We stayed at the Black Knowl site over the May bank holiday weekend. The site is in a wonderful rural location in the heart of the New Forest with excellent walking and cycling on the doorstep. The Wardens are helpful and the site is well maintained and clean with lots of space between pitches. The real let down is the shower block which is awful, especially when you are paying what is a not inconsiderable amount per night. The showers were never hot and lacked any power, a dribble being perhaps a more accurate description. We have always looked forward to club site showers as they are usually decent and piping hot, just what you need after a day of walking in the rain, but these were a real let down and the cubicles are cold and dated. I have long hair and the flow was too weak to rinse all the soap out (and the water was only lukewarm at best). Location wise, Brockenhurst is about 15/20 minutes away if you are cycling and about a 40/50 minute walk. You will need to cycle on the main road into Brockenhurst and I wasn't that comfortable with our young daughter cycling this stretch as some of the car drivers were complete lunatics but this is no reflection on the site. There are no play facilities for children but with the heath on your doorstep, covered with ponies and wildlife, this should not a problem.
