This was our first visit to this site, a recommendation from a friend that had visited earlier in year. We found the receptionist very polite and helpful giving good directions as to where you could pitch the tent. The facilities were clean and site cleared daily of rubbish etc. As with all large camp sites it could do with more showers, but these worked well and were kept clean. Good facilities for washing up. Pool was quite cold, our week holidaying was just as the hot snap decided to break, so could have done with pool being hotter.
The staff were friendly and cafe/shop fairly well stocked, good to offer hot food ie burgers and chips, saves cooking and washing up! our son loved the wooded areas for biking, as did a lot of other children on site.
We will definately be visiting in 2004. It was nice being able to pitch (if wanted to) amongst the trees.

We are the new owners! We originally owned a 5 star, David Bellamy Gold Award, quiet Family Park in Cornwall. We are obviously very disturbed to read some of the reviews on this web site, and would like to update everyone about the Park.
The main concern appears to be, quite rightly, the poor unfriendly reception our guests may have received in the past on the Park. The people in question have recently left the Park. The atmosphere and friendliness on the Park has improved dramatically, and we want to offer a tranquil family park with quality facilities (free hot showers and soap!) We would welcome any more up to date reviews and comments, to help us make the park a relaxing place for you all (campers included) to enjoy your holidays.

Just returned from a lovely week at this site. Lots of bad reviews which I think may be directed at previous owners. New owners since March 2003 and we found the site to be very clean and the staff very friendly. The shop had a limited selection due to the time of year, but there was fresh bread available in the morning.
This is a fabulous location with easy access to the forest and lovely food is available at the pub down the road, we will definitely go back.

Well, after having booked at this site and then reading the comments, I was a little nervous. However, we had a great experience here.
The ownership changed in March 2003, and they have apparently made some changes - showers are free (used to cost 20p a go) etc. We found the staff friendly, and our big fat tent, 2 card and 2 dogs were welcomed - the person who booked us in came over and had a chat about the dogs (he's a Springer fan too).
As a dog owner, this site is great - 5 minutes and you're walking through the forest, with a great walk up to an old iron age hill fort - lovely views.
The heated pool is still rather cold, but the good facilities for washing up, ironing, drying clothes etc are great. I guess as a first time user of a 5 star site, I may be dazzled by the facilities - maybe they all have this stuff these days.
Kids adventure playground thing is good too.

Have just returned from a four night break at this site. Visted last year and the site is now under new management. Can already see some improvements - no more 20p charge for the showers - but this site is still missing the X factor despite its great location. It's not particularly friendly there and there was no soap in the ladies toilet/shower block throughout our whole stay! Shop is only open for two hours a day and isn't well stocked - no fresh bread in the mornings. We were visited by a mouse one night and heard that other people also had similar visits! All in all its nice enough there but I wouldn't recommend it as there are plenty of other sites in this area. In fact we walked to Birchwood campsite one night, as it's just next door, and that seemed pretty nice so may try there next time.

We stayed there a couple of years or so ago, and had no complaints. It's a big site , and geared towards kids around the pool, so it depends what you like. The people running the site were okay with us, although we were in the caravan at the time - unfortunately it does appear that 'tenters' are not treated equally on some sites.There's a café on site which sells things like chips and burgers , and a reasonably well stocked shop. Plenty of electric hookups and quite good facilities , although depending where you are on the site these can be quite a walk.Regarding the location , it's too far to walk into Wareham (especially if you have kids) but a taxi is not too expensive. There's a good pub down the road , but beware the road is very dark at night, and cars tend to go quite fast down it. Take a torch?!There's loads to do and see in the area , we were lucky enough to catch the Viking weekend in Wareham - lots of dressing up and a huge burning Viking Boat one evening.

We really liked this site and was warmly received by the receptionist on a bank holiday weekend. She noticed we had a small child and went out of her way to find us a nice pitch for our tent which was shaded and close to the facilities. I liked the idea of the playground being in the middle of the field away from the tents - far enough not to hear all of the noise but close enough to keep an eye on the children. Also liked the games room and the fact there was no clubhouse. We did not encouter anyone that was unfriendly. Thought the area was outstanding particularly all the little villages dotted about the Purbeck Hills. Wareham is a very nice town and there is a Queen Anne House in the middle of the High Street which is owned by an artist who sometimes has open days to show his work - because I shared his interest he invited me to look at his studio which was very interesting.
