perhaps some simple touches now need adding like a dispenser of hand cleanser in the Elsan shed so you can just clean your hands before touching the door handle of the toilet block to go in and wash them properly after emptying the elsan, and it would be easier to have some kind of bench in there to balance the toilet on, it is a little awkward, but the hose works well. Like that touch.
All in all I would go back again as its perfect for what we want to do and they are such a great couple.
This was our first visit to this site and It will not be our last.
Great welcome and taken to my hard standing pitch, The site is set out very well, Toilets very clean and the Showers very clean. Great location with Victoria Country Park a very nice walk away from the site. Found this walk in a small guide written by the site owner and given to me on my arrival. Very large Tesco on route from junction 8. Of the M27 to the site and a Fish and Chips just off route. We found the site very peaceful and the main road traffic is no problem and had a good night's sleep on both nights. Also dog friendly with on site walking area.
My wife and I spent 4 nights at this campsite in a tent.
The owners, Bill and Stella, and staff were most helpful and informative at all times and genuine friendly people.
The pitching area is level, dry, large, and units widely spaced. Very quiet in the campsite, and I did not hear any traffic noise either.
Toilets and showers were always very clean, always paper in the toilet holders.
All the showers had all the fittings (the very necessary coat hooks ), none missing, as well as a fold down seat in the shower cubicle to use while changing (pity more places don't have this.
A wash room for pots/utensils with a freezer(, microwave, kettle, washing machines and tumble drier, A few basic supplies and milk in the main office/reception. (very big superstore a mile away)
Well sited for Southampton and the Hamble (the Itchin Toll bridge costs 50p (60p rush hour) and takes one quickly to the docks or city centre.
Will stay here again and recommend it highly to anyone visiting the area
Lovely campsite with everything we required. Stella was very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We had a big pitch and although at times had neighbours they were far enough away not to bother each other.
The showers and toilets were always clean and stocked with loo roll and soap. The laundry room was a great help as it was nice to use the kettle and microwave when the kids were tired and hungry.
We had very little noise from the road, air traffic or other neighbours but that is perhaps subjective.
Well placed near pubs and shops and we are definitely thinking of visiting again.
Excellent site: very pleasant welcome, well sign posted, great facilities including electric hook up, water etc. Toilets and showers nice and clean - entry by key pad. Pitches well spaced out - we were on hard pitch. Field at back for tents, also field where you can let your dog off lead (although there are loose chickens about so be careful!). We did hear the noise from the road when sat outside but it in no way disturbed us. We didn't hear any bird scarpers at the site (there 2 night) but did once whilst sat outside The Plough pub. Several pubs within less than mile or so walk.
Very friendly site, owner and wardens made us feel important and nothing was too much trouble.
Generous sized pitch that was clean, tidy and level.
Road noise and aircraft noise was not an issue at all. Showers and toilets were always clean, and we will definitely come back and visit again. Keep up the good work. If I had to be hyper critical it would be the distance we were from the services to our fully serviced pitch. I had to go to towsure, which is only 10 minutes away to buy some extra hose for the water and also some waste pipe. This in no way tarnished our stay.
Have just returned from a 5-night stay at Sunnydale Farm and found it to be a well-thought-out site with good facilities. There is a well-stocked campers room with washing machines and dryers, an iron and ironing board, freezer, microwave and washing up sinks. The room is clean and sort of cosy, too. Along the boardwalk are the loos and showers, 4 of each for both men and women. The showers are in the form of self-contained wetrooms and have a pull down seat and hooks in each - very useful. All are clean and tidy. There is a hairdryer which is free to use as are the showers (they are of the press a plunger type for measured amounts of hot water, and you have Hobson's choice over the temperature) but this is no more than I expect when paying £21 per night, to be honest.
Pitches are spacious and mostly hardstanding in one field with EHU, water and grey water drains for each pitch. Another field backs onto this and vans can access the above facilities across a walkway. Two other fields are for tents.
As the site is situated by a busy road there is a fair amount of traffic noise which can be a little intrusive. But given the site is well-situated for pubs, the shoreline and the M27 I guess it's a trade-off you have to make. Other noise which appears to be unavoidable is a birdscarer which starts firing random shots from 4. 30am onwards!
This laidback site welcomes families with young children, dogs, groups of teenagers/youths and overnighters. There is no play area for the kids but a large grass area is used for ballgames, frisby etc. And I will leave you to draw your own conclusions regarding how much noise and disturbance may occur at certain times. If you value peace and a quiet life above all this may not be the site for you.
We have visited this site several times over the past couple of years. The site is level, some hard standings and mostly fully serviced pitches with EHU water and drainage although there is a tent field behind this field. The owner Stella lives in the adjacent house and has her own caravan on a pitch which she sometimes uses, I think she quite like being with the campers and caravanners. She is very helpful and has good knowledge of the area. The reception sells a small number of emergency goods such as toothbrushes, milk, cold drinks etc. There are 4 or 5 ladies showers and 5 toilets, I presume the gents was the same. Excellent washing up facilities with washing machines, dryers and ironing facilities provided. All of these were very clean. There is no playground for children, but we don't need that now our children are grown up. If you are looking for clean level pitches a sort drive/walk from local pubs this is the place for you.
We stayed here for one night before we caught the ferry on our way to Portugal. We received a very warm welcome from the owners who caravan themselves. Lovely site ideal for a overnight stop or longer if you have the time. We walked to the nearest pub in the afternoon, which is about half a mile away. You have to be careful especially if you have children as there are no pavements and quite a nasty bridge over the railway line. Good food there and very reasonable prices.
We continued our walk into Netley Abbey and found another watering hole and the site owners turned up and chatted with us about the area and very kindly made two trips to taxi us back to the site in their 4x4.
Shower blocks are first class and the pitches were large enough to leave our cars hitched up ready for our early departure. We are looking forward to returning this year and hopefully stay a bit longer as the owners went out off their way to make our visit memorable.
Another return visit for us and we will be back, it is a quiet site and although we have 3 kids it is sometimes exactly what we and they need.
Everyone who works there is friendly and very helpful. If the weather is up to it we spend a lot of time at royal Victoria country park down the road with its tea room play area and miniature train rides. Also good for watching the cruise ships going in and out.
Netley Abbey is just down the road too and half hour there is good, (download the audio tour from the English heritage website to your phone before you go though as that adds to it).
Lovely site with excellent facilities. We stayed for a long weekend in March and used it as a base to visit the Portsmouth Historic Dockyards. Very easy to get to, but check the route first, as the satnav will try and take you down some narrow roads that are best avoided if you're towing.
The toilet block has underfloor heating, much appreciated on a very cold weekend, and plenty of hot water in the showers. Despite being quite early in the season the site was 75% full, but there were no queues and the toilet block was kept clean.
Staff were very helpful and friendly, this was the first trip out with our new van and we had a few teething issues with equipment. The owners wee able to point us to two local Caravan supplies shops and we were able to resolve the problems quickly.
We had a large hardstanding and they seemed to be increasing the number of hardstanding pitches overall, although we were next to the road and there was a significant amount of road noise. There was not a great deal for the kids to do, there is a field for ball games but it was too cold to use it.
We would certainly be happy to use the site again if we're back in that part of the country.
