We have stayed on this New Forest CL several times over the years and enjoyed it every time. More recently electrical points have been installed and the site has been widened which has made it even better and as a result more popular. The site is very spacious for 5 outfits. It has an open aspect to the South so has plenty of sun when it shines and a view of the horses in the adjoining field. The site has well established trees and bushes which provide good screening from the local road that has little traffic other than the ponies, donkeys and cattle that wander up and down it. The site is very natural, rural and quiet and wildlife abounds. There are attractive and peaceful walks and cycle rides to be had in all directions and most can include a country pub with food. Less than a mile away there is a farm shop that stocks most supplies including newspapers. 3 or 4 miles further afield is Ringwood which has a Waitrose and plenty of other shops and eateries. With a car there is the whole of the New Forest and the Solent to explore and plenty beyond that so you are never short of things to do. The site has little or no terrestrial TV reception and no Wi-Fi which will be a disadvantage for some but you can get through on a mobile phone. The ground holds awning pegs well and isn't stony. After heavy rain surface water forms under the awning groundsheet but it drains away eventually. It is not a boggy site and there is a gravel track from the entrance that takes most of the wear and tear. The site is well looked after by the owner who keeps the grass short. The entrance is a standard size metal farm gate with metal gate posts and a CL sign on it. It is set back from the road so you don't see it until you are on top of it. Furzehill Farm is in the quieter NW part of the New Forest and is easily accessed from the A338 Salisbury to Ringwood Road.
