We came back from the New Forest about 2 weeks ago.

We drove around and we preferred out of all the Forestry Commission sites the site called Roundhill.  It a bit more off the beaten track than the others.  I would advise to avoid Hollands Wood as it's right next to a busy road going into Brockenhurst.

Brockenhurst is a lovely village/town is you need to visit shops and things. 

We stayed at Black Knowl CC site and it was set well within the forest with no near roads.  As soon as you step out of the campsite entrance there are various paths to take and horses right by the gate.  Site very peaceful but as with any CC site - quite regimented once you get inside with pitching and stuff.  So if you are after a more relaxed pitch where you want sort of sites the Forestry Commission sites may well be for you.

Have just returned from Hollands Wood... as previously said, by busy road. Might be better in late season but personally, wont be visiting myself. A small site that caught my eye was called the Red Shoot camping & caravanning site. In the forest on the way to Linwood. Right next to a great pub [the red shoot inn] and no busy road noise!
