It is great for exploring the forest. The campsite is really big, we came in the weekday and it was fairly quiet but as soon as the weekend came the place became very very busy with campers - iot looked like a festival! its obviously extremely popular so I would defo recommend booking if you are going for a weekend. If you like something on your campsite to keep you occupied then don't come here, it is not the sort to have entertainment etc, in fact there is only the reception which is open in daylight hours where you can buy milk, torch batteries etc, there are toilets and showers, and that is pretty much it. It is a couple of miles out of Brockenhurst so you need a car - we came on foot and soon became good friends with the local taxi driver! Fabulous walks, and believe me being a city girl it isn't really my thing, but I loved it here. I imagine this would be even more fun if you got a big group of friends / families together to come here as you can make your own fun and get to spend some proper quality time. Brilliant.

Me and my family had a lovely holiday staying at Sandy Balls…read more Recommended by a friend of my Mum's my parents really wanted to return to this area after having a great long weekend staying just outside Fordingbridge. Sandy Balls is easy to find and the welcome centre is very friendly and come out from the building to great you whilst your still in the car. All the cabins are easy to locate as the site is well signposted. The cabins are brilliant! They all come with an outside picnic bench and barbeque, with barbeque equipment stored in each of the cabins. Are cabin had three bedrooms, a double ensuite and two twin rooms. Probably only one of the places I've stayed at where the twin rooms were a decent size. I really liked that they both included small dressing tables with a draw and stool underneath. The wardrobe space was large but the standard few coathanger provided. The bedding was great but my only complaint was I got very hot and would have liked a thinner duvet. The cabins were very good a keeping heat in and were always opening windows to cool down a little. The ensuite and bathroom were lovely, the best feature being the led lights intergrated into the mirror. The living room/ dining room was well balanced, plenty of room for 4 people to set on the sofas but I think a 6th guest would have found it a squeeze. The kitchen was great, all the appliances looked new, we found the fridge a little small but we did have a lot in there. Would have much preffered a chopping board that wasn't glasss but appart from that the kitchen was really easy to use. I big plus point for me was the arcade games! I really enjoyed having them there and had a lot of fun playing on the 2p machines and table hockey. The cafe/restaurant and pub were very good in their own right and didn't feel like they were there just for people coming to Sandy Balls for holiday. We won the weekly quiz and had a great evening not living the holiday park.

Reasonably priced. Nice location and cabins were clean and had everything that we needed…read more Really nice place to get away and stay to experience such a lovely location. Been there twice over and 20 years between and it hasn't managed to end up outdated. Still going strong. Recommend for families and couples .

If you go at off peak times it offers increadable value as you can use the facilites at the sister site a few miles down the road which include a indoor pool, spa pool, steam room, sauna and restaurant/bar.

This park offers serviced grass and hard standing pitches, as well as an area of Premier pitches with additional facilities. We are often told by customers that what makes this park stand out is the welcoming, inclusive atmosphere, as well as the great views out to sea. The park is situated just outside of Milford-on-Sea, a large village featuring beautiful beaches, as well as an array of pubs and restaurants, all within a quiet countryside setting.

With direct access to the River Thames and the Thames Path we are perfect for lovers of the river and walkers alike. For those with a boat or canoe we have two slipways and for those without we have over a mile of river frontage for picnics. With the lush green countryside of the Thames Valley all around, red kites circling above and the river traffic gliding past it is hard to believe we are only an hour outside London. We offer a happy, family-friendly atmosphere and only accept bookings from families and couples. We are proud that many of our caravanners and campers return year after year and recommend us to family and friends. In fact some of our customers who visited us as children now bring their own grandchildren!

This campsite has the cleanest toilet & shower block I have ever seen…read more They have a small Spar shop onsite with 2 small children's play areas and an outdoor pool. The roof top bar has reasonably priced food, basic entertainment and beautiful views out to sea. While we we there they used the large playing field to put an absolutely massive bouncy castle in. They also have a few security guards wandering around who are courteous which is a nice peace of mind. Only very slight negatives here are that the pitches are relatively closely packed together so if you have small kids and have a noisy pitch next door or vice versa it may be a challenge. However, it's really a lovely site in a lovely location and that shouldn't put you off. Some reviews mention the proximity of the cliffs but they are at the end of a long walk and a beach so unless you aren't watching your children for ages is not a problem at all. Take your fishing rods as the beach is great for Mackerel fishing so good to spend some time fishing with the kids. People were catching loads without effort.

Nice camp site, clean, well run, extremely well stocked shop too…read more What I liked about this place, was among other things that it had a girl called Vicky working there who really helped us out. We arrived late, and after phoning the site and advising our late arrival, she stayed late to let us in. Then when we couldn't put up our tent because it was new, and using car headlights in the dark. She stayed with us and helped us. Far beyond the call of duty! Whilst this is not something that you could expect or plan for, it was a very welcome start to a holiday that could have gone horribly wrong from the first day. Thanks Vicky, we will definately come again. This camp site also allowed you to have an electricity point within your tent, and for a small fee, there is also a refrigerator hire service, which would keep your milk fresh, of your beer cold, or both!

As we only have a folding camper we made good use of the toilets in the Sainsburys in town. Possibly because of the lack of facilities the two times that we have been there have been very few children which does mean that the site is quiet except for the parakeets which are quite noisy in the mornings. Do be aware that there is quite a long narrow road approaching the campsite. Could be awkward at busy times.

All of the facilities are clean, and are toilets are kept locked with a security code which you are given at the start of your stay to ensure that none residents could use them. NOt that this seems to be a problem as the park is down quite a long driveway, so traffic noise isn't too much of an issue at night There is a curfew, but its note restrictive as its inline with the bar shutting at the same time. The toilets and shower area have won awards for cleanliness and usefulness and its easy to see why.they're are brilliant! Warm, clean, and split into many different 'types'' toilet cubicles. toilets and sink cubicles. Shower cubicles, shower and sink cubicle, shower, toilet and sink cubicle which makes it very easy to use them regardless of the time of day. It is a mix of carvans and tents, but everyone seemed to get along. Food looked really really nice, and the pool looked clean, with free swimming lessons for kids which i thought was excellent. Will definately be heading back there agin next year, and the year after, and after that.
