Large A-class or Tag Axle Motorhome - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesAug 2023

Only a short walk across fields to road into the town. Site was busy as was height of the season. Could do with a bit spent on the toilets and showers. Really good location, close to Swanage which is lovely. Site on the whole was good. Improvements could be made by providing more toilets and showers. The overall impression of the site is not great on arrival unfortunately. Old static caravans and vehicles to match. All facilities were pretty tired looking. Shower water pressure completely failed on me and another guy. Member of staff was advised and got onto it straight away however. Great if you like a busy child and pet friendly site. A bit of noise at night by other campers but not excessive. We gave our short break 8/10 so on the whole pretty decent.

Untidy, poor showers

Motorhome - Large Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesAug 2023

Pitches have many weeds. Grass part isn’t mown and maintained. Old poor showers which are dirty.

Small amount of dirty toilets

Single Axle Caravan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesAug 2023

To start with the positives, the fully serviced pitch was great and it was only just over one mile to the beach. But the toilets and showers let this site down badly. There are just 12 combined showers, sinks and toilets on the touring field which get very busy in the morning with people showering and thus, there is no toilet available. The toilet floor was always wet and muddy because it was cleaned with a wet mop and not dried. We will not be returning here.

Single Axle Caravan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesAug 2023

Lovely place to stay. Was very disappointed in the shower block. It was dirty. Went to the bar on a couple of evenings and stayed where we could see our granddaughter playing in the park. Where we sat was full of teenagers swearing. Apart from that it was lovely. Staff very friendly.

Great site, really relaxed with good facilities

The location of the site is perfect. You can easily walk into Swanage town. Within easy reach of all of the local sites . We really enjoyed the week.

Had the best holiday!

We loved every day here for the last 8 days. Kids really enjoyed it & there was so much to do locally and on the site. Entertainment was great!

Ok for short stay

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

Last minute booking for a 2 night stay. Check in was easy and pleasant. Pitch itself was quite close so we were lucky to only have a campervan. Wasn't overly noisy, except for some selfish people who decided the entire site would like to listen to their musical tastes. Thankfully, that didn't last all night. The facilities were adequate, although things got pretty grubby pretty quickly. No mops or way of cleaning after yourself, except for some dirty looking squeegee mops caked in dirty water. Nice path direct from field to Swanage, which was about a mile away. It was ok for 2 days but I wouldn't want to stay any longer.

Motorhome - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesAug 2023

The staff could not have been more helpful. Very friendly and helpful whenever we asked about anything. The bar was a bit on the small side for the size of the site but there was bingo on for both children (which they loved) and adults. To be honest the only downside was we thought the pitches are too close together but we only stayed 2 nights so we coped with it. We will say, do try it. The town of Swanage, which isn't too far away, is lovely and so is the beach.

Good

Twin Axle Caravan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesAug 2023

People are so friendly. Service is great. It is very tired and run down, but had everything we needed. Could do with a tidy up. Roast carvery was lovely. Chris Payne, a great singer on the Friday night.

We really enjoyed our stay at Herston, we found the place very friendly, the staff were amazing, entertainment at night was great for us and not too busy like some sites. Always able to get a table, shop was well stocked for all needs, great takeaway for pizza and kebab onsite and even a refreshments van for breakfast and evening meals/snacks. We would defo go again.

Motorhome - Large Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesAug 2023

We arrived at our pitch which was great size wise but quite unkempt and the grass desperately needed cutting. Toilet and shower blocks were filthy for our entire stay but thankfully, we were in a motorhome so used our own bathroom. Food truck was also dirty on the outside and the entire site needs a tidy up. Cleanliness costs nothing but time and a jet wash. The area itself, Swanage, Sandbanks and the coastal path are absolutely beautiful and can't wait to visit again using a different site. We booked a superior pitch but was not anything superior about it.
