We have just booked a 4 night stay at Black Knowl in the New Forest for this September.  We are returning to caravanning after a very long break and have a couple of questions that I am hoping you can help with.

 

Firstly, does anybody know what food vans call there on what nights please?  Would be useful in helping to plan our stay.

 

Also, does anyone know if it is ok to book a food delivery from Tesco/Sainsburys on the first afternoon of our stay.  Does the site allow this?  I have tried looking on the website but cannot find an answer!  Also tried calling the site a few times but cannot get any answer.

 

Many thanks for any help

    Contact the site staff late in the afternoon if possible and they will answer all your questions and welcome back to caravanning and enjoy your break.

    Yes, there won’t be anyone in reception until after 1pm, and then they will be busy with new arrivals. 3 pm onwards should be a good time to phone site direct.

    Cant help with the visiting food vans, not sure. Club doesn’t allow supermarket deliveries onto Club Sites, but there’s nothing stopping you having a delivery to the gate, and bagging stuff up back to your outfit. But best if a small order, and you will need to meet the delivery van as it arrives. You say you have a caravan, so you could pop to gates (outside) in your car with bags ready. I don’t think Brockenhurst is far away.

    The club does indeed allow supermarket deliveries, it's quite almost a daily occurrence but check with site staff before for the area.

    g. Supermarket deliveries can be accepted by guests in the designated area identified by the site staff. Please make the site team aware of any expected delivery, however, they are unable to accept any deliveries on behalf of guests or make guests aware that their delivery has arrived. Deliveries to a pitch are not allowed on our campsites

    Thanks for the update on that one Corners. I didn’t know it had been changed, it was still no deliveries last time I was aware.
