This is a site in an amazing location. The New Forest is a fantastic place to camp and the location of this site is brilliant as though close to the open common and woodland it is segregated from the animals by a cattle grid. Having camped on other (Forest Holiday) sites in the New Forest where this is not the case, I would come back here, as have had ponies run through windbreaks, steal food etc. and though picturesque it can be a little intimidating!
As others have said the toilet block does need updating but we found it to be scrupulously clean (we stayed mid-August). The issue seems to be more a need for more toilets and washing up facilities, as there was often a queue. It certainly isn't a reason to avoid this site.
I am incredulous that people have complained in reviews about the children riding bikes. They were playing and riding! Those there when we were there were not noisy and seemed to me to be doing what I expect children should be doing when camping - enjoying the outdoors and making new friends. Complainants might wish to only travel in term time.
We didn't see much of the wardens or experience any officious behaviour. Only helpful and efficient service. There are lots of dogs on site (who again all seemed to be really well-behaved with very little barking) but I can see why the leads-on rule is strictly enforced. I am a dog lover and enjoyed their presence but not everyone is.
The pitches are not huge or very private and I think those in the know who had visited before bought wind breaks but the location surely trumps all.
