We're thinking of going to the New Forest for the last bank holiday weekend in May. There is myself, my husband and our 3 year old son taking our tent. Forest Holidays have 3 sites that I like the look of, Holmsley, Ashurst and Hollands Wood. I've looked at the reviews on this site and they all look positive. I was wondering out of the three would be best for my family. If you could offer any advice, i'd appreciate it.
Many thanks in advance.

I've stayed in Hollands Wood and loved it. We were camping and I seem to remember one of the other 2 sites you mentioned doesn't have toilets, which ruled it out for us.
It is a very big site and as we stayed at the end of August it was very busy with people pitching right next to each other. However the location is fantastic, you can walk or bike straight into the forest. There are wild ponies wondering through the campsite. A huge big field by one side of the campsite where the kids all ran off to to meet up and play. Toilets/showers were clean and you could get fresh bread at the shop every day. It is close to a fairly busy road and if you camped at that side of the site then you'd be able to hear the road noise, but on an upside its not as crowded that side.
stayed at hollands wood a few times now great site always managed to pitch away from the road sotraffic noise is not a problem. short walk into brockenhurst for pubs and shops etc all in all a brilliant site enjoy

Smiilar question from me except my favourite so far is Roundhills. I'm just a bit concerned about the size of it - 500 units sounds huge. My other concern is the ponies. Sound lovely but would they be a danger to small children. We're caravanning with my nephews aged 3 and nearly 2.
the website is also pretty unclear re whether electric hook-ups are available. can anyone confirm?
