John Thompson's Review of New Forest, Sandy Balls

Overall Rating

5 stars
  • Value for money
    5 stars
Good Points

Fully featured commercial Caravan and Camping site, including pool, pub, store and much much more.


Bad Points

Pretty hard to bash in any way really. Perhaps being fickle, it could be prettier, as the units are all lined up like soldiers, rather than sprinkled attractively around.


General Comments

New Forest Sandy Balls camp site is a great site for first timers, as everything you would ever need is on-site.

Situated in the New Forest among trees and horses, this is the real deal. On-site facilities are comprehensive, and extend to toilet blocks with heated floors in the showers, hook up points with water, drainage and TV aerial, and a pool with a mini leisure centre.

Forgot something? You can buy pretty well everything from the Spar store, from camping supplies to fresh bread baked on-site! The staff are great too, and even though you expect a rousing call of 'Hi de Hi' every morning, it's actually OK to stay here, but be aware that kids and dogs are allowed, which means it's a bit lively at times.

The grounds are large, and have plenty of places to explore. What's more, you can take a 10 minute walk up the road to see free range Horses and Donkeys! The local pub is predictably 'New Forest quality', and serves proper food and Ales.

Everything is clean and working too. David 'Note the wich cweamy texture of the soil' Bellamy awarded Sandy Balls a Gold star for ecological quality, and who am I to argue?

Sure, it's not classy, per se, but it's damned good despite it's size, and it's open all year round, which is nice in the Winter, when many official sites have shut for months.

Whether you have a Tent, Caravan or Camper, you will be accommodated on a good sized pitch with all amenities, and at no more than the going rate. Even non-tent owners can book a Log Chalet too!

What more could you possibly ask for, apart from a little more class perhaps?
