 This is a lovely campsite in an attractive setting with direct access to the forest and a good walk to Brockenhurst. It is also possible to walk through the forest to Lyndhurst.
The facilities are very good with water and rubbish bins conveniently placed nearby. It is set back from the road down a long drive so there is no road noise.
As has been said, a herd of deer are able to roam freely and are a pleasure to watch but one morning we awoke to find we had no electricity and the electric cable was strewn across the road having been pulled out of the motorhome fitting by a deer. Fortunately there was no damage but we were very impressed by the helpfulness and concern shown by Mike the warden who assisted with the repair. It was much appreciated, Thank you.

Nice friendly campsite with good toilet and shower facilities. Away from the road. Some lovely walks directly onto the forest, with Brockenhurst a walkable distance. Lovely stream close by for the kids or dogs to play in. The near resident deer are a beautiful sight, but please remember they are timid and don't like children (or adults) interrupting their peace, so please admire them from a distance. There is plenty of room for the children to play and Stuart and Karen (2016/2017 managers) do their best to make sure everyone is happy with their experience at Long Meadow. The pitches are large and well spaced.

Booked this campsite but then reading reviews on another review site was a little concerned ! Fear not, this was a lovely site with friendly people in reception and working on the campsite. Yes they had their rules but we had no problems with the rules ! I even mailed them to ask if our properly converted campervan was ok, to which I received a friendly reply. Campsite had a nice relaxed atmosphere.
This site is a great base for exploring the area. You can walk into Brockenhurst through the forest. Not far. The bakery is a must ! There isn't a shop on site but we rarely use one anyway.
Site is kept nice and clean. Hairdryers in the shower / toilet areas which are always a bonus.
Only 3 showers in the ladies which probably not quite enough.
I would stay here again and seemed much better value than the ' Camping in the forest ' site which was just over the road.

We stayed for 4 nights on a grass EHU pitch. To add to the other reviews, here's our thoughts:
Good Points:
Very peaceful site, and having the deer in the field next door is really special.
Toilet and shower facilities were nice and clean (never had to queue)
Very friendly owner, showed us to our pitch on arrival, very helpful.
Good value for money.
Nice location in the forest, Brockenhurst is a 25 minute walk away.
Very spacious campsite.
Not so good points:
The grass is left too long - I appreciate campsites leave the grass a little long to protect it but it seemed this grass was about a week overdue cutting - this resulted in wet grass lasting most of the day even from just a gentle dew (let alone when it rained).
Lack of basic camp shop on site (would be really good if there was a basic camp shop on site - just for milt / bread / few basics).
The location actually works against it in some ways - whilst you can walk directly into the forest from the site we found that once you're outside the site there are only 2 routes to take - one is a long wide gravel path into the forest (and onto the Blackwater car park) and the other is a straight path into Brockenhurst - there seems to be little opportunity to vary your walking route.
No children's play park on site.
The spaciousness of the pitches also works against it a little - we found we were so spaced out that the campsite lacked a little buzz / vibe that other sites have.
Overall, we'd probably stay here again but it could easily be improved upon.

This is a good site if you want to stay in the Brockenhurst / Lyndhurst area but want a site with a few more facilities than the Foresty Commission ones in the area. Great location and far enough away from the road that its quiet and peaceful, at least it is once everyone has gone to bed.
Seeing the wild deer around the site was great and there are plenty of walks in the area.
Overall this is a good site but it struggles to keep up with its popularity, there are three showers for men and I presume the same for women, with what must be a good 300-400 people staying on site at peak times that's clearly not enough, so expect a queue at any time of the day. I would say though that the showers and toilets are all nice and new looking and were kept clean.
The hardstanding touring pitches are not particularly spacious and our porch awning went right up to the water tap, which meant you'd open the door in the morning and come face to face with someone filling their Aquaroll.
Finally I find the lack of recycling facilities on site staggering - for an area of such natural beauty it seems criminal to me to be chucking plastic, tins and bottles into the normal rubbish bin.

Site was clean. Toilet and shower block cleaned everyday at 11am. Site owners were friendly. One small complaint is that there didn't seem to be any recycling bins anywhere. There are deer in the next field which do come through into the camping field which was amazing to see them up close! There is no shop on site, but Brockenhurst is only a 25 minute walk from the camp site through the New Forest. Brockenhurst is lovely. Lots of horses, ponies and donkeys wandering around. It's not every day you see a horse outside Tesco! You can also walk to Lyndhurst from the campsite, though this is slightly further. Campsite is ideally placed for Beaulieu, Lymington, Burley and New Milton. We did a day trip to Winchester which only took about 35 minutes in the car. We would return and recommend this campsite to others.

Spent two weeks here, and loved it. As others have said, there are rules, but no problem in abiding by them, and the resident night visitors - a herd of 40+ wild deer - more than make up for any minor irritants you may have. The wardens are constantly beavering away, grass cutting, tidying, washing - the facilities were nigh on spotless. Two things which are worth mentioning - (1) the entrance from the main road to the site's drive is VERY rough - some potholes are badly in need of being filled in, and you can easily get a few things in your caravan (or car for that matter!) flying around if you enter at anything other than a snail's pace and (2) remember that there are no washing machines on site - so clothes washing is restricted to one sink in the washing up area. The site doesn't have its own internet/wifi - but there's no harm in missing out on that for a couple of weeks and speaking to your neighbours instead !
The surrounding area is simply superb - wild horses, wild cattle, wild scenery - and some excellent eating spots in both Brockenhurst and Lyndhurst. It's a very short trip to the Lymington to Yarmouth Isle of Wight Ferry too - a day (or more) trip is recommended. If you enjoy the great outdoors - you'll enjoy your time in the New Forest at Long Meadow.

This is a great campsite in the middle of the New Forest with easy access off the A337 between Lyndhurst and Brockenhurst, look out for the brown campsite sign. OK Getting through Lyndhurst as always is a pain but this site is worth the wait.
There are about 100 pitches, 20 being hardstanding electric (our choice) a small number of grass electric pitches and the rest just grass. The best thing about this site is it only about 20-25 minutes walk to Brockenhurst which has great pubs, tea rooms and shops. Ask the Wardens the way as it is not signposted but once you know it, no problem. There is also a bike track alongside the site and also plenty of walking options.
The Wardens were very pleasant and will show you to your pitch and explain about the site. For motorhome owners there is an excellent waste/water disposal area with easy access but no water tap. These are sited around the site one specifically had a long hose on it which helped. The site operates a one way system in the hardstanding area.
We have marked down the site facilities because despite being excellent and very clean there are not enough showers, basins and toilets for a 100 pitch site. Granted there is a porta-cabin in the main field but at peak times the facilities would be very stretched in our view.
The above issue aside we would still highly recommend this site and will definitely be returning.

We arrived early evening after a long day at work. We were in our T4 campervan and friends in their Bongo. We were greeted by some friendly staff who made sure our van was a camper and that it wasn't a make-shift one with 'an Aldi mattress in the back!' which we all found hilarious! What if we had a M&S one, lol! I think they were checking for insurance purposes. Anyway, they showed us to our pitches and made sure there was a big gap between us, for safety purposes, which seemed a little over the top, but hey. We had a lovely relaxing evening, cooked a wonderful meal and met checked out the roaming deer on-site. Lights out was nice and quiet, so we all had a good night's sleep.
Next day we had a cooked breakfast and had a lovely walk to Brockenhurst, about 20 minutes away through the first clearing lots of horses along the way and popped into the pub for a quick drink before getting back. Such a lovely place, the campsite is in a great location and the facilities are spotless and well maintained. We are looking forward to coming back for another restful break.

We stayed here for two nights in middle of May. The site is very well looked after; the grass is in good condition as were the toilet and shower facilities.
It was our second stay; our last visit was in 2015 when we stayed on a hard standing pitch. Because the hard standing area was busy last time we decided to stay on a grass pitch (I think there's 15 per so grass pitches with EHU). This was the right decision. The pitches felt much more spacious and not so close to our neighbours.
The site is right next to one of many cycle tracks and is therefore brilliantly hpositioned if you wish to take advantage of the extensive cycling network within the New Forest.
It's also a 25 minute walk into Brockenhurst where you can find a couple of nice pubs. We had a pub lunch in the Snakecatcher which was very enjoyable.
I marked child friendliness as an 8 because there's no playground. But that said, the field is very large so plenty of space to run around.
We'll definitely be back again.

Lovely, spacious site in the New Forest, we enjoyed walking with a our dog. Good position to travel around Hampshire, we stopped for two nights as a stop off en route to the Isle of Wight & found it to be an ideal spot for that. Fantastic for viewing stars on clear nights & good size pitches. We didn't need hook up but I believe this was available if required.
One down side was that we weren't happy being positioned directly outside the main toilet block, it was the busiest area which our old dog wouldn't have been keen on. We were told that it was expected to be full the following day so they would have to reshuffle everyone, the two nights over the bank holiday weekend that we were there the camping field was not full. They did move us hesitantly to a new spot which was better but again next to a smaller toilet block & whilst one member of staff went to check this pitch with my partner I stayed with the van & dog outside the reception. The remaining staff obviously didn't realise this & discussed us in a not so happy light.

Another great site. Admittedly it helped that it was less than a 4 hour drive to get there however;
Level grass pitch, new toilet facilities, easy access from the main road, Deer wandering through the site at night. (They obviously came close to our van during the night as I stepped in the evidence the first morning. )
25 minute walk into the metropolis of Brockenhurst across the forest, cream tea capital of The New Forest.
Almost in the centre of the forest so Lyndhurst, Lymington etc all within easy reach by car or bike if you're so inclined.
We did the I. O. W trip which was quick and enjoyable, possibly stay over for a night next time.
We will definitely return, very soon, however I must add the usual caution. We were there the week before the Spring Bank Holiday and the owners anticipated all 100 pitches being full for the weekend. Best of luck with a total of 4 showers in each of the Ladies and Gents facilities.
Very pleased to recommend this site.

Spent a pleasant week's holiday here in May - despite the weather! We had pre-booked and I had asked if pitch 13 could be available. We were offered pitch 13 or pitch 10. We chose 13; it has a wider grass space than some, and is close to the facilities.
The site has 20 hard standing pitches (two in use by the managers) and up to 80 grass pitches on the other side of the site. All hard stands have EHU's.
The facilities were always clean, and even with 40 units on site did not seem to get over-loaded. The washing up sinks are sited outside, but are covered.
10 minutes walk back along the driveway brings you to bus stops - in one directio to Brockenhurst and Lymington, in the other to Lyndhurst and Southampton. Buses are hourly in tnhe day, but finish early in the evening. A path behind the site should lead to Brockenhurst in about 25 minutes. It is NOT well signed and we ended up doing two sides of a triangle, taking 1 1/2 hrs! The going is mainly level and pleasant moorland with some light forestry; of course the ponies are all around, as are cows, deer and donkeys. Delightful.
Brockenhurst boasts three day-time tea shops, but if you want an evening meal then either the Huntsman or the Snakecatcher pubs are your venue. We were recommended to the Huntsman, but frankly wished we had gone to the other one. The food was 'fancified' and over-priced.
There are numerous places to visit within 10 miles or so. Lymington has a street market on Saturdays. Take the bus! Bucklers Hard is a 'must see'. There are leaflets in the site reception. A very pleasant day out.
A week will give a pleasant 'taster' to the new Forest. Two weeks will give you more time to re-visit the places you see and p[ass through and wish you had time to explore.
All in all, Long Meadow makes an excellent base, and at £23 a night is very reasonable.

We had the loveliest of stays. Deer surrounding the tent in the morning delighted the children. Nice space to play and very quiet and peaceful. Fabulous showers with hooks, shelves and under floor heating. Wow.
Definitely will be returning.

Friendly welcome, was asked how we wanted to park on the pitch rather than being told, facilities and surroundings explained and welcome pack contained information about nearby attractions. Washroom was beautifully clean and soap, paper and dryers supplied, water was hot. An easy 25 minute stroll on gravel, flat paths through wood and Heath to get into Brockenhurst, but take a torch for the return walk. Good range of shops, pubs and eateries available. We ate at The Snakecatcher, good food and service and nice atmosphere. Site was quite, as end of season, but all hard standings were taken so glad I was able to book.
