"Nice caravan. Good for 6 people. Wash basin which serves the 2 bedrooms which accommodate 4 people could do with being larger. Otherwise very good. Chopping knives are very blunt. Otherwise very well equipped with cutlery and crockery"

"Our Oakdene Forest review: Excellent all of my party enjoyed a lovely relaxing week and we would go again"

Tracey
Jun 2025

"Relaxing short break on the edge of The New Forest. Walks into Hurn Forest directly from the park. Caravan was clean and comfortable, had a welcoming pack which I thought was a lovely touch. There was free Wi-fi throughout the park. All staff were friendly and welcoming. The facilities were good with an outdoor and indoor pool, flume, steam room and sauna. Food in the on site restaurant was worth the money with large portion sizes. The entertainment was basic, but I stayed off peak and it suited me. If you want relaxing escapism this is the holiday for you I will definitely be back."
