We visited this site in mid-July having booked for 4 nights the previous day at a rate of £18. 50 per night including EHU and taking advantage of the ‘senior person’ early/mid season discount(!).
We don’t normally opt for EHU but there was only a semi-serviced pitch available and the price was less than we had paid during the previous 2 weeks without it. It was before the school holiday period but as this site only caters for adults of 16+ it was not really relevant but they do allow children visiting between 10am and 6pm.
We were met at reception by the very friendly staff and Hayley walked us to the pitch and shower/toilet/laundry block and apologised that it hadn’t yet been cleaned that day. It was spotless! There are a total of 31 pitches spread over 3 areas each formed by trees and hedges and backing onto field and woods.
We collected our classic 1970’s VW Camper from reception and parked up and erected the awning on our spacious pitch which faced south and west so ready for the evening sun. The next item on the agenda was to enjoy a nice shower having been unable to bring ourselves to use the facilities on the site we had stayed in the previous day. What bliss!
We found the phone signal (O2 in our case) and free Wifi very reliable on our pitch and it is reported to be available throughout the site.
The site is perhaps a little remote if on foot but within easy driving distance of the Poole/Bournemouth areas to the east and Wareham/Studland/Swanage areas to the south and many charming villages and small towns in between and to the north and west. We enjoy walking and taking advantage of local buses, tending to leave the Camper on site.
This not only saves problems packing up the camper and finding parking each day but also allows us to see so much more on the top deck as we are driven to our destinations.
We found a nice mile long walk through the woods to Lytchett Minster from where we could catch regular buses to Poole and Swanage, and points in between, and further afield.
There is a very nice ‘Craft Centre’ with a number of local Artisans offering their wares, and with some demonstrating their skills, along with a nice tea room, a mile from the site although this did entail a walk along a not-too-busy road but without any pavements. Obviously not a problem for those driving.
On one of our walks we went through another caravan and camping site in Lytchett Minster that appeared to be nicely kept but comprised row upon row of caravans and motorhomes, and a few tents, all rather close together and it made us appreciate even more the joys of the Huntick Farm site.
We attended the local Lytchett Minster and Upton Carnival on the Saturday along with what must have been almost the entire population of those villages and enjoyed the procession of floats and bands, etc. , and various displays for the grand cost of £1 including the catalogue. Something not to missed for any future people visiting when the carnival is on.
Huntick is a site to which we will definitely be returning in the future.
In the hectic end of May bank holiday and half term school break this place is an adults only oasis. Quiet, restful and friendly. The surroundings are a large paddock and 2 smaller ones with wooded areas.
The facilities were of a good standard, modern and clean. BE AWARE though as children are allowed to visit from 10am-6pm. So it is not a true adult only site.
In fact we were surprised to find a lone child scootering up and down the pathways at 9. 30pm! AND in the early morning the same child in pyjamas on her scooter again by the shower block! Obviously having stayed the night.
Apart from the lack of policing of the rules we found this site and the wardens 1st class.
We spent a week at this campsite last year. It was lovely, new toilet block/washrooms etc.
Laundry facilities & wash up space. So we went again this year, what a shame the loos were not cleaned during the week, one toilet out of order in the ladies and one urinal blocked up in the mens. The pong was not nice.
Also the hedges between the fields, had not been trimmed and stinging nettles were four feet high. I can only think they must have a problem with staff, but we will not be going back again.
We picked this site for our summer holiday purely on the location, giving access to all the areas of Dorset we love to visit. We have in previous years camped in Purbeck, which is lovely, but you have 20 minutes drive just to get anywhere. No such issue here, so many places readily accessible.
Site easy to find on decent sized roads, with a fair sized place to park up and go to reception. Fabulous welcome, from our laid back hosts. Really relaxed feeling on site, yet nothing is too much trouble. Service very much with a smile.
On site facilities are fantastic. 3 decent sized showers, hair dryer, 2 sinks and 3 toilets. All kept immaculately clean.
The covered dishwashing area and laundry facilities were also kept very clean and tidy.
The pitches are a fair size, well laid out, flat and not over crowded.
We absolutely adore this site, it is an absolute gem, it's one of those places where you don't really want to shout too much about it because you want to keep it your secret so it maintains its magic. We love it so much, we have booked again for 2018.
We booked in here for a few days rest after going to a festival. We were greeted warmly and shown to our pitch which was an ample size - there was no crowding.
Facilities inspection first - it was obvious that there had been a recent upgrade, they were very clean and again very spacious. 3 showers and 3 toilets in the ladies, good facilities in the gents (as reported by my other half). There is also a private unisex bathroom with shower, toilet, basin and baby change.
This would be suitable for elderly and disabled people - the only criticism is that there is a lip to the door which would be difficult to get over if in a wheelchair (this facility has not been marketed as being for disabled though). As this site seems to attract a wide age range, the older person may wish to have more privacy and use the unisex facilities.
Rain was forecast so we used our awning which prevented us driving out, so we took a taxi into Poole. This was £15 each way, so trips away would be expensive if no other means of transport. There is an hourly bus from Lytchett but it is not reliable.
There is about a mile walk into Lytchett but we did not take it because it rained and there was not a footpath along the road.
Free wi-fi is available but we did not use it as we have our own.
We cannot comment on the child friendliness as mine are all grown up, but my daughter when young, would have loved the swing and woodland beside the campsite.
We would return and have several friends to whom we will recommend.
Set in 15 acres of breathtaking countryside,right next door to the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, this site offers stunning views of the Chesil Bank, Fleet Lagoon, and Lyme Bay. Welcoming tents, motorhomes and caravans, this family friendly site offers spacious grass pitches with or without electric. For kids there's an outdoor heated swimming pool, 3 acre playing area including slides, swings and more.
Facilities include toilets, showers, washing up, launderette, and WifI. There is an onsite shop and off-licence. The Bar in the Barn at the site serves a delicious food and offers a variety of entertainment, including live music. As well as the attractions of Weymouth's beach and harbour, this is a great base to explore family attractions throughout South and West Dorset. Find out more here
We spent a few days at this site and received a friendly welcome and were shown our pitch and water points and facilities.
The grass pitches are spacious. The showers and toilets are housed in 2 portacabins, with plenty of hot water from the push button showers. Facilities are very basic but clean.
The site is very quiet and peaceful, and local to Poole and Wimborne Minster.
My wife and I wanted a nice peaceful friendly site to put our van through the summer. What a gem we found in Huntick Farm. Run by very friendly folk who cannot do enough for you.
The site is basic with clean functional toilet block and washing up facilities and is well maintained.
The site is positioned within a short distance of all of Dorset's treasures so is the perfect base for our country weekend retreat.
I booked this site after reading some very positive reviews. What a fabulous site. Very quite and relaxing, lovely surroundings, no unit was intrusive, kept well apart. We loved the fact that the children had their own space in another field, (even though there was no children on site when we were there).
Dog friendly as well. Where ever you wanted to go in Dorset, this is the ideal base to be at. The people are so friendly there as well. Our dog had an accident at Poole harbour on the viewing platform, he cut his feet on the platform, even though it did not say 'unsuitable for dogs'. We told the camp site and warned them and to tell other dog owners, they went one better and reported it to the council.
We would recommend this to anyone who loves a bit of piece and quite and we would most definitely go there again.
We stayed here for two nights (Friday & Saturday) in late June whilst performing at Poole Folk on the Quay festival. The campsite is in a quiet rural location. We chose it as being not far to drive to Poole.
The site is on a quiet lane, but down a short drive. We heard no traffic noise at night. The site is flat, with well maintained short grass, and hedgerows & trees around the edges. We experienced heavy rain overnight, but the fields drain well and were not at all muddy. The ground was soft and easy to put tent pegs into. Most visitors seem to be caravans or campervans, and there are pitches with or without power. It was a novelty to have free Wifi in our tent.
The pitches are very generous in size, and arranged around the field perimeter. Our field was almost full during our visit, but it felt very spacious. There are sunny and shady pitches, although if one had a preference it should probably be stated on booking.
The facilities block was very clean and smart. It looked quite new, and was very well maintained. Showers were free, with push button control and copious hot water. Indoor washing up area was likewise very clean.
The owners were very friendly and helpful. Price is per pitch and depends on tent size. We paid £13 a night for two people in a large tent. Our friend paid £10 for one person in a small tent. We thought the site was very good value, and wouldn't hesitate to come back.
Huntick Farm is a beautiful, small, peaceful campsite and the owners are very friendly and helpful. The toilet / shower block however is tired and in need of renovation, however it was kept clean by the owners.
There are three fields in which to camp on, free wifi, a dog walking field and a paddock for the children to play in. The children's paddock is however out of sight from the tent / caravan areas and as children are not allowed to play around the tents / caravans this could be a negative for people with smaller children.
We felt that the campsite is vastly over priced for the facilities on offer (toilet / shower block needing renovating, lack of things for the children to do i. E no play area other than an open field and two little swings).
It's such a shame as the campsite is lovely, but it's not good value for money.
Therefore because of this we are only able to give an overall rating of 5/10.
