Great for exploring the new forest
Just arrived back after a 2 week stay at Back Knowl. It is a large site and while we were there pretty much full most nights, everywhere was clean and while at times some of the bands where clearly missing, the majority of people were adhering to latest COVID policy. We didn’t think the upkeep of the site was any noisier than any other site we have stayed on, we thought it was peaceful and relaxing, also everyone has the right (providing club rules are followed) to stay on sites in whatever unit they want: be it old, new, small or large. The site is perfect to explore the new forest by foot or bike and there’s a flat 4 mile ‘ish’ return walk into Brockenhurst, which is a nice village. It’s not far to drive to Lyndhurst, Lymington, Beaulieu/Bucklers Hard, or drive slightly further to visit the coast and quays - Milford on Sea, Mudeford, Christchurch. We had a great holiday. Oh, and any dog owners like us, do please pick up on the dog area, it isn’t up to the wardens to pick up after our dogs, and no one should put them in a situation where they have to close the small dog area for 24 hrs (it happened during our stay), because of the small minority who think they shouldn’t pick up.
