Don't change too much

By far our most favourite site ok it's not the most modern but what it lacks in quality it more than makes up in the location of the site. The shower block does need a bit of TLC but don't change too much because it's lovely to be able shit shower and shave in one room.

First Time at Black Knowl

Judging by the other caravanners this is a site for cyclists and for them I would say it is perfect. There seems to be lots of flat forest around to cycle on. The toilet blocks are old and, I would say, long overdue for renewal but they were always clean. Very peaceful even with the surprising number of pitches that were there.  We took the only two children who were there I reckon and there wasn't a playground.  No wifi of course but I used 3G on Three fine.

Needs updating

Lovely position, but seriously needs updating, so little hard standing. Grass pitches unlevel & muddy. Toilet block requires a big renovation, not nearly enough facilities for the number of pitches. Will not be returning until site is updated more like a Camping & Caravan site. Not worth the money they charge for mid September.

Time Standing Still !!!

We have stayed at this site for a number of years. Time as come to update the shower block. Also after a very long journey there is no place to wait with your caravan, Pull in at the top of the road before the drive down to the site as now been shortened with blocks to enter, therefore like us with a long caravan its made our visit very difficult. A late arrival area would be very much appreciated.

We come back every year!

A wonderful location, a wonderful site. Walking and cycling that you'll never get bored with. We simply come back at a different part of the year and the forest looks and smells completely different. Wardens really helpful, advising us on the New Forest Marathon start times and road closures, didn't distrupt our Sunday too much, just needed to leave an hour earlier than planned. Love the toilet block, so individual.

We love Black Knowl

Fantastic site right in the middle of the forest. Clean, tidy and cared for by very friendly wardens. Choice of grass or hard standing pitches (nice size too). Yes, the toilet block is old but it was always clean so no moans from us. Small shop, information room, under-cover washing up area and all the usual CC facilities. 30-40 minute stroll into Brockenhurst (each way) where you'll find all you need from supermarkets, pubs and restaurants (Dynasty Indian was ace!). 4 mile (each way) walk to Lyndhurst (also through the forest) with all you need there too (busier than Brockenhurst). Numerous other walking and biking routes straight from the site. We had perfect weather during our time there, which always helps! We try and stay here every 2 years so roll on 2017!

Back in the saddle

After selling our caravan and leaving the club three years ago we found we missed caravanning so much we decided to start again, and as we had been to Black Knowl before and liked it we chose this site for our first trip, it was just as good as we remembered it, we like the toilet block with all the separate toilets/showers etc. and although a bit tired they are clean and functional so no complaints, the site is well laid out and the wardens helpful and friendly, and the dog made full use or the Ober water stream in the adjacent woods, so glad to be back in the saddle again.

New Forest Hideaway!

Just spent another 2 night midweek break here. Always a warm welcome from friendly helpful wardens. Always a joy to spend time here. Excellent position for walking, cycling or just relaxing down by the Ober Water river close by.   Yes the facilities need modernising. But they are kept spotlessly clean AND, I saw a notice that said the site is now OWNED by the CC so plans are in place to update it.   Family friendly.... ? Well the place is perfectly placed for children to experience the Forest which is the best of playgrounds and our 4yo Granddaughter loves it. But, for those seeking only peace and tranquility, I can understand their frustration. No play area on the site and yes the children like to ride their bikes and scooters, but they are all so good at jumping off to the side as soon as a car comes along. And usually they respect the invisible boundaries... But they are children and forget? I have found on rare occasion at other sites they will always respond well to a polite request and a smile! So maybe this is one of those sites that one needs to consider how popular it might be in the school holidays and weekends? We will be back!
