The New Forest Club Campsite was originally part of a Second World War airfield and parts of the original runway still exist. There is also a memorial to the New Forest Airfields just to the north of the caravan park, making this a very attractive destination should you be interested in war history.

There is also an excellent dog walk plus loads of fun play equipment and a safe play field for younger visitors.

RUBBISH

New Forest Centenary Club Campsite
This new ruling of there only being 1 central point for rubbish is absolute nonsense, it is positioned in the car park just before the reception meaning you've got a bit of a walk. This is fine if you have no mobility problems but if like me you have serious joint problems then it is NO good, I'm told it is to save money?? i do not expect to pay very high pitch prices and not have decent facilities such as bins in convenient places. I will not be renewing my membership this year!

Unnecessary Changes

New Forest Centenary Club Campsite
We visit this site twice per year, an indication that we like it. However the recent change to “centralised waste” is just plain ridiculous. It’s a large site that can very easily accommodate 2 areas for waste bins. A bit of forethought on the clubs part can easily address this. The club need to remember that we are on holiday and should provide the facilities to recognise this. I’m really not bothered about green awards and such like, we deserve what we pay for. Moving on to other issues; Guests need to be aware that their own dogs and their behaviour is their own problem. Whatever happened to get a dog walk to heel like our own dogs used to before they departed. Simply, laziness on the part of the owner. It is NOT ACCEPTABLE for you dog to foul any pitch regardless if it’s picked up or not. Using the excuse of I’ve been to the dog walk and he didn’t go is pure fantasy. Stay there until it does. Letting any dog foul someone else’s pitch is strictly not on, keep our dog to paved/ gravel areas. Children do actuall play on the grass and are at risk even its feaces are “picked up”. It’s never the dogs fault, ITS THE OWNER for lack of training or control. YOUR DOG YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Cyclists. The speed limits apply to you as well. Get off site and do your time trial, on site is not the place. Although this review is my own experience of centenery last two weeks it is the same issue everywhere. Wardens very helpful at all times, but their hands are tied to really do anything about the highlighted issues above. CAMC; how about stepping up to the plate, sutes are going backwards,

Smelly bins due to new policy

New Forest Centenary Club Campsite
I have stayed at this site at least six times every year since starting caravaning 3 years ago it was one of my favourite sites. I was going to book again this week but I am off somewhere else today. All the bins where removed last Monday and you now have to walk across the site to drop rubbish to a central point that really smells, as we hit 27c today the smell will be horrendous. The club’s excuse is that it is making green savings which is rubbish (sorry about the pun). There is no saving as a very large number of people onsite now drive to the rubbish drop off point as like myself they have issues with walking, so the net green saving is actually not a saving but an increase in CO2 emissions I small tractor(which should be electric) verses 100+ cars no savings (apart from money for the club) at all. No thought about the members or their needs.

Poor wifi and pointless waste/recycling position move.

New Forest Centenary Club Campsite
Where as the facilities on this site require some maintenance they are adequate for most people’s needs. The site is well kept with excellent dog walking facilities and travelling out to places gives people plenty of options being it be coastal or more inland towns and villages the take away food vans offer excellent food. Beware at present if you get a pitch at the far ends of the site or you have mobility issues the only waste/recycling area is now positioned at the far end of the late arrival area and is not illuminated at night. While we were there the on site wifi was next to useless.

Dissapointed

New Forest Centenary Club Campsite
I have stayed on this site before and thought it was great. The facilities are not as amazing as some of the other sites, but are still pretty good. The site is in a great location, with access to cycle trails, the forest and coast. The site was busy this time, however staff did not always seem to know what was going on. Some of the check in and extensions admin was difficult. I asked about wifi and if there were any better or worse pitches... I was told no it was the same and the premium service was good. It wasn't great anywhere on the site. Better by the office and had to sit in the car to make some work calls. Some pitches were better than others, though staff were oblivious to this. The other very concerning issue was that there were a number of bike thefts while we were there. Apparently it is a known problem and nights when it rains heavily the site is targeted as people can't hear. I saw just one small poster saying that thieves were opperating in just 1 toilet block. If this is a known issue why is it not flagged up better? THis could be mentioned at check in (especially if rain is forcast) and there should be lots of signs up. I would never expect to have bikes stolen from an awning over night. I have to say the whole thing made me very uncomfortable and unsafe.
