Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Pitches (Gravel)Nov 2021

Second time visiting and I am afraid we won't be back. At least this time we were shown to our pitch and not first come first served, like on our first visit which I do not agree with. Place is tidy but you need a car to go places or use the bus or taxi. Showers were clean-ish. But on the weekend, the showers were cold, no hot water. Not good in the middle of winter. Water flush not working on the chemical toilet. We did complain but basically brushed it off and said it would be sorted. People were nice but it's just not for us.

Hi Paul. I am sorry you didn't enjoy your stay with us. I am also sorry you won't be returning. I would like to reply to your comments. I am unsure when you came before, as you say this is your second visit? We have never had a first come first serve policy on pitches, and we have owned the park for 9 years now. We always walk customers to pitches for a more personal service. A car is handy for getting out and about, but you can use public transport. However, you can walk to Hurn Forest, West Moors and 2 pubs from our park. It depends on where you wished to go. We score incredibly highly on quality and cleanliness of the shower blocks so I can only apologise if you found them not clean enough. I wished you reported it to us. I have no idea why you found them cold. They are fully heated and 2 massive tanks of water. No customer reported any issues. Anyway, best wishes in your future travels. I hope you find parks more to your taste.

Back of Beyond is a lovely quiet campsite set within a woodland area.

This was a lovely campsite ideal for a very peaceful break. It is set within a woodland area that is great if you like walking and suitable for dog walks. Lovely clean facilities. Especially enjoyed the pop up pub on Wednesday evening sitting around the log burner and to add to this experience the arrival of a fish and chip van. A nice little gem of a place and well worth a visit.

Wonderful site with an amazing woods (18 acres) in which to walk dogs safely off lead (totally fenced in). Absolutely spotless everywhere. Being low season, unfortunately the bar wasn't open but it looks to be lively and welcoming when it is. Very friendly, helpful staff.

Site's response

Hi Ann. Thank you for the review and recommendation. The bar is open 4 days a week in low season. I am sorry if you missed it.

Brilliant experience

Yet again another great stay at this site. Very clean and quiet. Great food vans visiting. Great onsite bar with fire pit to let you relax and meet fellow campers whilst enjoying a drink. Nice forest walks with the dog with a crafty beer in the pub on the way back. Will definitely be going back. Highly recommended for a super stay.
