Black Knowl refurbishment

We have had an excellent holiday recently and all the wardens, without exception, were most helpful and kind. We understand that there will be big changes to the site. We heard that the new road through the site is planned to be gravel which would cause great difficulty for people like me who have to rely completely on a mobility scooter. It would also be noisy for wheeled waste containers etc. It could also make for some danger to cyclists and children.

Best ever

We found this the best site we have been to for relaxation, peace and quiet and places to see. Our only negative is the toilet block but not an issue as we have our own facilities. site wardens were extremely helpful and approachable

Stayed at this site 9th and 10th July 2016

Friendly and helpful staff. The current toilet block arrangement is quirky but they are clean and functional. My wife says the down side is no handwash or bins in the individual compartments but apart from that they are good for families. The location is down a long track which is a bind as we were asked to leave by 1100hrs due to a local fun run using the track from 1115. Without this you are expected to be gone by 1130 with no room to negotiate as the track isn't really wide enough for two way caravan traffic. Big downside for us as there are other sites nearby with comparable facilities that allow late leavers to stay a bit longer. There is no play area for younger children, another big downside for us with two kids aged 5 and 7. Arriving late on a Friday after the kids finish school we were also at a disadvantage having to take whatever pitches are left which is another negative for families but I realise this is a CC thing. The site is quiet and though, away from any main roads. Not really family orientated.

Soooooo Quiet and Peaceful

Have not slept so well in years ....the site was completely silent between 10pm and 7am and I never heard a single think other than the odd bird singing as I awoke (and all the windows on the campavan were wide open so if there was noise I would have heard it). Lovely peaceful location, generous pitches, friendly staff would like to have stayed longer and explored the area, but will return for a proper break soon.

Oh boy what a toilet block !

Access to the site is not easy with street restrictions and some fierce speed humps ( that destroy jockey wheels ). The site location in the forest is excellent as are the staff on site, but the sooner the club pulls down the toilet block the better

Great two weeks, Can't wait to go back

Spent the last two weeks on the site and had a fantastic time. Yes the wardens are helpful and friendly, Yes the toilet block is dated, most of the reviews will tell you that, although in truth, it's not the blocks being dated that's the problem, its just that there are simply not enough cubicles for a site of this size which means a wait of around 5 minutes in the morning. So what are the plus points, well you're in the new forest so the walking and cycling is second to none. You are about 10 minutes from Brockenhurst station which means you are minutes away from Lymington, Southampton, Poole and Bournemouth. For all the cyclist amongst us, Traffic is very considerate to all road users, no one came within a meter of me. Also the New Forest Cycling club have a chaingang on a Tuesday that leaves the ford at around 7:00Pm and a Saturday club training ride that leaves the car park at the rear of sainsburys at 9:00 am on a Saturday. Be warned though the Club run is around 19 MPH so its a bit quick. but the club members are a friendly bunch and its a great ride. They do require that all non club members contact the club coach Barry Wootton on 07711 631826 in advance and helmets are compulsory.

Lovely one night stay

This was our first stay in our new motorhome staff was very friendly the site was lovely, clean and peaceful, right in the heart of the new forest exactly where we wanted to be surrounded by the horses as soon as you go out the gate, our children are under 5 and had a fab time playing on the grass outside our camper unfortunately no playground by no big deal as you can have fun anyway. Defiantly would stay again.

Short break

We had a lovely weekend here , it was especially fun for our 18 month cockerpoo who loved all the open space . Right in the middle of the new forest , we couldn't have wished for a better location. ?????? I understand the shower block is to be referbished so once this is done it will make a massive difference as it is in great need of it. The wardens were lovely and friendly and the site nice and clean. We will definitely be back , 2 nights just wasn't enough !! Caroline, Vic and Daisy ????????

Our lovely week at Brockenhurst

We had a lovely quiet week at this site. What a lovely site and area. The only negative was the shower block but we still had a fabulous stay. The wardens are so friendly and happy in their work. I would not have fish and chips from the on site van again, the fish had been frozen and did not taste very nice. We manage to see some deer next to our caravan on morning at 4am. Lovely places to visit in the area. Will visit again next year.

1st time at a club site.

We read some reviews before we booked and some mentioned the toilet/shower block needed updating. Not being put off by others we still booked and very glad we did. Absolutely loved the site,location and thought the shower block was better than the normal rows of wc's and showers. So much better to be able to do everything in one room. This is our first club site and was so peaceful we will return. Great location to walk the dog into brockenhurst for drinks and food at the huntsman pub. We had a grass pitch for our motorhome which was perfect to watch the sun go down with a nice glass of wine.
