Reviewer: Minsc64 3 reviews from this member

 This is a very nice campsite. The wardens and owners are very friendly and helpful. We were made to feel most welcome.

The facilities are new and kept very clean. Even though they are quite small I never had to wait. There is a freezer for freezer blocks, a washing machine and tumble drier and 3 sinks for dishes.

There is no shop on the site but the nearest shop is a farmshop right next door, it is about a 20 minute walk to a small supermarket and a massive tesco about a 10 minute drive away.

There are a selection of pubs within walking distance or a short drive away.

The camping field we were in is huge, even with 60 tents in it there was still room for the kids to play various ball games. There is a smaller camping field and the caravan area with hook-ups.

The area is lovely and it is difficult to believe you are on the edge of a large city when you are here.

The only downside to this site is that the ground is very stoney.

We will definitely be returning to this site.

Reviewer: MJBS 14 reviews from this member

 We found this site quite easily. First impressions, a new block, which housed an empty office, and which obviously housed the toilet block. A lack of signs and barriers, and 'prettiness' like hanging baskets, as you enter. It was not initially clear as to where to park up and check in. As I have said, signs (which are so familiar on Caravan Club Sites) need to be put in place, like the obvious One Way, 5pmh etc etc. I had to ask where the chemical toilet block was. It wasn't that obvious!

Saying all this, Stella greeted us warmly, and was very approachable. Her actual office is on site, in a caravan on Pitch 4, which makes her visible which has its advantages. We stayed on Pitch 9 and was delighted to find it was actually a serviced pitch, but we were unaware of this, and something that the owners should advertise. Its quite a luxury, after all.

The toilet block was new, but as the grass cuttings are not picked up too well, the floor could get quite messy from time to time. The pitches were OK, but a lack of boundaries with shrubs etc would soften the site considerably. Turning left on the A3025, takes you to a toll road/bridge which takes you straight to the Isle of Wight Red Funnel Ferry terminal, literally a 10 min drive away, so handy for trips to / from IOW.

Overall, a very under-estimated site.

Reviewer: Dahnbhlch 1 review from this member

 Just got back from 3 nights here. It was my first camping trip so I can't compare to other sites but, as others have said in reviews, new toilet block is good, clean, works well, got freezer. My issues were that I had a toddler with me and the pitch we were given was a long way from the block (different field) and there was no temperature control over the, very hot, showers. There is a way round this, the disabled shower has a thermostat and is big enough to fit a family in, but you need to make arrangements to borrow the key, preferably when you arrive. We spoke to the warden about it, who didn't have the key and I kept going back to his caravan over the next 2 days, but no-one was in. Gave up eventually.

Also found road noise to be a problem. I'm a very light sleeper and traffic woke me up a lot. Lots of aeroplanes too.

Nice pub close by (Harvester) with good indoor and outdoor play facilities, and nice food, though they had run out of a lot of stuff. You can walk to this pub from the site but only if you don't mind walking on the road most of the way, and take a torch!

Very close to nearby Southampton, HUGE Tesco nearby.

 We found the wardens friendly and helpful, the toilet block was lovely, warm and kept clean, but, We had booked a pitch with hookup, so we arrived at the site to find it had been double booked, someone was already on the pitch we should have had, so we were given another but this although spacious was right opposite the farm scrapheap, not very inspiring this however was the only blight on our holiday. Also one of the photos on their website is misleading because you can't see the solent through any trees.

Reviewer: LK103 10 reviews from this member

 Just had 3 nights here and liked it.The showers etc are very good and clean and the price,inc water and hook up was reasonable.Caught the hourly bus( no.16) from 150 yrds down the road into the city which took 15 mins and only cost £5 return.Great value. My only gripe is the traffic noise which was loud enough to wake me up at 5.30 am but that's because I was pitched near the road.

Ask for a pitch at the back and you'll be fine.

Will definitely return.

Reviewer: Georgiegirl104 23 reviews from this member

 Had a nice 5 night stay on site. This is not the prettiest site we have ever stayed at, however all the facilities are new and good (as noted previously). Also note there is a washing machine and tumble drier in the washing/washing up room (not mentioned on the web site).

The site was relatively quiet when we arrived mid-week, however it got very busy (and very noisy) Friday and Saturday nights. There was also some noise from Southampton airport and adjacent Grange Road is quite busy.

There was plenty to do in the area and plenty of local shops for provisions. If you want to catch the bus into Southampton the No 16 runs very close to the site and there are regular buses throughout the day.

Reviewer: Jon blackmore 3 reviews from this member

 Had a pleasant bank holiday weekend at this site. Large level camping field in which we had free choice as where to pitch. We settled on a spot at the furthest side and had plenty of space all weekend. Everyone had chosen to pitch at the edges of the field which left a large area which was perfect for ball games, kite flying etc. This was great as it meant our 9 and 6 year old boys were able to play safely within our sight and no need for a playground!

There was a little distant road noise at night but not enough to disturb us and overall this was a quiet site. The toilet and shower block was well equipped with a freezer for ice packs and good washing up facilities.

There is a Harvester restaurant nearby which was useful after pitching late on the friday and we also visited The Millhouse pub which is a little way up the road from the site and found the food to be good value for money (take note that children are not allowed on premises after 9pm). This is a basic site but with a 24hr Tescos only 5 minutes away you needn't worry about it not having a shop and we'd definitely visit again.

Reviewer: Jennynorris 3 reviews from this member

 We stayed at this site for the Whitsun weekend and I agree the facilities are brand new and lovely. The problems we had was the dog walk field was being used by tents so you couldn't let your dogs off the lead.

Also we booked 2 pitches together both with electric hook-up, we had to use a 'splitter' as there was only one hook up point for the 2 pitches. This meant we had to watch what we put on at the same time or the point 'blew' most inconvenient in the morning for a cuppa so one of us used the gas kettle.

But overall we had a good time the pitches were large and flat the ground was very hard and agree with the previous review the pegs and the windbreak were hard to put into the ground.

Reviewer: Mharris 22 reviews from this member

 Spent BH weekend here and I must say its a very nice site. Pitches are spacious and flat (although I found it hard to put the awning pegs in). The toilet / showers facilities are brand new, clean and the showers are hot. There are plugs for hairdryers etc too in the ladies.

There is a busy road but I we never really heard much noise. The shops are a 5 min drive away and if you want to visit any of the pubs you will need to drive (not in walking distance).

Its a great base for exploring the local area and the Royal Victoria Park offers plenty of walks.

Reviewer: MrsKangaroo 2 reviews from this member

 We stayed at the site for a weekend and we were really impressed with the new toilet block. The site warden was helpful and suggested places that we could visit.

Our daughter came with us and because of the weather spent most of the weekend in the tent reading, but I think she may have been bored with no children's facilities.

Reviewer: Skynny 1 review from this member

 We had a lovely stay at this site. The weather was good too, it is close to all amenities, Netley Abbey, the shore line for a walk, local shops. The site will be really good when finished.

The only problem we had was the showers, need proper showers. The rest of the new block was excellent, spacial and clean. We had no noise problems with being close to the road. A relaxed place to be.

That is the only reason we would not go back to this site.

Reviewer: Klunked 12 reviews from this member

 A one night stay the week after I was here and felt I should write to say the new toilet block is open and a very high standard, warm air hand dryers which I love, toilets and showers and private basins, huge washing up and washing room which will be excellent even when really busy and underfloor heating! Luxury. 


Date of Visit: October 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Jjlj95 27 reviews from this member

 I had a very happy 4 week stay here. Stella was very friendly and helpful. The site is flat and plots are well spaced out, it looks lovely when you drive in, it is beautifully kept regarding mowing and tidiness and the electric posts stay lit up over night so you are not flailing around blindly if you return after dark.

It is extremely conveniently placed for an all night Tesco and for Southampton itself ( Mayflower theatre 15 mins drive away )
The portable shower and loo vans are not posh, but are split into Men/Women sides which is good and they are functional,and at this time of year there was no queueing for the facilities. There did seem to be a wash basin outside for dishes, but I did mine in my van.

Being more familiar with Caravan Club and Camping and Caravan Club sites the fees were a bit more than I was expecting, but when the toilet / shower block is completed it will be an absolutely wonderful site.

At present there is nothing to stop anybody driving on or off the site, no closed gates, I think this would be a welcome addition and give visitors peace of mind.

I will definitely return to this site when I next need to be in Southampton and meanwhile take away happy memories of my stay.

Reviewer: Peterrawlings 1 review from this member

 The site at this moment in time is ideal for tourers / motorhomes that have their own facilities on board like we had. If you are a camper you will find the toilet / shower facilities very basic. I would add although basic I found them to be clean. Those who have been to the site will see the owners are investing money in building a new toilet / shower block but these improvements take time and money but once complete will make this site even better than it already is.

The site itself is very good, the pitchs are level and very large the biggest I have been to in this country, each pitch is serviced by water and drainage. The area is well lit and for a safty note there are fire hoses ideally placed.

The site is ideally placed to visit local places of intrest.

The owners especially Stella cannot be more helpful a local lady who knows the area well.

If you are caravanner or motorhome owner I would highly recommend this site, if you a camper unless you like basic facilities I would look for a bigger site and pay double for the cost of your pitch!

Thanks Stella and your husband for an enjoyable weekend. Good luck with completing the new ammenities block. As Arnie said 'WE WILL BE BACK'

Reviewer: Snowbird 7 reviews from this member

 We chose to stay in our tent as we were only away for a short break and oh what a mistake, how I wished we had taken our caravan.

Firstly the noise from the unclassified 'country road' was constant all day right through into quite late evening, it seems Grange Rd is a rat run off the main A3025 into Netley. Added to the road is the noise from incoming and outbound air traffic from nearby Southampton airport as the site lies directly under the flightpath.

Secondly the facilities were grubby, cold and portacabins. There are three steep wooden steps up to the toilets (signposted 'slippy when wet') not good for someone with joint or mobility probs. Once inside someone has attempted to cheer up the ladies by placing a bunch of dirty and faded artificial flowers in a chipped vase on top of the boarded up gent's urinal stalls. The cubicals are tiny and the 2 washbasins are barely big enough to wash you hands in. The showers were just as grim plus mouldy curtains and a draughty open communal area for getting undressed and drying off, signs warns that having shower on high would trip of electricity so I tried to shower on low or med. Tried twice but gave up as water cold on both attempts and resorted to a wash with baby wipes in the tent.

The washing up area is one sink unit with a cold tap outside on a half completed bit of decking

With regards to the building of new facilities, we spoke to a caravanner who uses this site regularly for a one night ferry stop and he told us that the work has been going on for some two years as it is the owners family who are doing the work in their free time

The size of the pitches are generous, the site is level and it's convenient for both Southampton and Portsmouth and that is all there is on a positive note. As other reviewers have said, the site is OK for those in caravans and motorhomes with their own facilities and double glazed windows to cut out the road noise.

The prices are very high for what you get in return. We would have moved on but there were no other sites nearby that had vacancies so we bought ear plugs, bumper boxes of baby wipes and disposable plates or ate out at the excellent Harvester a few miles up the road. There is also a huge 24hr Tesco Extra store a short drive away and a local bus into Southampton stops at the end of the road.
