Lovely off-grid camp site. A bit pricey for what it is but nice to have the company of the new forest ponies and the deer. It's a pleasure to watch your channel. Love, Jeanians

[@wanderingbychoice]

Hi Jean it’s a little pricey but for a short stay with the animals we didn’t mind, thank you for your lovely comments, more of the forest coming soon, take care❤️🙏👍🚌👊

[@viv-i-vangoesforth]

Belated birthday greets, Steve. That barbie looked good! Loving the new site.Looks brilliant and even better seeing awesome wildlife and 19 quid aint bad! Hope you are ok off grid for 16 days. I'm sure Thunderbird 2 will be just fine. Much respect to you, Lorana and Chancer🙏- Kenny

Happy Birthday Steve bless you; lovely wild horses they feral? Great vlog folks. Iam 59, turn in Dec. times goes fast!!! Nice pitch there. 😊🎉🎂🥳🎈🎊🎁😘

[@wanderingbychoice]

Hi Kimberly Thanks for my birthday wishes, it does go fast when you’re having fun, yes they are feral but controlled by local authorities so population control is done right, I try not to get too close lol, more videos of the pony’s etc coming soon,..🙏🥰👍🚌👊🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🐕

[@user-ju5qz4ik6k]

Afternoon both happy birthday Steve have a good one thanks for the video keep safe u2 😂

[@wanderingbychoice]

Thanks Andre i had a blast, keep safe guys 🙏👍🚌

[@Sarahmatthews167]

Looks like you had a good birthday Steve. Belated best wishes. Can’t believe they closed while you were on site but glad you were sorted x

[@wanderingbychoice]

Thank you Sarah, had a lovely birthday with the family, we still not sure what is happening there, but we had a lovely stay in the new forest 🙏👍🚌👊🥰

[@maryfennell9672]

What a thing to do, closing a site when you are on it and booked in!! They could of waited until you'd left! At least you found a lovely site to go to, could of been difficult with sites being booked up. Luck was on your side!

[@wanderingbychoice]

Hi Mary it certainly was on our side, the owner seemed confused when we turned up, as if she had forgotten about the booking, but she was nice and very elderly so no drama, just glad we went to the new forest and had such a lovely stay. Take care and safe travels 🙏👍🚌👊🥰

[@kurts_aviation]

Happy birthday Steve hope you had a good one, shame about that CL closing but the New Forest is a great place to stay

[@wanderingbychoice]

Thanks Kurt definitely a blessing in disguise, loved the new forest and the extra journey time didn’t matter with all that nature around.. safe travels buddy 🙏👍🚌👊

[@shazzer35]

I live 35 minute drive from Ocknell I have been camping there for over 40 years absolutely love the site when my kids were small we found a full set of antlers in the wood I used to seasonal pitch there if the awning is on the grass you have to move it every 20 days I think it’s about 1300 for the season which I believe is approximately 9 months 🥰

[@wanderingbychoice]

Hi Shazzer it’s a great place and so much nature all around just beautiful, 1300 for 9 months is pretty good, more from ocknell coming Monday. Safe travels 🙏👍🚌👊🥰

[@grahamgetsabout2672]

Hi Steve, that looks a nice spot. One thing we know if you say it’s good, it really is good. You did seem very relaxed after the stress of having to leave the other site. It all turned out great in the end 👌👋👋👋👍

[@wanderingbychoice]

Hi guys we loved every minute there, got another 2 videos nearly done of the new forest, the stress was soon gone 🙏👊🚌👍🥰

[@robertmustard1711]

Hi guys great video absolutely beautiful part of the UK the new forest we had a holiday there one year and we have family in Southampton in fact my mom and dad are off down there non Friday for I think for 4 0r 5 days

[@wanderingbychoice]

Hi Robert we loved our time there, hope you’re mum and dad enjoy it as much as we did. Safe travels 🙏👍🚌👊

[@Remonyyork]

I really liked the look of that site but it certainly seemed as though a lot of the vans were long term residents. Lovely to be back to basics and having all the wildlife around. I’m a big animal lover but I too am intimidated by horses after a couple of run ins with them over the years so you’re not on your own there 😬 Happy belated birthday Steve 🎉🥳

[@wanderingbychoice]

Thanks Nikki for my birthday wishes, the site was lovely and had a lot of seasonal pitches but also lots of rules for those, only allowing 21 day stays with at least 5 days in between, but also closed October to march, loved the wildlife but still wary of the horses, more coming soon take care 🙏👍👊🚌🥰

[@MotorhomeMums]

Lovely to see you enjoying the New Forest. Great for Chancer. Our dogs love it. We’ve just had 5 days here before heading north again. Very strange goings on at Dell Croft. I imagine it must have got too much and the daughter isn’t so keen to keep it going. Shame though. Happy travels. 🤗🚌❤️

[@wanderingbychoice]

Very strange Kath. And I’m sure you are right, so thankful we went to the forest, completely recharged our batteries so to speak, in Essex now be able to watch some KZbin again lol, hi to Sue and Archie and fudge, safe travels 🙏🥰👊🚌👍

[@cliffordmaple1566]
