Hawkhill Mill CL

We stayed here in August 2012. The CL is situated in lovely quiet country-side 4 miles west of Fordingbridge. There are some lovely walks straight from the CL into woods and fields. We saw deer on our walks and heard owls each night. Close to the New Forest for walking, but this seems a much quieter area. Also very dark skies, so after dark, if it is clear, leave your van, get out your sun-lounger, and lie back and enjoy the stars. Another reviewer mentioned the Roman Villa. Don't bother with this unless you are into that sort of thing. A couple of small part mosaics on view, pathways where the walls used to be and a small museum. The facilities on the CL are very clean but basic. The shower is good unless someone else uses a tap, in which case it gets very hot ... and then freezing cold :( . The owner seemed friendly. You also are given upon arrival a bottle of special chemicals for the Loo (Standard chemicals are not allowed). They did not seem to do much as our toilet started to smell rather by the end of our 5 night stay. There is also another field 100m away that is used for caravans and camping which seemed to have 5-10 units in while we stayed, but this did not detract from the site. While we stayed here, there were six units on the CL for two nights and when others had visitors for BBQ's e.t.c. at the same time it did start to feel a little too busy. For those who like to watch the TV, (we have an status omni aerial) BBC channels can be picked up fine but other channels tended to break up sometimes. To find the CL my advice is to head to Fordingbridge and then follow signs to Sandelheath. The directions given will then take you to the site. These roads do become increasingly narrow but there are passing places. If we head this way again we will consider returning.
