Our first visit to Black knowl since redevelopment. Probably one of the best C C sites and now with an excellent new toilet and amenities block. The new hard standings are all well prepared and large enough for caravan ,awning and large car. We had service pitch which was superb. In our opinion the site is best suited to couples and not families , there appears to be no on site kids area and the site can therefore become a playground with bikes being cycled around and around. Other members have mentioned a slight ‘anti dog’ feeling with which we agree , in fact this is not only limited to Black knowl , others we have visited this year have similar dogs not to be walked on site etc etc. We have never encountered any problem with dogs on site , many caravaners choose caravan holidays so that their companions can go along too. The wardens were fantastic offering a warm welcome and advice as we needed to purchase a new water pump as ours failed on arrival.thanks to our caravan neighbors who lent a pump whilst we obtained a new one the next day locally in Brockenhurst .where there is a useful ironmongers who also sell lots of caravan spares (opposite the Honda garage).
