St Leonards Farm Caravan and Camping Park Reviews

Good site in good location

We have recently come back from a three-night stay at this campsite, staying on a good sized, hardstanding electric pitch. Check-in was quick and efficient. All public areas of the site are clean and well-maintained and we felt the site was very secure. The owners were very friendly and helpful (when we couldn't get our vehicle started).The site is in a good location with supermarkets and pubs nearby, and is within easy reach of Wimborne, Bournemouth and Poole. We will use this site again, when visiting family who live locally.

Great stay

Great place. Very friendly and welcoming with very clean facilities.

One night stay

Great greeting. It was Halloween, so the owners created an event for the children, which was nice for the families staying there. Electricity has a small supply of 10 amps, which limited the use of some electrical items. Unfortunately shower power needs updating as the water pressure was very low. Nice big cubicles that included shower, toilet and basin and it was clean. Overall, it was ok.

Good for a stopover

Good for a stopover but site has low amperage - be aware that there is a 10amp max.

Our stay was great

Extremely friendly and accommodating- thank you for the salt! :)

You are very welcome, anytime.

Great campsite, great experience

First time camping as a family, two adults, 3 year old and a 11 year old. Campsite was great, very spacious, with a great kids park in the middle of the campsite. The park has 4 swings, 2 toddler swings, a roundabout and another spinny thing. There are see-saws, slides, a zip line, a climbing frame and a toddler climbing wooden frame with slides and things. Both kids and adults loved it! Soft play is in a barn, so obviously not immaculate but you wouldn't expect it to be anyway. Great fun for both kids. There is seating in there and it's open all day. They've also got a farm that you can freely wander around with pigs, donkeys, sheep, chickens, peacocks, turkeys. All friendly and approached us when we went to them. Again, kids loved that. We had an electric pitch, so no issues there. So much space per pitch as well. The staff were so lovely and if you bumped into them while walking around, they have a chat. Toilet and showers, very clean. Saw cleaners in there multiple times too. Great water pressure too which is always handy. Lots of drinking water points as well. Literally a 10 min walk away is Lidl, Sainsburys, a Beefeater, McDonald's and some smaller shops too. Very handy for first time campers who forget everything. I have nothing bad to say about the campsite, our experience, the staff, the facilities - all of it was amazing. Will be retuning regularly now!

Site's response

Thank you for your lovely comments, we are so pleased you had such a good experience and look forward to welcoming you all back on park in the near future.

Nice local site

Was a test run for a new tent, the pitches were just big enough for the 7x5m tent. The site was well kept and the staff were really helpful, thank you. For slightly smaller setups, a great place!

Lovely place to stay

Lovely campsite, not too busy, which was a pleasure. Very good price and the staff were friendly and helpful. The only thing that was not as good as it could have been was the toilet and shower block nearest to the tent. No curtain in the shower, which was a nuisance as clothing got wet, the shower was not as warm as it could have been & the block really needs some work done on the overall usability. The existing exit is onto a busy dual carriageway - be aware of the speed so that you have plenty of time to get out.

Lovely, friendly, well maintained and clean farm

Lovely welcome from Caroline, Shawn and Kathy to a spacious, peaceful, well maintained site. Clean and tidy facilities. Great location for Riverside and forest walks, supermarkets and pubs etc.

Brilliant

Lovely friendly park, with good amenities and straight onto the A31 central to all areas. Two supermarkets on your doorstep, a pub and lots of local shops including a garage for fuel. Lovely location for all to enjoy including a good variety of wildlife as you'd expect on a farm.

Our stay

Campsite is clean and tidy, but toilet and shower blocks need updating.

Excellent

Our first time staying at St Leonards. A friendly, very clean campsite. Nice spacious pitches, play park and dog friendly, close to Lidl and Sainsbury. Would recommend, we even got to see some Peacocks, Cows and Sheep which my little man loved.

It is a beautiful place and the staff are very polite and very helpful

It was a brilliant site for peacefulness and I enjoyed it. The kids were a problem hanging around in the toilets and riding pushbikes up and down the site and throwing food at the cars.

Well kept friendly site, ideal for families

A well laid out and well kept site. The pitches are a reasonable size and hardstanding pitches have grass beside them for your awning. It is an ideal site for families with both an indoor and outdoor play facilities for kids. There are weekly visits from a pizza van fish and chips and a pop up bar. The access is good and the location is within easy reach of many attractions. There are supermarkets and a pub within easy reach. There is a dog walking area, although you are asked to keep the dog on a lead. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Great stay

Great location, lovely site. Only issue was the showers. They were okay however not powerful and most of the water tended to trickle down the wall. Had to keep hold of the button to make it work. Otherwise all good 🙂

First camping trip

We stayed for 6 nights for my daughter's very first experience of camping. The whole campsite was ideal, from the playground, to the takeaway vans coming on site.

Amazing location

Great site, very large but plenty of space with big pitches. Very accommodating and friendly, close to supermarket and shopping. Easy walk to local eateries. Takeaways deliver to the front gate and there is also pizza van and mobile bar visits on site on Thursday nights.

Fantastic stay

Great stay here with my children, fun softplay barn and large play park on-site. Friendly, helpful staff. A number of shops & restaurants within 5 minutes walk. Would recommend and visit again soon. Thank you.

Great place!

I booked St Leonards Farm to spend 3 days with my kids in Poole. The location of the campsite is fab, close to a Beefeater pub for tasty breakfasts, and within walking distance to shops and my favourite Starbucks. Only 25 mins drive to Sandbanks Beach and 45 to Weymouth! It's an ideał location. Very kind and helpful staff. Toilets and showers located in central position and quite clean! I will definitely be coming back next year and we had fantastic time! Thanks.

We had a ball

Well it was a heatwave, but we honestly had the best few days. The site was perfect. Clean and quiet. We were by the play area and the kids were cycling and playing until dark. We spent each day on Southbourne Beach which was incredible!

A short break

I wanted a base to stay whilst attending a wedding and visiting friends. The site is extremely well managed and the staff went above and beyond what I expected. The first pitch I was offered was a little small due to the neighbours spreading themselves into more than their allotted space. As the area had several spare pitches I asked to move. This was immediately agreed and I was given a shady pitch with a vacant pitch next'door'. When I checked the time the gate was locked, I was told just to phone the mobile and I would be let in. In the event I came back earlier and the person in charge came to check that I was OK. There are plenty of fresh water points and 2 toilet blocks plus a few wet rooms. The site is directly off the A31 dual carriageway. I had worried that exiting the site appeared horrendous but traffic moved into the outside lane as it was very close to a roundabout. If I was in the area I would stay there again.

Great clean site

Lovely campsite. Kept clean and was very relaxed and quiet. Great position to explore the local area and beaches. We found a gem and will definitely be back!

Two nights stay

Clean site. Staff were very friendly, but, lacking in showering facilities- one block very old and not comfortable the other, only had a handful of cubicles so had to queue a few times. Also the humps getting in and out of the park are unnecessarily high. Just one other thing, the leaflet handed to us on arrival stated gates close at 11pm less stated otherwise. We didn't see any signs saying would be closed by 10.30 on the first night we got back at 10.33 and gates were locked, we got lucky that somebody else was trying to leave so we had the gates opened for us, otherwise we knew we'd have to stay in the overflow field. We were in a campervan so wouldn't have had what we needed for the night as everything was in our tent and I'm disabled so couldn't have got back there. Otherwise nice site, but wouldn't go back there.

Nice campsite

Really enjoyed our stay here. The play barn is excellent for younger children and the park was excellent for all ages. Nearby A31 could be a bit noisy at night but not an issue for us. Temperature for shower varied and we found them a bit cold, whereas others had said it had been really hot. Suppose they were trying to fix the issue. We will visit again.

Very happy

Very happy with this site. Clean facilities and friendly staff. Will definitely go back.
