Why stay here ...
Once the royal hunting forest of William the Conqueror and now a beautiful National Park, the Black Knowl (New Forest) Club Site has an open, peaceful aspect while being conveniently located within walking distance of Brockenhurst. The Hampshire caravan site is in a wonderful setting in the forest and in October at night, stags can be heard roaring in the forest, along with owls and other forest creatures. The town offers plenty of good quality restaurants, places of interest and shopping treats to keep everyone in the family happy on their holiday.
Black Knowl (New Forest) Club Site opens onto over 140 miles of lovely walking track for you to explore in the Forest whether on foot, cycle or horseback. For those with an interest in local history, The Lyndhurst Museum and Visitors' Centre will shed more than enough light on the rich and fascinating past of the Forest. Other nearby attractions include The National Motor Museum at Beaulieu, Exbury Gardens and The New Forest Reptile Centre. For those who dream of taking to the open sea, cruise ships can be viewed on the nearby Solent. You can reach the Isle of Wight via Lymington Ferry and visit Lepe Country Park by the sea with a cafe (seasonal and weekend openings) and children's play area and BBQ area for hire. If you fancy some retail therapy, the Southampton and Bournemouth shopping centres are within easy driving distance from the caravan park and will leave you spoilt for choice.
If you are fancying a take away, Brockenhurst has a great choice. Details of all restaurants, take aways and days out are available in our Information Room.

Another good Club Site
Black Knowl Caravan Club Site
Very pleasant site, well maintained (as you would expect from a CAMC) nicely spaced out and the cleanest toilets and showers I think I have seen so far on a club site! Good location for cycling, walking and Brockenhurst (walk across the heathland). Very quiet site, but that might reflect the time of year as it was outside of school holidays.

fell in love with this amazing sites location
Black Knowl Caravan Club Site
so our first visit here a couple of weeks ago a lovely welcome by the staff, we were late arriving and a little stressed but the staff were wonderful and obliging's .
the area was just amazing and i quickly booked to go again so very peaceful and friendly .
the speed limit is is 5 mph like most sites but there are always some who just will not drive to be safe ,they were plenty of dogs around we fount no issues as we walked our own, most people were very friendly and helpful.
it was wonderful to see the horses just roaming around along with other live stock.
I would just like to say thank you to everyone i met there it was a faboulas holiday.
Speeding and Dog Exercising
Black Knowl Caravan Club Site
This is an excellent site and in an excellent location, but visits are spoiled by too many members who fail to adhere to the speed limit. I don’t mean by an extra mile or two per hour, but by a lot more than double the limit. Can’t these members read?
The Club should post electronic speed recording devices around the site.
Also, more and more dog owners are just walking their dogs around the green spaces around the camp site, very often between pitches so their dog can do it’s toilet business. These members should be filmed by other members and then banned. This particular location is fantastic for dog owners with the forest common land just outside the gate, so why do they have to wander around the site until their dog(s) perform?
The Club should place signage around the site so guilty members have no excuses. Site staff should also give a verbal warning when carrying out check-in on arrival.
Does not disappoint
Black Knowl Caravan Club Site
Being just over an hour from home, we love Black Knowl, and have been many times. Brockenhurst itself is delightful, with cafes, wine bar, an excellent butcher, Tesco & Co-Op. Our electric bikes enable us to explore far and wide on the many traffic-free routes through the forest. Lyndhurst is an easy cycle, with interesting shops and the New Forest Heritage Centre being well worth a visit. One minor disappointment was the Fish & Chip van (Wednesday) - having been on a 20 mile ride to Lymington and beyond, we were looking forward to a fish supper, and not having to cook. We were very surprised that they had run out of all fish by 7pm (open until 7.30pm) - surely that's the mainstay of their business (they serve several CAMC sites in the area throughout the week)?? Let's hope it was just a one-off, otherwise maybe the site should consider a different vendor?
Perfect!
Black Knowl Caravan Club Site
Love this site. Set in the New Forest you are spoilt for choice where to walk without needing your car. Perfect for our black Labrador - lots of streams to cool off in after the walks and hot weather we had at the beginning of the summer. Brockenhurst, a lovely walk across the lawns, has everything you need for shopping - a fabulous butcher/fishmonger, green grocers and bakers, as well as gift shops, Tesco’s and a co-op. We only shopped once elsewhere over the 3 weeks we stayed! Plenty of places to eat from breakfasts, cream teas to dinners and drinks. Recommend the Snakecatcher, Commoners Wine Bar, Forresters, New Forest Inn and The Oak Inn in Bank. Just a fabulous place. Only small criticism was that wardens were a little slow refilling the hand sanitizer points by toilets and service points so have your own handy. Can’t wait to be back next Autumn.
