The campsite and grounds were well maintained with plenty of room to pitch. Part of the childrens playground was closed off while new equipment was being fitted. The showers had plenty of hooks for clothes a foldaway chair and rack for your toiletries, nice to see hairdryers free of charge and little stools for smaller children to reach the sinks. The shop stocked basic essentials. There is a small games room with 3 pool tables and 1 table tennis.
Blanford Forum is only about a mile away with walks along the river and a market on Saturdays.

We spent 5 enjoyable days at this site. Alwyn is diabetic, so we need to be near the toilet block, and booked accordingly. We were about 30 seconds from it! I wouldn't like to be at the far end of the field though, more than one car came down to the loos and desperate people jumped out and rushed inside!
This is a lovely site, with very friendly people. Most of the facilities were closed while we were there too - the three showers and two private sinks only - but it was so quiet it was fine.
My only gripe was the showers. For this time of year they perhaps weren't warm enough, you couldn't alter the temperature, and you had to press the button every ten seconds to keep them going, or lean with your back on the button - not possible if you don't want to wash your hair! It was nice they were free, but I personally would have preferred to pay 10p or 20p and have lashings of hot water for 5 minutes or so!
Generally a good time - I expect we will return and brave the showers again!

An excellent site for a family although it may not be the best site for a couple looking for a quiet break. The site is well maintained, the toilets clean and the staff were very friendly.
The shop opening times could perhaps been a little better. It opens 9am-7pm. A sign reports that the gates to the site are locked 10pm-7am so if you are at the pub for last orders expect to park in the late arrivals area.
Oh and watchout for the speed bump when turning into the site. It can catch you out the first time.

We went to this site camping for just for the one night and it was absolutely brilliant. Our pitch was huge and big enough for at least another 4 tents, it was secluded and surrounded by trees so you were unable to see any other caravans or campers. We will definatly be returning to this site and would highly recommend it to anybody.

We spent a week here and thoroughly enjoyed it. The pitches were spacious and it wasn't too crowded. Some of the tents were pitched on a slope but we were lucky enough to have quite a flat area for ours.
The washrooms and showers were quite a distance from our pitch but they had continuous hot water and were kept very clean.
The play area was a good size and our two children loved it! There was also plenty of space around our tent for them to play badminton and football.
There are 3 walks around the site through the woods around the farm which were very enjoyable,especially for the dog who found phesants and rabbits to chase! One of the walks wasn't very well marked but we were able to follow it with a little guess work and some help from the leaflet provided.
A mobile fish and chip shop visits the site on Weds & Sat nights. This was great as i didn't have to cook for a change on the Weds but the queue was quite long and we had to wait for about half an hour to be served.
The site also provides day kennels for hire which we used for a day at the cost of £6. The kennels are situated in a shady spot beneath the trees so our dog was comfortable there while we visited the Tank museum for the day.
On the whole we really enjoyed our stay at "The Inside Park" and will definitely be returning at sometime in the not too distant future.

This is an attractive site but as others comment, it is sloping and the toilets etc are quite a distance from the pitches. The pitches are a very generous size and we had plenty of space for the children to play. There were no trampolines when we visited and the farm tours/tractor rides do not operate every day, so if you are only there for a day or two, you could well miss them, as we did. The staff were friendly and we had an enjoyable weekend.

We visited the site this weekend and were impressed by the facilities, however, we found the space a bit tight (they were fully booked) and is definately for families. Not for the couples looking for a quiet break!

What a beautiful campsite, very picturesque. We've had a wonderful weekend, the weather was great which always helps. We would love to go back to this site but you do have to be careful where your pitch is especially if you have a tent, many of the pitches are on a slant and could result in rolling out of bed in the middle of the night!! The staff were very helpful and accommodating letting us choose which pitch was most suitable for our requirements. As we have a little boy (5) and 2 dogs we chose a lovely pitch at the top of the hill in between the play area and the dog walk, perfect! (although we did still roll to one side of the bed!) The pitch was much larger than those we have previously experienced which gave a nice sence of freedom.
The shop is good, the play area fantastic & suitable for older children not just the little ones. When we were there, there was a problem with the play equipment squeaking which the staff promised would be sorted soon, it only caused a problem after 9.30 when the younger children were trying to sleep and it did get a bit anoying.
The toilet block was clean with ample toilets, free showers with lovely hot water, private cubicles for washing and hairdryers, the only draw back was the distance from the pitch, not too bad though as long as you wern't desperate!
The woods and walks around the estate were wonderful, especially enjoyed by the dogs, we all wanted to stay longer.
Very good site for families, recommended.

Good clean facilities and adventure play area, helpful staff, picnic benches. Nice walks in the woods and farmland around the site. Lots of kids around but not too noisy.

We spent a week here with our two little girls last summer (1999) after a break from camping of 10 years!
What a pleasent suprise! this is an excellent site with superb wash facilities, childrens play area and lovely spacious pitches.
On the strength of this holiday we have been out and bought a new frame tent and intend to revisit the site again this year.
Bebb writes:
Just a comment. We stayed there for a couple of nights (1996) and found it pleasant. A bit of a walk to get to the facilities from some locations, but, I'd generally recommend it.
Angela adds:
I have just had a weekend at Inside Park as my first ever camping break! Excellent site with a brilliant play area for kids and several nice walks from the site. Dogs are allowed to. Facilities were clean and tidy although part of the shower block was closed off leaving just 3 showers for the whole female half of the site! Can be a bit of a walk to the facilities depending on where you are and a lot of the ground is sloping.
A beautiful site though with a lot of fabulous specimens of unusual trees (we were under a Walnut tree). Pitches are spacious and not regimented so there is room for manouvre. Will definitely be going back there again!
