 Another return visit to Black Knowl for us. We love the site and its position within the New Forest. It's always so peaceful (even when they're full - which is most of the time!) and friendly.
Toilet/shower block has individual shower rooms (sink/toilet/shower) - yes OK, they do need updating but they were always clean. There is also another shower 'block' - 3 showers in each ladies and gents and separate toilets.
Small shop with essentials in reception and daily newspapers can be ordered each day for collection. Booking in can be an ordeal especially if you turn up at 12 noon or shortly afterwards, but the wardens were always friendly and cheerful!
Hardstanding (decent sized pitches) and grass both available. We were lucky enough to get a hardstanding in the cul-de-sac by the shower block, nice position!
The walking/biking from the site is what makes it for us. Fantastic. As much off-road as you want with just ponies, donkies and cattle for traffic! 20/30 min walk into Brockenhurst (or 10 mins on the bike!) - doggie friendly pub (The Forresters) and tearooms (The Butterfly - outside seating) - both lovely.
All sorts of shops in Brockenhurst - including a Tesco Express, butchers, bakers, and many takeaways. We also had a meal at the Forest Park Hotel (on the Rhinefield Road) which was also doggie friendly. Food was good (not cheap) but the bar was run by some strange people!
Already planning another stay next year IF we can book early enough and get lucky with a pitch.

Managed to squeeze in this site by ringing the warden direct as CC website said it was full for four months! Managed to get in for 2 nights mid week out of school holidays.
Arrived about 2pm on a Tuesday to a packed site. Site is in a lovely location right in the middle of the forest, no road noise whatsoever so idyllic for lovers of peace & quiet.
We were disappointed with the layout of the site - seeing as it was in the middle of the forest you would think some thought would have been put into how you pitch/your outlook on this park but every inch of green space was taken by a pitch (which I hate!) I much prefer to have a bit of space and green/planting around units and some open ground but alas - it looks as though squeeze as many spaces in as you can on this site.
Even though it had been raining for the past couple of days we only had choice of grass pitches, which were ok but not perfect (bit squelchy underfoot).
The major downfall of this site are the showers/loos - I was actually gobsmacked when I saw how old they were. Yes, they were clean and just about functional but this is not what I expected of a CC site.
Everywhere from the individual shower rooms to the communal areas are very tired. My individual bathroom shower was covered in limescale and was not inviting at all. The loo required 2 goes at the flush to flush anything away and the hairdryer is in amongst the communal toilets rather than in with the showers.
Part of the block was closed off whilst we were there due to flooding and my husband's time in the shower was cut short due to the mens shower block temporarily running out of water.
To sum up -
Positives:
Beautiful location
Quiet, peaceful, no road noise
Direct forest access
Perfect site for dog owners
Yummy chip van calls on a Tuesday
Plenty to explore by car journey - within the forest or coastal
Negatives:
Shower block awful
Too many units crammed in for our liking
Not enough hardstanding pitches
Atmosphere - never seemed as friendly as other sites we have visited
We would only return to this site if major revamp work was carried out to the shower block and considering how busy the site was I am very surprised that the CC have not re-invested into this park as it's location is second to none.

We attended Black Knowl for a few days in early May. A really well looked after campsite with friendly approachable staff. The washing block was immaculately clean, very warm with unlimited hot water. The block was very unique and spacious, ideal for those with smaller children who need a shower without being in the way of other campers. The campsite pitches were level and on our arrival there was a good choice of spaces available. The campsite is right in the centre of the New Forest, as you leave the site you cross the cattle grid and come across wild horses, donkeys and highland cows. During the early evening we saw deer on the other side of the fence to our caravan, it was simply fantastic.
The only negatives are that the approach road is very narrow. We arrived later in the afternoon so we fortunately did not meet any oncoming caravans. Passing would have been almost impossible. In addition the speed humps are unbelievably high and our caravan 'bottomed out' on most of them. Judging by the marks on the speed humps it would appear that we weren't the only ones who experienced this.
This aside we will definitely be returning to this gem of a site with our walking boots and bicycles to make use of the numerous paths and trails on the doorstep.

Visited this site for the first time early october & had a really great time with good weather too. We found the site very quiet as only the hardstandings are in use this time of year. Excellent location for all the new forest. Walks direct from the site ( we did several )only 25 min to walk to brockenhurst itself.
Cycle tracks everywhere, a very relaxing time of year with no crowds. The annual red deer rut was a great sight & you can hear them bellowing early morning from the site.
We visited brownsea island in poole harbour, a great place to see red squirrels, the lovely exbury gardens & we love the sea front at milford & mudeford.
Can recommend a meal at the rose & crown in the village & a lovely pub at bank called the oak.
If you like the great outdoors this is a marvellous site & area & i can see why it is almost always full.

We arrived a little late in the day, as we were on tour and travelling from Devon. It has to be said that the site is quite 'off the beaten track' and not that easy to find, so if you have no SatNav ( like us ) then make sure you have done your homework before you set off.
As we arrived late in the day ( about 4pm ) there was little choice of pitches, but we did manage to get onto a hard standing pitch. Be warned, the circlur grass area and towards the back of the site, can get very busy, with people pitching up in front of you. What can look like an isolated pitch one day can be rammed, on the next day.
Major fault here was the shower block. On the good side, each unisex unit had a shower, basin and toilet, but on the bad side, was that half of the units are closed as early as 10am for cleaning, meaning if you do not shower before 10am, there are only half of the units available. The other half are cleaned in the afternoon, which makes sense.
The site is in the middle of the New Forest, so within two minutes of walking outside of the site, you are close to wild horses. There is an (unmarked) track into Brockenhurst ( we did not try this ).
Traffic through the town of Lyndhurst seems busy all day long.
Lymington, to the south, as a good Waitrose and M&S for food.

Just been again 3rd year running. Stayed 10 days this time. Very organised on arrival, as it was a busy day the wardens were in the car park at the beginning of the lane stopping new arrivals to their site until 12noon. Then carefully letting everyone down in the order they arrived in small batches to check in. We picked a grass pitch farthest away from the entrance, nice and roomy with no one in front of us, although sheltered by the trees. Seems the middle grass section is best if you want sun. New Forest show only 10 min walk from the site. Worth a visit if you are down at this time, although the Brockenhurst/Lyndhurst area is a nightmare for traffic if you are trying to go out for the day. No waits for showers what ever time of day we went.
Christchurch market on Mondays, lovely fruit and veg, and cake stalls. Harvester and Toby Carvery on way if you like that sort of thing. Tesco's Express closest shop for everyday things, although the site shop had a bit more this time - lovely belgian buns, and sweets as well as ice creams. Only let down was we couldn't take the dog (9mth old lab) - we booked here specially for her but we didn't manage to get her over her car sickness to make the journey, maybe next year. Definitely still one of our favourite sites.

Dog walkers heaven. Not only a superb site with regards to space, facilities and lovely wardens but right on the doorstep to the New Forest where you can walk the dogs for miles.
We only stayed two nights as we were passing through but we will definitely be returning.

Our second outing as new caravanners, as we had joined the caravan club we decided to use one of their members only sites, and what a lovely site this is. Right in the heart of the new forest surrounded by trees and wildlife. Though there is a grid at the entrance to stop any curious deer or ponys having a look at your van (this site is for caravans only)
Arrival is restricted to after 12 noon as there is only a narrow road leading in with large speed humps, there is a large carpark about half way down the access road where vans and campers seem to wait till after 12 noon. As we arrived after 1pm we drove straight in, the site wasn't too busy so managed to find a lovely hardstanding to set up on (using newly installed caravan mover!)
The toilets were spotless as were the privacy cubicles containing toilet shower and basin, also lovely and warm and constant hot water no pushing a button.
Plenty of dog walking in the forest nearest shops and pub 2 miles we went into the forresters arms in Brockenhurst which allowed the dogs in the bar. It poured down for the four days we were there but still a fantastic site.

We just had 2 nights at this site. I would recommend you follow the instructions in the caravan club directions. Beware of the speed bumps, they are rather large! On arrival the staff were very friendly, the site was not over crowded even being half term.
They have a great shower block, its circular with separate shower rooms accessed only by a key. It has loo, sink and shower and refreshingly a shower that is not a push button 30 second ration type. They are very clean too. This is an ideal site to discover the new forest, would recommend it.
Beware of cost of Beaulieu, adults £15ish each! Far too expensive in my view. Black Knowl gets a big tick from me.

A nice site in the middle of the forest with some great cycling opportunities on the doorstep. The toilet facilities are unique but so outdated. At busy times, you have to queue outside and keep your eye on the exterior doors waiting for someone to vacate then pelt to it as quick as possible and get there before someone else as it is every man for themself!
The wardens were friendly but ran a tight ship. We arrived at the site early (only ten minutes) and were turned away. I was humiliated and told I had to get off the and come back at 12 (It was 11.50 why couldn’t I just wait there?)
The site was packed and people were turning up without bookings and were being turned away so plan ahead! The site is very popular with the older clientèle and didn’t seem child friendly.
