Why stay here ...

Touring season dates at Black Knowl have now been extended until January 2020.

Black Knowl Club site has now been redeveloped to include a brand new toilet and shower facility with family shower rooms, 29 new hardstandings (18 of which are serviced) and improved reception and parking. We look forward to welcoming you.

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.

A lovely site with a very friendly and helpful warden

A lovely site in a great location. Excellent facilities too. There had been quite a lot of rain prior to our visit and we got caught out whilst trying to turn our campervan around on a grassed area that was much wetter than we thought. We got stuck! Fortunately the friendly warden was on hand to help out and got us moving again along with some help from a fellow camper too.

Great site, welcoming and fantastic facilities

We stayed over Christmas in our campervan. Great facilities onsite, with welcoming friendly wardens. You can cycle, walk or run straight out onto the forest so great when camping with dogs. We will stay again.

Simply Superb

Access to this site is not difficult at all, just ensure you follow club directions on your approach through Brockenhurst. Wardens at time of visit very friendly and helpful. Site is well laid out, and despite what others say felt spacious. The hardstanding pitches were generous in size, well maintained and for the most part level. The facilities block is new, was always spotlessly clean and there was always plentiful hot water. The site offers walking direct into the New Forest, and varied walks are available. We got a strong signal for TV through our Status and good reception on EE for web browsing. Tesco express in Brockenhurst for shopping, but all the other suspects available a bit further afield.

Fabulous Site

When we stayed on this site it was fairly quiet (unlike other reviewer's experiences) but this was out of school holidays and out of the main season (first week in October). The site itself is well laid out (as with most other CMC sites) and the facilities are, or appeared to be, brand new. Spotless and warm with good water pressure and loads of hot water! The wardens (and apologies because I forgot to note their names) were fabulous. They rang us en-route because we were delayed due to a serious road accident on the M3 and provided us with their mobile number so we weren't left in the late arrivals area overnight. Also very helpful with local info and, as we were attending a wedding very local to the site and were leaving the van unattended for one night, made sure it was secure for us. They were also able to provide a reasonably priced hose extension when ours wouldn't reach the tap. Just be aware of the very high, steep, and generally awkward road humps on the approach roads which despite crawling over still grounded our jockey wheel (I know this isn't the clubs fault as they are managed by the New Forest administration but they are too high) We will be back!!
