 We absolutely love Sandyballs we have been there a few times now and have not ever been been able to fault it,

The facility’s are clean they have a lovely swimming pool, Hot tub, Sauna they also offer massage and facial treatments.

They have a great arcade for the kids as well as many other kids activities. They have great entertainment starting with kids early evening and then quizzes or singing, comedians there is a great variety and plenty to do there are several places for food and it is lovely.

Staff are very friendly and helpful. We have booked a weekend just for the 2 of us before winter arrives and we will be booking 2 weeks there for next summer and then we will be going to another site for a week it’s great.

 The check in is very smooth and they are very swift, once I arrived at my pitch I was disappointed that the pot holes in the gravel hadn't been filled since my last visit a few years ago, this meant that to walk around the site was very muddy and wet.

The entertainment was good, but extra activities were a bit pricey although there was a good choice.

The new pool opened while we were there and the new facilities are very nice, unfortunately the pool was absolutely freezing! I hope that was because it hadn't fully warmed up rather than that being the temperature it was set at.

I find it a really expensive site and am never sure why it's so popular, I'm sure I will go back but won't be in any rush.

 We had 3 nights here and couldn’t fault it. The check in, pitch, cleanliness and staff were all excellent.

As it was the first week in January the site was very quiet but we were there over a weekend which became a little bit busier.

The staff were very friendly in all the restaurant/shops we visited. The supermarket was well stocked.

Definitely go back there again. Not sure what it would be like during the school holidays but as we are retired we have the luxury of being able to use these holiday parks during term times when they are always quiet.

 We visited for two nights over the weekend which was a bit of a last minute decision. The site is quite close to home so we wanted to get away and be able to access some good walking into the New Forest.

On arrival at the site (Friday evening) it was busy, there were vehicles queuing into the entrance however the reception was very well equipped for this and was effectively doing a rolling check in. We were at our pitch within minutes. Fortunately we were pitched off in a corner with no through traffic and next to a footpath which took us directly off of the site, great for us and the dogs.

We had justified the cost, which was more than we would usually pay for a weekend close to home, as access to the pool and sauna facilities are included but we didn’t use them as it was so busy. However we didn’t really need to as there is plenty of walking off of the site and around the nature trail, when we weren’t out walking we were able to relax in the van.

This is a large family orientated site which goes against what we usually look for in a campsite but we’ll definitely come back as the facilities and are so good and the surrounding area is really lovely.

 The site itself was generally clean and tidy I had not problems with it. I just want to warn people not to be tempted to go for a Super Pitch. We did, basically as we thought it would be bigger. WRONG ! to be honest out pitch was no bigger than any of the others. The only thing we gained for our extra £5 per night was a few more amps. There were much bigger and more spacious pitches all around us. So don't get caught like us. Learn from our mistake and go for the bog standard pitch!

 Absolutely amazing it has plenty of on site activity’s for both children and adults.

The location is perfect, very close to the horses and donkeys etc, the views are amazing, it’s a very friendly place, food is lovely plenty of variety, the on site shop is very well stocked with plenty of choice

Facilities are clean plenty of laundry rooms and shower blocks it’s very well looked after we have been before also and it’s the only site we have found with the activity range swimming and evening entertainment it’s ideal if you don’t want to leave sandyballs village they have everything.

We have already booked our stay for this summer can’t wait.

 On arrival campsite looks like needs a face lift, very shabby now, we have been going for a few years and never again. Went to takeaway after setting up to be told no fish, chicken only burgers, just not good enough. Then went swimming as it was a real heatwave week to b told that the pool was shutting at 3 because short staffed. We were not told this at 1. 45 when we went in just not good Call yourself a 5star site, Don't think so Will not rush back, also other guests were also saying they had enough and were not going any more.

Reviewer: MoatPleck 2 reviews from this member

 We have been visiting this site 2/3 times a year for some years now but on our last visit it is as if their standards have fallen off a cliff.

Everything seems to be dedicated to wringing the last pound out of your pocket (£5. 00 extra to choose a camping pitch).

The food in both restaurant and pub was expensive and in their pub we chose the gourmet burger which was accompanied by luke warm chips and almost cold onion rings.

They had no ale because of some cooling problem (do you cool real ale?) and the following night they had still not fixed it.

To cap it all most of the toilets in the gents toilet block were completely unusable on both mornings.

Two days was enough.
