This was our third year running to Black Knowl, absolutely love this site. The shower blocks do need updating a bit, but personally I think they are quaint! They are part of the site :) the facilities and grounds are well kept. Any previous comments regarding pot holes on the access roads can now be forgotten about as they were filled in whilst we were there. The wardens were excellent, always pleased to help and chat to! Brockenhurst is a 30 minute walk from the site along a nice little path, or it's easy enough to drive to. Lymington and Lyndhurst are only a short drive away too. Looking forward to going back next year regardless if the modernisation  has been done!
