Just 3 miles away from the pleasant village of Bransgore, you can find one the UK’s best campsites in the New Forest National Park. The New Forest Club Campsite was originally part of a Second World War airfield and parts of the original runway still exist. 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 Campsite 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. This Hampshire campsite 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 site is also as well situated for a wealth of beaches and resorts along with trips to nearby Dorset, for the perfect summer holiday.

very well appointed site as you'd expect

New Forest Centenary Club Campsite
First the moans: The rubbish situation is rubbish. Bins really need to be more central and accessible. no consideration for older people or the less fit. Box ticking green cred makes me laugh. How many people actually return their left over fresh water to the barrel by the taps? but it's the age we live in when boxes must be ticked. Grass. Please cut it more frequently. It doesn't just look untidy it's inconvenient. The longer it is the longer it stays wet. Now for the plus points.: large site but broken down into areas so doesn't feel big. Only 2 facilities blocks though that might be pushed in high season and is a bit of a trek from some parts of the site. Very attractive childrens play area near the entrance. Smaller play area near dog walk for younger kids. Football area with goal posts. Excellent dog walk for off lead run. Ticks everywhere so give them a good rub down after. Access and arrival area very good, good visibility from gate and plenty of parking near the office. Site has a small shop which is so useful. Surrounding villages littered with lovely pubs and beaches a short drive. Something for everyone really.

First visit will return

New Forest Centenary Club Campsite
Having read the reviews before attending I was a little worried, but I was pleasantly surprised. Had a grass pitch which was great. Pretty level and plenty of space. Nice to see unused grass areas were left to grow high for the wildlife. Facilities were as expected, clean, functional. I found the central waste area was ok. Just took out waste with us when we went out for the day to deposit on the way out. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Great site to explore the coast within a 20 minute drive. Will certainly return for a longer stay.

An itch that needed scratching !!

New Forest Centenary Club Campsite
We have stayed here fairly regularly from it's initial opening and always been pleased to go back. Our most recent stay, however, has highlighted a few policy changes (itches) that I have to scratch. 1. The number of wardens on the site seemed to vary between 8 and 10 with one, next to the toilet blocks having noisy dogs. 2. The Liberator field was left unopened during our stay, despite having been mown and fit underfoot, thus restricting customer choice. 3. Despite being "full" the overflow toilet blocks remained unopened. 4. What with the "no bins policy" and the minimal mowing policy I am at a loss how the number of wardens remain gainfully employed. The site remains a favourite of ours in The New Forest, especially, since Black Knowl prices have hit the Stratosphere!! The site and facilities are clean, the location is good for walks and cycling in the New Forest. It's a shame that Caravan Club policies are spoiling the feel.

Lovely site......But rapidly deteriorating

New Forest Centenary Club Campsite
WE have stayed on this site at least twice a year for the last 10 years or so, whilst we still like coming here the site has deteriorated a lot over the past few years. Firstly about 3 years ago the deterioration started by the closing of some of the pitches on the 'Liberator' section of the site, then the following year even more pitches were closed on this section and someone also had the mad idea of not cutting all the grass. I agree that in some areas the grass need'nt be cut thus allowing wild flowers and wild life etc to flourish. But leaving strips between pitches is not only unsightly but renders that area of the pitch unusable even for putting chairs on to sit out. When we arrived this year we found the whole of the 'Liberator' section was closed which reduced the choice of pitches by about 65!! Then to our dismay, halfway through our stay we were told that all the bins were being removed and we would have to take our rubbish to the central point in the car park. When I complained about this I was told in no uncertain terms that this was to 'Save the planet' and some £60,000 spent each year by the club on plastic bags!!! So all that's actually changed is that we, the customer now have to supply our own bin liner in order to transport our rubbish to the central bin area and the staff have less work to do emptying the bins. Now that the site have also changed to smaller 'wheelie' type bins surely these could be distributed around the site to replace the old dustbins ?? Finally, Dogs, it seems that the wardens turn a blind eye to dogs running loose on the site !!!!

lovely site, near to where we wanted to go

New Forest Centenary Club Campsite
the campsite is very quiet, clean and tidy, the only problems were Pitch type _ Hardstanding with awning 1. trying to put up awning/wind breaks, the ground was very hard even with power drill we could only get pegs in about half way its lucky it was a dry and not too windy a week, some people just gave up and did not bother putting up their awnings. 2. Although I can see the benefit of only have a central refuse area, unfortunately it was at one end and people from the far end might have found it easier to have a second area. If we go again would need to book a grass pitch if want to put up awning.
