Why stay here ...
Once the royal hunting forest of William the Conqueror and now a beautiful National Park, Black Knowl Club Campsite has an open, peaceful aspect while being conveniently located within walking distance of Brockenhurst. The Hampshire caravan site is in a wonderful setting in the forest and in October at night, stags can be heard roaring in the forest, along with owls and other forest creatures. The town offers plenty of good quality restaurants, places of interest and shopping treats to keep everyone in the family happy on their holiday.
Black Knowl Club Campsite opens onto over 140 miles of lovely walking track for you to explore in the Forest whether on foot, cycle or horseback. For those with an interest in local history, The Lyndhurst Museum and Visitors' Centre will shed more than enough light on the rich and fascinating past of the Forest. Other nearby attractions include The National Motor Museum at Beaulieu, Exbury Gardens and The New Forest Reptile Centre. For those who dream of taking to the open sea, cruise ships can be viewed on the nearby Solent. You can reach the Isle of Wight via Lymington Ferry and visit Lepe Country Park by the sea with a cafe (seasonal and weekend openings) and children's play area and BBQ area for hire. If you fancy some retail therapy, the Southampton and Bournemouth shopping centres are within easy driving distance from the caravan park and will leave you spoilt for choice.
If you are fancying a take away, Brockenhurst has a great choice. Details of all restaurants, take aways and days out are available in our Information Room.

Great place to stay
Black Knowl Club Campsite
First time we have stayed at this site. It was spotless. Toilet block was great and modern. Site pitches were well spaced out.
The map for directions to the site on the website is not the best of drawings so best looked up on Google streetview. Easy road to drive down with no issues. Great place to stay.
Can’t wait to return in September
Black Knowl Club Campsite
My new dog Megan and I were made very welcome by Peter and Jenny and of course their lovely dog Spud .
It was a refreshing change to see in no mow May the grass was not constantly mowed all the time and when it was to a decent length that allowed the buttercups and daisies soon flower again .
This is the New Forest an area of outstanding beauty and richly deserves such consideration.
Well done Peter for having courage to do it .I for one welcomed it and I know I wasn’t the only one .
Just think how much fuel and expense this must have saved the club
I and Megan can’t wait to come back in September

Very Disappointing
Black Knowl Club Campsite
We have stayed at Black Knowl many times and have always enjoyed our time there but unfortunately this visit was very different. The facilities as usual were spotless and the wardens were friendly and helpful but the actual site was very disappointing.
The hard standing pitches all have plenty of room but as there were none available we had to go on grass. The grass on the outer edge was very long so we decided to find a pitch in the middle which was a big mistake.
We eventually found one which was crammed between two other pitches where the people had decided to extend all their belongings out on either side, blow up sofas and chairs, etc! This was not an isolated case, as we looked around we could see similar things wherever we looked. There seemed to be no identifiable layout and people were just setting their stuff out anywhere they pleased. It felt disorganised, crammed and noisy which was not what we wanted.
We might have stayed and searched for a hard standing the next morning as had been suggested, but after we had paid for a week we were told there was no hot water and they did not know when it would be back! This was the final straw so we obtained a refund and went to stay on the Centenary site which was everything we had expected.
The club needs to recognise that caravans and cars have got much bigger and think seriously about having fewer grass pitches which are clearly marked. Black Knowl is much more expensive now and it is just not worth it.
Needless to say, we shall not booking there again unless there are positive changes.
Five ticks as usual
Black Knowl Club CampsiteYet again a great stay on this site. The new wardens (managers) do a fantastic job . As always who could ask for more lovely location. Be warned though it is starting to get expensive to stay here.Will be back in the autumn when prices reduce.
Wonderful, relaxing visit
Black Knowl Club Campsite
Another great stay at Black Knowl. In an excellent location, walk straight into the forest from the site entrance, the walk into Brockenhurst is very pleasant and easily accessible. Staff were helpful and friendly and grounds were maintaned to a very high standard. Toilet block was immaculate. All the pitches are spacious. Lots to see and do in the area.
