Does anyone have any recommendations regarding these two new Forest sites?
It will just be my and my partner, no kids or pets. Staying during the school hols end of July.
Keen on going here as id love to experience the forest camping with all the horses and wildlife whilst also being allowed to pick your own spot and hopefully a bit of lazing in the sun.
Will one be better than the other at that tike of year or for any other reason?
Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!
We always preferred Hollands Wood as it is more sheltered, next to Balmer Lawn and within walking distance into Brockenhurst.We have used Roundhill but more exposed if it is windy.Keep any food secure as we have seen ponies push heads under tents and awning pegging to get at it.
Thanks, how sheltered is it in terms of the sun? If its a really sunny day I want the sun to be beaming down and not just peeking through the canopy :)
You can still get plenty of sun through trees in hollands wood as it is not dense .We also like Aldridge hill but you would need to be self contained as no facilities.
Thanks. I think my only concern with Hollands Wood is the time of year we are going, reviews sound like it might be pretty busy, whereas Roundhill sounds much bigger and can still have plenty of space even when busy?

We stayed a couple of times in our youth at Hollands Wood when it was quite small and really liked it.
Popping up to the pub for chicken in a basket was very useful for tea with very basic cooking in a 2 man ridge tent full of earwigs.
We use Black Knowl CC site with our caravan now and while passing noticed how big Hollands Wood has got so I would think you will have plenty of space there.
Roundhill is very open so its a choice of trees or moorland.
A day of all things motorhome and campervan. The show is held both in the main indoor arena and across the grounds. Catering, hot drinks and food options are available. Easy access to the site and free parking included. Win one of five pairs of day tickets
