A lovely New Forest CL

We (2 adults and 1 dog) stayed for 12 nights in June. We originally booked for 2021 but a change in work commitments necessitated cancelling this booking. The CL very generously transferred our deposit to 2022. Access is easy following the directions provided. NB : Avoid school pick up times as the surrounding roads will be busy. Whilst some care is required, any caravan / motor-home should find accessing the CL through the two gates stress free (our caravan is 8ft wide). We were welcomed by Candace who was lovely and left the pitch choice to us. We chose the corner under the trees to provide afternoon shade. All pitches are level...ish with only minor leveling required (to satisfy my OCD!). The site is all grass which is meticulously maintained in that the grass is cut after each departure. This means that the ride on mower runs for very short length of time thus reducing any disturbance to a minimum - some club sites seem to be continuously being noisily mown. The on site facilities (1 toilet and 1 toilet / shower) were always well maintained and very pleasant. The shower is chargeable - not an issue to us as we always use the van shower. 10A EHU is provided to each pitch with a single tap near the entrance. Grey and black water waste together with bins are well organized next to the WCs / shower. Other reviews mention noise from the adjoining road being intrusive. Perhaps because we live on a main road, we never noticed this. Convenient for many attractions, Ringwood town and of course the New Forest. We did visit Beaulieu (utilizing the CAMC discount) which, for both the petrol head and history buff, is great. Motor-homers should note that the local bus service is limited (as discovered by some motor-homers we chatted to on site). As others have mentioned, there are good shops and pubs in easy walking distance - we found The London Tavern to be very good for food, quality ale and service. There are good dog walks near by where they can run free and the New Forest makes a nice cool, sheltered walk away from the (in our case) very strong sun. We experienced very little rain and lots of hot sunshine which made our pitch choice wise in hindsight as the afternoon shade was much appreciated - nudging 30 degrees phew! A very pleasant stay on a CL which we would happily recommend to others.
