Met with a polite although business like welcome at what is a very busy site,well stocked shop and great fish & Chip van.
Facilities are a credit to whoever cleans them as very clean in what must be challenging circumstances - they are obviously used by people from a site over the road with little or no facilities.
It is a large site with plenty of bins and service points but our pitch did feel cramped and nothing like as relaxing as Black knowle,nice if you like it busy but would not stay again.
Wouldn’t return
This site is in a lovely location. The showers and facilities are lovely and clean. In my opinion the pitches are too cramped and close together, especially for the price paid. I am scoring this site so low purely down to the management staff at this site, I have never stayed anywhere where the staff have been so unpleasant. Wow betide anyone that inadvertently falls foul of the rule book! They don’t clarify or explain themselves, they just keep referring to the rule book. Spiteful and vengeful! Most unpleasant trip ever and that is saying something for a 56 year old grandma. If you want a chilled relaxed trip, go up the road a bit further.
Loved it
Stayed 18th July for 5 days. Fabulous staff so helpful. Extremely clean. Great for walks and bike rides direct from site. Will be back for longer next time!

Another great stay.
Just had a weeks stay at one of our favourite sites.
Staff were helpful as ever and always willing to have a chat.
The site was as expected, clean, tidy and well kept, facilities were top notch as well.
Love this site for it's location and accessibility, great for walks with the dogs and easy access to beaches a few minutes away.
Fantastic dog free run area at the back of site, always nice to have a chat while the dogs run and play.
Cracking site, well done.
Fantastic site
We stayed for a complete week from Saturday to Saturday, arriving 9th July. It was very busy when we arrived but the pitches are well situated and we had plenty of space. The staff efficiently dealt with a large number of arrivals & we quickly were greeted whilst queuing and advised which documents they required. We were then booked in by a very friendly and welcoming lady who took time to answer all questions.
The site is easily reached from the main road & ideally situated for local attractions, beaches and forest villages and walks. The New Forest tour bus stops outside. The information room had loads of leaflets & books giving ideas. There were detailed instructions for walks & the whereabouts of pubs and restaurants. Within 5-10 minutes you could reach patrol stations & supermarkets.
The facilities on site were superb. The shower and toilet blocks were immaculately clean and all toilets & showers were working. The whole site was kept in top condition and each area was well situated & attractive to give privacy and made you feel like you were on a much smaller site. This is one of the best sites we have stayed on and we recommend it highly.
Excellent site.
Our welcome was very professional polite and courteous.
Serviced itches were big enough but considering top end price paid lacked any real privacy.and this gave the impression of being a little crammed in.
Facilities were spotless and the on camp dog walking areas were the best we have experienced. There were even small fenced and clean dog toilet areas discreatly placed around the site.
Reception area and the shop were both readily available and wardens spoke to us like we were adults, which is not always the case on these sites!
Location was great with easy access to local beaches and the new forest.
Selection of pitch would be key to us returning but this was a VERY nice site.
EXCELLENT site but don't expect peace and quiet
Lovely site. Clean and well kept. However the constant scream of petrol hedge cutters every day did become tedious.

Great site
We had a perfect 5 night break in the forest. We have stayed at Black Knowl a few times but they were full, we were unsure about the location but we were not disappointed. We would definitely stay again. Great location for cycling, quiet road with only a short distance ti reach the forest, they have lots of maps in the information office with routes that they will copy.
The site is spacious so plenty of choice for pitch.
Facility blocks really clean and we never had to queue for a shower, always hot water. The wardens were lovely, really friendly, welcoming and informative.
Highly recommend this site.
Pick your pitch carefully
Great site, lovely wardens, super facilities, wonderful for cycling/walking BUT pick your pitch carefully as the pitches next to Forest Road are noisy due to constant traffic.

Excellent site
Really enjoyed stay. Wardens amazing, as rang us to let us know our canopy had got caught by the wind and helped us sort it.
Site nice and quiet and super clean. Very well stocked shop on site.
A little off the beaten track if you want to walk, but main road has side verge so safe to go down and good walk into forest starts about half a mile down road by Holmsley campsite/car park. Some of walks hard to follow and wouldn’t be good on a really wet day as moorland can get boggy in places. Bus stop about 25 mins walk away down main road, but bus takes you to Highcliffe cafe and beach and was on time! Pubs 3 miles away in Bransgore.
Nice dog walks on site and two play areas if you have kids.
Perfect for those with cars and bikes, more challenging for walkers.
