This has to be one of the best independent family run campsites we have stayed at!! It’s a small version of Centre Parks and perfect for families . Although we are a couple in our 60’s. We booked for the three days of music Friday , Saturday and Sunday evening. We came in our motorhome on a fully serviced gravel and grass pitch and it was huge. Also available are safari tents , lodges and bell tents Dog walk and dog wash Fishing Quad biking Clay pigeon shoot Crazy golf Soft play Archery and axe throwing And close to Marvell zoo though independent of the zoo Restaurant and bar with amazing tapas pizza and tomahawk steaks Cafe Lakes and fords with stepping stones and climbing ropes Highly recommended https://www.marwellresort.co.uk/

Marwell resort is so friendly, we loved our stay here. We had caravan on hard standing, 2 adults, 4 kids and 1 dog. It is the most dog friendly place I've ever been too, it's now our new favourite place. Lots to do, all the staff are lovely and dog people (my kind of people!) We will be back in the summer, can't wait 🙌

Lovely place for an overnight stay in our motorhome. Great level pitch. Beautiful surroundings. Fabulous dog walk. Friendly staff. The food in the restaurant was really tasty!! Toilets and showers were fairly clean. Great facilities for campers. There was a wedding on when we visited so the Pizzaria was closed. My only gripe is that there is no WiFi. Oh, and we found the site map slighyly disorientating! Would have been perfect if it wasn't raining all weekend!

We ended up booking a powered campsite here for 3 nights for a camper van. For the price (£48 per night) I can honestly say we feel completely ripped off. Our site was double booked, which lead to a dangerous situation returning from a day trip and finding a tent pitched between our access point and the road. The toilets and showers were absolutely filthy. I totally understand this is a family site but an extra round of cleaning is definitely needed in the evenings. I’ve never seen a toilet block in such a state. The push button timed showers were swift to say the least, and searing hot with no temperature control. The sinks water pressure was so high the hot water splashes out and into the faces of small people. I was so disappointed. We thought a “resort” would be well worth the money, but for our purposes of needing a place to pitch up with power and a place to dump our chemical toilet before taking the van back, it was money I really feel hard done by having spent. Oh and we arrived at 4:45pm to have to chase down staff, to be told the on site restaurant took last orders at 5pm (?!?) and if we wanted a pint at the bar, last orders were at 7pm (???!!!). Perhaps renaming to Marwell Family Campsite would be more appropriate. Resort is a bit far fetched.

I love Marwell Resort although I don't want to give a review really as I don't want others to find it as I love it so much 😆 The showers are warm, clean (important to me as many camp sites it can all be a bit grim). The restaurant is well staffed and got excellent food on offer. I particularly enjoyed the ribs. All our party loved the food. Although were a bit gutted the pizzas weren't available on the Friday night as they taste great. The activities are great. We stayed in our tent so the room was perfect! The camping area is clean and beautiful. Second time going and can't wait to go back x All in all 5 out of 5 stars.
