Great Relaxing Site
This is a gem of a location. Very easy to get to. As we were arriving on a Saturday we followed the 'HGV' signs from the M27 through Lyndhurst which was a simple drive.
Booking in was simple and quick. The wardens were very friendly, informative and throughout our stay always had a smile and acknowledged us.
Although it is a large site it does not feel commercialised as it's split into different areas.
The dog exercise area is very large (plus there is a smaller one at the entrance). It's good that they have left some of it growing wild but have mowed paths through it. Turn left out of the entrance and a ten minute walk up Forest Road was some super dog walking. Branksome Beach just west of Bournemouth is super for a day out. The east of the beach is dog friendly and their are lots of cafes and restaurants.
It's great that the wardens opt to clean to showers and toilets in the early afternoon so there isn't the morning rush. They are spotless.
As we thought mobile phone coverage wasn't that good. We managed to get a 4G signal with Three for some of the time but it did drop to 3G several times of an evening. We couldn't get any signal with EE. The sites WiFi was good. For satellite TV there is plenty of room between the trees and bushes to be able to get a good signal.
The site shop is very well stocked. There is a Co-op 2 miles away in Bransgore which is open late. Christchurch is a short drive away with the usual superstores.
We were away for several weeks and needed to order a replacement item for the caravan online from Amazon, we were able to get it delivered to the Post Office in Bransgore.
Will we return - yes next trip already planned.
