Kingfisher campsite at Stokes Bay near Lee on Solent.
Arrived to a friendly welcome in the reception and shop area.
The bar was open at 12 noon.
The restaurant from 6 to 8pm.
Showers were very clean all day and hot water.
Washing up area no plugs, not very clean and luke warm water.
On arrival we were told we could pitch anywhere we wanted but not in the coned off area as that was for a rally at the weekend. 
Unfortunately we were suitably told off for parking on the grass areas as these were reserved for tents , although we were told by reception to choose anywhere we liked .
There were dozens of empty pitches both grass and hardstanding. 
The man said your motorhome could sink in the grass and churn it up.
I explained if I thought the grass was wet or the ground soft I would not have parked there. 
The ground was so hard it was hard to get the pegs in!!!
I offered to move to be told its OK the ground is hard.
So why bother telling me off?
The views from the beach were good across to the Isle of Wight .
Lovely cafe and bar open during the day for lunch called the Bay side Cafe.
Sand at low tide.
Dogs welcome on the MOD land to the right.
Campsite Pro's
Freedom to choose your own pitch.
Hot clean showers. 
Bar and restaurant on site 
7 minutes to the beach on foot.
Cons. 
Hemmed in like sardines at the weekend. 
Lots of signwritten vans with tatty vans.
Barking large dogs most of the stay. 
Road noise will keep you awake.
Motorbikes and chavs trying for the new speed record. 
I wouldn't recommend .

Very noisy road

Lovely, quiet site. Set in beautiful grounds that are immaculate. Dog walking area is stunning, around 2 lakes and fields. We were sited on a large grassy pitch which were were allowed to chose from. Checkin was smooth and we were taken to the area by a lovely friendly lady.  Toilets were clean and ok. 

Beautiful site 

Very friendly site and we stayed on the touring park in our own Motorhome.  We were welcomed on arrival and given a choice of pitches with electric hook up,   All the usual facilities were not far away including toilets and showers which were always clean. We were on grass and that was fine.
Lovely walk to a field with wildflowers and ponds which was ideal in the evening.
We only stayed here for one night on our way further north BUT we would like to stay here again as it was such a relaxing place.  I feel a return to Yorkshire coming on next year!

Very peaceful and relaxing

I was treated to a stay here by my family and my OH. We were put in a brand new caravan and I have to say it was absolutely blinking stunning. 

Although there was a wee problem with the water but once we notified Lauren and Scott the maintenance guy was at the caravan before we got back (can’t ask for better than that) it was soon sorted. 

Everything you need is close to hand, the beach, the rides and the shops. We had a wee mooch around the market and a shot on the 2p machines (no winners haha). 

Cant recommend this place highly enough. Sadly we didn’t want to leave but all good things come to an end. See you again soon Lauren and Scott, be good and take care, love Linda and Steph 😊

Great People, Great Place

Very nice clean site with flat well mown lawns, close to 3 ponds, walkable to Knaresborough 2 miles and a pub 1 mile. My 1 complaint was we booked our camper van in for 2 nights and the owner put us in a lovely sunny spot overlooking the lake. The next morning we drove to Knaresborough and when we returned, somebody had taken over our spot, the lady said "Oh, somebody must have snuck in there that wasn't booked" and instead of insisting they left we had to go to the other end of the park, nothing special to look at and the sun went down there first. Very disappointed with her attitude

Lovely site

Lovely quiet  and laid back site. Staff were friendly and helpful.  There are two ponds to walk around with lots of wildlife. One with a picnic area.  Very dog friendly with two dog walking areas. Toilet and shower blocks spotlessly clean as was the elsan point. Highly recommended.

Super Chilled Site

Nothing to note that this is a family campsite with a noise curfews. 

Basically if you are under the age of 60 and have no kids in your group avoid at all costs. 

We had a dirty mask thrown at us by someone related to the owner and got told twice that 30 grand had been spent on the campsite. 

Got attacked for being loud at 11.30 on a Saturday night. The next morning the owner Immediately wanted to know what one of us had said to get attacked. Our awning was broken, one of us had a panic attack and the other had a cut right under their eye.

 Won't return -  unsure what 30 grand was spent on to make the place so 'amazing' there was human crap all over one of the toilets, one of which was only open along with uncovered recycling bins full of wasps, no toilet roll in the loos. 

Spent 2 1/2 years living in Canada - these people have alot to learn about running a decent campsite.

Basically a Butlins

Stayed in the Kingfisher Lodge July 2021, we have visited the site before before but this was our first visit to this lodge. Our check in was friendly with plenty of information provided for shopping and eating locally etc. We were then shown to the lodge where all relevant information was provided outside, in a Covid friendly manner. The accommodation was well equipped,  clean and comfortable with the bonus of a deck area that overlooks the lake. The site is well kept and there is a nature reserve which is well worth a visit. There are plenty of Supermarkets locally but you really need to have a car to enjoy the area. Other reviewers have mentioned a lack of Wi fi and phone signals, no problem to us, but if you spend your life on your phone it might be a problem, but if you enjoy a quiet, peaceful time, this site is one to consider.
We would happily stay here again.

Quiet, comfortable and clean.

Holiday great. People we rented off not so .
1st said we had made the quilts dirty but we didn't even use them
2nd the boiler broke so we had to fix it with instructions from the owner 
3rd said we had stained bedroom carpet but we didn't 
4th kept our deposit 
5th charged us £450 for nothing 
6th ripping People off in a pandemic should be illegal

Our caravan 1084

We came here camping for the weekend, The lady who checked us in was so friendly, helpful and welcoming.  It was the cleanest campsite we’ve ever visited the toilets were spotless from dawn til dusk,  We even saw them cleaning the climbing frame on an evening.
 It’s beautifully maintained. It has a gorgeous lake to walk around that has mowed paths. They’ve let the rest of the grass turn to beautiful meadow full of dragon flies and butterflies.
The campsite is primarily a caravan park but the field for camping is spacious, flat and the grass is lush (I’m not sure how they get the grass so full, I had grass envy)

We will definitely be back! Couldn’t find a single downside. Thanks for a lovely stay
