Hi, have just booked a weeks stay at the Sandy Balls campsite in the New Forest and wondered whether anyone out there has been. It looks great for children - i have 2.5 year old twin girls and am taking my sister who is 12 and my cousin who is 11 (and also 3 other adults to keep me sane

any comments greatfully received.

Sian

Whoops  ! Can you tell im new?? thanks for that and have looked through and seems most people think that it is not the best for campers due to gravel pitches and hard rocky parts. Is there anything that i can do so that my ground sheet doesnt get riped to shreds and so that it is not too hard underfoot??

Thanks, Sian

No worries Sian. as Ratty says they do hire Astroturf, and it isn't that expensive. It will protect your groundsheet, but you will still need some hefty rockpegs, rather than your normal tent pegs, to get them through the hardstandings
Cheers!

That gravel can be a bit of a nightmare. I think the name of this campsite is quite appropriate !
