Excellent site

Our first time back caravanning after an 8 year break. We chose BK as the first time to try out the new van. We arrived just after 1pm and was in a convoy of 6 motorhomes / caravans. It’s quite a windy pot holed road on the way in. Once into the site, we’re were asked to wait in our car and within a few mins, a warden came up to us, asked to see the membership cards, handed us the site map and showed us through the barrier. Plenty of free pitches but we still managed to end up in a dead-end that we have to reverse out of. Eventually settled on pitch 9, a large pitch around the edge of the site. Facilities were excellent as is the location. You are literally a few hundred yards from the open forest where you can walk freely with dogs. I’ve seen a few comments about wardens…we found them excellent in every interaction we had with them. We had such a great time, we’ve already brooked to return next May.

amazing

An Autumn stay on this site was simply amazing, the autumnal colours of the New Forest never disappoint, and nor did the site, the wardens worked really hard in the awful weather to keep the site open as the roads were very flooded, cant wait to get back over New Years,

One of the best sites we have used.

Stayed for 4 nights. Weather wasn't great, lots of rain, so wellies required but who cares. Fabulous site, the best facilities we have seen in years. Wonderful location right in the middle of the New Forest national park. Great for the dog with fantastic walks on the doorstep. Walked into Brockenhurst for lunch. Scenery is just beautiful and to see the ponies so close is a bonus.

5 Stars!

Visited for 2 nights in the Autumn and had a lovely time. The site is beautifully maintained - all the facilities are clean, and all the grounds well-tended. Thought the herb garden was a lovely touch too. Location-wise, you're right in the forest so you can just walk out the front gate and have an adventure.

Fantastic Week at Black Knowl

This was our first visit to Black Knowl & from the moment we arrived we knew we’d made the right choice. The Wardens were all very helpful & friendly, the facilities were spotless especially when most pitches were taken. We spent our week cycling, sightseeing & walking. We were blessed with amazing weather for October which was an added bonus. We use the app ‘Cycle Experience’ which gives you some great routes mainly from Brockenhurst, the site being an extra 2 miles away! Cycling to the Coast from Brockenhurst was excellent combined with forest & Country roads. Both Brownsea Island for the Red Squirrels & Studland Point for Old Harry’s Rocks are well worth days out too! The location of the site is perfect & you are in the heart of the forest within moments. So much Wildlife seen whilst we were there & coming back to such a lovely peaceful site in the evenings made it extra special. We visited some lovely pubs in Brockenhurst & on our last night we had Browns Fish & Chips (they visit the site on Wednesday’s) which were very nice. Such a brilliant site, can’t wait to return next year 🥰

Great location

Great location, surrounded by the New Forest and its many foot/cycle trails. The site was full but it was impressively quiet and the facilities were clean. Our walk back from Brockenhurst in the evening along a gravel track, is most memorable, it took about 45 mins but we did keep stopping to enjoy the stars.

Dog walking heaven

Lovely peaceful site with direct access to a multitude of walks/trails in the New Forest & walking distance to Brockenhurst where there are dog friendly cafes & pubs There’s a bike/dog wash station which is useful if it’s a bit muddy and an information hut near the entrance You can hire bikes at the site and local suppliers provide burgers/pizza etc in the evenings which are high quality (signs display who, what & when outside Reception) Site management are very friendly & welcoming - the toilet/shower block is spotless with lovely hot showers I regularly use this site and have never had a bad experience - due to its location in the forest, if you get a clear night, you can enjoy star gazing Highly recommend this site it’s an absolute gem

Fantastic Site - our favourite

We have stayed at Black Knowl many times over the past five years and always return, as it really is our favourite site in the New Forest. Fantastic location for cycling, running and walking. Peaceful site right in the forest. Easy access through small forestry road, no problems at all getting a motorhome or caravan to the site. The wardens are always friendly and keep the site immaculate. Great cyclist cafe at Woods Cyclery in Lyndhurst, they run guided gravel bike rides every Sunday. Great for Brockenhurst Parkrun every Saturday. Everything you need for a great New Forest break.
