Great place but needs more signage with threatening penalties to stop dog owners let their dog mess in and around the areas.
Secondly, more poo bins, especially up towards the Calshot end of Lepe beach.
I am not anti dogs, quite the opposite as I was walking two of my own dogs but definitely cleaned their mess up.
It’s totally owners irrational and selfish attitude.
Why is there always a long queue for purchasing an ice cream?

Hi

We're sorry to hear that your visit to Lepe was not as you expected. You will pleased to hear that since your visit we have installed some additional dog waste bins, however, we are limited as to where we can place the bins due to the beach environment.

With regards to the queue for ice cream, we now have an ice cream van that comes to the park during busy periods to help with reducing queue sizes.

Took the opportunity to spend a couple of hours on the beach last week, as we were in the area with time on our hands. Very much enjoyed the space, the sun and the picnic lunch we took.
Not crowded and good facilities

Hi

Many thanks for your review of Lepe Country Park.

We're happy to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Lepe. It sounds like you did a lot of exploring, and it's lovely to hear you managed to experienced some of what Lepe has to offer. On your next visit might I suggest visiting out Lepe Point conservation area, which includes our sensory garden and an all accessible board walk.

We hope we can welcome you back to Lepe soon!

What a wonderful inspiring day at Lepe Country Park - beautiful wild flower meadows, views across to the Isle of Wight, sparking sea, clean and well maintained, lovely boardwalk beyond the sensory garden. A lot of money must have been spent on signage, path maintenance and general upkeep of a beautiful area of Hampshire. We did the Lepe Loop walk and the DDay walk and thoroughly enjoyed both.

On the strength of this visit we joined for the year for £60 which gives us free parking for 12 months.

Have been to Lepe Park before but returned as we love the walk to see the D-Day remains. Was hoping to see the exhibition but unfortunately it had finished (the advert we saw said it was on until Monday 7th June). As before, location was beautiful and had a lovely walk. Decided to have a takeaway lunch but this involved a very long wait (under staffed??). Then visited the toilets - not very clean and in need of a revamp. Some are complaining about the parking - it cost us £7 for 3 hours. I don't mind this if the facilities are up to scratch so perhaps some of this money needs to be spent there?

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We are pleased to hear that you was pleased with our location and enjoyed a lovely walk. We are sorry to hear that you did not receive the service that you expected from our kiosk, we are currently making some changes to the service which we hope will help to reduce waiting times.

In regards to our toilets we wanted to let you know that we have a cleaning team that carry our several checks of the toilets throughout the day. We will however look into your feedback.

We wanted to reassure you that all money raised from car parking fees goes into maintaining and enhancing the country park.

We hope that you visit again soon

We visited the beach from 10am to around 2:30pm. We had a lovely day relaxing in the sun and went for a nice walk too. Ice cream van was around as well. However, we were very disappointed in the cleanliness of the toilets. During these times especially, you need a regular cleaner in the toilets to clean and top the soap up. When we went in them at 2ish, there was rubbish everywhere, no soap left in the dispensers and no hand sanitiser on the way out. The loo roll was running out too. It was disgusting especially with paying 9 quid to park all day. As much as we love this place, this is something really important that needs to be sorted.
