Absolutely immaculate site, friendly pleasant staff on arrival we were advised that no gravel pitches as being available but were allowed to choose a grass pitch and report back.
Although a very large site Caravan Club have been very clever to divide this up into areas which give appearance of smaller less impersonal site.
Facilities were absolutely immaculate and beyond expectations, we never had to wait for use of any washroom facilities.
One area that was not so good was the laundry facilities, being a large site with only one washing machine and one dryer per facilities block was not really sufficient to service the demand. In addition the instruction regarding functionality of the washing machine would have been an advantage. I also think that £3 is quite expensive for a wash the machines were very large but I cant imagine that any one would fill them. Drying facilities were also equally hit and miss with no indication of temperature control. One drying cycle cost £0. 70p our less than half load wash took three cycles to dry.
Change machines would be a good idea in the laundry rooms too instead of chasing around to local garage 6 miles away.
The grass pitch that we had chosen was subjected to very large amount of rain and appeared to cope quite well until the day we left when it was flooded by at least three inches of water.
The site has wifi which appeared to go a bit loopy every night around 9pm leaving you not knowing if you had signed in or out, I complained at reception and also met two other bemused wifi users. Reception advised that the wifi was subcontracted and nothing actually to do with caravan club directly. I did log a call with the company responsible and haven’t heard anything to date. My five hour card is down and unexplained than 30 mins and would have appreciated an reason at to why.
Summing up this is an excellent site with high standards.

We liked the way that the site has been divided into three fields, it is a big site. However , we drove around three times and had to go into the reception to get help as the Mustang field had evaded us as we had stuck to the one way system and the entrance to this field is on the way to the site exit! Also there are no pitch numbers on the site plan.
Also avoid the pitches on Liberator field top corner as they back onto the road where there is a cattle grid and although there is little traffic the noise is horrendous.
Recycling only available near the exit, which we felt would put people off taking it up there.
I would agree that there is an element of being in the middle of the beautiful New Forest but being on a bog standard CC site.

Great site, very clean and well laid out somewhat very regimented.
Great location and pretty quiet as long you pitch away from the play area, which is opne of the best and safest around. In the fact the site is very safe for young children with car drivers keeping to 1st gear all the way around the site.
As the flagship site I suspect the Warder(s)were a bit pedantic, and lacking in some customer service skills. They keep the site very nice and clean but 2 of them were a bit, over zealous.
One female warder told kids on push bikes to keep to the speed limit of 5mph ( er hello, bike don't have speedos and the kids told her ).
One caravan unit had pitched 3'off the peg and had to move even though the caravan, awning and the car were all on the hard standing. The female warder had watched them pitch up in the first place.
My wife was repeatedly told( not asked or suggested but told to lift the breathable ground sheet, the warder even turned up with photo;s to show why. Twice on the same day. And it was the same female warder.
My youngest boy (5 yrs) was brought back by a warder from the play ground ( he was with his older sister at the time) and we were told that he is NOT ALLOWeD to ride his little bike after 8. 0pm and then commented that he was a bit of a handful. Hello, its not your place to comment on my child, you don't know what his back ground is. One guy was cycling to his caravan when the same lady warder told him to follow the one way system.
In Reception one of the women booking in had a very strange manner, she treated everyone as idiots and simpletons. Including my wife. How patronising can you get. Different warder though.
Remember the warder that 'told' yes told us to take up our ground sheet, well she came back 4 times over the 2 weeks to check that we had.
The caravan club needs to train people in customer care. They are not there for a cheap holiday or to supplement their retirement income. They are not 'doing the rest of us a favour'.
I would go back to the site simply because of its location but you did feel as though you were being watched and appraised all the time by the warders, a sentiment echoed by a number of other members we spoke to at the time.
I know rules are rules etc but sometimes the warders go a little too far And its is warders as it felt like a prison camp- or a throw back to Butlins of 1955-- 'you will enjoy yoursleves but your will enjoy yourselves our way' and children seemed once again to be a bit of an inconvenience to some members of staff. And I'm sorry guys but the average age of the CC member is falling, we are not all retired with kids that have left home.
On the whole though its a great site.

This was the first time we had stayed on such a large site, but having our grandchildren, 6 and 8, with us we thought we would try it out this year. Don't think they will come with us again unless we promise it will be like Bransgore! It was early school holidays and it was CRAWLING with children - and dogs. Our grandchildren were a bit shy at first but then quickly got the hang of making friends, identified a little group they were happy with and had enormous pleasure riding their bikes around the large camp area and playing in the playground or on the designated field. I was thrilled that they could do this without anyone at all moaning about it or imposing all sorts of intrusive rules. Yes, they all rode their bikes the wrong way round the system but no one minded and drove accordingly carefully. It was very refreshing! Will definitely look for a similar site next summer, wondering about the Caravan Club site in Dumfies and Galloway. We had only one reservation - we thought that surrounded by the pasture of the New Forest it would be great to be able to see out over it rather than have a big hedge in the way.

This was our first stay on this immaculate CC site. And it won't be our last.
Large open site, set in various small sections. 2 spotlessly clean toilet/shower blocks. Shop/reception with basic essentials for sale. Daily newspapers can be pre-ordered for collection.
Childrens playground and playfield right next to dog walking area.
Nothing within easy walking distance (not for an old dog anyway!) but biking straight from the site into the forest is excellent.
All in all a quiet site (apart from the flight path!) and extremely well looked after as you would expect from the Caravan Club.

As you would expect of The Caravan Club this is a very clean and tidy site. The toilets and shower blocks are absolutely immaculate and the site is very well kept.
There is one of the best playgrounds I have seen for kids as well as a separate playing field and dog walk area.
Something that is not mentioned is that the site has incredibly hard ground, so when pitching an awning, you must use rock pegs. I personally bent 2 rock pegs trying to get them into the ground.
The downsides for me personally:-
*Some dog walkers did not see fit to clear up after their dogs
*Due to the size of the site it had a bit of an impersonal feel and lacked some of the normal friendliness.
*Some very nosey individuals who spoilt our enjoyment on the site by making a nuisance of themselves.
I personally would not rush back to this site for the reasons above, however, this is only a personal opinion. Do not let my views detract from the fact that this is a very nice site in a superb location. It just did not personally appeal to me.

What a lovely site. Very well laid out, clean and friendly. The toilet blocks were extremely well planned and the cleaning process is done so that at least one side of the toilet block is open at all times.
There is a little shop at reception with a few essentials as well as some lovely cakes and small toys.
There is a play field suitable for ball games and a small park area too.
The site is situated right within the cycle tracks of the New Forest with horses wandering freely within a few yards of the entrance. Also well situated for Poole and other lovely tourist spots. Would highly recommend and would visit again.

Just returned from this site. The site itself is in a great location and conveniently placed for access to the New Forest, coast or towns and could not be faulted for this.
The site's shop had the basics with a mobile fish and chip shop once a week (which we never tried but seemed very busy).
The site has level pitches, very clean showers/Toilets etc, very good play area (although was aimed for children over 5), games pitch, which included two goals for football and large dog walk all located in the same area.
Overall, a lovely, well run site in an excellent location and we will certainly return to this site again.

We have now visited this site 3 times and are very impressed. A site we can be proud to visit.
The staff are always so helpful. Maintaining of the large toilets / shower blocks is superb. One of the toilets blocks has extra parts that are opened during busy periods.The area is great for walking / cycling or chilling out. Lots of pubs noy too far away but you will need to drive. Local shops about 5 minutes drive away useful including fish and chip shop. This site should be the one to which others are judged against!
