We stayed for the weekend, (Fri-Mon) in an Oak Lodge. The lodge was modern and clean inside but they are very close together. The brochure leads you to believe that they're in the woods, with the wording 'forest getaway' - but they aren't - they back on to the car park and are very close to the main entrance. The... More

BBQ areas outside caravan big with good seating. Our caravan really big but bit of dog smell but no available ones for no pets! Pub down road 10 min walk.... More

Hi All, Just returned from yet another stay At Sandy Balls. The only complaint I have is that the accommodation hadn't been cleaned prior to our arrival and this delayed us getting in and unpacked for a while but this was kind of sorted out for us. All in all a very good, comfortable stay and the weather was perfect... More

We have just returned from a long weekend in one of the Oak lodges and were very impressed with the site and the lodge which was well equipped and very clean. Our young children (6 4 and 1) thouroughly enjoyed it, especially the river walk and the adventure playground. We'd go again.

We stayed in a "Hazel" lodge for a midweek break and were very impressed with the standard of accommodation, which was spotless and comfortable. The lodges had their own small private gardens, complete with picnic table and barbecue. The grounds were well maintained, litter-free, and clearly thought had been given to the lay-out. We were there just after Easter and... More

We spent a long weekend at Sandy Balls and we pleasently surprised at how good it was, the location is great with enough activities for the Kids. The nature trail was a also added extra that we all enjoyed. One negative was having the cleaner standing outside our chalet at 9am on our departure day, when check out time is... More

We had heard very mixed reviews about Sandy balls but i am very pleased to say our camping experience on this site was 1st class. Upon arrival the staff were very welcoming. The gravel pich was ample size for our van and tent/awning, the fields were immaculately kept, and the shower block and sink facilities very clean and more than... More

Very nice location in new forest. We stayed in a pine lodge that was very well appointed with a nice roomy lounge and kitchen area, we found the bedrooms a tad on the small side but we were at maximum capacity and a baby along with the gear that goes with it. We would not recommend the Italian on site... More
