Really lovely site and very helpful and nice wardens. Just a shame we cannot guarantee the weather! Will definitely be returning. We found the shower facilities and toilet blocks ample for everyone and absolutely spotless.
Pitches are so small it's really hard to cram everything in. Wifi is so flaky, it's worse than useless. Always had to queue for showers, most unlike any other club site. Just too many people here for the facilities. Wardens are very nice though.
Just returned from 14days at this club site had an excellent time close to Bournemouth and Brockenhurst etc. The forest is always interesting with lots of animals roaming. The only downside was we had a family next to us who had three dogs one was always on a lead another was on a lead most of the time and the last one was hardly ever on a lead, the one that was always on a lead was pegged next to the pitch marker on a 5m lead which meant we could not go out the front of our awning without a dog approach. We did not complaine as the stress is not worth the effort.
We have just come back from a week at this site, which we have visited several times before. Unfortunately this time we had the inconvenience of pitching next to a caravan with a free roaming CAT!!!. The caravan had a cat flap fitted which while the owners were away for the day (everyday) the cat used this facility to tour the local area visiting other peoples awnings and generally annoying the other pets (DOGS) which were all under control, except the dog which broke free and chased the cat for several minutes around the vicinity which started all the dogs off in the area. Reading the club rules it says that all animals should kept under control at all times perhaps it should be made clear to cat owners that this is the rule and also those people who have dogs but do not obey the rules, because "their dog/s wouldn't hurt a fly or cause a nuisance".
We are a family of 4 with 2 children aged 8 and 3. We had been recommended this site due to its location and it did not disappoint. We travelled easily to Portsmouth and Bournemouth during our stay. My husband and eldest son enjoyed a 19 mile cycle ride on mainly off road tracks whilst I nursed our youngest back to health following a sickness bug. During this day I was able to make full use of the facilities on offer. The washing machines and tumble dryer did their job on 2 separate occasions and I really could not fault the toilet and shower facilities either. The infant room especially was very nice. Our oldest made good use of the play equipment on site and did plenty of cycling around the site on the quiet and safe roads. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this site for anyone.
A large, well kept site with excellent facilities. Pitches are a good size and although the site was always near full capacity while we were there, it never seemed overcrowded. It is a good site for exploring the New Forest by bike. There is a route directly from the site or you can cycle just a short distance to Holmley Camping Site and pick up several routes. We cycled to Burley and can fully recommend a cream tea at the Cider Pantry - best we've ever had. For rainy days with a family, we had a great day at the Splash Park at Tower Park in Poole. Best to book tickets on the Internet to avoid very, very long queues. This was our first visit to the South Coast as we normally stick to the tried and tested South West. Although we did miss the rolling countryside, quaint villages and the surf, we did enjoy the numerous amount of places to visit and we were never short of things to do in this part of the UK.
Arrived on a wet and windy thursday but the wardens were very welcoming and full of smiles . Large site but in a good location for visiting the area , left out of the site in about half a mile is a lovely walk in the new forest with the wild ponies along the way.not far ftom Christchurch Bournemouth and lots of little beach side towns. We enjoyed crabbing at Mundesley. One thing i would like to see is people poop scooping when they take their dogs on the dog walk .i do and i think its only fair to other dog walkers as at night its difficult to miss it!!! Other than that enjoyed our stay would return.
This is our first time to this site. We spent the first week at Black Knowl then a week here. For us the location of this Centenary site was better, we had two of our Grandchildren stop with us and it was not far to the beaches and other attractions. The toilet blocks were very good always kept clean and plenty of them never had to queue. On our arrival we received a good welcome from the Wardens. We spoke to Robin and his wife on several occasions and they were always jovial and friendly. Would go back there again
We visit this site at least once every year and are never disappointed, it's in a great location, the wardens are very friendly and helpful and the facilities are always clean and well maintained, even when the site is very busy. We'll be back!
This is a great base to travel out and about in the New Forest, Highcliff Beach beautiful sandy and we could take the dog which was a bonus. The site is well maintained, the toilet blocks were always spotless even when the site was full. The wardens were great, cheerful and helpful. All in all a great site and one we will definitely be going back to.
