Not again !!!!

This has to be our all time favourite site having visited it many times But as it seems to be on all sites now why are units allowed to pitch with doors facing each other ? Surely the wardens should check that pitching is done in the way that is instructed on arrival

Shame about the Showers!

As we came up to the site, there were ponies and cattle grazing by the road side, such a wonderful sight! The road leading to Black Knowl is pot holed and fitted with many sleeping policemen, not fun with a caravan behind, or without for that matter. Part way down the road we thought that we had gone wrong; but as we turned the corner, the site was ahead of us, thank goodness. Wonderful location, and friendly staff greeted us. The most disappointing point about the site, is clearly the toilets/showers, the idea of WC, basin and shower in each cubicle, is sound, but they are very sad and tired, and too few! We would love to come again, and do hope that issues can be resolved to make this a top class destination for visits to the New Forest.

Old and tired

Much has been said about this site. The location is second to none, you are in the heart of the forest. What the club charge for this site is now outrageous for the facilities provided. No heating in the rooms, very poor water pressure, cracked and missing tiles in the rooms, hard standings that flood due to poor drainage, outside washing up point. Also beware when you arrive as when you pull into the lane for booking in you are confronted by the wardens car, parked in the lane against a no parking sign, but one again much has been said about the wardens on this site. This is a fantastic location but we will not be returning until the club spends some serious money on it.

Be Aware

Site location is absolutely perfect but we warned that 2 of the Wardens are miserable and unfriendly which makes dealing with them very uncomfortable. The shower and toilet facilities are really in a desperate state and urgently need a complete overall.

Unique Site

Stayed here for 3 nights during the last week in September 2015. The site is excellent, the location is really in the heart of the forest, on the edge of Brockenhurst. It is not the easiest site to find on a first visit, and the map we were given on arrival was very useful, but would have been so much more so if we had had it before our arrival. We missed the site 3 times before getting it right, and turning places are few and far between. However, having found our way, the site is lovely. The pitches are very good, and the facilities are different from anywhere else we have stayed. Each one is an individual bathroom, with shower, hand basin and loo. Although they are clean with lots of hot water, the water pressure is a little low, and the infrastructure is a little worn out. However, I understand that the bathrooms are due for a refurbishment in the near future. Having said that, they are perfectly serviceable and well looked after. The site is very secluded, and we were lucky enough to hear lots of owls, and on one occasion a stag bellowing in the forest. Beware of loose animals, particularly ponies, and PLEASE stick to the 40 limit in the Forest. All in all, a lovely place to visit.

september

love this site, great area, really relaxing, the toilet block is still the original which i know others dont like but theres more room in each cubeicle than other modern blocks and you dont spend more than 15 minutes in it, The area is great for walking, cycling, its a shame theres no papers anymore or the local baker doesn't visit as the iced buns were yummy! but i would go there if you havent been before and its also great in late autumn as the tress change colours.

Away from it all

This site is right in the heart of the New Forest and ideal for walkers, dog owners, tree huggers (sorry, no insult intended), leaf peepers and those who generally like the Forest and want peace and quiet. The Forest opens up in front of you right outside the site gate. It's genuinely a get away from it all site. Some more hard standings wouldn't go amiss and the facilities are rather tired although clean and perfectly usable.
