Absolutely lovely, quiet place to stay. We only stayed 1 night but it was peaceful, only looked at fields and not overlooked by anyone else. Toilets and showers so clean. Friendly welcome when we arrived. Would definitely stay again.
Great for youngsters

Great facilities for young kids, good soft play area in the barn which is rare and a very good spacious park with zip wire. Nice level pitches and good ground for pegs. Friendly staff and nice clean shower & toilet block with nice hot pressure on shower. Only problem was automatic lights kept going out and had to shave & shower with phone light, but I'm sure they will sort this problem. Lots of local food and pubs, would definitely recommend 😊👍🏻

We enjoyed a 1 night stay here in March and were very happy with the friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness of the site (especially the toilet block - they were sparkling!) and the amenities there to entertain children. Our 3 year old had the best two days here playing in the park, the soft play barn & walking around the farm. Highly recommend to anyone, especially those with children. We will be returning!

Lovely welcome from lady on the desk. My only negatives - update shower pressure, trickling water not very inviting, the cubicles were clean. Please explain about switching the knob up on the hook up - bit confusing 🤔 Be good to put info in brochure about bus service to Poole as bus stop outside site and brilliant easy service in and out of Poole. Decent site and lots of room excellent to access Poole or Bournemouth, great shops and pub less than 10 mins away 🎉
Loved it!

We were welcomed at check in with a smile, given pitch number, advised of all eateries in the area. Park is set out well with easy access to motorhome service point, our hardstanding faced an empty field, so peaceful. The shower and toilet block was clean. All in all, a great stay.
Fantastic, well looked after!

An ideal campsite for us, with children's facilities, a park and a soft play. A great location for days out. The facilities were clean and staff friendly. My only reason for the mark down was because the shower pressure really weak. Water was trickling out although the temperature was great, it was difficult to rinse and I felt the park grass was quite overgrown.
Great stay

Just a one night stay in November after visiting Bournemouth for the weekend. The pitch was level and on a well maintained site. The modern toilet/showers were absolutely spotless. Dogs were welcome, with a safe walking area completely separate from a well equipped children's play area. It was set well back from the road and we had a very peaceful sleep. Thank you.

St Leonards farm is very friendly. It was incredibly clean, there was plenty of hot water in the shower block. John, welcomed us, he was very friendly and helpful. It was our first trip out and not knowing what we were doing, John helped us. He was so patient and informative, it was very much appreciated. We will be back. Thank you!

A wonderful family campsite with indoor and outdoor play areas for a range of ages (1 to 8 years for us). Staff were great, polite and helpful and all facilities were well kept, in full use and clean. Lovely countryside surrounds the campsite with lots of animals to see yet, just off a main road with shops, takeaways and pub within walking distance.
Vehicle height restriction limited my stay

The campsite was conveniently located, had flat pitches and a quiet atmosphere. I wasn't aware that there was a height restriction on vehicles entering the site after 10:30pm, which limited the time I could spend with my family locally - the intention of my visit. So I was a bit disappointed with my stay.
A really nice little campsite

A really nice little campsite. Far enough from the main road not to be annoyed by the traffic and close enough to get to a Lidl and a pub on foot. Facilities were good - toilets and showers were very clean, drinking water taps everywhere. Very friendly staff, seemed family-friendly. Would stay again.
Lovely site

Nice site, lovely owners, quiet, showers need a bit of attention and toilets not the cleanest. However, I would stay again. Nice pub and shops a ten minute walk. Would recommend.

Enjoyed the stay with friends and kids. Playground was straight in front of the tent. Facilities were a bit far but overall, okay. Staff is nice and helpful. Got a flat battery on the day we had to leave and they let us stay. Will consider this place in the future.

Nice site. Toilet block clean but not many loos for whole site. Loved the addition of the play barn and being able to look at the farm animals. Only negative is that the entry barriers didn't recognise our number plate so delayed us getting in/out. Great location for Bournemouth, Sandbanks etc.

We chose this site as it had a really good set up for youngsters. A great park and a play barn soft play centre, which my daughter didn't actually go in as the weather was fine, we bought plenty for her to keep occupied. Lots of space, pitches were great, pretty much level across the park so no wonky sleeping. Shower blocks were good, nice and clean. The only thing that stops them being 5 star in my eyes are the pump taps, they don't stay on for longer than 5secs and you can't control the temperature either and they are quite hot. I know, 1st world problems but it's very hard to get a child washed in them when it's too hot and you have to keep pushing them on repeatedly. Playing field and park very well kept with no damage or broken play equipment which is a rarity these days on sites like this that cater for our children. The on site burger van is a bit pricey, paid £2 for a can of Pepsi, which put me off straight away, it's a great idea but it never looked busy. It's a very tidy and wonderfully kept site, lovely entrance, lots of shops nearby. Lidl, Sainsbury's, Halfords, McDonald's and an awesome bakery near by too. They only thing which got me a bit peeved was other people's kids coming up to us randomly during our meal times or as such, parents nowhere to be seen outside with them. Feel sorry for the kids as this is not how I was bought up when I went camping with my parents. but this isn't a site problem, it's a parenting one, just a big bare of mine. We saw the owners one more whilst we were getting a workout done in the playing field one morning as were very happy and polite. We went to Moors Valley Country Park and Forest which was really good, plenty for kids to do to keep them occupied and wear them out. You only have to pay for the parking which isn't cheap. £4.90/hour peak times. If you are feeling fairly frivolous then there's bike hire, Go Ape, Segways, train rides you can spend lots more of your money on. It's all good memories at the end of the day. Who said money can't buy happiness? We would definitely stay at St Leonard's again.

We were looking for a location close to Bournemouth, clean and quiet with a playpark suitable to entertain our 9 year old granddaughter. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the site is very well organised and clean, with a large playpark and adjoining football field. The facilities were clean, only let down by push taps for basins and showers which either stayed on or particularly for the showers, required continual pressure to make them work. We were hoping to use the bus with a stop outside the site to get to the beach but with an hour journey, we used the campervan instead. The journey was relatively stress free and we found good parking on the cliff road with a short walk to the beach. There are good shops including a Lidl and Sainsburys within walking distance. There are no country walks from the site but plenty of activities nearby if you are prepared to drive. The site is popular with large family groups who set up gazebos and like to chat into the late evening despite a 10:30 quiet rule. We were unfortunate to be parked next to one such group and spoke to the manager about the noise issue. He was happy to remind them of the rule but we didn't notice much difference. If you like to camp as a family with young children, this site may be ideal for you, but if you prefer a quiet relaxing time, avoid school holidays.
Lovely site

Lovely campsite, good, clean facilities. Beautifully kept with flowers and there was a dog walking area too.
