well after reading other reviews on here we fully expected a lovely relaxing break however on arrival we found we had been allocated a grass pitch next to the very busy road which woke the whole family about 6.30 every morning The campsite was heaving which meant the toilet block always seemed to be awash with water from the showers, and too many children seemed intent on running us over on their bikes add that to the dogs which kept peeing up the tree on our pitch and its fair to say it has put us off returning

This really is a fantastic site. We were recommended to the site by our friends.(Thankyou)
We only purchased our 1st caravan this year and have not looked back since. The site is immaculately clean, with plenty of taps and waste water points. The shower blocks are always very clean. The laundry facilities are also very good. (Just what you need with 5 kids!!)
The staff have always been very helpful to us everytime we have been there and we have not encountered any problems. A real family site and the children love spending weekends at the site aswell and love the park and the swimming pool.
The shop is ideal if you need provisions and has essential bits and pieces for your van should you need anything.
The site is in a great geographical location to explore the area.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

This site is clean and tidy. Hot water is plentiful and always available, so long as you dont mind queuing to use them they are excellent, if not badly positioned for the camping area (they are nearer to the caravan area which do not need them so readily). Its peaceful, flat and has good walks from site and surrounding areas.Facilities are cleaned 3 times a day and rubbish is collected 3 times a day peak season.Shop has basics.
Be warned though there are no hot food takeaway / eat in facilities on site.

Visited this site mid-June. We were very lucky with the weather, which would have made any trip great, but the campsite certainly made the weekend special too.
The top field (for non electric hookup) was big, which provided pleanty of space for our tent, car bikes etc. The facilities were nice and clean, the shop stocked sufficient items and was reasonable and the pool was great. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful.
It is great for visiting Studland Bay and Lulworth cove.
Lovely pub a 15-20 minute walk away(for us with the kids anyway) – the Silent Woman – great food (if a bit pricy)
We will defiantly visit this site again. The only down side is the mosquitoes – there certainly seemed to lots – they were almost unbearable on our first night – we invested heavily in various potions and this helped a lot – but still could not sit outside your tent for too long after dark.

Very nice clean site. Toilet/shower facilities clean and pleasant to use. good space around caravan pitches.
Pool not heated so in the lovely summer of 2004, even the kids wouldn't go in!
Shop only open at weekends out of school holidays.
Site is literally in the forest, so fantastic for walking straight from the door, the site dog exercise area was Wareham Forrest, and our dogs couldn't have asked for more!
Very enjoyable fortnight.

I’ve just come back from a long weekend at this site. Where to start…
Firstly, the weather was great and that always helps.
The site looks great when you first drive on and you know it’s well looked after. First impressions really do count and they don’t let you down. What a beautiful site. This is probably the nicest, best looked after, best looking site I have ever been and my only regret about the whole weekend was that I had to come home.
The facilities are of an exceptional quality and the other guests were friendly.
I suppose I should write some downsides for the sake of balance.
The site is a drive to get anywhere, but it is along a quick road so five minutes gets you to a shop.
Some of the pitches on the top field are a bit of a trek to the toilets.

We have just returned from this site in what was probably the worst weather of the summer so far! We were in a tent and as we didn't require hook-up were able to pitch anywhere within certain areas. There are no marked pitches for tents so no-one was right on top of anyone else. It is a lovely site, no noisy club house, so if you want evening entertainment you will have to go out. The shop was small but good for necessities, with ice blocks for rent. The pool was clean and tidy but as the weather was so bad we never got in it!
The showers were clean and tidy and must have been checked at least three times a day however there are only eight female and eight male showers on the entire site. We are early risers and so avoided the queues, but they did get busy. Just one niggle - in our shower block only one sink had a soap dispenser - so you have to take your own soap even if you're just popping to the loo!
I would return to this site again.

Just returned from a 10 day visit.
Ideally located for Poole, Bournemouth, New Forest or Wareham Forest and Lulworth.
Site can be noisy during main summer hols, due to families, but excellent to see people keeping to noise curfew at 11pm.
Lovely flat pitches, toilet / shower blocks very well kept, plenty of hot water.
Stoney / gravel roads a bit noisy, but as they are nearer the caravan areas didn't bother us to much.
Due to 2nd part of roads being mostly dirt, dust actually blew everywhere (3rd part is grass).
Would fully recommend this site.
Small shop was excellent, very friendly staff, cooked food was lovely.

Easter 2004 and June 2004
First time we came here it was absolutely freezing! Woke up to frost on the ground (we were in a tent!). Second time we really enjoyed ourselves. We have 4 children (8, 7, 5 and 3) so camped by the road next to the play area. This was great and we didn't find it noisy at all! The children were given money each day and loved spending 20p in the little shop picking out their sweeties! (Very patient shop assistants!) The receptionist and all the staff seemed really professional and friendly - and even remembered us on our second trip (it that a good thing??!!)
Lovely cycling in the forest and Studland Bay is only 20 minutes or so away. The co-op in Wareham itself is small but had everything you need. We love this site although a little far from us but if we're in the area - it certainly is GREAT (apart from the mozzies)! Definitely see you again!

I visited this site on my own with my three boys. (Although Jaffa helped me to set up and take down the TT). I found the site to be friendly and well looked after. The toilet blocks, washing up area and Laundry were all clean with an abundance of hot water. The Swimming Pool was also very clean, although a little on the cold side for me, my boys managed to go swimming at least twice a day. This site is well placed for places to visit, eg Monkey World and Ludlow Castle. My only niggle is that the pitch seemed a bit snug, but my Cabanon Atlantis TT is rather big. We still had a great holiday and would consider revisiting this site again.

Very good site excellent for young famalies and those that want peace and harmony in a beautiful area. Try to camp away from the stone driveways around the site for even with the most carefull of drivers they are very noisy especialy at night. Otherwise enjoy!

We visited this site for a couple of nights and thought it was lovely. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The showers were excellent, although it was very quiet at the time of our visit and I am sure that there would be a need for more showers at busier times. The toilets were very clean and there are plenty of them. There is a lovely play area for the children and a trip into the forest is a must! The shop is small but well stocked on the essentials and there is a small cafe to save you from the cooking. We had a very relaxed and peaceful weekend at this site and the kids loved it. We have already booked to go back.

Stayed here for a weekend on a basic (non hookup)tent pitch. We were able to choose from several allocated areas where to pitch and found a wonderful spot in the Glade.
The pool was not open when we stayed, which was a shame as it looked lovely and there was a seperate small pool for little ones.
Although the toilet blocks were clean, always stocked with loo roll and plenty of hot water for me they were very slightly on the basic side (been spoilt at a few other sites recently)- they could have done with more space for hanging clothes or sitting kiddies when getting washed and dressed.
The camp site was immaculately clean and considering the size was not noisy. The kiddies play area was great probably better for slightly older kiddies. My 5 year old and our friends 8 year old spent hours playing here but it was bit too challenging for my 3 year old, but she was happy just digging in the clean sand.
The staff were very friendly and efficient. Good shop on site selling all the basics and more. Ice block hire at 25p + £1 returnable deposit.
All in all a very good site which we will return to.

First impressions count - as you drive into the campsite it looks clean, tidy and well laid out. Friendly reception and resonable information given about where to pitch etc - Facilities limited but clean and well maintained - plenty of free hot water. The staff in the cafe/shop friendly and very helpful especially to the kids, although the stock in the shop was limited.
We went with another family and found it to be an excellent base to explore the surrounding areas - the park itself is very child friendly with a good play area and lots of woods to explore. The only downside lots and lots of midges in the evenings - so take the insect repellant!!!

Stayed for five nights with my wife and four children. The fifth night being one extra so we must have enjoyed it. There is a lot which is good about this site and there are a few of bad points. The swimming pool was closed but we were notified by post, before we went, that it would be. The manager offered us a full refund on our deposit if we wished to cancel. The site was reportedly full however there was lots of space and there was no attempt to pile as many people in as possible. There was a friendly welcome and maps were given to us of the site. The kids were able to play near the tent and were completely safe. The shop was well stocked with emergency supplies and was very clean. The workers were strict about the 5 mile an hour speed limit. I know because I was stopped for going 5 miles an hour over the limit. There was plenty of hot water and the showers were generally clean.
The bad points.The shower block did not have enough showers and every time I went I had to queue. The roads were very poor on the site and dusty and covered with several stones. The ground around our tent was very muddy around our tent after an overnight downpour. We even made emergency repairs. There was no weather report posted anywhere. I asked the staff several times about the weather and no one had a clue. I also asked in reception for the local camping supplies company. They sent me to a caravan shop 10 miles away that had nothing I needed. We were in the glade area and it was a fair distance to the water tap this partly being our fault because we did have a choice of pitches.
This campsite has five stars and work needs to be done to keep those five stars, I feel one may disapear. Overall it was a good campsite, quiet on a busy bank holiday weekend and a perfect base for local attractions.
