 We returned to Black Knowl again this year for our annual New Forest holiday and, as always, the site did not disappoint.
The location remains excellent, the pitches are spacious and well maintained, and the facilities are still among the best we have come across anywhere.
Everything was kept spotlessly clean throughout our stay and the wardens were friendly and helpful.
One thing we noticed this year that has never really stood out before was the lack of shade on most of the site. Apart from a handful of pitches around the perimeter, there is very little natural shade, and none of the serviced pitches have any. In a normal British summer this probably wouldn't matter too much, but during the recent heatwave we experienced temperatures above 30°C for several days in a row and the lack of shade was very noticeable.
We ended up spending a fair bit of time away from the site during the hottest part of the day.
One of our favourite discoveries was Fisherman's Walk beach near Southbourne, where the sea breeze made the temperatures much more comfortable, and the cliff lift was a welcome help on the way back up carrying all the beach gear.
We also enjoyed some walks in the forest on the cooler days and made use of the excellent public leisure centre in Lymington, which has a very good swimming pool that was particularly appreciated during the heatwave.
Despite the unusually hot weather highlighting the lack of shade, our overall opinion of the site remains unchanged. It is still our favourite place to stay in the New Forest and we continue to return year after year.
As I have said in previous reviews, I would give this site 10 out of 10 if it wasn't for the eye-watering price. We pay it reluctantly because we have yet to find another site in the Forest with such a good location.

Been here many times and will continue to return, even though it's a little expensive (worth it to us!).
We chose a lovely shady pitch, which definitely helped in 30c+ temperatures.
Facilities plentiful and spotless all of the time. Considering the site was almost full (midweek!) we never had to queue.
Water points dotted around the site so you're never far away from them.
Used the free Wi-fi which was good.
Fantastic walks from the site directly into the forest. We walked into Brockenhurst every day, for a pint or 2, a meal and to catch the open top bus tour (this runs July - September only), which was well worth the money (concessions 60+ - £18 each and we were on it all day and managed to do 2 routes - red and green).
Food vans visit most days (not Tuesdays). We visited the chippy waggon, only for chips and a curry sauce - and both were lovely!
The grass was literally tinder dry and the wardens had just put up red fire risk warnings on our day of arrival. It's a pity some members think the rules don't apply to them! Charcoal BBQ's still being lit and people smoking outside of their units.
There did seem to be a lot of yappy dogs on site this time. Nothing the wardens can do, that's down to the owners who it clearly never bothered.
We have already recommended this site to friends new to motor-homing and will continue to recommend.
We will definitely be back.

Good site with ample facilities and well placed for visiting the New Forest and all it offers.
Some pitches are not suitable for everyone ie rubbish bins and Shower block plus not much shelter in the recent mega heatwave.
Still thanks to Nat for sorting out our concerns

Fantastic location in the forest. Many walks from site.
Town approx 45 minute walk, has railway station so we visited New Milton for £4.40 return.
Good size pitches with an open feel.

We returned to Black Knowl in August/September for our annual trip to the New Forest. The site is still the same as in my reviews over the last few years.
The wardens this year were particularly friendly and helpful and we had amazing weather for the first half of our stay, which made for a lovely holiday once again.
The facilities are as good as always and kept lovely and clean. The pitches are large and we had a fully serviced pitch which was great.
As stated in a previous review. I would give this site 10 out of 10 if it wasn’t for the ridiculous price which we pay with gritted teeth as we haven’t been able to find a site anywhere near as good in the Forest.

I have reviewed this site a number of times before and those reviews are still accurate based on our recent visit. We love the location of this site and the pitches and facilities are good.
We usually pitch on the lower level of the serviced pitches, in the loop above the toilet block, but these were all taken this year so we were in the row above that, on the main drive, and we were amazed at how much better the 4G signal was.
In previous years the 4G signal on EE had been poor so when it gave us such a better signal this year I thought that maybe EE had upgraded their tower, but walking around the site quickly showed that on the lower serviced pitches, it was much the same as before, it seems that the higher up the site you go, the better the signal!
I would give this site 10 out of 10 if it wasn’t for the extortionate cost. We only grudgingly pay it because there are no other sites so well located in the New Forest with such good toilet and shower facilities.

This is a typically well run CAMC Club Site. Pleasant group of Wardens keeping the place spotless and tidy. Very popular and booking appears to be essential.
Plots are quite open in respect that there is little or no hedging between any plots so no privacy.
Well located on the edge of the New Forest, after a few steps outside the site you can see ponies and cattle roaming free. Its a 40 minute walk into Brockenhurst along, mainly, gravel or stoned pathways.
My gripe about our stay was to do with our fellow campers, dog owners to be precise. When the rule state ALL dogs must be kept on a lead why can't it be observed. The rule does not exempt those who think their dogs are well behaved.
Would stay here again.

It was good to be back at Black Knowl after 5 years away.
Excellent location and stunning campsite, right in the middle of the New Forest.
Friendly welcome and quick check in. We only had a choice of 6 pitches but found one we were very happy with.
Large hardstanding close to the facilities.
Facilities block always 5* clean with everything you could need, including washing up room and laundry, etc.
Water and bin points close by and essentials in the small on site shop.
Loads of walking and biking routes directly from the site. We biked into Brockenhurst and then down the Rhinefield Drive and the following day biked into Burley and back. Quiet'ish roads or tracks available if you want to be off-road.
The walk into Brockenhurst took us about half an hour. Pubs, restaurants, tea rooms, Tesco and Co-op, etc. , etc. , in the village.
Food waggons visit the site most nights (not every night now it's out of season). We tried the Hungry Hog (Thursday night) - very good, even though they ran out of pulled pork and onions very early! Still delicious dirty fries.
We also did the New Forest Tour (open top bus from Brockenhurst railway station - seasonal). £19. 50 each and well worth it. We only managed to do 2 of the routes but still very good value. Hop on, hop off, as we did in Lyndhurst and Lymington.
Weather was kind and everything about our stay was top notch. Apart from a gripe of ours, lazy campers wandering across your pitch because they can't be bothered to walk around!

Very large pitch friendly staff.
Each evening is a different vendor for food so for example Monday is pizza Tuesday chilli, well priced and good food
Only consideration is none of the pitches provide water only electricity

This was our first stay at this site as we usually go to the Centenary Caravan & Motorhome club site.
Black Knowl is a new favourite - set right in the heart of the New Forest.
As it was Easter not all of the grass pitches were open and so it was probably not as full as it would be at peak season. But its smaller than Centenary and we preferred it.
Very peaceful and no road noise as it's quite far into the forest.
We walked into the village both days - road free and across the heath. Took about 20 to 30 mins.
Facilities were modern, clean and the staff super friendly.
We will definitely be back!
