Visited the camp twice this week, took quite a few pictures, there's alot of glass around, loads of broken windows, some of the buildings have some seriously dangerous holes, in what were the bathroom toilets of some of the structures. Very overgrown site, with some path's blocked with brambles.

Noticed a strong musty smell in some of the buildings.

A very overgrown patio ledge, covered in moss. I was trying to imagine people sitting outside in the summer enjoying the view, there is an amazing view of the Solent and the city of Portsmouth, and Portsea Island from this vantage point.

I did a report a while ago http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/showthread.php?t=19029#.VBdDkvlw750

I hear they have put in a planning application for building houses on the site.......

Hi there,

If you could have a read of the [ame="http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/showthread.php?t=16286"]guide to posting location reports[/ame], and edit this accordingly that would be great. Otherwise it's not really a report and will have to be removed.

Thank you.
