We stayed there about three years ago, in the Spring. Busy but not heaving. You drive through the car/bus park to get to the motorhome parking area. I think there was barrier which was closed in the evening, so if intending to arrive late then check times. A good stopover and visit. We were amazed at the number of people (Japanese tourists) pouring off the coaches at 9.0am the next morning.

Sue and I stopped there in May last year and it was fine, in fact we will be there again sometime next week as we amble over to the Somme. The gate is locked from 8pm to 8am and there's an underpass in to the village. It is on grass but it is reinforced though. As an aside, there were 3 coach loads of Japanese tourists waiting at the gate by opening time

Monets Garden
We have been there. There seemed to be plenty of space on the aire. Although as already said there are no services. The house and gardens are well worth a visit but I thought the art gallery just down from the house was a total waste of money. You can take photos inside the house but with no flash.
Enjoy. pj

Nice trip planned Peter.
Leave here 11th April, Highclere Castle for the boss' birthday on the 12th and a bit of a look round darn sarf before the tunnel on the 19th. A visit to Claude's wee garden 20th, possible mooch around Versailles during the next couple of days then busking it down to Barcelona for the Spanish Grand Prix. Leave Barcelona the Monday after the race and back on the tunnel trip the following Friday. Birmingham Symphony concert on the Sunday and back to the grim North sometime after that.:camper:

When you enter go straight for the underpass which is actually behind you when you stand at the ticket office. If you do this at opening time you will have a fighting chance of seeing the pond garden before the Japanese are three or four deep with iPads held aloft. Do the house and the rest of the garden after. Last time we were there, 4 or 5 coaches were already waiting to disgorge passengers at first entry time.
