 This site was well run and clean with modern clean shower blocks (muddy floors but due to rain not site's fault) , a good shop and a really clean fair sized pool which our children enjoyed .
The downsides were that most of the (best!) pitches are seasonal so as a touring caravan your choices are limited to the usual straight rows gravel for the awning ,or in the field which had electricity but was fairly waterlogged so that we couldn't use the awning space. The biggest disappointment about our pitch was that it wasn't really like camping in the forest, the tents have a fantastic choice right in the trees but I guess we're not real campers!
The two toilet blocks are at the entrance and it is a long walk for most campers (especially with a full toilet cassette-!) so we saw lots of people driving up to use them which seems daft .
Other than that a good site which we would use again .

Have just returned from this lovely site having spent the last 2 weeks there. It is a lovely laid out site, very suitable for children of all ages. We found the pool great and spent a lot of time in it as the weather was so hot. Our kids (13 and 11) both used bikes to play on around the site and the forest and had a great time making lots of friends. We all took mountain bikes and did the forest trail and some cycling around the local villages, along very safe lanes. We didnt use our car that much really, but when we did you did not have to travel far to get great beaches, lovely scenery and good pubs! We would recommend the Halfway Inn on the way to Corfe castle, good food although very busy so be prepared for a wait. Crabbing was great at Swanage (as were fish and chips)! Durdle Door is a must see place the beach is a trek but worth it when you get there!
No bad points about this site staff were pleasant, pool was warm, pitches were a lovely size. The pitches near to the road might have not been so great as the road the site is on is fairly busy and fast! But we were in the middle and found it very tranquil. Definately one to go back to!

Just returned from this wonderful site. Facilities were excellent. Only moan is the long walk from our pitch to the toilets (especially first thing in the morning!). Weather was awful before we got there, hence really muddy, but it soon warmed up and was very hot! Brilliant for the dogs (our pitch backed on to the woods). Swimming pool was great for the kids and never too busy. Staff very friendly. Will definitely return.

We have been using this site now for about 20 years or more. Started in a Relum tent, then a Erca Chantilly Trailer Tent, now have an ABI Award Nightstar Caravan, which we keep in storage on the site.
So you can imagine the changes we have seen over the years. The new owners, Tony and Sarah, have made their mark on this site. Staff are always ready to help with any problem. The South field (tourers) has been upgraded splendidly. Most grass standings have now been converted to hard stand. WARNING.if you intend to put anything that needs pegging, make sure you go armed with solid spike pegs. The hard stands are like concrete. Normal pegs or plastic are no good. The site now has a security barrier ( you will be issued with a code) so you will feel safer. Toilet blocks (now have an entry code to keep young children from playing inside). are cleaned regularly.and this is my bug with people that treat these areas with contempt on any site.
I don't swim, but the grandchildren spend so long in the pools they look like prunes when we can eventually get them out ! Lovely new adventure park for the kids to clamber over away from traffic.
No clubhouse on site or gaming machines.a bonus as far as I am concerned, showers are free and hot!.
Overall.(I know I speak as a 'resident' as we spend about 8 weeks a year at this site).this site is superb, right on the edge of the forest, loads of cycling to be had.All Dorset coast near.
Only downside.and this is minimal.evenings you hear tank noise from Bovington, and sometimes the ground may shake when the Army let go one of the big guns.lol

We stayed at this campsite during the half term period at the end of May. The site seemed fairly full although I think the forecast of bad weather might have put some people off so there were a few empty pitches. Sure enough the weather was pretty dreadful for at least three of the days and the site electricity system was really struggling to cope, going off several times a day as people were using so many tvs, kettles and heaters. At one point a member of staff had to come round to ask people to use as few appliances as possible and the showers were going off while people were using them. Not much fun but once the weather picked up it was no longer a problem.
The site facilities were the best we have come across - spotlessly clean and even smelt nice every time you went in. There was a good little shop for essentials and the kids even tried the pool, despite the cool weather, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very attractive site and well laid out with a spacious feel to it.
Only downside for us was how busy the area was and how many traffic jams we got stuck in during the week. As it was half term we were expecting a lot of people but it turned out to be worse than we had imagined. Also watch out for the insects in the evening - our boys were bitten all over their faces, arms and legs while playing football.

Spent 2 nights here, end April beginning May, lone female camper.
Site felt safe & secure, but all the empty caravans made it a little like a ghost town! The motorbikes revving up & down(illegally?) on the Sika cycle trails at dusk were annoying & the noise irritating. Luckily it stopped about 10pm.
Tents can use grass or wooded areas away from the road & the amenities - quite a trek to the loos etc. - if you don't need EHU. Loads of regimented rows of white vans would stop me coming peak times. 2 immaculately clean Toilet blocks both with Laundry & Wash-up areas too. If you're a little on the larger side (!) ladies, use the block to the left of Reception as you come onto the site - the Shower cubicles are bigger!

Following advice from members on this site, we decided to opt for this site for our first ever trip in our new caravan. As novices we didn't know what to expect but there was everything we needed and more at this friendly, safe site. The kids had a great time, especially the older two who had the freedom to explore on their bikes and visit the play area. The site was immaculate and the pitches were spacious and flat. A couple of things to mention, in some parts of the site there is some road noise but we were lucky and weren't affected; and if you have a small baby, take a baby bath as there are no baths in the family room and the sinks are too small to bath a baby in. But these are minor issues and we will be returning to this fantastic site in the summer. Brilliant!

We booked this site in July 06 for the week leading up to the Bank Holiday and managed to get an electric hook-up pitch. When we arrived, we asked the staff if there was any possibility of extending our stay over the BH. They advised they were fully booked, but to visit reception every morning in case someone had cancelled. Well, they excelled in this department, as no one cancelled, but they found us another pitch for one night and let us use their emergency pitch for 2 nights.
It was also our first time touring on our own with our 2 kids. The kids (aged 6 & 8) had a whale of a time, and met some lifelong friends. Make sure you take bikes for kids if possible. Our two just loved cycling around the site and meeting up with their new friends. The pool was a little cold but the weather didn't help. The site was very clean and the staff very friendly and helpful. Definitely will be returning.
Swanage & Monkey World are well worth a visit and also Wareham Forest up the road.
The playing field on site is good for an impromtu cricket match.

Touring by motorhome In the depths of winter can turn out to be a bit of a gamble when choosing a site. Well having read the previous reviews we thought we would give the park a try.
Upon arrival, we were plesantly supprised, by the heavily gravelled drive, not a puddle or drop of mud in sight. Having signed in at reception and armed with the site map, we easily found our pitch beside the south toilet / shower block. No need for chocs as the pitch was perfectly level. The showers are absolutely brilliant, fully central heated and kept immaculately clean as was the entire site. To be perfectly honest It's best kept site I have been on and was evident by seeing staff going about their chores. Being in the middle of a forest does have it's problems and TV reception is very poor well bloody awfull really. Having said that, it did not stop us having a wonderfull time. It is a superb site and an ideal base for days out to Swanage and it's Railway, Corf Castle, Lulworth Castle and Cove, Monkey World Bovington Tank Museum, Weymouth, Portland Bill. And seeing we had travelled 300 mile, and were on the south coast we had to nip over to Portsmouth to see HMS Victory And HMS Warrior.
Now who said you could'nt enjoy a weeks holiday in November in England.
Definitely earmarked for future visits to Dorest.

Stayed on this site with two friends who hired motorhome for their first experience at touring / camping. We all had a fantastic time. The weather was perfect, the facilities were all kept clean all throughout the day and night (although with such a hot summer there were plenty of daddy longlegs to share the shower with!). We stayed out of term time so were probably lucky with the noise level, but the children that were on site were well behaved and they had a huge and safe equipped play area to keep them occupied.
We were on a fully serviced pitch which provided plenty of space for the caravan, awning and car and is definitely worth paying that little extra for.
The surrounding area of Wareham is perfect, especially for cycling and walking our dogs (although watch out for ticks which one of mine brought home with him!). There is so much to do in the area. Whilst our men played golf at the local golf club, we went horse riding at the local riding stables for a couple of hours right through the forest and had wonderful views overlooking the Isle of Wight, Bournemouth and Studland Bay.
Great central point for visiting other areas such as Weymouth (approx. 20 miles), Bournemouth, Poole and Studland Bay to name but a few. The staff are friendly and always on the go keeping the site clean and tidy. Well stocked shop on site and lots of tourist information leaflets on hand.
Didn't try the swimming pool but again looked very clean and welcoming. A definite must for couples and families alike. We were so impressed with the area and the campsite that we are planning to go back on a regular basis next year. 10/10!

We recently returned from a weeks camping at this wonderful park
the site is clean and safe
Pitches are large although a little walk to toilet blocks we didnt find is too much trouble.
Staff are excellent.
The shop stocks just about anything you could think of that you might have forgot.
Fresh bread and coissants in morning.
We have a 6year old boy and he spent most of the time on his bike through the woods. First time we really felt he was safe to do so while we strolled a little way behind him
The outdoor pool is great.
No complaints and will be certainly returning next year.

Great site. Lovely, but cold pool. Clean clean clean facilities.
Nice little stocked shop that sells a small amount of camping gear.
Great walks in the forest.
Ideal for trips to Swanage. And Corfe Castle.
A few more smiles and helpfulness from the staff would have made it perfect though. Would go again.

This was our first camping trip and I booked this site based on the positive reviews on this website. Having been and spent a fabulous four days with my husband and our two daughters (aged 4 and 18 months) my worry now is that we will struggle to find somewhere else as good.
We arrived in what could not have been heavier rain, and even I was digging deep to maintain a positive outlook. As we checked in however the sun came out and it stayed that way for the duration of our visit. We had a great woodland pitch about 2 minutes walk to the shower block. We arrived on a Friday around lunchtime and we had a good choice of pitches, but we could see where the problem areas might be if the rain did come back. The woodland area and route to the showers were muddy, but it seemed that the children's enjoyment levels increased with how muddy they were, so not a problem.
We mainly used what looked to be the newer shower block of the two and it was really clean and there were only ever short queues. The family bathroom was great for us and overall we were really impressed with the facilities.
We had great days out at Corfe Castle, Lulworth Cove, and Durdle Door was breathtaking. We went to Monkey World, or "Empty Enclosure World" as it seemed for the large part too, but we also had a great time just being around the site. The children loved the pool and the play area, but most of all just running up and down a muddy slope that was close to our tent with all the friends that they made!
This was such as great place to start our camping career and we will certainly be back.

Great site. Fantastic clean loos and showers. Have to book up ages in advance for electric pitch, we didn't and stayed in the free camping area. Long walk to the loos. Good size pitches, you must leave 20foot around your unit on free camp area. Shop sells hot croissants in the morning, choice of anything else very very limited.
All in all a great site, would go again.

We visited this site for the second year running and opted for electric hook up for the First time which made a real difference. The site is immaculate with excellent toilet and shower blocks . The shop is well stocked and reasonably priced. The staff go out of there way to be friendly and showed a lot of patience with our young children spending their holiday money.
All visitors are extremely friendly and the peaceful setting makes it impossible not to relax. The site is very central and only half hour drive to many places Bournemouth, Poole, Studland,Sandbanks, Weymouth and New Forest.
We will more than likely return next year , as you will struggle to get a better site anywhere.
