Enjoyable visit, as usual, but....

We have visited this site in excess of 10 times over the years, so suffice to say we like it. The facilities are spotless, the wardens are great and work hard to keep the site in top condition. Our most recent visit was with our 7 year old twin grand-daughters who thoroughly enjoyed the Tourer Explorer trail and we spent a fair amount of time cycling with them around the site, improving their confidence on their bikes. The site was busy but my only criticism was with the parents of numerous teenagers who allowed them to cycle / race around the site with no regard to one way systems. I know it may sound jobs worth, but the one way system on club sites is there for a reason, safety, safety of drivers, pedestrians, cyclist and children. During the weekend we had several close shaves with other cyclists. The site is great and I thoroughly recommend it but please be aware of one way systems and the reason for them.

Even better than our last visit

This site is ideal for touring the NF. It is well run, well kept, with a wide variety of pitch types in several different areas. The facilities blocks are always clean with great hot showers. The pitch sizes are generous and even more of them than the last time we were here. Take your bikes, and cycle for miles enjoying the surrounding areas. Reception is well stocked with slightly higher priced general foodstuffs etc. It is very quiet at night. Highly recommended is the NF open topped bus tour, hop on/ hop off service with a bus stop at the site entrance. Have a day off from driving, and give it a whirl, you won't be disappointed.

Chill out few days

Had yet another fantastic visit to the site. Was greeted warmly by the warden who remembered us from our visit a few weeks before. All wardens very friendly and helpful. Deb even had my papers ready as I walked into reception one morning. Facilities lovely and clean and well maintained. Fish and chips on Saturday were excellent. Will definately be back. Members on site were very helpful, due to my husbands recent operation they helped with carrying water and taking out awning pegs and lifting awning into caravan, so thank you. Obviously weather made it even more special. Lovely just chilling on site . We will be back 26th July 2018

An excellent site

As a newbie and only being the second time out in our campervan, this proved to be an excellent site. It's well situated within the New Forest and has first class facilities. It's quite a large site, but well laid out and was relatively full during our visit.. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The only thing we really missed were trees (rather than hedging) around the pitches, though to be honest it wasn't unexpected when looking at the photos. The bonus was a fish chip van visiting the site on Saturday evening! Highly recommended, we certainly will return.

A Pleasure To Return

After a gap of 9 years it was a pleasure to return for 6 days see how the site planting had matured over the years. This was a well planned project from the outset and a model for the rest of the network. Any site is only as good as the staff and here they excelled. Working tirelessly morning, noon and into the late evening to keep all facilities in prinstene condition. Thankyou and well done.

Well placed site

The site was full to bursting whilst we were there this was our eighth visit, the wardens are friendly helpful and welcoming. Cannot fault the site at all but like a previous reviewer some of the people who visit the amenities leave them in a disgusting condition after use and I feel really sorry for the wardens who have to clean up after them. The site is well situated to visit the beauty spots that surround the area and is well worth a visit you won't regret it

Best of the best

We have visited many sites and ended up here as a late notice booking. What a wonderful and beautiful site. The facilities were excellent, clean and well maintained. The dog walking area is the best we have found and the agility area was a real joy to find. Location is perfect for the forest and visiting all the local scenic spots and just a short drive to the various beaches. Honestly can't wait to go back!

Very very good

We normally use Black Knowl in the new forest. This was fully booked for our dates. Took a chance on the Centenary and was so pleased we did. Probably the friendliest bunch of staff we have ever encountered on a club site. One of the cleanest sites we have been to as well. Nothing seemed too much trouble for any of them. I've seen a couple of reviews complaining about 1) directions 2) site being full. 3) noise from A35 1) follow the directions displayed on the site direction part on web page. If you have a problem with these you need to consider whether you should be driving 2) Ask and you will be told. The top part is only open after end June because of restrictions in the agreement with landholders? 3) suggest to escape any noise the outer Hebrides is nice this time of year. It seems if someone can complain they will. Now for my complaint, it's not about the staff/club/site etc, it's actually about us members. Gentlemen, it would really be nice if you could clean the sinks after you use them. Finding bristles after someone else has had a shave is pretty much disgusting in my book. Yes it's your responsibility to clean up after yourself. Cubicles are provided for washing and shaving, surely common sense must prevail and tell you that public sinks are for hand washing after using the toilets not for a complete wash, shave and brush up. Anyone using the washing up area, agains, cleaning around after your own use is not beyond your capabilities. It's all too common to complain about the club and staff, but sometimes people need to look,at themselves and their behaviour. All on all, one of the best sites I have had the pleasure in visiting and will be again very soon

Busy but very enjoyable

Not surprisingly given that it was May half-term it was very busy and the wardens were certainly kept on their toes but there was always a smile to be had and I'd like to say a big thank you to them all but particularly Steve and Deborah I think it was (sorry if I've got it wrong!) for all their hard work and knowledge of the area. The facilities were kept clean and tidy - not an easy task I would imagine - and the site looked very well maintained. Thank you, looking forward to a return visit.
