Sorry don't know the site, But here is the link     can anyone recognise it.

Also could do with Mr Tumble on here with packing techniques......  well impressed

The site is Hollands Wood at Brockenhurst one of the Forestry Commission sites. Gets very busy in high season and bank holiday weekends although management do have a sensible restriction on numbers. Two toilet blocks reasonably clean. Access straight off the site into the forest or large open grassy plain.Brockenhurst pleasant village with large Tesco Express. Supermarkets at Lymington 5 or 6 miles away.

The New Forest Dist. Council are however trying to close the site down because it is in an area of ancient woodland and they don't want too many people enjoying themselves at the same time!!! Needless to say there is a lot of opposition particularly from the shopkeeepers in Brock.

Cbeebies ought to know better than encourage kids to play with the ponies.If people try to feed them then they can get bad tempered when people don't and I have seen one play havoc with a tent. On the whole though they are fine if left alone. 

Watched the programme last night (yes I am 40+ and have no kids).

Very good to see a nice and inocent programme aimed at, and featuring, kids with learning disabilities. And what better subject to feature than tent camping? Nice one aunty beeb

Although Mr Tumble needs to spend more than a fiver on his next camp chair I think

Worth eighteen minutes of your time. The campsite looks nice.

To increase viewing figures I’ll mention that you get to see hot Tilley Stove action and what looks like a Bear Lake (with extension)
