Jack C.

Emma's Glade primitive grass campervan or tent campsite (no pets, wild)

Liked Friendly and welcoming staff, they greet you once you’re through the gate to give you all the info you need before pitching your tent. Great facilities and food choice for the evening. Emma’s Glade section is amazing, shaded trees for the summer and right next to a little walk around the pond (Shower block is super close too).

Disliked Low pressure on a couple of the men’s showers but everything else was perfect!

Highly recommend, lovely site with great facilities.

Colin D.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked on entry was met by one off the team who carefully explained the facillities and told us our pitch number and which way to go we found the pitch easily as the numbering system is well designed and large to see the pitches are level hard standing and grass and very good size water points were fairly close by all pitches had hedge rows between them the site was very well kept the shower units were exceptional and clean the bar area was great all the staff were polite and help full and the shop was well stocked. would definitely visit again .they also had a large woods area attached to the site my dog and i loved it

Disliked the only down side was trying to peg the awning down the hard standing under the shingle lived up to its name extremely hard

Loved this site and will defo be back

Chloe C.

Primitive grass campsite (pet friendly)

Liked It is easy to find and we were greeted at the entrance with all our welcome information and dog treats for our dog, which was a lovely touch. The toilet and shower blocks were exceptionally cleaned and stayed clean throughout the day. The showers stayed on until you turned them off, no ten second stop! There is a dog wash for small fee and washing up area, again very clean.
We had a tent pitch, which was spacious!
The shop was stocked with plenty of things and the bar had a decent choice. It's very friendly in the bar, you can take your dogs in and they don't kick you out of you still got a drink past closing! Every staff we saw, gave us a smile and hello, and the bar staff were brilliant

Disliked Nothing really! It was super hot and there wasnt any shade in our pitch. Other tent pitches had shade, it's not really a dislike though, the park can't control the weather!

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review, we are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed everything BoB has to offer. Hope to see you again soon.

Route directions

Some guests have issues with the site address when put into some satnav devices. Please print out these directions and follow these when you are close to the site to ensure you find the site easily. From the north or east: From the M3, take J14 onto the M27 westbound and join the A31 (signposted Ringwood). Pass Ringwood; stay on the A31 to St. Leonards and pass St. Leonards Hotel on left. At the next roundabout (signed Boundary Lane), turn right into the site lane. Take care: this turn is set back from the roundabout by a few yards, so look for the site sign and one for Shamba. From the west: Follow the signs for Ringwood on the A31 eastbound. Pass The Woodman pub on your left. At the next roundabout go straight over and immediately left into the site lane. Drive straight down the lane, pass Shamba and go through the twin towers to the site barrier. When you arrive at the barrier system press the button for attention.
