About Andark Lake
Life revolves around the water at Andark Lake, a peaceful grassy site just six miles from Southampton. The star attraction is the purpose-built scuba diving lake, where certified divers can hire kit, fill tanks and book training courses, while open-water swimmers can take a dip at weekends when staff are on site. Reviewers love the clean, well-managed lake and mention the bonus of a sauna after your swim. The on-site café serves breakfast and light bites that guests rave about, and there's free wifi across the small, quiet pitching area.
With the Hamble river down the road and the Solent coast a couple of miles away, watersports enthusiasts have sailing, paddleboarding and windsurfing within easy reach. Pitches range from non-electric grass spots for tents to electric hardstanding for motorhomes, and the clean toilet block with showers and changing rooms stays open round the clock. Three pubs sit within walking distance for evening meals, or fire up a barbecue and watch the sunset over the lake.

We stayed at the lake in the field at the top in our motorhome. It was a really lovely place to chill out for the weekend with stunning views. We didn’t swim but will definitely be back for this! The location was perfect for visiting nearby Hamble & Warsash. A super walk along the river to Warsash. Use the pink ferry to get from Warsash to Hamble. We also enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the lake cafe with friends in beautiful surroundings. Thank you Andark - we will be back!

A huge thank you to Andark Lake for helping us complete our sponsored 2-mile charity swim. Due to the pollution issues at Lake Windermere, we needed to find a safe, clean alternative at short notice and did not want to let our charities down. The team at Andark were incredibly accommodating and welcomed the three of us without hesitation. The lake was clean, well managed and provided the perfect environment for us to complete our challenge safely. We are so grateful for their support, kindness and flexibility. Thanks to Andark Lake, we were able to achieve our goal and continue raising money for some very worthwhile causes. Highly recommended.
