Reviewer: Shready 3 reviews from this member

 Went for 4 nights, Tuesday to Saturday, myself, wife, our 2 boys (10 & 14) and our Lab puppy.

I have used this site a number of times over the years but always at a weekend and it does get rather busy and can be noisy, so we opted for midweek this time. The site was about two thirds full but we found a spot in a field with only a few other campers sharing it with us.

Roundhill is a lovely campsite and well managed and maintained. The staff are attentive but not in your face.

The toilet/shower blocks are fairly new but there are queues at the obvious times. We tended to use them straight after they had been cleaned.

We found plenty to do in the area including visits to the seaside and some lovely pubs and restaurants.

Overall, a great campsite but best visited during the week.

Reviewer: Frothy.Bevy 4 reviews from this member

 Nice site and although it was fully booked still plenty of room. Although not many obvious camping spots of an evening as very undulating site in places. There were a few muddly puddles around even though it hadn't rained for a few days so something to watch out for.

Staff friendly and helpful on-site. Showers and toilets kept clean even though there were probably 2,000(ish) people on-site.

Cycling in the area is excellent, stayed at Hollands Wood a few times so this made a nice change as didn't seem so crowded. Plenty of space for the kids to run around and a horse coming into the tent on the last day was a particular highlight!

Exbury house a few miles away with its steam railway etc. Is great for smaller children rather that Beaulieu which is much busier.

A nice site that we would be happy to visit again.

 It was our first time camping and what a stunning site, booked in at the site office and were told the dos and don'ts for the site and told to set up the tent anywhere we like.

We set the tent near some trees and not too far from the loos block.The site is mostly flat with some bumps but nothing to worry about.

Wild horses everywhere you look and happy to stick their head in the tent and have a nose for food HA HA but was told to keep food in the car and never leave food in the tent.

The loos and washing blocks=this is how a camping sites loos and washing blocks should be done. Loads of wc and the shower was just the right temperature for us. The washing up room was great,hot water and nice layout with about 6 sinks.

The only small fault was the british weather and a storm flooded some parts of the field including where we had pitched the tent Ha Ha

We don't have kids but this would be a great site for them loads of stuff to do and see

 Great family campsite. Loads of open space for games and groups. The New Forest gives a perfect setting and there are wooded areas and open plains alike - pitch where you fancy. Fantastic, hugely plentiful and clean toilets / showers.
The wild horses roaming the site are a real bonus too - 2 days spent here with friends was time very well spent. A great place to chill out. More populated and pricier per night than many of the campsites we have been to but no less enjoyable as a result due to the space on offer and the friendliness of all on site.

 Went for a weekend. Very pretty and the ponies and donkeys are fine. If they keep their distance! Very busy weekend and although fully booked, people weren't on top of each other.

However, the facilities! From a male point of view, three blocks of toilets and showers, equating to 12 showers for a site this size is inadequate. As were the washing up rooms. Nice and clean though. Also, no toilet rolls left on a Sunday morning. Should really consider the double load and slide systems.

At £17 a night, I found this a bit steep for one person with a two berth tent and car. However, does have a really good atmosphere and as said is very picturesque with a good mix of heath, tree's and woodland.

Sticklers for rules. One windbreak means one windbreak!

Nice enough though, and will probably go back some day.

 Spent two nights in July (Fri and Sat).

Very happy with this campsite. It's flat, plenty of space, decent facilities and is open on to the forest. The ponies just wonder through the site which is fantastic.

We'd pre-booked (seems compulsory nowadays) and were met with a warm welcome. The sign in was slick and easy. We toured around for 15 minutes to find a spot big enough for us and 5 other families who were joining us later. Eventually found a spot at the far end by the water tower.

Even through the sign at the entrance said 'full' we were surprised just how un-full it felt. Plenty of spare room.

There were a mix of campers. One man, two man, couples, younger families, older couples, larger families - all the different ages.

The site was quiet with just the usual noise levels - nothing out of the ordinary. The facilities are great. Shower blocks with pot washing and toilets, cleaned once a day (watch out for the 1 to 2 hour closing of each block in rotation - the next block might be a bit of a walk). The showers are push button and lovely and warm. As is always the case you may have to queue at peak times but we just went outside peak times and mostly got straight in.

The ground is level although there were a few puddles as it had been raining. There was quite a breeze across the site while we were there. Made pitching fun!

No shop to talk about however Brockenhurst is close by car.

There is quite a large pond on site - perhaps not great for young children. However it's right by the entrance and most of the camping is some way for the entrance.

No children's playground but plenty of trees and such like for them to roam and play.

Definitely go again and while it's not the cheapest, it's a decent site.

 This is the largest and most 'official' campsite we have ever tried, but the girls wanted to camp with wild horses, so this fitted the bill

When we arrived I was horrified by the queue of cars waiting to check in, however, after a ten minute drive around the site, which is massive, we found a nice pitch. The 20 ft rule is a blessing here on a busy, hot weekend.

What can I say.It was fantastic, never had to queue for a loo, even though the 500 pitches were full, did have to queue for a shower though. The facilities are very clean. The only odd thing is children under 12 are not allowed to go to the toilet block without an adult.

The area is amazing, so much to do, although, the girls made friends on the site and we never really left it all weekend.

Having a wild New Forest pony in your tent is a tad unnerving, but a great photo opportunity.

Reviewer: Happy hippy 12 reviews from this member

 This really is a site of two halves. The central part of the site is very open with low ferns and gets very crowded and is quite noisy, but if you go to the back edge it is much more sheltered by the trees and is much quieter (although a fair trek to the toilet block).
The site is in a lovely location with easy access to Beaulie heath which is great for walking or cycling, with Brokenhurst and lyndhurst (a must to visit the sweet shop!) a short car journey.
There are 4 toilet blocks in total. They were kept very clean despite the site being full but the hand soap did run out. The downside is there are just not enough showers, the ladies started queueing very early and by 5.45 the queue was about 30 strong, out of the block and across the field, it's best to wait until mid day when there was still a queue but not nearly as long, predictably the queue was out the door again by 6pm and all evening.
The wash up sinks are clean and under cover. There is no shop on site but they do an ice pack service for £1 a block. There are ranger lead activites but at £5 per person these can get pricey. Do remember to pack all food away either in plastic boxes or back in your car as the ponies that roam the site will not think twice about going in your tent for food! All in all we loved the site despite the lack of showers and will be returning.

Reviewer: Laura.M 4 reviews from this member

 Beautiful woodland/heath site. Fairly large - around 500 pitches. We must have got one of the last spaces after a frantic last minute phone call as when we arrived an hour later the site was fully booked.

Rule is to pitch 6 metres from your neighbour, easy for us - maybe a little more difficult for those arriving any later in the day as the middle field was quite busy.

PLUSES: Lovely clean, new showers and toilet blocks. Plenty of hot water. Lovely countryside. Cute ponies. Helpful staff and nice towns in easy driving distance. Although a fairly big site it did not 'feel' big.

MINUSES: No children's play area (luckily ours found new friends and made their own fun!), although showers were lovely I think 12 showers per sex on this size site was a few too little - I queued for 35 minutes on Saturday!

Good camping shop in Lyndhurst for any forgotten bits and good local shops in Brockenhurst - the LONDIS will freeze your ice packs free of charge.

Reviewer: Crunkcamp 1 review from this member

 We went to this site last weekend for a couple of days on Thursday and Friday. Upon arrival the wardens were very friendly and we bought a Forest card for £15 (seems to have gone up compared to some earlier reviewers)this knocks £3.50 per night off the cost and therefore pays for itself in less than a week,so worth considering.

The site was lovely, no marked pitches, with the benefit that you can pitch anywhere; the disadvantage is that so can everyone else.

Scenery is stunning in this area, no problems with the ponies, they're just cute, they didn't come near my tent.

The toilet blocks were great, with warm showers and well cleaned. The shop sold instant barbeques and stuff, but is cash only, so be ready for that if you need last minute supplies. Nearby Brockenhurst is good. Snakecatcher pub has been raved about, in our opinion it was adequate but not spectacular ~ £40 for three courses for 2.

We'll definitely go back as it's such a nice site with lovely walks close by.

 Fantastic site. You pick your own unmarked pitch. Three new-ish toilet / shower blocks, which are kept clean. Plenty of hot water. Staff all very friendly. Naughty donkey visited our tent and there are lots of ponies around, so keep food packed away safely. 


Date of Visit: May 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Bourney97 3 reviews from this member

 Campsite had some very open areas but as was not very busy we pitched between some trees and had a great view of the woods. The site toilets and showers are kept very clean. There is no shop and it is a good drive to the town if you need anything, so you have to make sure you have everything you need.
The staff are great very helpful, when weather was really bad came around to make sure everyone was alright and if we needed any help. If you love horses this is the place for you as every morning they were around the caravan, or there were donkeys and at one time deer, it was brill. The only problem was an owl who decided to sit in the tree next to the caravan , but it is the country side and it was his tree .

Reviewer: Phil and Marian 8 reviews from this member

 We just spent a hectic weekend at Roundhill, our first visit to this site. We knew it would be busy being a bank holiday weekend and it was. Having said that we managed to find a nice spot to pitch the tent with trees and bushes to screen us from the nearest tents. Some parts of the site were very open and wall to wall tents.

We were not too far from one of the toilet blocks and we were fairly pleased with the facilities although I did find myself locked in a toilet on the day we arrived. The handle had broken and no one had informed the management. However once they were informed it was fixed.

We were warned that there was to be no noise after 11pm, and it was mainly adhered to, although I would recommend earplugs because with so many people camping around you there always seemed to be a baby crying or a dog barking or a train rumbling past a few miles away and on the last night a group of noisy boys shouting.

The best thing about this site was the fact that it is in the middle of the New Forest. The site is well away from the road and the trains I've mentioned are miles away. There are ponies and donkeys wandering around the site, and you are a short drive from Bealieu Motor Museum, Lymington,Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst, Exbury Gardens and Bucklers Hard. Also Paultons Park is less than half an hour away which is where our children dragged us on Sunday.

The site offers plenty of space for the children to run around, play football, have water fights without disturbing the peace and tranquillity.

Reviewer: Leefromsussex 2 reviews from this member

 The site is well set out with 3 good sized shower rooms and separate pot washing rooms. The showers are only push button type but that doesn't stop the water being nice and hot.

When I was looking at this site and read the reviews I must say I was a little put of by the fact it was on a old air field but once there I found it really didn't matter, yes there are concrete paths over some of the site but these are not runway size (in fact they are no wider than a car !) and didn't get in the way of a enjoyable time.

The only draw back that I could find with the site is that it is quite open on most of it and the wind really does whip across it if you get more than a breeze going.

In all if you are looking for a good child friendly site I would say this is for you , however nothing is within walking distance and there is no shop on site so expect to drive everywhere.

All in all really enjoyed the site (despite the weather ) and looking forward to going back latter in the year !

 Took a last minute long weekend break and stayed at Roundhill last weekend. Perhaps a little early in the season to make comment on the site overall as it was very quiet but we will be going back again from what we did experience.

A big site with a nice mixture of open areas as well as sheltered wooded sections around the site, 3 very good sized shower blocks with separate pot washing rooms all of which seem to have been renewed over the winter period to a very high standard.

It was dry whilst we where there ! I know its unbelievable, but I can see that there would be problems when it does rain with heavy puddling as the ground, although it looks flat, is quite wavering if that makes sense?

Great if you have a dog or over active children with you as you can walk out from the top of the site into the forest and Brokenhurst is only a short drive away for local shops.

All in all a good site that feels much more relaxed and unspoilt rather than the busy Hollands Wood site that is just down the road.
