This was an informal meeting organised by members of the VW California Club forum. Twenty odd Californias descended on this Tranquil park site near Ringwood on the edge of the New Forest. This adult only site is nicely laid out and walks extend out to the nearby countryside.

There’s a bar on-site and food trucks visit most days.

The weather was cold and damp Friday and Saturday so we didn’t get much of an opportunity to meet other Cali owners but we met up in the bar in the evenings. The “Blue Tides” Blues band provided Saturday evening entertainment.

On Sunday we drove into the New Forest itself and enjoyed a long lunch with our friends from Hayling Island. The Sir Walter Tyrell also has its own campsite but this wasn’t accessible due to the recent wet weather but we were allocated a spot at the back of the carpark. After lunch a walk in the surrounding area with a visit to Rufus stone.
