Another lovely stay. First class facilities. The wardens work extremely hard & go about there ‘duties’ with a smile. They have time for everyone & nothing is too much trouble. Despite the weather during the Kings Coronation they put on lovely gathering.
We highly rec this site ( returning again in August)
It sits in a lovely convenient location within easy walking distance to ‘ Brock’ of about 25-30mins ( longer if bad weather as have to avoid the flooded areas!)
Lovely to be back again
It was lovely to arrive back at Black Knowl. It was just so silent when we stepped out of our van and although the weather was not so good we thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay. The wardens were very helpful and cheerful, the site was immaculate the location in the forest is stunning. In addition to Forest walks we had a lovely day out in Lymington and then on to Milford on Sea. We found parking spaces for our 6.5m motorhome with ease in both places. We recommend the beach front carpark at Milford where Motorhomes can overhand the low verge and the walk out over the shingle towards the castle is lovely.
Brilliant site
Cannot praise this site too highly. The wardens are extremely pleasant, friendly and helpful. The toilet/shower blocks are kept very clean. Very quiet and calm. Pitches sizes good. Marvellous for dog walks in the forest. Will definitely come back again.

Lovely quiet site in the New Forest
Stayed here for 6 nights over the Easter weekend. Staff friendly and helpful as always. Site fully booked but no queuing for the facilities and not noisy. Chilli van came to the site and food was delicious. Unfortunately the fish and chip van didn’t come the week we were there and there was also pizza available on another night but we’d already eaten so didn’t try it. Access to site is straightforward from the M27. Easy to access Brockenhurst and other towns and villages. Lyndhurst is always busy with traffic but the New Forest was quiet despite it being a bank holiday. We had a lovely time away in our caravan.
Relaxing New Year Break
We booked this site last minute as we wanted to get away for new year with our 2 dogs and what a fantastic find. We have a motorhome so our plans were to do lots of walking whilst there and the previous reviews mentioned a footpath into town. Unfortunately on our visit, the footpath across the moor was impassable due to flooding on the day that we wanted to go into town, however this did not spoil our day as it just turned into a great game for our 18 month old Cockapoo who decided that the flooded moors were his own personal swimming pool and he had the time of his life splashing around in the water.
We walked down the main entrance track road and along the main road to Forest Park, a nearby hotel for drinks one evening. It is about a 40 minute walk from the site and was such a lovely venue and the dogs were made very welcome with biscuits offered to them on arrival. It is not the cheapest place to eat or drink but the staff were superb so we felt it was worth it.
We moved pitch on our third day as the wind was really picking up and we were up on the elevated section so moved to the lower section near the exit barrier and it was much more sheltered down there. The facilities were superb with many toilets and showers. The motorhome service point was great too as it was a drive over grid for draining the tanks which we prefer. This site was very peaceful and we will definitely return again.
Lovely Stay
Lovely site in the heart of the New Forest, just a 45 minute walk into Brockenhurst will definately return

such a peaceful site in the midst of New Forest beauty
This site has been updated with wonderful washroom facilities. There are no busy roads to negotiate after leaving the site. In fact 5 ponies cantered past me just outside the site! You feel like you are at one with nature.
A big "thank you" to the cheerful, helpful staff with plenty of advice on walks and the local area. They even went out of their way to post back my gloves that I left in the dishwashing area!
This site is a gem!
Best site!
Fantastic location- very peaceful. Loads of wildlife to see - deer and stags in next field and llamas too! Owls at night. Beautiful ponies a donkeys. Lovely walks into Brockenhurst. New Forest free walking app has clear directions for routes with marked paths. Great choice of pubs and cafes in Brockenhurst (about 40min walk across heathland or via woods or via roads.
Great for motorhomers who don’t want to drive anywhere.
Great for dogs. (ours was on lead due to excitement around ponies!)
Caught 10min train from Brockenhurst to Lymington and found route to nature reserve around sea walls after walking through quay area. Amazing seabirds. Dog friendly pub in Lymington.
Very clean site and spacious. Quite busy even in November!
Will definitely return.
Just great
Really terrific wardens. Had a couple of problems, dealt with in a professional, friendly and helpful manner, which makes all the difference.
This site is our favourite. Perfect location for walking and cycling. Plenty to do in the area, such as visiting the coast & getting the train to Winchester Xmas market. Site is in very good nick. We’ll be back.
Return visit
A site set in the heart of the forest ,but within walking distance of Brockenhurst , there are speed bumps on the access road but proposes no problems if driven at the correct speed , lots of walking and cycling to do in the area
