A CARAVAN site near Winchester has seen a £3.5m refurbishment including new facilities, new hardstanding and an improved layout with better access to pitches.

Morn Hill Caravan Club Site showed off its new look, which also includes new serviced, premium and designated ferry pitches, to Winchester MP Steve Brine when he visited last week. 

Mr Brine said: “It was great to visit Winchester Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite today in Hampshire and it was easy to see why it is a popular destination for tourers. I am sure that campsite visitors across the year will also bring a welcome boost to the local visitor economy.”
