Peaceful, well located site
Only the hardstanding pitches were in use when we visited (midweek, March) so it was only about 30% full and very quiet. Friendly, helpful staff and retro shower cubicles - very private, I'd keep them but apparently they're due for renovation. The walks from the site are fantastic, particularly along the Lymington River if you're lucky enough to find it. Why not 5 stars? Well, firstly the speed bumps on the approach road are unnecessarily vicious and even at a crawl you may catch your stowed jockey wheel (or worse) on them. Secondly, walking distance to Brockenhurst is a good 40 minutes via a roundabout route across open forest (heathland) which at one point was impassably boggy. You wouldn't want to do this walk back from a night in the pub! But it's a great spot for walkers and immaculately maintained by a hard-working staff. Recommend the Snakecatcher pub in the village, good food, nice contemporary atmos, if you prefer a more traditional, old style pub vibe then the Foresters is also good.
