A site set in the heart of the forest ,but within walking distance of Brockenhurst , there are speed bumps on the access road but proposes no problems if driven at the correct speed , lots of walking and cycling to do in the area
A Top Out of Season Site
We like this site out of season when the grass pitches, neighbouring Aldridge Hill site and Ober Corner car park are out of use. We don't drive off-pitch and find there is plenty to do for at least 4 days (5 nights) with excellent local walking and cycling. Good footwear is required as it can be wet under foot. We enjoy walking into Brockenhurst and Lyndhurst for a coffee or the shops. We haven't used the public transport but there are busses and trains from Brockenhurst to Lymington which is a lovely town. It can also be reached by bike. There are rail links elsewhere. It is a wonderfully quiet site out of season with interesting wildlife and attractive woodland. For those who arrive early there are excellent local car parks to wait, including Beechern Wood carpark which is on the way in.
Top Forest site
Stayed here for the October half term break and had a brilliant stay. Managed to see Highland cattle, Horses, Donkeys, Pigs and also saw the Deer rut one of the evenings. Great site with great facilities and brilliant staff.
Don’t be put off by the vehicle width signs when you turn of the main road, it’s not a problem as the road is easily wide enough for caravans and motorhomes.
Well worth a visit.

Fantastic Site - our favourite
I can't rate this site highly enough; we have stayed several times. The access road is long and on a forest road, but we did not have a problem entering or leaving with our caravan, towed by a campervan. The site a located right in the forest with fabulous cycling and walking. There is an easy half hour walk across the common into Brockenhurst. The site is busy as it is so popular, but pitches are well spaced, and we have never had to wait to use the showers. The wardens are really friendly and were so helpful when we had a problem with our caravan jockey wheel. We have already booked again for spring 2023 and are very happy to recommend Black Knowl.
Difficult narrow roads with low trees and dangerous verges, did not want to risk damage - Cancelled
Difficult narrow roads with low trees and dangerous verges for passing, We did not want to risk damage to our vehicles -
Went to have a look before moving sites .. Cancelled a week before and lost £65 !
Fantastic Site
You couldn't ask for a better location. Lovely site. Wardens are fantastic, very helpful and friendly. Ready to go back and we've only just left!
A fabulous site
This was our first visit to Black Knowl and it exceeded our expectations. The site is well maintained and the facilities block is spotlessly clean. The site staff are friendly and helpful regarding local information and walks as well as providing plenty of leaflets in the information room. There is also a small shop at reception and a variety of maps of the area (we recommend the cycle map which shows the numbers of the marker posts). We've already booked to return next year as there is so much walking from the site.

Fabulous!
We have just spent our first holiday at this amazing site. The staff are friendly, the shower blocks spotless, the location faultless. We have already booked for next year! It is particularly good for people who enjoy walking and cycling and is ideal for those with dogs.
Our Favourite New Forest Site
We stayed over the August bank holiday, lovely welcome on arrival and the site as always was clean and spotless, we had our dog and one of the best advantages of staying on this site is you do not have to negotiate a road when heading out for a walk or cycle, you literally are right in the forest once you head out of the gate, the Foresters Arms in Brockenhurst is highly recommended we have eaten there both times we have stayed and the food has never disappointed us, the bike hire is a great idea however, please remember to bring your helmets if this is something you wish to do, typically we forgot ours, there are both electric and non electric bikes to hire, we didn't use the car once over our 3 night stay, quite simply this is the most amazing, relaxing site and we have already booked again for next year
Best site in the New Forrest
We arrived in a down pour, staff were efficient, in booking us in, found our serviced pitch and waited out the storm. Pitch was large and flat.
Although site was full. There were kids on bikes, scooters ect. but we did not find this a problem. It was quiet at night.
We have been to Centenary park and Hunters moon but believe Black Knowle is the better of the three.
We will certainly visit again in the autumn.
