 Overall a good campsite. The staff were friendly and the male facilities were good but there were queues for the female showers and were not particularly clean by the evening.
We had a lot of wet weather while we were there and the drainage of the site was not that good. The site became waterlogged very quickly and created large areas of standing water.
Good location for cycling and exploring and a nearby town had a tesco, a hardware store and a bike shop. We went during half term so was reasonably expensive.

We stayed at Roundhill over the May Bank Holiday weekend. It was cold. Very cold and occasionally rainy.
It was our first trip to Roundhill but found it to be a first rate campsite. Before going, we read some poor reviews, mainly complaints about fierce rangers and so on. I'm pleased to report we found this to be completely at odds with our experience - the staff that we met were friendly and helpful.
The site itself is like a microcosm of the New Forest itself. A lot of it is open heathland with woodland areas around the edges. You have a choice of environment and it is up to you where you pitch rather than demarked pitches, which was nice.
We were staying with four other families and had no problem in finding an area to accommodate all of us together which was handy. Even though a lot of the site was suffering from some standing water (hardly surprising), there were still plenty of dry spots to pitch.
There are three (seemingly) identical amenity blocks. These were all warm, clean and well appointed - very pleasing. There always seemed to be plenty of hot water.
Given the temperature, it would have been nice to have been allowed a camp fire but the rules of the site are clear before you book. We managed to eke some heat out of a charcoal bbq!
Brockenhurst has plenty of facilities and has everything you are likely to need. The site is in easy reach of a number of good sights and attractions - plenty to do for all.
I would highly recommend this site and would be more than happy to go back. Preferably when it's warmer!

We have stayed here in the past and only have one tiny fault and that is the uneven ground, with some very large holes
the site itself is pleasant and great for children to run around and burn their excess energy
the nearby airfield was great for our remote control airplanes and car,
cycling is good. loads of different trails to explore
the nights were peaceful
we had a nice walk into nearby brockenhurst which is a typical new forest village: gift shops, tearooms, groceries and pubs
Would we come again? Yes

Stayed here with my 2 children, sister and brother-in-law. Pleasantly surprised that the site was much less crowded and the facilities cleaner than at another Forest Holidays site I have used. My children are a bit old for playgrounds but there is lots of room for running around and games without annoying other campers.
The ground although flat is quite uneven and there are a lot of holes so you do need to choose your pitch carefully. There are no marked pitches so you can pitch where you like - it's a very large site so took us a while and a couple of drives round to choose. Fortunately due to limited water supply the site is considered full long before all the space is taken up so there should always be a choice of pitching areas.
Due to the size and layout of the site 2 of our party did manage to get lost on the way back from the toilets! Worth warning everyone (particularly children) to look out for landmarks on the way - it's even more tricky in the dark.
Campsite staff were very helpful and efficient especially considering that they were really busy.
BBQs are allowed off the ground and there are facilities for disposal as well as recycling of other rubbish.
Ponies were not a nuisance - we did make a point of keeping food shut in the car when not eating as is strongly recommended (could be a problem for backpackers!) It was nice to be able to see the ponies, donkeys and cattle grazing around the site.
One small issue - due to Forest Holidays pricing you can end up paying more for several small tents than if the same number of people share one giant one, although we were allowed to count a child's tent as a pup tent although officially it was slightly too large - as it is only designed to sleep 2.
Whilst in the area we visited the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu with a Top Gear exhibition and much more for the grown-ups: gardens, ghost stories etc. There was also a falconry display on while we were there. On the way home we stopped in Lyndhurst which was a pleasant town with good visitor information etc but well worth avoiding if at all possible if you are not stopping there due to a gridlocked one-way system.

We revisited this site in 2009 after a break of over twenty years. It was just as we remembered it only with some great improvements- namely proper toilets. We first visited whilst courting in the '70's and continued until our children were almost teenagers, and then there were only chemical loos.
Now we have three family tents and there are 12 of us in a large family group. We easily found enough space to be together without being on top of one another.
The children loved the ponies and cows walking through, and we were able to let the children run about reasonably freely. It is great to get the children away from technology and shops, and have great cricket matches instead.
We always enjoy the peace of this campsite, and because of the lack of light polution it is quite wonderful to be able to appreciate the stars at night.
We will continue to use this site for many years, the only downside now is that we need a power supply for the old man's sleep apnoeia machine or else he is snoring louder than the cows!

We just spent 3 nights here. We arrived on the Thursday. Wardens on the entry gate were helpful & explained the rules of the site. Allowed to pitch wherever we chose. Roundhill is a large site. It is set well away from any main roads.
I would agree with other comments regarding the requirement for an additional shower block as it was very busy at the weekend. The showers are spacious & warm.
It is a great place to relax with the new forest ponies, donkeys & cows roaming about. Plenty of good walks throughout the site, which our 2 border terriers fully appreciated. There is a noise curfew at 23. 00hrs whick was observed all nights that we were there. All you can hear then are the owls.
I would like to make a special comment for the wardens as they have been slated in previous reviews. During my visit they were nothing other than courteous & helpful. I witnessed them assisting a single mother erect a tent for her & her children. Also they did make a family move their pitched tent on the Friday night, as they had set up on the wrong side of the road. They then assisted the family to pitch the tent in an appropriate location. The following day when the warden was doing his rounds through the site he stopped & asked if the family were all OK & set up. The family thanked him for his assistance.
We will definitely be returning back to roundhill

My daughter and I stayed at Roundhill for two nights mid week to catch up with some friends who were staying in a pre-pitched Eurocamp tent for a week.
Having stayed at another Forest Holidays site that I hadn't liked I was aprehensive. I had no need to worry though - I thought this was a fab site in a superb location.
There is not much in the way of facilities on the site, but being in such a great spot for the New Forest and near Brockenhurst you don't really need anything.
My guess is it would be a very busy site at the weekends but we really enjoyed it and I'm sure we'll return.

Just returned from a two night stay with our 6 year old son.
After reading mixed reviews we weren't sure about this site. We needn't have worried as found the site wardens friendly and helpful on arrival providing a sheet of site rules, map and tickets for the car and tent.
Loved the fact you could drive around and choose your own pitch avoiding the very uneven and bumpy ground.
Very quiet at night at 10. 30pm with only the owls making any noise.
The only negative about this site is there only 3 facilities blocks to cover 500 pitches so expect extremely long queues at peak times. They are also only cleaned once a day and do get very dirty.

My family loved this campsite. I am local to the New Forest and this unspoilt site was like stepping back to the 1970s and my own childhood camping holidays. Lovely chilled, happy atmosphere and plenty of retro campers the week we were there. I was lucky and pitched in a quiet area of the site: total silence except for owls from 10. 30pm. Youngsters and party people seem to head for the Northern end of the site which works well. The surrounding forest and heathland was lovely, ablaze with purple heather and full of donkeys, ponies and cattle all with cute young in tow. Keep your food hidden! Ponies can undo tent doors with long cords on the zips(I've seen it happen)so remove any dangly zippers they can pull with their teeth. The wardens are friendly and work hard to ensure this site remains friendly. Groups who like to pitch in large villages and stay up to 3am drinking and shouting are not welcome. Shower blocks are not the best, a bit basic but adequate although I agree another block is needed. Hollands Wood have better facilities. However I preferred this site. Only gripe would be that eletric hookup like they have have Holmsley would be appreciated.

Friendly and helpful wardens, everything no problems for them and laid back.
It rained on the second night and all the low areas filled up quickly and there were lots of very wet and unhappy campers the following morning. Subsequently a lot of people left that morning so when the rain stopped and the site dried out it was a lot quieter.
It is based on the old RAF Beaulieu site and if you ride/walk off some of the old tracks behind the water tower you end up on the old airfield.
They have no information or history of the site at reception but thought as the sign on the airfield directs you to the Forestry Commission I thought the campsite would have some info on it. You can locate all the old runways and ride around the remains of the old perimeter track.
The floor of the showers were dirtier than the mop and water in the bucket.
Not a lot for the kids to do if yours don't like bikes or outdoor games, but it is scooter friendly due to the long flat tarmac & concrete roads. Lots of trees to climb, woods to play in and places to hide. Great for bikes and plenty of rides around the area, you can even ride into Brockenhurst without going on main roads.
Lots of cows and horses around, great open site with a chilled out atmosphere, can imagine its a bit of a nightmare when its packed but we loved it and would go back again.

My family and I stayed here for 5 nights. We had booked our stay already however; when we arrived it was fully booked and finding a pitch was difficult as they are not laid out. This usually works well and we have found it a positive attribute at other sites. With this site so busy and all 500 pitches booked out it wasn't so good.
The ground is very uneven and limits the usable space.
Toilet block was generally ok, smelly but always a toilet free. There was almost always a line for the shower and they were a bit grubby from other users not cleaning up after them selves. Water was hot.
There was no essentials like bread, eggs and milk, coal etc for sale on site. They do sell Ice but its very expensive.
The company that deliver bikes to site for rent were good and we got bikes for 2 days.
The access to the new forest is amazing and access to walking and bike trails right on site was a big attribute.
We found the rules on site a bit limiting, no rope swings, no climbing trees, no washing lines. It was also frustrating that there was no evidence of any staff on site except in reception. So other campers were ignoring the rules put in place to make for a peaceful stay in the forest. For example, loud music, lots of noise after curfew.
On our last night it rained all night and into the morning. Because of the very lumpy bumpy uneven ground there were a lot of flooded out tents and our tent had puddles of water underneath the groundsheet which felt as though we were camped on a swimming pool. This site doesn't have good drainage and people were bailing out water with buckets.
Overall we found the site to be over priced, over crowded and lacking in suitable pitches and visible staff around the site. We enjoyed the location and the ponies and cattle around the site.

Stayed here for 5 nights in July. Lovely location, but this is a very large site and like other reviewers say, would benefit from having an additional toilet block and more frequent cleaning especially at busy times.
Having said that, the free showers were always hot and there was always paper in the loos. However, a few more coat hooks sensibly positioned would be an improvement. A coat hook 15 inches above the wash basin is no use!
You can pitch were you like, as long as you are 6m from your neighbours and can park beside your unit. The site is pretty level and being fairly sandy soil, was free draining and there weren't any stones to get in the way of knocking in the tent pegs.
You can walk / cycle in the New Forest direct from the site. New Forest ponies and cattle roam freely about the site, but please don't feed them.
For food shopping, Brockenhurst is only a short drive away and Lyndhurst is not much further. There is plenty to do in the area, I would recommend the New Forest Wildlife Park the otters are very entertaining (make sure you time your visit to coincide with them being fed),
Hurst Castle (although its quite a walk across the shingle bank if you don't take the ferry), and then there are the the forest drives, and reptile centre and deer viewing park both free except for a parking charge.

We stayed as part of a group of 10 families and had a section of the rally field. This worked brilliantly as we were all getting down there at different times and, being school holidays, we were concerned we wouldn't be able to find space to pitch together otherwise.
This was the second time we had been to Roundhill and the first we had been on the rally field. Both times I have liked the space you get and the wandering ponies and cows are the highlight of the children's stay!
We found that we rarely had to queue for the washing up areas, however we sometimes waited a while anyway to avoid peak times. The queues for the showers weren't too bad considering the time of year although the mop bucket water could do with changing more frequently.
The wardens came across as friendly and welcoming and this year we may try some of the ranger activities.
There is no playground or shop here. We went into Brockenhurst for shops, pasties and a pub! The Tesco's there seems quite set up for campers and on occasions when we have visited there were families of donkeys, very cute.
I would recommend Roundhill for families wanting a low-key, non-commercial site with added wildlife.

This was our first visit to Roundhill and it wont be the last.
The site is located near to Brockenhurst in the New Forest having room for up to 500 pitches, with 3 toilet/shower/pot wash blocks & Chemical toilet disposal. They also have disabled & Recycling facilities.
On our arrival we were greeted by one of the wardens who issued us with our ticket for the weekend, explained the site rules and advised us of the areas we can pitch in as your aloud to choose where you put your tent up.
With it being a Friday evening the site was very busy with a lot of families arriving and young children running around, this meant it was quite loud an you could not really relax till later on. If you like being close to the wild life then this is the place to be with the ponies roaming around the site and many deer birds and other wild life in the surrounding woodland. The site also arranges a number of activities that you can do to entertain the kids and see the wild life and woodlands.
In all we found the staff to be really friendly and helpful, the facilities were more than satisfactory and the location was lovely although the ground is uneven and lumpy in places but this cant be helped as it is heathland. As they say you take the ruff with the smooth.

Myself, my boyfriend and our puppy visited this site for a weekend to try out our new tent.
Really liked the fact that pitches aren't marked and you just drive round and choose where to put your tent yourself.
3 toilet/shower blocks in different areas of the park so never too far away from one. As only there for a weekend did not use showers but plenty of toilets. Queued to wash dishes but possibly due to inexperience and poor timing. Water really hot!
Pleasant walk through woods to Brockenhurst, where there are pubs and a Tesco express etc.
All in all really enjoyed stay, loved the ponies/donkeys/cows wandering the site.
