Good location for exploring Dorset
Aug 2023 We booked a hard standing campervan spot (Renault Master) for two nights over a bank holiday weekend.
We booked it a few days before our stay and managed to get it for a really reasonable price considering there are very few places that allow two night stays over a bank holiday. It was very easy to find and we got a warm welcome on arrival. We were located in a nice quiet spot on the outskirts of the campsite and it looked like those with families were grouped together deeper in to the campsite. Very cleverly done. The toilets were relatively clean (4/5) compared to some other campsite toilets I've seen. The toilet floor and shower cubicle floor was a little muddy at times but it's a campsite, what do people expect! However, the toilets and showers are in the same room. It would make more sense to have separate shower blocks and separate toilet blocks to avoid queues. Even so, we didn't experience too much queueing but then again we weren't reliant on the toilets as we have a porta potty.
The site was well kept, lots to do for children although we didn't get to check this out on this trip (didn't travel with kids on this occasion). The only negative was the site is located right near a road so it wasn't the idyllic countryside location we were expecting. We could've done with some nice nearby walking areas for the doggo, but not a huge deal, as we spent most of one day on Bournemouth beach (20 minute drive) and most of the next day, hiking the trails of New Forest (15 minute drive). The other negative was that the onsite food was really expensive and they didn't have anything vegetarian or vegan. We took our own food in anticipation of this, but would've liked to have tried the food.
It was really good for a base. We didn't intend to spend a lot of time at the campsite, we just needed somewhere to sleep securely and electric hook-up for a kettle/coffee frother on a morning. It was really good for that purpose. Clean, tidy, helpful staff and easy to navigate around the site.
Lovely site
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Nice site. Good location, nice big park for kids and the pitches themselves are level. Love that local food vans and a bar on wheels comes in on the weekends.
The bathroom facilities could be improved. You have to keep pressing the button on the showers for them to keep running and the pressure isn't very strong. There aren't any shelves for you to put your stuff when showering, so it's quite difficult to keep your clean clothes dry etc.
Would be handy to have an on site shop.
Would probably visit again :)
Amazing site
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 I couldn't praise this site more. The couple running it truly go out of their way to help make sure you have a fab holiday. It's the little things that make a great difference.
The kids had a great time in the park (we requested to have a pitch close to the park and we were literally next door where we could keep an eye on them while relaxing in the sun cooking dinner, dreamy) and soft play. The farm animals were an added bonus. We will definitely be back again. The shower block closer to the entrance was amazing! You can shower in your own locked room without the fear of a shower curtain exposing you to everyone!
100/10 ☺️
Great site
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Great site, friendly approachable staff. Lovely pitches with plenty of space.
Facilities clean and great range of visiting food vans and an ice cream van every evening.
Great base for exploring the surrounding areas.
A good campsite
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Good atmosphere. Loved the food and ice cream trucks. Toilet facilities generally clean. Great play area for kids. Only spoke to staff at check in but they were friendly. Would stay here again.
Lovely campsite
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 First time being on site and we absolutely loved it. My daughter loved the indoor play area and the park. We walked round and saw the animals which was amazing. Really recommend this site.
Good family campsite
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Really nice campsite. Great park and soft play for the kids. Good clean facilities. Would definitely book again. The only gripe was the showers had poor pressure coupled with push to work is a nightmare when trying to get three kids thought the shower.
Lovely place
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 We have just come back from staying here, it was a lovely and friendly place, we even added an extra night on our stay. Kids had a blast in the park and play barn, it was clean and tidy and the ice-cream van and pizza truck was lovely and very much enjoyed. Kids also enjoyed going around and looking at the animals there, would definitely stay again and would highly recommend to friends and family.
Comfy site with some compromises
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 The bad weather did not stop us enjoying our stay. The site is level and well drained. The showers and toilet were constantly cleaned so that despite the muddy tracks, they remained usable.
The location is a weak spot as there is constant road noise. It's a good distance from any attractions. Children are well catered for though, with play areas and animals to amuse them. Visiting food vans are a good idea, with a good selection of choices during the week.
Overall, a well managed site.
Eating out options are good nearby, as you might expect from the 'edge of town' location. Shopping is easy, but don't expect a rural idyll. For me, it's a trade off.
