Half-term 3 day family stay in camper van in persistent rain meant we didnt see this child and dog- friendly site at its best, as big puddles and poor drainage at entrance to our shower block and water refilling area. Our showers were not clean. However there are 3 blocks of toiliets, showers and wash up facilities close by, so... More

Stay for two nights at the end of May. We camped in the back field area which was relatively empty and nice and quiet. Good shower and washing facilities based around site with a store stocked with the basics and place who sold basic hot food. Would happily visit again as had great access to the New Forest from the... More

We'll definitely return. Access to the New Forest is a minute walk from almost every pitch. The site is huge, but it's nicely arranged so that you don't feel part of a sprawling tentropolis. The toilets and showers were spotless, cleaner than most hotels and pubs, it was genuinely a fearless experience to enter. The washing-up rooms had copious very... More

We just returned from a 5 day stay at this wonderful and friendly campsite. We have been coming here for about 9 years now which proves how much we love it! The staff were really friendly and chatty and able to help you when needed! The campsite is big, peaceful and enjoyable place to be. Because of the cold weather... More

We went during half term and were met by a friendly lady. However, this was the only time we encountered staff, as they seemed to stay in reception, rather than venture out to check the site, as happens at other C & C Club Sites. We had no problems with noise or rowdiness and slept well. However, the downside, and... More

Spent two nights here and found the site to be well located for our planned cycling trip. The facilities include well maintained wash and shower rooms. There is a site shop and the staff are helpful. There are electric hooks if required. As a base to set up you can’t go far wrong as it affords access to the Forest... More

We have just returned from a week's stay at the Holmsley Campsite, we have stayed numerous times in the New Forest camping and felt like a change of site, campsites with electric hook ups are in short supply so came across Holmsley. Check in was absolutley diabolical, met with Stuart who had absolutely no customer service skills whatsoever! We queued... More

We decided on a spontaneous camping trip to enjoy the last of the summer!! We originally were planning on going to Avon Tyrrell but drove in there, drove round and drove back to Holmsley. On arrival we were greeted by friendly (but clearly tired) people and were given a map so we could choose where to pitch for the night...... More

Stayed 3 nights this years late August bank holiday. Predictably it was rammed and tents were pitched too close together with no sign of this being policed but that was to be expected I suppose. Facilities however were pretty good for a campsite and the shop was reasonably priced for most items unless you wanted beans and cereal. Bags of... More
