Camping near the river Itchen
Perfect site for overnight stay. Lovely location near River Itchen near Bishopstoke and Winchester. Colin was very welcoming and helpful. While the site is quite close to Southampton airport and very close to railway lines, this did not disturb my night's sleep at all.

NOT a pleasant campsite
I hate writing bad reviews but felt compelled to do so on this occasion.
The whole experience was horrendous and I would not want anyone else to go through the same stress as I did.
The positive reviews I read before booking I can only assume were fake.
VERY noisy campsite - busy trainline only a few metres away, planes overhead and heavy traffic noise throughout the day and night. Constant noise!!
NOT a suitable location for a campsite in my opinion.
Toilet block - stained toilet bowls, smelly and dingy.
Scary huge dog which kept walking over to our camping space completely unsupervised - sniffing around. I had to walk him back to the campsite owners house on several occasions. Couldn’t find the owner so I shut the gate to stop dog coming out again.
Beautiful river but frequented by many joggers, dog walkers, etc - so not particularly peaceful.
Campsite looked like a scrapyard - mess everywhere!
Creepy comments from owner which I didn’t appreciate - suggesting he brings the soap if I wash in the river as they have no showers.
The campsite was flat which was a positive.
And empty - sort of positive - but I now know why!
We left after one night even though we had booked four nights.
I am very disappointed that this campsite was recommended by Hipcamp and I had trusted that it would be a relaxing camping experience.
I will be much more careful in future.

Friendly host! We loved camping on Colin's land, right by a stunningly beautiful chalk stream.

Me and some friends loved tent camping on the site. The toilets were clean and maintained and the owner was very friendly and Co operative. We stayed for one night and would definitely go again.

Just what I wanted, large open field right by the river. Toilets were clean, water provided and the host was very helpful
