We booked Back of Beyond so we could visit some of the New Forest. When we arrived, we were greeted warmly and shown our pitch which was ample space for our van. The amenities were clean and within an easy walk of our pitch. We settled in for the night and the site was quiet at night. Next day, we decided to go for a cycle ride in the New Forest. We cycled around Hurn Woods, lovely tracks but not the New Forest. In fact the New Forest isn't in cycling distance for your average cyclist. We were disappointed and had to take our motorbike to see the ponies and park. So if you are looking for a site that is easy cycling distance of the New Forest National Park, this isn't for you. But if you are looking for a clean, quiet site with a bar and some woods nearby then this is a nice place to stay. We left early and stayed the last night in the New Forest.

Thank you for your review. We are so pleased you had a lovely stay and enjoyed the facilities. We are not in the New Forest. We are in Dorset and the New Forest is Hampshire, but it is a 45 minute cycle along the Castleman cycle path or a 10 minute car journey. However we have fantastic cycle paths, woodlands and country parks all in a short cycle from the park.Do come again.

Excellent, well run site. First class facilities, very well maintained. A good shop, a variety of visiting mobile catering vans and a friendly bar with good beer. What more could anyone possibly want?

Excellent location, truly peaceful and with a lovely bar area to socialise if you want to. Friendly staff and a very useful shop with quality products, and the visiting food suppliers were fabulous! Our dog loved the walk in the woods! We will definitely stay again.

Great adults only site. Nice and peaceful, very good for dogs, and plenty of room to manoeuvre your caravan onto pitch. Really nice staff, they meet you at gate and explain where your pitch is etc. The showers were spotless and the bar and shop are well stocked, plus there's a different food van each night. What more do you want!?

Fabulous site - the layout and location is superb - I'd give it 6 stars!! The toilet and shower facilities are beyond superb - nicer than my house! We took our VW T6 and booked hard standing which was excellent - pitches are a generous size. Would def stay there again - multiple times!
Site's response
Wow, 6 stars thank you so much! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you at the park again soon.

Lovely adult only site. It was so quiet, only the birds chirping broke the silence. The staff were very welcoming when booking in. There is a lovely bar area, where you can also have your hit of food from the various food vans that visit the site. The pitch we had was large and had its own picnic table which was a really nice touch. The facilities were all super clean. We went with our daughter and son in law and they stayed in the wild camping tent area, again this was a lovely place, they were set up looking over to the horses and by a stream. We will definitely go back and would most certainly recommend it to people that want a vacation that is quiet, stress free, really polite and helpful staff, super clean and well maintained facilities.

Perfect site, everything you need with bit of luxury - the shower facilities were gorgeous. Was great having the food vans visit, a real plus saving on cooking and a social bar. I'd feel comfortable staying here on my own! Location was ideal for cycling in the New Forest, trip on the little ferry at Keyhaven to Hurst Castle, Swanage coastal walk. One suggestion for this site (and indeed other sites) would be a secure cycle store, don't usually see these but would be useful. Otherwise, a perfect site! Thank you.

We loved our stay at this campsite. The pitch was large with AstroTurf under the tent (no muddy groundsheet). Nice outdoor bar area with heaters. Toilet facilities were excellent and clean. Lovely dog walk in Ashleigh Heath.

Back of Beyond is a first rate adults only site well situated for the New Forest and the South Coast. It is incredibly peaceful and quiet. The facilities are modern and spotless. Our pitch was AstroTurf which made pegging out the awning really easy. There is a shop and a bar - both well stocked and all of the staff are friendly and helpful. The various food vans visiting the site were great too. Thank you for a wonderful break - we will be back.

Thank you for your ' 6 star' rating Chrissie, we will look forward to you visiting the park again.

We have stayed at quite a lot of campsites since we bought our motorhome several years ago, and we had our favourite site until we stayed here! Everything was spotless, the staff were extremely helpful, and it was so peaceful walking through the woods with our dog. We would recommend this site to anyone who is interested in a lovely area, with very helpful staff. Thank you all for a lovely 2 day break. Definitely will be returning.

Absolutely loved our stay at Back of Beyond. The site is immaculate, staff friendly and helpful. Shower blocks are up there with the best, real pleasure to use. We had a dog with us and he thoroughly enjoyed his numerous walks around the area. Would really recommend you try this site, we’ll certainly be going back.

Beautiful campsite, excellent pitches with wooden seating, and the bar in the evening was such a bonus! Would have been nice if it stayed open a bit later, the barman didn't seem too happy to be there. We had a lovely pizza on the Friday from the food wagon. Breakfast bap on Sunday morning wasn't the best quality, but saved on washing up. Perfect campsite for dog owners, we will definitely be back! The showers were amazing!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Natasha, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay! Monty's bar is only open for a few hours early evening as we are a Tranquil Park and we have to consider our other guests that do not wish to use the bar. During the busy summer weekends, we plan to extend the opening times by an hour. We hope to see you at BoB again soon!
