Hi,

I'm looking to book a campsite near swanage for August and found Herston Yards. I like the fact that you can have a campfire and catch the steam train to Swanage, but I have read a lot of negative reviews from 2005/6.

Has anyone been recently as the website is stating that there have been many improvements for 2007.

Thanks....

There are 6 reviews from 2007 which may help http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=1237

just got back from herston ,we also went there last year .i haven,t read the negative reports about this camp site but if if you are looking for a 5 star site then this is not the place to go,if, on the other hand you just need a base for days out then ,for the price this is ideal.if you have children then again not a good site as they have no swimming pool or any real children activities.we used it again this year because 1,price.....2,perfect base for days out ,ie studland beach ,corfe castle, steam train ,5 mins from swanage shops.as chrisnirene pointed out ulwell is a better site with pool but at a cost.hope this helps...............

Thanks All.... I think we will give it a miss. However it's hard to find anywhere to book this close to the Bank holiday.

Thanks Dave
