Ocknell & Longbeech

Basic but a good base. No showers or anything more than a reception hut, no shop on site & not within walking distance of any major attractions, but if you just want to hang out in the New Forest it's great. Really quiet at night, good family atmosphere. Has lots of hardstanding (used to be aeroplane field) so can be hard to find a decent sized pitch on busy Bank Holiday weekend!!

If possible pay the £3 early arrival supplement to arrive before noon and get a better pitch (found this out after we arrived). Take bikes as there are loads of easy flat roads around the campsite ideal for getting out without car, though into main towns of New Forest would almost certainly require car.
