hi all. i have looked at the reviews for this park but i was wondering if anyone else has been there and hasnt put a review up. we are heading down to portsmouth from scotland in 2 weeks and the site we had booked has no toilet or shower facilities so we are looking elsewhere. the last review of southsea says the pegging out is a problem. how bad a problem is it because we have a trailer tent and the main part of it needs pegged out. many thanks for your help in advance.

With all of the rain we've all had of late I can't see you having any difficulty pegging out on hard ground, you'll be hard pressed to find any, there's loads of pitches at Southsea to choose from. I've used it a couple of times as an overnighter and my main gripe is the toilet block didn't appear to be cleaned enough, it was adequate but I wouldn't stay there for my main holiday.

Come stay near me instead!

Easy to get to Pompey & it has to be better than Southsea Leisure Park!

Cor! Is it really Loopy?

In which case I apologise! DON'T stay near me!

I drive by it every day but have obviously never been in. Pity too - not a bad location - & certainly no busier than the Eastern Rd!

It is a shame, the area has a lot to offer.

There seem to be lots of new developments happening around Portsmouth harbour and Gosport.

Campsites seem to be run down and tired (Hayling/Southsea/Gosport) the only sites i have found are further afield

If only one made the effort they would have a little gold mine!

Any particular reason for wanting to be in portsmouth ???

We've stayed at Southsea a couple of times through neccessity rather than choice,we needed to be in the area.The ground is extremely hard, seems to be an in of soil then concrete, the site shop sells the pegs you can use but even then it was really difficult to pitch.
I wouldn't really reccommend the site for any longer than an overnighter, i'd look around a bit more. Though we love Southsea as a place to visit, always seems to have something going on when we visit unless we've just been lucky
