Why stay here ...
Site is now open for Adults only.
My CL is a quiet site situated on a smallholding within the New Forest national park. The site has levelled part stoned pitches, set in a lawned area and is part sloping with electrical hook ups and space for awnings available. The site is an excellent base for exploring the New Forest with the village of Burley a 20 minute walk and beaches only 25 mins away by car. There is direct access to the Forest which is ideal for walking with the dog and bike riding. Up to two dogs allowed.

Very sloping pitches
Randalls Farm
Very sloping, needs lots of blocks to get van level on 3 of the pitches , one behind barn with no view is flattest. Other pitches quite close together, our pitch did not have enough level ground beside it to
Sit out and use a table without everything on a slope.
It would have been very difficult to put up an awning.
Suitable for wet and windy, as well as a great location
Randalls Farm
The pictures make this look an ideal location, and they show the best of the site I think three are great pitches and two are good. The great benefit though is the location on the lea side of a bank neat the top of the ridge, we suffered some extreme winds (and a poor porch awning) but there was no give in the awning at all. Well I slightly exaggerate, the wet weather did make the ground (grass) very wet and struggled to hold some of the pegs, regardless the van was on the hard standing, which is not too deep and takes pegs very well - probably about as good as I've used,
Yes there is a slope, our caravan mover gave in going up the steepest slope on site. However it is not difficult to get a level position when you get there. I would have driven it further up but the grass was soft..
The real advantage is that from here you are straight out onto the heath, we did three major walks from the site. I would advise walking the long way to Burley down the lane around the back, it is three miles all round and better than down the road and back (which is safe).
The sad thing is that the site was not filling after the Easter week, I know that this is a site we will revisit as the weather conditions would have caused bigger problems elsewhere.
Otherwise, very much how you'd expect a well run CL. Ideal for us , and will visit again in the future.
Also the owners are nice folk too.
I think this is the 75th CL we have visited - on balance it will be top 10.
Perfect base for New Forest walks
Randalls Farm
Friendly welcome - relaxed, peaceful site. If, like us, you just like to walk in the forest this is a great place to stay. Generous pitches with easy access but you'll need your ramps. Access is from Randall's Lane, come in from the eastern end by Burley Street Garage. Look for the buildings in the photo above, they'll be on your left opposite a wide area where you can pull in. We'll definitely be back!
Perfect stay in the New Forest
Randalls Farm
Having not long got our first caravan this was the first CL stay that I had arranged having had fond memories of staying on many with my parents in my younger days and it couldn't have been any better!
The site looked perfect when I read the description and reviews, booking was easily sorted via email.
The site is a short distance up a gravel track (Randalls Lane), don't worry if you miss the first turn, I did, as there is a second by the garage. Upon arrival we were greeted by Andy who took us up to the site and explained the pitches and facilities as well as some info about the local area, walks from the site etc., very helpful. The site is on quite a slope but each pitch is terraced into the slope though we still needed a levelling ramp and some blocks for the legs to get it right. The pitches are partially hard standing with a gravel track leading to them but I could imagine it might be troublesome if it were particularly wet without 4x4. That said we somehow managed to book the hottest week of the year to date so no worries on that front. Luckily the hedge and trees behind the pitches offered some shade later in the day.
The site was perfect, so peaceful and scenic. Lovely watching the bats flying about in the evenings and listening to the owls. The kids enjoyed the field as there was plenty of room to play and a bit shady up the far end which was welcome. The walk up the lane at the back of the site leads to a stunning viewpoint to watch the sunset and you can walk (or cycle) all the way into Burley and beyond if you wish.
The area was perfect too and we had a good mix of forest activities as well as plenty of time on the beach which was ideal given the weather.
Welcoming owners, beautiful site, good mix of stuff to do, will probably be back someday!
Thanks for having us.
Nice site, centrally located
Randalls FarmVery nice owners, very welcoming. Happy to chat, but equally happy to leave you to get on. Site is very well located within the New Forest for both the forest and the coast. No issues with access to, or exit from site. As others have mentioned, the site is sloping and whilst pitches have been levelled out a bit you will still need levelling blocks. Near the main road from the A31 to Burley, and depending on the wind direction traffic noise can become quite intrusive. The private road that runs behind most of the pitches was busier than expected from other reviews, but because vehicles crawled along it we didn't find it an issue. The site is well screened from the road, so it is not as if people are staring in at you as they pass. Waste disposal & bins (with recycling) were at the bottom of the hill, and water & separate grey waste about half way down. All easy to use. EHU easy to reach from each pitch. The pitches get the morning sunshine, and start to get shade (and relief from the heat) by later afternoon/early evening. Pleasant field views from all the pitches, with a tree line behind. We ate at the Queens Head in Burley one evening, food was very nice and would recommend a visit. Would recommend this site as a weekend stop off, or for a longer stay.
Membership number was requested when booking.
