Even when you are there and can see there are free pitches. Recommend visiting the office or calling them in that case. The site is at a great location with superb views and access to the water. · via Google [Lunches with Luna the DOg Lucas](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/116061133999443203093/reviews) ★★★★★ Camping right on the beach by Southampton Water · via Google [Alan Heywood](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103780565888931438874/reviews) ★★★★★ Nice site, lots of activities going on, get close up to the various shipping in and out of Southampton water, toilets, showers, black water station, · via Google [Ian G](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113819243235209176764/reviews) ★★★★★ Great site as close to the sea as you can get · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x48747ac60e4f6659:0xbbeb007600495802!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Calshot Cl [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=50.8158603%2C-1.3081252) **Category** Beaches & Coastline **Guest rating** 4.8 / 5 (12 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Setting** Outdoor **Dogs allowed** Yes **Good for children** Yes **Toilets on site** Yes **Destination** Southampton [More attractions in Southampton](https://staycation.co.uk/southampton/attractions) ★ 4.8 (12 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.hants.gov.uk/thingstodo/destinationcalshot?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Southampton **Payment** Cards **Plus Code** 9C2WRM8R+8P [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x48747ac60e4f6659:0xbbeb007600495802!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x48747ac60e4f6659:0xbbeb007600495802!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x48747ac60e4f6659:0xbbeb007600495802!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Southampton Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
