Hurst view is situated near to Lymington - a ideal stop over for the Isle of Wight Ferry. It is a friendly campsite, quite large with some big fixed units. There are 2 fields, one for tents without hookup and one for units with hook up. There are no marked pitches in the fields but there are also some specific hardstanding pitches.
Facilities are good with adequate clean toilets and showers and a small Shop and food takeaway (pizza, chips etc). The site overlooks the Solent (just) and there are some good walks nearby. We only stayed one night, but would have been happy to stay longer.
We were really looking forward to our visit due to the excellent rating the site received. We were, however very disappointed.
I agree the staff are very friendly and helpful and the surrounding countryside and walks from the campsite are great.
Dogs had messed on the field we stayed in, so when my children played they had to dodge piles of dog mess. People had abandoned tents and chairs by the side of the field which were not removed for the whole of our 3 night stay. It had a feeling of no-one really caring what went on.
In the men's showers 2 were not working and they were either luke warm or too hot.
The location is lovely and it could be great - maybe things are more organised in the summer holidays. We will never know as we would not go back.
We visited hurst view at the beginning of April and had a great time. On arrival the staff were very friendly and helpful. The campsite is made up of three fields which are nice and flat there are one or two dips so you have to be a bit careful where you pitch if there is rain forecast, or in the morning you could find yourself in the middle of your own little pond.
The toilets and showers are kept very clean and there is plenty of hot water. There can be a bit of a queue in the morning but did'nt have to wait long.
There is also an on site shop which stocks all the essentials and is reasonably priced.
Really nice to be able to have a campfire for keeping wram and roasting marshmallows.
Probably the only gripe I have is the children's play area could do with updating
All in all we had a great stay and we will be going back.
Open fires allowed but need to be more controlled.
Close to cycle paths.
Toilets, showers very good.
CONS -
Far to expensive £20 for basic tent pitch in low season, No EHU.
Very noisy due to landscaping on adjacent landfill site, JCBs etc, 7. 30 till 5, 50 meters from tent!
Fire pit damage to field means you have to be careful where you pitch.
Would I return??
Would love to return, location is ideal. BUT needs to be cheaper, wary of using site in high season because unsure on how safe tents would be with the amount of open fires that seem to be allowed.
Visited 03/09-06/09/13 with electric hook up. Clean, spacious and quiet site. Toilet and shower facilities are clean and the showers are overhead, warm and powerful. The relaxed atmosphere of the place, location and no problems with sensible campfires made our stay a great one. From the back of the site a choice of footpaths take you down to the Solent with excellent views of the isle of wight and the needles. Keyhaven is a nice walk away and we spent a happy time sitting on the quayside watching the yacht club members taking out their dingy's for a potter around. Milford on Sea is a short drive or bike ride away and on a warm sunny day is a hidden gem. On arrival at the site you are given a map showing the local area with details of local shops and pubs. Everyone will take something different from the local pubs and there is no point in my giving a personal review of them. The no comment for the White Hart however should not stop you from paying a visit as we did and found nothing to complain about.
Sorry, not my kind of campsite. Good location etc. Toilets were adequate with plenty hot water etc. Childrens playground needs attention, maybe some swings? Unfortunately for us it was very noisy on 2 nights of our 3 night stay, which was stressful for us, spoiled our visit and we couldn't wait to leave; kept awake till 3am because of a group of drunk youngsters who apparently just camped without booking in, as staff were unaware they were on site. Might be an idea to tighten up on security at this site by owners? To the owners credit they did evict the group the next day, so thank you for that. We returned home exhausted due to lack of sleep though. We have been told this is a rare occurrence on this site however. They allow campfires which is lovely, but be aware this is not controlled so lots of ash pits everywhere. Ideally located campsite for Lymington and lots more beautiful places to visit in the area. Finally, we paid £25 per night with EHU; in my opinion too pricey for facilities offered, especially in September. Sorry but we will sadly not return.
Stayed here for the first time at the beginning of August. What a lovely site. Beautiful views and easy access to the walks along the shore. Local pub 'The chequers' very nice, lovely food. On site showers and toilets were always clean and even at peak times there was always hot water and we never had to wait. The whole site was kept very clean and the staff were all very helpful and friendly. Very dog and child friendly. Being able to have a camp fire was great, you can buy sacks of wood from reception although if your planning more than a couple of camp fires it is cheaper to bring your own. The electric pitches are popular even though they mainly run along side the main route past the toilets, showers etc. Some noise at night from other over enthusiastic campers, but you get that in most sites and wasn't a big problem. You can hire bikes on site and the little shop sold most of the essentials. All in all a top site and we will definitely be returning.
Just returned from 5 nights at this site. Good spacious pitches, we were EHU and had a reserved pitch. The site is basically 3 fields with a small but functional play area that all the kids communed in and made friends. The shower and toilet facilities were exceptional, the loos were cleaned several times a day and the soap dispensers and loo rolls never ran out, plenty of hot water and only once did I have a few minutes wait for a shower. The on site staff were friendly and its a very relaxed site. On the down side, the 5mph speed is not enforced and people drive around much faster which is a concern if you have young children, if you are in the tent only field as we were, the children have to cross the path of the cars coming in and out so you need to be vigilant if you have younger children. We also found the changing of the bins at about 7am every other day an unpleasant wake up call. All in all a good site, a good base to explore the New Forest and an hour from the gorgeous beach at Bournemouth which we cant recommend highly enough. We did visit Chequers but didn't rate the food at all but the beer was good.
Came with one other family only this time however still 8 kids with us from 1 - 8 years old.
Stayed in the field behind the toilets for a change which was excellent as it is tents only and worked really well for us. After the weekend we had lots of space for the kids to ride their bikes and play by the tents.
It was mega busy over the long weekend which caused a few issues with the toilets having to queue however not too long for the showers. Real concern was that they were nowhere near as clean as before and we found we were having to use toilet roll to clean the shower trays beforehand as people left so much hair in them. Could have done with a bucket and mop at hand for you to use as and when required.
Would also like to see a step so that the younger children can reach the bowls to was their hands and clean their teeth.
The playground could do with some repair work there are no swings plus bits missing of the fence which only encouraged some kids to run through. Also the woodchip ground needs to be looked at.
This aside we still had a wonderful trip and once again did lots of cycling, walking, crabing, Hurst Castle and visits into the new forest. We always manage to find new rides to take and things to do each time we come down. The kids said they felt like they were the famous five.
We had plenty of fires however we do bring our own wood with us as this works out cheaper.
Very disappointed, paid £20 for the night, no EHU, though have stayed a much better sites for less money.
The site is really just a field, shower and toilets are modern and clean, but can be a trek if you pitch on the extremities of the perimeter.
Campervans on hard standings were parked opposite the facilities and appeared rather crammed together.
Late afternoon arrival, and there were bags of discarded rubbish all around and cigarette butts everywhere on the grass.
Lovely to have an open fire, but sad to see not managed well so there are burnt delves all around the field, effecting where you can pitch.
Staff at reception welcoming and friendly. Quite a drive down from main road, not narrow but not ideal for a large van. In field there was not much of a view, maybe better in a van.
What a great campsite, we were blessed with 10days of very hot sunny weather. The pitch was a good size, toilets and showers always had hot water and were cleaned several times a day, never had to queue during the week but weekends were a lot busier so get up early or shower later when people have gone out.
All the staff were brilliant and very friendly I kept running out of ice packs due to the heat so they lent me loads whilst mine were re-freezing. There was a chest freezer on site or you can use the one in reception, there is also a washing machine and tumble dryer (although dryer out of use during our stay)
Little hut for cooked food Friday evening through to Sunday, can't remember the hours, but food was good.
The shop is a bit hit and miss, quite expensive and not very well stocked, opening hours were a bit strange too, one minute it was opening at 5pm then when you went it had opened earlier and was now shut, they did sell ice though at £2. 00 a bag.
Camp fires allowed and a bag of wood was £5. 00.
Loads of walks from the campsite which were all pretty and easy to do.
The only minor problem was dogs not being on leads, quite a few people thought it was ok to walk around with their dogs running off in front or behind them, playing fetch etc despite signs saying that dogs should be kept on leads. Caused a few tethered dogs some frustration as they passed by.
Toilet block, didn't come across any queues despite the site being almost full and as always they were always clean and tidy.
Almost didn't get the pitch/field we had asked for in our email, but this was sorted very quickly. I would advise being in the overflow field and in the side of the hedge where the shop is as the site is quite windy and it did make a massive difference which is why I wanted to be moved when directed to a pitch that was in the path of extreme wind.
I would advise pitching your tent well away from the portable toilets if you are in the overflow field because we had fellow (mostly drunk) campers using the toilets (noisily) until 2am on Saturday night, woke myself and 8 year up numerous times, at 2am I finally gave in and put my earphones in with music (last resort as hurts my ears) !
Saturday morning was woken up by a dog which proceeded to bark pretty much the rest of the day, they left the dog by the tent and wondered off and then during the day the dog was locked in a van (no wonder it was barking, when it couldn't see anyone) ! I am a dog owner myself and I fail to see why you would take a pet on holiday with you then proceed to ignore it and put it 'out of view' to annoy everyone else. I did hear numerous other campers saying they had gone over to their tent and hinted about the noise etc but it would appear to avail.
As with my last review of this site, I'm not entirely sure their noise policy is enforced properly, consistently or in the best interest of family's camping, I saw security come into our field twice in Saturday night and one of those times was because someone's camping was on the large side and so they were I assume asked to reduce it in size. Both times I saw them were before 9. 30 and again all the noise on the site began after 10pm as drinkers get louder.
I will not book on this site again, whilst they are relaxed and that can be a good thing I think they are too relaxed and a rules are kind of out the window.
Great facilities, toilets & showers always kept clean, lots of fresh hot water, even on a very busy weekend. They recharge mobiles & freeze cool blocks, an extra hut sells hot breakfasts & cooked evening meals at weekends if you want.
Very near the coast and nice walks, near to Lymington and all its shops & takeaways etc.
Owners & staff are friendly and there is a play area for kids
Not much shelter from the sun (on those rare days when England is that hot), also there can be strong breeze off the sea, so you need to pitch near the hedges to shelter from it.
There is some kind of a refuse dump over the hedges in one corner, the only effect this had on us was the distant noise of machines loading etc, but obviously only during working hours.
We visited for 4 nights in June 2013, when the site was pretty quiet.
Liking our own company, we set up on the far side of the most distant field, somewhat sheltered from the prevailing winds by the hedge around the field. There were a couple of other tents on the far side of the field, so we had plenty of space to ourselves.
There was a little noise from machinery operating in the quarry beyond the hedge, but it wasn't particularly disturbing and fell quiet at about 4pm.
Unlike some of the more recent reviews we found the showering/washing facilities to be pretty good, but the site was very quiet and I have a feeling they were relatively new (this was in 2013).
Just at the back of the field you can access a footpath through the Lymington - Keyhaven Marshes nature reserve which is a pleasant 1mile walk into Keyhaven for the picturesque Gun Inn pub. We also caught a passenger ferry from Keyhaven to visit Hurst castle for an interesting afternoon's excursion.
