Andark Lake is the place to be if water-based antics are high up on your list of must—do's on your next camping holiday. The peaceful campsite enjoys a lovely spot near the sparkling River Hamble and enjoys a convenient location six miles from buzzing Southampton and twelve from the Portsmouth's ferry terminal. Guests can use the site to rest their head before catching the morning ferry or make Andark Lake a base for exploring the local area. This small, grassy site offers spacious grass and hardstanding plots with optional electric for tents and touring vehicles. The prime allure is the scuba diving training lake where eager watersport enthusiasts can sign up for training courses and recreational dives. Guests can also hire kits and fill air tanks so don't fret if you haven't packed the appropriate gear. Open-water swims are more than encouraged on the weekends at a modest charge, so feel free to splash around to your heart's content with the munchkins as the golden glow of the sun shimmers over the waters. If your dip has left you feeling somewhat peckish, why not crack open a cold one as you set up the barbeque grill and get a sizzling alfresco feast going for the whole family. Facilities are basic yet entirely sufficient and include toilets, hot showers, disabled-friendly features, plus free Wi-Fi for planning trips and keeping in touch with the outside world. Pets welcome.
