Excellent Site for the New Forest and South Coast

This a great site from which to explore the New Forest and South Coast from the Southampton estuary to Bournemouth It is also a short drive to the national motor museum at Beaulieu. We love going to Avon Beach and the Noisy Lobster restaurant. Southbourne Beach is also good fun with the SoBo cafe complex. The Three Tuns does a great pint and good food. The site is excellent for families with a good playpark and the staff are very friendly.

Great Location

This is a lovely site. The pitches are well spaced so it doesn't feel crowded. We liked this site because it is easy to explore both the New Forest and the Hampshire Coast. Because it was raining, we tended to go to seaside towns. The walk from Keyhaven to Lymington is one of our favourites, particularly if you're a birdwatcher. Good pubs in Lymington for refreshment. Shingle beach at Highcliffe is worth a visit - or a sandy beach at Boscombe for a walk into Bournemouth. As ever, the staff are great!

Between the Sea and Forest

Now I never would use a site like this in August ,let alone a Bank Holiday weekend,but as family where in area,we did. Even though the site was full,it coped admirably,so credit to all the staff here.As my title,it is around 8 miles to Avon Beach and Mudeford Car Parks for beach goes,and same distance to Lyndhurst,with all New Forest on its doorstep. Pitches do vary in size,we had a lovely corner plot,but other pitches seemed tightly packed in.Woodland walks are doable,passed the Homsley Campsite. One point to say,if you pitch near the road,you hear the rumble of cars over a cattle grid,and a pop up campsite appeared on the field opposite the site,so it would be possible to hear noise on your pitch.Certainly it would not stop a return,I would just prefer non bank holiday weekends.

A lovely stay

We had booked 4 nights at the New Forest Centenary Club Campsite from the 9th October, and this was the 4th time we have stayed here at various times of the year, and as always it was a pleasure. We'd like to say a big thank you to the wardens who were friendly and very helpful. We needed to print a couple of documents for work while there and they were very accommodating. Then with strong winds on the morning of our departure, we asked if we could stay another night to, rather than tow our caravan home in high winds, and this was no problem - obviously this would have been different in high season, but it was most welcome in this instance. Thank you for a pleasurable 5 night stay.

Good site but poor wifi

We stayed here mid September and found it generally to our liking. The site is very well maintained and the staff are helpful and pleasant. As motorhomers, we hired a car for a few days from Enterprise which was a good idea for visiting New Forest towns etc. Major drawback however was pretty much non existent wifi and no phone signal with EE. The site advertises as having the new club wifi but it's not so. The only wifi is the hotspot at the site office but even there, the signal was so weak it took me 45 minutes to download a newspaper. The Premium Wifi may have been stronger but this involves a daily/weekly/monthly charge which is quite unjustified in today's world ( good quality wifi free of any charge on all Camping and Caravanning Club sites). Nearby Lyndhurst and Christchurch well worth visiting. Also for lovely beach, use carpark at Mudeford beach (suitable for motorhome parking) and esplanade/beach walks with range of eating places.

Best by far CAMC

This was our second visit to the New forest in a matter of weeks, but the first visit to this site. On arrival the team greeting us were lovely and so welcoming and friendly, 5* the location too was so easy to access and find. The pitches as other reviewers have said were spacious and spotless, well maintained. It was not over busy with a regualar change of visitors daily. We made this our base for both inland and coastal visits during our 5 night stay. Even a early moring trip and late return from the Isle of Wight was made possible simply because the site was so close to the south coast. As a family it had everything we needed, even a library of balls for the dog, was a lovely addition to our walks on site. A very quiet site, even the flight path to the local airport did not detract form our stay. To be honest this site for us was the best one we have booked since its location to the New forest, An area we absolutely adore and the ponies (257 spotted in two days!), made it extra special for a pony loving family. The coastal beaches too were perfect and felt very safe for a young family and to excercise a collie enough to wear him out was an additional bonus. We will no doubt be booking again New Forest Centenary Club Campsite next year and explore areas we didnt get chance to this time. Thank you so much CAMC team for the lovely stay!

Worked great for us

Stayed for three nights in August, site was immaculately clean and everyone was well behaved. The staff were warm and welcoming. It all went well for us so would certainly consider going again. Not so much to do for our 12 year old but we kind of knew that. The tourist bus stopping outside the site is worth a go as dodging the low branches was fun. It would have been nice to have a regular bus stop as the tourist bus is quite expensive but this is out of the sites control. It would have been good if it had a coffee shop and some background music in the toilet blocks but that is me being really picky. This was our first trip as a new member and overall we enjoyed the site and the welcoming staff. The chip van and the pizza made us a bit lazy but we’re both fine. We will be back.

Our stay in August 2023

We booked a stay here for 1 week but then stayed for 2 weeks. Nice spacious pitches. Quiet, tidy, clean site. Used this site as a base to stay while exploring the area. We found the staff to be friendly andhelpful. Only downside was no WIFI !

Our stay at new forest site

Myself and my wife decided to have our holiday this year at the new forest centenary site, it was the first time in the 2 years we’ve been members that we decided to stay at a club site, what a brilliant decision. The first impression was how lovely the drive in was and how tidy the site was, then we got to book in and meet the staff, what a wonderful, happy , friendly group of staff they were. They all looked so happy to be at work it was such a nice atmosphere. They helped us to choose our pitch, told us all about the food services, what day the cakes came in lol etc, it was such a pleasure. The site was pristine, nothing out of place it was lovely, it’s close by to the coast for days out, site seeing , walks in the forest , visiting local villages for food and drink. The whole stay was a delight, the only down side was the holiday had to end eventually. We can’t wait to visit again as we most certainly will do in the future, Can’t recommend the site highly enough

Recent Stay

Stayed here recently for one week. Nice site and the staff were helpful and friendly. Downside to the site is WiFi is weak, and the road that runs along the site is the old airfield is very busy!!! The cattle grid is loud so I would not recommend staying on the Liberator field as it is constantly rattling... Not the best location if you don't have a car. The grass situated along each pitch is left long for environment reasons, which is good, however you do get lots of wasps around you and the grass is course, found it hard to get a spot to relax in without being surrounded by wasps and flies.
