We started off taking our mobile home to France and Spain and I have to say this is the second UK site we have stayed at and I much prefer the sites provided here.
This particular site gave us a pitch that was very well laid out with plenty of space for our motorhome, trailer and a small car. You never felt like your neighbour was too close. We went for a pitch with electric, water and waste and was very impressed with the supply of these things (overseas the water facility leaves a lot to be desired). Some pitches (half a dozen) were covered in white sheeting and after talking to the staff this was readily explained to me. When a pitch has had a lot of wear and looks a little tired over the summer, they reseed it and cover it so that it can sweat therefore it waters the seed itself and keeps it warm over a few months during the winter when the site isn't so busy, this gives it the chance to regrown and recover nicely. I'm glad I asked as I was curious.
The toilet block was very clean indeed and the showers were very hot with a good flow (as good as mine at home). All the staff (plenty there to help) were all very helpful. I asked where to eat, where to walk with the dog, and where was the best beach and every enquiry was answered with a smile and a cheerful response. There is in fact a separate room with lots of brochurs and folders so all the answers were at my finger tips but not once was I directed to 'look for myself', I was answered politely with each question, thank you all, a wonderful welcomed break. Will we return, of course we will. Lovely clean tidy place and lovely people. Thank You.
Super Site
A really nice site to visit, with excellent pitches & superb facilities which are maintained to a high standard. Friendly / helpful wardens.
Excellent location for access to various cycle paths in the Forest & to Christchurch.
Late September stay.
The cc book could give clearer instructions in directions to the site. The warden on arrival said there was an issue with the local council on signage from the A35 which is poor. However its a lovely site. Very clean facilities and friendly wardens. Will definitely return.
Pitch Size
This is the second time we have stayed at this site. This time, when we arrived we were placed between two pitches on grass as for some reason quite a lot of the pitches were covered over and not in use.
It was not what we were expecting, as we had no warning when we booked and it was not what the people either side of us were expecting either!
Whatever the reason for doing this, as a Caravan Club Member it would have been considerate to have warned us prior to arrival.
Other than that it was as you would expect from a Caravan Club Site.
I would suggest that you check the pitch arrangements before you go, it was not what we were expecting.

Tranquility to die for.
Again our first visit to this site....we normally stay at Black Knowle when we visit the New Forest area. Handy for Leamington, Bournemouth and Christchurch as well as walking etc in the New Forest, this site provides an ideal base. Wardens absolutely spot on as usual (wonderful selection and training must be the key) as were all the site facilities. Peace and quiet reigns and we again had a site that captured the sun all day and certainly one didn't get the feeling of overcrowding despite the site being full.
Being the site of an old airfield the site was flat which made access around the site very pleasant. What more can one say.....a definite for our re-visit list.
what a lovely site
stayed at this site for seven nights late September, beautiful area and site excellent, all wardens very helpful, what a lovely , lovely part of the UK the new forest is, will definitely be returning.

Lovely Site, Helpful Staff
This is lovely site. We stayed here for a long weekend. When we arrived, the Wardens were very helpful & nothing was too much trouble. The facilities are impecably clean & conveniently located. There was a little road noise on our pitch although it didn't intrude or spoil out enjoyment of the site at all.
The thing that I found very noticeable the minute i got out of the car / van was the amazing birdsong from all of the birds in the 100s of trees around the site, it was amazing & something that will take me back to the site time & time again. The two dog walks on site, combined with the 100s around the New Forest make this site ideal for dog walkers & ramblers alike. We will certainly be returning soon.
excellent site
very welcoming and friendly wardens, spotless site, immaculate showers/toilets and great dog walking. The Crown pub up the road is great and local butchers is a must for bbq meat and sausages! We loved this place and cant wait to go back!! Faultless!
What a great site
What a great site, easy to get to, lots of places to visit.
Site staff were very helpful, we had only booked from Sunday to Wednesday but decided to stop an extra night. The site was quite busy with only one hard standing left but loads of grass pitches. 2 Dog walking areas on site, one enclosed so we could let the dogs have a run. We will defiantly be booking to go again next year :-)..
