RVCP is lovely, but glamping was a let down!

I specifically booked the type of cabin that I did as the Hotels.com website stated that this had a private bathroom. However I was informed on arrival none of the glamping pods had private bathrooms, all had to use the communal facilities. As someone with disabilities this was alarming for me. I had to visit the toilet twice in the night, at, both times having to walk from our cabin to the toilet block and there were men hanging around at 2.15am. It was a difficult walk for me. Had I known there was no private toilet facilities in the accommodation I would not have booked it. The pod looked large in the photos when booking, but was tiny in reality. We were informed we had a fridge allocated in the kitchen, but it transpired 'our' fridge was shared between 3 pods, and on arrival it was stuffed full, with no room for any of our food. The pod was horrendous, it was dirty, the beds were so uncomfortable and creaked so loudly every time anyone so much as breathed, none of us slept more than 10 minutes the whole night. The chain holding the cooking grill above the tripod bbq outside our cabin broke towards the end of the cooking, resulting in all the food falling into the flames below. By the time we managed to rescue it, difficult due to the chain being in the fire and as such burning hot (silly us, we forgot our asbestos gloves!) the food ended up being burnt, almost beyond being edible. This was not a happy event for any of us., and it was overpriced for what we got!

Great little gem of a find.

Very peaceful. All you need is provided (in the way of cooking utensils, cutlery, crockery, washing up stuff etc), baskets of logs are available to purchase on site. Small shower/toilet block but it's enough. Smashing location, in woods, close to water/beach, pubs etc.

Very upset about allegations made by the proprietor after leaving. Tried to make me pay for an extra night because the tent needed 'airing' due to the alleged use of cannabis.

It was a really beautiful place. We went mid week so it was lovely and quiet. The owner and the manager make you feel very welcome. Plenty of beautiful walks to go on and the beach was just a short walk away.

Good overall experience, but requires some work.

Nice family campsite, small, great location in the middle of a lovely park, and a friendly owner, but a bit difficult to find - better signage required. Toilet/shower blocks were grim - dirty floors (though it was raining the first day, so most of that was due to tracked-in mud, was better the next morning), cramped and mouldy shower cubicles, with a lot of hair in plughole. However, nothing insurmountable - and let's face it, you're not exactly expecting the Ritz when camping, are you?! Tent was very clean inside, but had a lot of mildew on the walls - needs a deep clean if possible. Decking outside had some sagging and cracking floorboards, which could do with some attention. Loved the location, enjoyed the surrounding park and fantastic playground a 2 min stroll away. Good base to explore Southampton/Portsmouth/Isle of Wight. Affordable and family friendly, with nice firepit/BBQ at each tent and room to run around. Kitchen cabin a good addition, though beer and yogurts were taken from our stash in the communal fridge - make sure to keep yours in a named bag or something. Beds were relatively comfortable, electric sockets and lamp welcomed. Crockery/cutlery/pots/pans and tea/coffee available for use by all campers. Overall, enjoyed by all in our party, especially the children, will likely come back again in the future.

Great venue in the country park with park and shore within a 2 minute walk from the site. About 15 or so tents in the field and we’ll spaced out. Very friendly staff to welcome us and explain the set up. Kitchenette very useful with cutlery, crockery, pans, microwave, fridges and kettles so you could travel light if you wanted to. Beds were quite comfy and having electricity in the tent was great for plugging in a fan as it was a particularly hot time when we stayed. We would certainly stay there again if visiting the area.
