 On arriving we were shown to our large pitch and told where the sun rose and set and where all facilities were.
The whole site is very well looked after. The access to the forest is in the corner of the field and has a lovely stream with a small foot bridge over it and rope swings for the kids to play on.
The only downside is no play ground for the kids but they soon make friends and entertain them selves
The wardens are friendly and very helpful.
Hope to go back soon.

We arrived in what must have been just about the wettest time possible, having already been told by the wardens the day before setting off that if we wanted to cancel we could.
So glad that we didn't though. It meant there were very few caravans there, so our view of the beautiful Forest and the herds of deer were outstanding! The toilet block and showers at first glance looked pretty basic as they were in portable cabins. Just shows you should never judge a book by its' cover as they were spotlessly clean and more than adequate.
Too many places of interest to list them all but two of the highlights had to be the fact that you could walk to Brockenhurst and Lyndhurst from the site. Through the beautiful Forest and when you go to Brockenhurst over heathland too. Everything was in easy distance if you wanted to eat out, have a takeaway, top up on milk etc.
The wardens couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful, they were absolutely lovely.
We will definitely come back to this site and would recommend it to anyone.

This is our third visit here and we will be returning next year. The site is a large field with toilet and shower blocks which are always clean and fresh.
There are 3 washing up points that were again always clean and tidy and plenty of fresh water points around the field. You can exit the field on foot at far end and this takes you straight in to the forest, leading to a stream with rope swing which my children loved.
The campsite was well run by friendly couple who were very helpful in making our stay a really good one.
This is a really lovely peaceful place to spend some time away from the bustle of every day life.

This is what campsites should be like, great couple who run it, back to nature with surroundings, no pretences, good old fashioned camping, anyone who could find something wrong here, go to Butlins instead.
Toilets and showers are fine and are being updated this year,
Alan and his wife are so helpful, nothing too much trouble, great site, we will be going back for running and biking without a doubt.

Our first time at this site and thought it was super.
The location is amazing - leave the campsite gates straight into the forest where you can cycle a couple of miles down to Brockenhurst. Fab.
It was busy at half term, but still plenty of room to throw a ball. The facilities were clean and well kept.
The campsite owners were friendly and helpful with lots of knowledge of the local area. We will be coming back here.

We have just returned from a week at this lovely campsite. We were quickly shown where our pitch was, which was a decent size, with plenty of room our large tent and event shelter.
We had our two dogs with us, their first camping trip, and they had a marvellous time. There was a rule that all dogs should be on a lead at all times on the site, which most people observed! but since it was a short walk to the gate to the forest where they could run free, it was not an issue.
The forest nearby was beautiful, the stream running through was lovely, winding its way through and we spent many a happy hour wandering admiring the scenery. The dogs loved the water, rushing in and out and swimming.
The rule was needed as there were herds of deer, which at different times of day were roaming the campsite. They were lovely to see as they were not intrusive, but kept their distance.
All the other campers, not so many as the weather was windy, rainy and sunny throughout the week!, were very friendly and the whole camp-site had a very relaxed atmosphere.
The facilities were warm and always very clean, although in portable cabins, but are due to be totally rebuilt over the winter, so next year should be splendid. There will also be a large increase in the number of EHU pitches.
The wardens were marvellous, very helpful and available for information about the local area.
We hope to return for another visit as soon as possible.

We stayed here for 2 nights in early June. As it was the weekend after the bank holiday the campsite was fairly empty, with just a few tents and vans scattered around. We think the rangers allocated sites to give good spacing to everyone as it was easy to feel like we were the only ones there.
Rangers were friendly and welcoming and the pitches are a generous size so even if the site were busy I don't think it would feel crowded.
The spot is really lovely, on the edge of an open field which was filled with deer while we were there. There's a gate at the back of the site leading into the forest and there are cycling and walking trails right from the campsite.
We didn't get a chance to explore the river this time as we were only there for two nights. It's also nice and close to Brockenhurst and you can find all the basics there. We were also delighted to see the traffic stop in the main street of Brockenhurst to allow a herd of New Forest ponies to pass through - our 2 year old loved it!
The facilities were clean and well stocked with toilet paper. The showers are a little small and are all designated by sex so there were no family showers. This isn't a complaint, just an observation as we have two very small children and it's much easier to get everyone clean if we can go into a stall as a family.
A great site and we had a lovely experience there. We'll definitely be back.

Just returned from a long weekend on this site. Friendly greeting from lady warden on arrival. Spotless loos etc. Beautiful surroundings. Quiet. Felt like David Attenbourgh watching the deer just yards from our van. Fascinating. Just sorry we had to leave.
We walked to Brockenhurst a couple of times easily and found the walk and the little town a delight. New forest ponies were in abundance.

Stayed here for a weekend at the beginning of October, in an unprecedented heatwave, and was very happily surprised. The camping field is huge, which can mean for quite a walk to the toilet blocks, but I guess that's the price you pay for a bit of isolation from other campers.
Despite the 'marked pitches', we were allowed to pitch where we liked which meant that we could at least find some shade from the blazing sunshine. Most of the site is open and flat with forest along two sides.
Toilet portacabins were very pleasant and well maintained. Grass was a bit on the long side but it made for a good soft foundation to pitch on. Plenty of taps so no long walks for water. Prices were very reasonable, £8 per person with no hidden extras.
Only criticism is that there are no styles for getting over the surrounding wall, presumably to keep other forest visitors out, so from where we pitched, despite being just yards from the trees, it was quite a long walk to get into the forest proper. But then why go to the woods if you don't want to walk?
While we were there the deer stags were in rutting mode so they were bellowing all through the night, but it was a bonus rather than a drawback. You can't get much more in tune with nature than being surrounded by battling stags, I reckon.
We will definitely be going back to this one.

The wind was quite strong but due to the wardens expert advice we were pitched so as not to be affected by it. The site is flat and spacious and the pitches are of generous proportions.
There is an abundance of wildlife with a herd of cautious deer in the field however the ponies are kept out by the fence which saves your food being stolen by peckish ponies.
The toilet and shower block was warm and clean if a little cramped in the actual shower tray area but a new block is being applied for which would make this site even better.
The site is set in the heart of the New Forest within walking distance to Brockenhurst and Lyndhurst where there is plenty of choice for food and drink.
However the thing that makes want to go back again most is the friendly and helpful service we got from the warden, definitly first class

This site is beautifully located between Brockenhurst and Lyndhurst. We were there in the rutting season for the deer and there were plenty around to see, even right inside the campsite. We even heard the stags bellowing at night.
There is a long entrance road, but you can access the forest directly (on foot or bike) via a gate at the back of the site, perfect for motorhome users who don't take their unit out during their stay.
In terms of facilities, there is only a shower and toilet block with washing up sinks - which is being upgraded for 2012.
Big downside for us was that when I was in the shower on our last night the cleaner man came into the ladies showers. We would not return.

Our family visited this campsite twice a couple of years back. It is a great campsite and at that time it was run by a kind gentleman. The campsite facilities were OK. We were on a great big field with nature all around us. Roads not too close. Woods next to us and through them the most lovely nature walks to the nearby shops. It was a fair old walk but it was the scenery that was just so gorgeous! Horses all around. Dears sniffing at night. I am going back as soon as I can.

Nice if basic site that 'does what it says on the tin'. Flat field with good clean facilities and plently of water pipes etc. Nice walk in to Brokenhurst (unless you are my 8 year old going on teenager son!) passed lots of horses and even some foals.
Would go back if we wanted to be in the area, but definitely avoid driving through Lymington (even midday midweek it crawls)!
Cheaper than the Forest Holidays sites near by, and had availability at the last minute in high season.
Slightly difficult to find - turn off for the show ground and follow the little green signs even past where it says 'Private no entry' and you do eventually get there.

Our first visit to this site, on our arrival we were met by very friendly site wardens.
The pitch sizes are very generous, but being on pitch 1 with electric h/u we were next to the cesspit which was very smelly on several occasions so we would not recommend any pitches 1-6.
The site facilities left a lot to be desired, quite often no hot water fro washing up.
Showers very small and in porta cabins, these facilities could definitely do with improving especially at such a high cost to stay there.
Site location was perfect, no need to use the car at all, cycle/walking routes straight from the site to both Brockenhurst and Lyndhurst and many areas of the New Forest, and if you have a dog they are welcome and will love the forest and heathland.
Regular visitors to the site is a herd of dear both during the day and night. General maintenance of the site could be improved but overall this would not put us off considering a return visit.
If you want peace and quite, space and the stars at night and be at one with nature then this is the site for you.

This site is amazing, it was our first camping experience and we struck gold completely.
The campsite is immaculate and I mean immaculate, owners are lovely and very helpful, the pitches are huge, the owner does not believe in squishing people in, you have plenty of room, we had a huge corado 6 tent with awning and minibus (hubby drives taxis lol) and we still had tons of room to play.
The deer come into the park in the night, completely surreal feeling to hear the deer grazing inches from where you sleep. You can walk to the local villages/towns. The new forest ponies are amazing, the children were completely blown away.
Only improvement I could think of was if the office maybe stocked basic supplies and newspapers, but its not a long walk to village. Hopefully if not fully booked we will be returning this August and I'm the sort to never return to same place twice. Can't wait
