Really good first stay at this site 16 to 20 May
We had a really good first stay at this site in May. The site is very clean and tidy and it is an easy walk in to Brockenhurst. We have already booked to go back

Lovely Site 'But'
Lovely site having been here before and would recommend this and we will go again., however do not use Pitches 87,88 and 89 as this is next to the 'DOG PIT STOP' and the smell from dog mess is awful, this area is used a dog walk and is completely unnecessary as the site is surrounded by the wonderful New Forest, We visited in May so in the heat of the summer the smell must be unbearable We would have rated this higher had it not been for the dog mess
For those that like rules there are plenty of these here and plenty of DO NOT signs all around the site,
LOVELY STAY
Stayed here for 3 lovely nights. Weather was fantastic. It’s our first stay since the facilities have been upgraded and what a difference they are beautiful. Not sure about the necessity of having a code for the door tho. Beautifully kept site and really friendly wardens. Thank you for a lovely stay, it was so quiet and peaceful.

Grounds
Our stay at Black Knowl was blessed with very nice and dry weather. Therefore l was greatly disappointed by the lack of care to the grounds, whilst we were there no area of grass was cut and therefore it start to look shabby.
It certainly was not up to the clubs high standard but of course all the mowers might have broken!
However, the amenities block was kept to a very high standard.
Amazing few days in the New Forest
First time at this site, perfect for walking into Brockenhurst. Site is spotlessly clean & Warden's very friendly & helpful. Didn't want to leave (helped by the amazing weather). Perfect site with Forest on your doorstep. So much walking & cycling to hand. Can't wait to return
Wow
We stayed here over Bank Holiday weekend - a friendly smile from the warden on arrival was a great start to our break. Cycling here is fab, we went towards Beaulieu and then stopped at The Buttery in Brockenhurst on the way back - good value for money. Drove to Milford-on-Sea and walked along coast path.
This site is highly recommended - excellent facilities and very friendly wardens
What's not to like!
Relatively quiet four day break before the May Day bank holiday. Friendly welcome to a great site with excellent facilities, great cycling and walking in the forest. Although the weather was cool we made the most of our stay - have ho hesitation recommending if you enjoy the great outdoors.
Beautifully clean and well laid out
The site was recently upgraded and this certainly shows.
The toilet and shower block facilities were always immaculately clean and there always seemed to be enough facilities.
The site location is very attractive in the New Forrest approximately 1.5 miles from Brokenhurst. The walk to Brokenhurst was very pleasant when we walked in but would possibly not be suitable for the very elderly or infirm if you need to get groceries etc.
The site does have a few items for sale in the reception area but they are largely "essentials" rather than your weekly shop.
The overall impression was that the site was well run and the staff were always friendly and helpful.
I am sure we would be delighted to return here again.
Great location and reall quiet
Super site, so quiet and not near any roads etc.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
There is a great flat walk into Brockenhurst via a gravel track through the forest.
Brockenhurst is really great with a number of good pubs doing food and real ales etc.
Local shops are fantastic, the butchers, bakers and greengrocer are a must, plus a huge "small" Tesco and Sainsbury's in the high street.
Showers and toilets on site are very clean and tidy.
The locks on the doors are easy to use?
Chemical toilet emptying is really good.
Recycling in easy to follow.
Great site, well done!
March 2019 Visit
This was our first visit to Black Knowl and we will definitely be returning. Superb location for walking and cycling and the New Forest. We took our two cocker spaniels and they loved their morning ball exercise just outside the campsite. Not an ideal site without a car. Great shower block and extremely level pitch for which we needed no blocks. With so many taking bikes I wonder if a bike shed would be handy. Really welcoming wardens. Well stocked Tesco Express in Brockenhurst nearby. Our son who is at uni in Southampton stayed for 2 of the 4 nights of our visit and he loved it - his first motorhome break.
