South coast campsite with slipway

Can anyone recommend a quality, quiet, clean, campsite, with electric hook up that will take tent and boat trailer. Must be within reach of a good solid slipway as I don't have a 4x4. Preferably near to the Hamble area but I'm not fussy providing I can get easy access to the Solent. I want to bring the family down for a couple of long weekends this summer and maybe meet some of the people I met at last years SR gathering for a run out and possibly a few beers.

A family of 2 adults & 2 children with a 4m RIB, staying in a 4-man tent would be charged £43/night during the school summer holidays

I believe that pentewan sands at mevagissey as a slip but i've never been but could be worth a ring.

Yes, 'tis nice. The campsite has a tractor launch facility over the beach, but it gets really busy and you can end up queuing for ages to launch and you have to be back out early(ish).

Thanks Biff, Neil, it sounds ideal looking at the rest of the replies on here. Do you know what the slip charges are, I suppose can always call and find out myself now I have a name and address. If anyone has any other recomendations they are most welcome. Thanks again.

Once I get some dates sorted I'll post them on RIBnet and maybe a few of you might be up for a run out and a few beers afterwards?
