Good for families

Ideal for families wanting to explore the New Forest

We stayed here with our 2 children for 2 weeks mid August and thoroughly enjoyed it. Set in the countryside not far from the A35 between Lyndhurst and Christchurch, you are a stone's throw from the heathland with horse roaming free but also near local villages, beaches and amenities. The kids loved the big play area on site as well as the football field next door. Despite it being a pre-dominantly family site, it was not noisy. The facilities were excellent - as is to be expected with club sites. We particularly loved the mobile fish and chip van and the wood-fired pizza van that visit the site twice a week on different nights - very yummy. During our stay, we visited different beaches no more than 20 mins away (Avon Beach, Mudeford) as well as doing lots of cycling and walking. I'd recommend buying a pub walk pocket guide - some great walks of varying lengths and ideal with kids. The cycle map of the New Forest area is also a must - you can follow pre-planned routes or decide your own ones using the way-markers and just parking up for free at one of the many free car parks on the heathland / woodland itself. It's a great way of appreciating the New Forest's beauty and seeing its livestock up close! If you fancy a change, visit the Beaulieu Motor Museum, Furzey Gardens in Minstead or Bucklers Hard. Will definitely return again!
