Visited this site many times in past thirty years but this is the first time we have visited mid summer. We have to say we prefer visiting in the spring and autumn as there is a much wider choice of pitches and you don't feel so crammed in. I have to say though, although nearly full or full on most days, whilst we were there for the two weeks, it was surprisingly quiet on site apart from the rather annoying morning mowing of grass as soon as a nearby pitch became vacant. Just a nuisance when you have just put the washing on line or sitting out to relax- I know it has to be done but it sometimes seemed a bit obsessive. The wardens are super efficient and the toilet block kept immaculate. You can walk into Brockenhurst across the Heath and enjoy good pub food at The Snake Catcher, fabulous cakes at the bakery in the High Street or a very good lunch or coffee at The Terrace as well as many other great eateries . Further afield we love a trip into Lymington on a Saturday and to visit the market. There are plenty of walks and cycle rides from the site and on a Wednesday we enjoy freshly cooked fish and chips at the site, though get there when the Brown's van arrives at 6pm if you don't like to queue. All in all a great site for a mix of coast and countryside. We will return in the autumn and we now see the site is open until January.
