Why stay here ...
Just 3 miles away from the pleasant village of Bransgore, you can find one the UK’s best caravan sites in the New Forest National Park. The caravan site in question is the New Forest Club site which was originally part of a Second World War airfield. In fact, parts of the original runway still exist and there is also a memorial to the New Forest Airfields just to the north of the caravan park, making this a very attractive destination should you be interested in war history.
Set amidst beautiful rolling countryside, New Forest Club Site has an open aspect and is home to The Club's celebratory Centenary Gardens with lovely bird life including Song Thrushes and Bullfinches. There is also an excellent dog walk plus loads of fun play equipment and a safe play field for younger visitors. The Hampshire caravanning site is a great base from which to explore the charming local landscapes by either foot or bike, with cycle routes starting as nearby as 200 yards. Conveniently located for visits to the busy towns of Christchurch, Poole and Bournemouth, the caravan park is also as well situated for a wealth of beaches and resorts for the perfect summer holiday.
A mobile fish and chip van visits this site. Please ask the site staff for more details.

Enjoyable stay....
A late availability & forecast of reasonable weather made us decide to try out the New Forest & we were pleasantly surprised with this spacious site & friendly wardens. Facilities were clean with a 1-way system in place. The site is flat, however the surrounding area can be hilly & cycling trails through the forest can be tricky on the loose gravel in places. Lovely site split into several areas named after the aircraft that had been part of the WW2 effort & that were based at the 12 airfields in & around the surrounding areas. A memorial of which is close by. Ideal for walking, cycling & plenty of local attractions to consider. Would definitely be somewhere to return with our grandchildren. The New Forest Pizza Company visit the site & are highly recommended.
Edit: stayed early September
Great Site with Great Staff
Stayed here late September and had a great time. The staff were brilliant, the location is excellent and the site is really well laid out, with a feel of a smaller site, despite it being one of the larger ones. We note that a fish & chip van visits site, but on the nights we stayed, there was also a Pizza Van - we tried their food and can highly recommend it! Good food, and great value. There are several walks from site into the New Forest - a circular walk to Holmsley is worth it as there's an excellent tea room at the Old Station, which is worth a stop over.
Great location
A site we've visited a good number of times, although this was our first post-covid visit. Lots of work had been done to make the site feel very safe, and to keep it feeling safe, even though its big and busy. Thank you wardens, really appreciate all your efforts.
This site is a fantastic location. You can walk into the forest from the site. Or you can drive to the coast in 10 minutes.
Nice site, good location - but a gsm/4G dead zone
Nice setting plenty of space; quiet - we never noticed any aircraft nose given Bournemouth airport is not that far away
Good facilities and well organised to be Covid-Secure
Great Location for ease of access from M27 and well located for cycling; walking and ease of access to Christchurch, Bournemouth, Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst & Lymington
BUT absolutely zero mobile phone signal (data, phone and sms) - probably a coverage issue within the New Forest and little the site can do about it

A very busy site: Nice but large
We came to this site when we had just started caravanning about 11 years ago. In fact it was our first trip out with a van. Since then we have been twice more, the latest being September 2020. The thing we have noticed is that the site has become much busier. The first night we were there, it was full. The way the site has grown and been laid out it feels very crowded with little privacy. Although when we were there the site itself was not noisy, there was aircraft noise (unavoidable) and garden machinery most days (the site size must mean there is always something going on).
The team of wardens were as friendly as ever and the toilet blocks and grounds were always clean and in good order. There were clear Covid19 protocols in place and definite evidence of extra cleaning and safety.
Would we come again? That is hard. For us, the negatives probably outweigh the positives when there are other good sites and CLs in the area. If there was nothing else for the dates we want, then we would come back. Nothing against the site or staff, it is just not the kind of size we like.
