 This is a good site and will be going back 2011 Roundhill is a lively campsite, and covers a very large area. The ground itself was reasonably level, and there was plenty of cover offered by trees and bushes if required. The site is ideally situated for getting into the New Forest, There were lots of families on the site, but we had no problems with noise, I would say that the site was pretty quiet by 10pm, and didn't get lively again until about 8am.
There are loads of things to do nearby. Beaulieu motor museum, Portsmouth docks, crabbing at keyhaven, fishing in a stream (nets, buckets and crablines boudht in Lyndhurst) which the kids could paddle in at Balmer Lawn. The facilities were very good and well maintained - although to be fair it was at the end of the season and wasn't busy at all. We'd stay here again for sure but think we'd avoid the school holidays, I'd imagine it's a very popular site and as such probably noisy and the facilities might struggle to cope with demand.
Wildlife freely roams the site and we saw donkeys, cattle, horses and ponies. No traffic noise and lots of birds. The site is picturesque and with direct access to the forest many walks can be had. The staff were polite and very informative.
This is my favourite Forestry Commission New Forest campsite to date but as said earlier it's probably very different at peak times.

Roundhill is a lively campsite, and covers a very large area. There are three toilet blocks which offer basic but efficient facilities. Pitches are unmarked, you camp where you want, but with the provisio that you leave 6m between yourself and the next tent. This rule was largely adhered to. We went over the August bank holiday, when the site was full. There were occasionally queues for the toilets, particularly the ladies, and also on occasions, the 'pot wash' area water was tepid at best. The ground itself was reasonably level, and there was plenty of cover offered by trees and bushes if required. The site is ideally situated for getting into the New Forest, although Lyndhurst is best described as a permanent traffic jam. We enjoyed ourselves but will probably look for something a little quieter next time. Also, watch out for the Donkeys and Ponies; they really can undo zips on your tent!

We have just returned from our three night stay at Roundhill with two children. The site really is in the heart of the New Forest with Forest Ponies wandering through the site along with Donkeys and Cows! The site is open with some shelter from the trees surrounding. You can choose your own pitch which I imagine could be a bit tricky if it was at capacity.
The toilet blocks are okay. They are a little grubby but it is from inconsiderate people not cleaning up after themselves after walking in with muddy boots (I think some people wore them in the shower!) The blocks are cleaned regularly. The site is very quiet and the noise rule in, most part, is adhered to. The staff were very helpful when needed and were more than willing to offer advice and were seen around the site checking everything was okay.
Please note that this site is built on an old airfield and therefore you will need suitable pegs.
But overall a really lovely site even in the pouring rain!

Really enjoyed our family's first ever camping holiday at this campsite. Found the toilet block very good with hot water and rarely had to queue. The site seemed very spacious even when full and it was nice that the tents, caravans etc were kept well spaced apart. We have a big tent but didn't have any difficulty in finding a pitch. We camped Sunday to Thursday night and the most noise was children playing which we like anyway. Some untidy people around with one incident of dog poo noticed - please take it home with you dog owners! Make sure you fasten your tent up when away as several people had the donkeys raid theirs. Great seeing all the animals close up. Take a kite with you as there is a great field to fly it in.

Having never been camping before I took the plunge and agreed to spend 3 nights with my husband and 3 sons at Roundhill, along with my in-laws. I can honestly say I wish I had tried camping years ago!
Roundhill is a lovely site with loads of space to choose from. Not everywhere is suitable to pitch on as it is a bit bumpy in places but we easily found a lovely big space to erect 3 large tents together.
The kids loved the fact that horses, cows and the occasional donkey trooped through in the morning and back through at night. Although you have to make sure that you keep your food well stored as my father-in-law woke in the middle of the night to find a cow poking its head around in the kitchen area!
The website stated that the toilet/shower block had recently undergone a refurb and I found them to be a lot better and cleaner than I expected them to be in the middle of the forest! There is a mop and bucket left out for people to give the floor a quick once over after they have used the showers and most people did use them (obviously there was the occasional person that didn't but I just gave it a quick once over before getting in).
The only thing missing was a play area for the children but then again with 500 pitches on site it would have to be a very big one! And my children made their own fun and never once complained that they were bored.
There are some lovely walks in the surrounding area and it is only a short drive into Brockenhurst to the shops for essentials. There is also a lovely fish and chip shop in Brockenhurst for that evening that no-one wants to cook as well as a chinese and indian takeaway.
Brockenhurst also has some lovely pubs for lunch/dinner and a lovely little tearooms for the obligatory cream-tea!
I will definitely be visiting again!

We had a pleasant stay at the campsite but I'm not sure if we'd use it again. My positive comments are: staff were helpful; ponies/donkeys wandering the campsite were brilliant; location is excellent.
On the downside - finding a pitch is really hard as the ground is so bumpy; you can easily bottom-out the car in a lot of places; toilets and showers were very dirty; the campsite has a lot of rules but they aren't enforced (people camping right next to you, noise at night etc).

Booked a 4 night stay at the beginning of August and had the best time ever. Nice welcome with the usual don't list from the rangers due to staying in the the national park and then let loose to find a pitch. Even though our tent was large found a great pitch by the water tower. Ground is uneven but you can find gems within the field. Facilities were great nice hot showers 4 in each of the 3 block, no problem even at peak times. Toilets cleaned daily and a mop and bucket left if you left a mess. Washing up room with 6 sinks and even dog showers. The best part was living with the wildlife, ponies, cows and donkeys. They didn't bother you unless food was left in the open, or they sought shelter behind your tent. Fantastic drainage on the fields, poured all day Tuesday, cleared puddles by afternoon Wednesday. A great 5 days in the wild.

We stayed at Roundhill for a weekend in a pre-errected Eurocamp tent. The tent was fully equipped with everything needed for cooking and sleeping.
The children loved the New Forest ponies walking past the tent. Be warned not to leave food lying around. The ponies are very hungry this year due to a hard winter! The wardens advised us this when we arrived. The wardens were friendly and helpful.
There were always toilets available and we didn't have to queue for the showers. We timed our visit to the showers just after cleaning time. They were lovely and warm!
Would definitely return to Roundhill with our own tent. It was very useful to hire a pre-erected tent to see if camping was for us and also to establish what equipment we would need.

We stayed here for three nights in August. The site is large, although the ground is pretty bumpy so not everywhere is useable.
The shower blocks got pretty busy at peak times, and by the end of the day were pretty grubby. There were only three, which didn't seem enough for the size of the site.
It was pretty busy, there were lots of large family groups and couples, but everything was pretty quiet by 10.30pm.
We were told at the office that tents must be at least 6m apart, but no-one was adhering to that rule, and I never saw anyone patrolling and monitoring this.
The site was quite scenic, with lots of trees if you wanted shade.
Overall a nice site, but I would only return out of school holidays when it was quieter.

Lovely campsite. We went for a very hot and sunny few days in June. The site is deep in the forest so don't really get any road noise etc. Perfectly positioned in the New Forest area.
A few trees, a few bushes, lots of edges to pitch up against. Quite bumpy ground in some areas though. Didn't witness this site getting full, although we were over to the right near the Eurohike tents. Other areas did look very busy, especially around the Round Hill.
A chap cycles round in the evening to make sure you've kept to the 6m rule - this is for your own sake, there are horror stories about horses getting cornered in in people's porches and horrific bruises to show. Makes sense.
More horses than ponies here and the cattle roaming about are nice to see.
Toilets and showers were fine but quite a few of the locks were broken in our local block and the toilet walkway was very small, be careful not to burst out of the cubicle as you may send someone flying! I like the large sized shower cubicles though, lots of room for your bag, to change etc.

This is not the first time I have been to Roundhills, have camped at 2 others nearby in the past, we book a week here in july as I love to go to the new forest show in Brockenhurst which I highly recommend for a great day out.
We like this site because of all the lovely open space and we can bike into Brockenhurst through the forest along a cycle track with our dog of the lead, where we have great breackfast and some evening meals at the Rose & Crown pub the food is good value for money and have a lovely carvery 3 times a week, Brockenhurst has a few little shops also a tescos exspess, they have a few take aways did not try the fish n chips but it always seemed busy so must be good, there is a great indian on the high street would recommend
The site itself is great we arrived on a monday and there was plenty of space to chose from and most of the week stayed fairly quiet but on friday night campers arrived in massis which of course made the site extremely busy and very noisy there seem to be lots of groups that could be a little loud at times. We were unlucky to be near people who did not keep there dogs (3) on leads and then spent all night shouting there names and calling them back.
The toilet and showers were fine and kept clean during the week but come the week end I think they should have been cleaned more than once a day because they became filthy, mostly due to people not mopping the floor once they had finished in the shower.
Overall great site with some lovely sceanary ponies and cows only a problem if you don't take the advice given by the Wardens.

This is a lovely site. We loved going for walks into the forest straight from the site, and the ponies and donkeys coming up to the tent made it interesting for the children.
We loved: being able to pitch anywhere, meaning everyone is pitched haphazardously. There are some great pitches on the perimeter road with trees and little hideaway areas. The site is dead quiet after 10pm, really good.
We disliked: there just aren't enough showers. There are 4 showers in each ladies and gents x 3 blocks for the whole site (500 pitches) and there were constant queues for the ladies from about 7am to midnight. The toilet blocks (portable cabins) are very cramped- there's a mop and bucket for mopping out the shower when you've finished but this means edging back along the row of washbasins where everyone else is queuing and it's just not big enough.
The dishwashing room has 6 sinks in there but is cramped so only 4 people can use it comfortably at a time. They'd have been better off providing some outdoor sinks where space wasn't an issue. Having said that, there's plenty of hot water and good pressure so your shower and dishwashing is worth the wait. To be fair, our stay coincided with the start of the school summer holidays and the place was heaving.
Very friendly wardens and we did see them patrolling the site in the evening which definitely helps with noise reduction.

This was the best site we have ever been to, the kids had a wonderful time, it was great for walks in the forest and only a short drive from the sea. The facilities were clean, but would probably get rather busy when the site is full. Beware of the donkeys raiding your food when your not there though (this happened to someone while we were there)
There's plenty of pubs to eat at and so much to see the and do and we would loved to of stayed longer.
The surrounding areas are very pretty and there's a lovely spot by a river which the children can paddle and play in, just down the road towards Brockenhurst.
We will definitely be going here again and soon.

Very nice camp-site. Spacious, open and the staff were very nice, friendly and helpful. I had reservations about going to such a big place, but, that actually adds to the appeal. It can take a lot of people without feeling crowded. Facilities are spot on. Great showers, toilets and washing up and because of the way the site is organised, you are never far from a block.
Its great fun having the ponies stroll by (and help themselves to some carrots that were in one of our tents) and the location is great. Close to Lymington and Poole, and you can just amuse yourself around the camp-site, with lots of walks.
Overall, fabulous!

This was our first time to roundhill, and I must say with out a doubt we will be going back again.
Arrival and check-in.
Upon arrival and everytime I spoke to the staff they were helpful, friendly and made you feel right at home with their advice and easy manner. Check in was quick, easy and simple.
Site and locally.
On site they don't have a shop, but rent ice packs, and do charge phones so that's helpful.
The nearest shops are in brockenhurst a 2 min drive or a big tesco in everton 20 min drive towards christchurch. The site was clean no rubbish or dog mess, and there is loads of room to pitch, site was very quite from around 9.30pm so sleeping wasn't a problem. Loads of places to walk and pubs/towns to visit locally
Toilets and showers.
Toliets were very clean and every morning the handwash and toilet roll were filled up without fail. Could do with more showers but I never had to wait and some other left them dirty even when mop, bucket and clothes were supplied. Showers were nice and hot every time we used them, there lovely.
Wardens walk and drive around and there very friendly. Horses ponys donkeys and cows are great but not when you wake up to a cow who has left a missive poo 2 metres from your tent door and is there having a wee the first thing you wake up. Great wake up call lol.
Washing up area and waste water disposal area.
All in all we loved it and I cant wait to return next year.
