    We stayed at hollands wood in brockenhurst last summer. 3 children, 3 adults. Kids loved it. There isn't an shop on site, but a Tesco's just done the road (cheaper than campshops). We didn't look for a play park as kids were happy watching the horses and cows that roam around the campsite. For a 4 day stay it was £54 for me and my 2. Bargain as it was peak season.
    You are close to the new forest and it's so worth hiring bikes. I had to hire bikes with attachments as my ones are to little to ride, but they loved it. Also you are close to bournemouth. That site is close to a river for pretend netting!!! (well we caught nothing!). I loved it there.

    Have a look at these.
    You could try Holmsley, I think it has everything you require.

    Just booked with Forest Holidays for the campsite at Ashurst in the New Forest but close to Southampton. They take a deposit when you book but you can find info about the sites HERE which gave some interesting opinions when we were looking.
