I probably shouldn't be on here singing Danebury's praises as it will only cause more people to turn up to this little gem, so shhhhh! this is just between you and me OK? Set at southern end of the beautiful New Forest national park, Danebury is a lovely site, well looked after and very well organised by Mike and Sue. We are a big double-axle unit but had no problem negotiating the gateway on arrival (though keep your eyes open on approach, the signs are small and with the bushes full-grown in the summer we managed to just overshoot the entrance) and found our welcome letter pinned to the gate with all the information we would ever need about the site and surrounding area, very organised! The site can be booked up so during those times you are allocated a pitch but to be honest there are no bad places to be at Danebury. Two solid gates ensure security and each pitch is serviced with electric and water (husband was most put out he'd forgotten the water hose thingy and still had to pull barrels, we'll know for next time!), and decorated with beautiful flower baskets. The toilet emptying facilities are clean and user-friendly, and recycling is also available. The grass is beautifully mown and the site itself is pretty flat, and very quiet at night with little to no road noise. You may still be woken by the local owl though but who minds that? Once dark Danebury also has very little light pollution so we did a lot of stargazing as in August the Perseids meteor shower is happening and we saw some great shooting stars laid out on the loungers in blankets with beers. On the Saturday night we did hear a little party noise from the local social club (whoever you were, your rendition of Auld Lang Syne was truly epic!) but all was completely quiet by 11pm, and there was no noise at all any other night of the week. The Husband is a keen mountain biker so we kicked him out the door one day for a hefty 23 miler through the Forest and heathland (while we girls chilled out on Danbury's quiet lawn - we're not daft!) and he came back with a big smile on his face so I can be pretty sure it's a good spot for access to the Forest if serious biking is your thing. Our girls (8 and 5) were made very welcome by the owners and ran around pretty much barefoot for 6 days, we visited the Sea Life Centre in Bournemouth on a wet day, cycled different trails through the Forest, paddled in streams, ate excellent Fish and chips from The Rainbow takeaway, visited the New Forest Wildlife Park (be prepared to want to kidnap an otter and take it home with you!), there were ponies in the middle of roads, longhorns grazing on the verges and sheep nibbling bushes wherever you looked, excellent pubs and food, and it was all just delightfully 'foresty'! Be prepared for serious house-envy as well. We've been to the area before and we've still left with a long list of things undone such that we've already booked again for next year. Thank you Mike and Sue, we'll be back!
