Lovely site but oh,that access road !

Spent 3 nights on this lovely site, everything great apart from the access road, this is now getting dangerous due to the amount of very deep potholes ! I understand the road is share owned between the forestry commission and the club and something needs doing asap before damage is done to either a members car or caravan. Getting difficult to avoid them no matter how carefully you drive. Yes, the winter and adverse weather conditions has affected it but it should be addressed, the warden did mention we need to complain to get anything done! Apart from all that the site is immaculate and everyone friendly and helpful.

Great Site

We arrived at the site on Friday 16th March 2018. The wardens very welcoming. Site and toilet block clean and fresh. The only issue was the road into the site lots of pot holes so be careful The site would be ok for families if the children love walking, site very quiet loved our stay. Will return. Our dogs loved it. Thank you for such a lovely couple days away and for your help and understanding when we thought we were going to be snowed in.

Beautiful New Forest Site

Spent two nights at the recently refurbished and reopened Black Knowl Site. Couldn’t fault it. New toilet and shower spotless. Lovely walks from the Site into the Forest. We needed our wellies as quite muddy and large puddles on the walk into Brockenhurst. Look forward to returning.

Fabulous snowy stay!

Our arrival was delayed by a day due to the campsite being cut off with snow! The wardens were so good at keeping us up to date with the accessibility etc. and when we did arrive, were so welcoming. This is a lovely site, with fabulous walks and cycle tracks direct from the campsite in all directions. When we arrived there were lots of deer tracks through the snow in the site, but sadly we didn't see the deer this time. Lots of birds and ponies, 'though. You really feel like you are in the middle of the Forest, but with all the facilities you need! The new facilities are great - a definite improvement! Lovely warm toilet/shower block, good motorhome/campervan facilities. All very easy and convenient. Can't wait to come back again soon! (The track to the campsite is a bit potholed, but was not a problem for us.) Thank you to the wardens.

Much improved site with a few reservations

Having been to this site many times the upgrade is good however I did notice that the arrivals stop line was very close to the new barrier makeing it a bit precarious with a long outfit going through. Secondly this is the first time I’ve managed to bog down my jockey wheel on hard standing and I noticed a few others had the same problem .Ime sure this will get better next season

Great site but hazardous access

First visit since redevelopment. BUT....... Watched the redev video and saw the excavators at work - pity the contractors didn't have a spirit level as all the new serviced pitches sloped!! Some things hadn't changed though - lock on ladies toilets was broken!! I know the club will say that the access road from Ober Corner is not their responsibility but the potholes were even worse than they always were, some being 3-4 inches deep. Very hazardous for ALL users and whilst not legally liable I do feel the club have a moral responsibility to maintain it. No point having speed limit signs on site which say "helping to keep you safe" when the potholes do the opposite. The state of the road lets down what is otherwise a "flagship" (and expensive) site. If anyone at CMC read these reviews, then perhaps whoever is in charge can do something - it needs doing!

Relaxing mid week break

Decided to have a mid week break and were extremely pleased to be going back to Black Knowle. We were pleasantly surprised by the renewal of the facilities and the expansion of hard standings now, the wardens on duty were so very friendly and helpful

Didn't find the lost caravan lol. 😜

When looking at reviews before coming here I saw the one about lost caravan so was a bit concerned. As we drove down to the gates we had actually gone over the cattle grid before I remembered about it. Have seen worst pot holes on Crowley Rd in oxford lol. Can't fault the site really apart from I would agree about the closeness of the pitches as very hard to get in and out without going on the grass which was one thing the wardens where insistent on so maybe might be an idea to fill corners with a coloured shingle, just saying. Overall great site, great wardens 👍. That good we forgot to go home today so had to pay for another night which was no problem at all to anyone. We will be back.

Follow up on previous review.

Firstly apologies for "shouting" with "WE" which of course should read We. I forgot to mention that as I have reached the older age range and become a touch on the lazy side, we used one of the serviced pitches which worked extremely well with and improved waste water collection point others we have seen on club sites.
