 Lovely quiet campsite, the site was well cared for and divided into three main areas, on arrival we were met and shown to our pitch, we were allowed to change the pitch that had been allocated to one we preferred. The couple running the site were very friendly and helpful.
The facilities were a bit dated and the showers were 20p and a push button, which gave an annoyingly short burst of water before it had to be pressed again.
There were two ladies showers, three toilets and two wash basins, this seemed adequate for the site. The only downside for this site was the price, I felt it was far too expensive for the facilities available.

A fantastic campsite, peaceful, well maintained and run by a lovely couple, who cant do enough for you.
Just give them a call and they will get your van in position for you when you arrive, they run a very reasonable storage service as well.
I never want to go home when the time comes after spending a few day here.
I have spent time at bigger and supposedly better campsites but this is what it is all about, peace and quiet and beautiful surroundings!
Shops and pubs very near by and bus services easy to get to
I recommend Huntick Farm highly to anyone.

On arrival we went to the office and had a warm greeting, a little bit taken back on how much more we had to pay that was advertised on website, seems to be a bit pricey for what there is and all seems a bit dated and tired.
That said it was clean and well kept, grass was being cut as we arrived.
One issue we had was it didn't seem very kiddie friendly in respect to what they can and cant do, no ball games etc near tents and only to be played in the field opposite which from our pitch was not in eye line and with my wife being disabled this wasn't always an easy task!
We tried it but wont be back as we think its more suited for adults only.
But give it ago yourself to make your own minds up. Its a good base with good pubs near by.

A lovely, friendly, quiet site.
Stayed here for 3 nights in July. Welcome was warm and we had a mini lesson in reversing our caravan from the Warden which was great and much appreciated.
Facilities were clean. Just the two sinks for washing up but this didn't cause us a problem. Showers had a push button which could have done with a longer timer but water was hot and plentiful.
Kids enjoyed the two swings and were happy to play in the field and make their own entertainment.
Peaceful at night with the gentle sound of the owls.
Would definitely return.

We stopped here for one night and found that the welcome was warm and friendly. We were shown the site facilities that were clean and in good order.
This site is in a nice location with a tesco just down the road, the only let down was the fact you had to pay for a shower and this let the site down when it came to value for money, but on an up side there was free Wifi if needed.
We would stay again as an over night base.

We picked this site because they accepted the Daily Mirror 95p a night vouchers. We stayed for 6 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. The site is well located for Poole and Bournemouth and other towns such as Wimborne Minster.
The facilities are basic but serviceable, you have to pay 20p for a shower but we used the free one in our van. The site is very quiet and away from it all. We can't comment on value for money as it cost us £14 for 6 nights!
My biggest memory of the site is the constant bird song which includes a Tawny Owl at night. One of our past times is geocaching and it's quite well located for that as well.
You can cycle and walk from site, there are quiet lanes, bridleways and footpaths close by. We would certainly go back to the site although I am not sure I would want to pay the £15 a night standard charge.

We recently visited Huntick Farm Caravan site for a long week end. The site is set in beautiful countryside but the facilities are inadequate for the number of pitches. There were only two female showers and three toilets and the same for men. So as you can imagine there were inevitable queues for the facilities. We felt that the site charges were expensive especially as you then had to pay 20p for a shower! It could be a really nice site with some investment.

Peace & quiet, bird song, clean, tidy site with spotless toilet block & washup area. A very warm & friendly welcome from both the owners & managers, nothing is to much trouble for the team, if you have a problem they are always on hand to help, they always have time to have a chat. The pitches are well spaced so there is plenty of room.

Beautiful peaceful site! We made a last minute booking for the Bank Holiday and were lucky due to a cancellation. Plenty of space for tent, car and our son's 'basha'.
Good clean toilet and shower facilities.
Separate dog exercise area well away from campers. Children's games field. Friendly helpful owners. Saw deer in the nearby field early evening and a huge owl.
Great location for Poole, Bournemouth (free on street parking up by Alum Chine)and the Isle of Purbeck. Very reasonable rates.

Being in a tent we stood out like a sore thumb but there was no caravan snobbery on this quiet relaxed & very tidy site. Everyone was friendly & the owners were always available.
I dont understand the 'electric shock' comment below as Pat used the spin dryer ,which is free & a nice touch, & there was no problem.
As stated there is a village 1 mile up the road with a Tesco express with a cash machine, 2 pubs that have turned around, the Rose & crown is now the 'nice' pub which does excellent food,the Chequer is a bit on the dodgy side.
You are within 30 minutes drive of all the sightseeing & places to visit you could wish for.
The showers are 20p but are plenty long enough & have an excellent dry area for getting changed.
There is free hot water in sinks & for washing up.
Fresh water is from a stand pipe in the centre of the site but isn't far from anyone.
There is a chemical waste disposal point next to the toilet/shower block.
The pitch we had was well sheltered on 3 sides by established trees & kept all the onshore wind off the tent, the top of the site next to the entrance was a bit more exposed.
The actual field we were in had a very gentle slope down to one corner but not enough to be a problem & all the caravans were set up level.
There are a lot of long term vanners on this site so they must be doing something right to keep them there, I have to say though, they were a good crowd & friendly .
I don't know what the rules are but this site also has a rally field attached but I didnt have a look at it.
Although the access lane is narrow, it isn't very long so getting in & out isn't a problem.
I only had one small gripe, after setting up we were told we would have to pay for an awning as we had the Outwell porch fitted to the Hartford M, now this isn't the biggest tent in the world & as half of the porch is over the front of the tent (this is how its attached) it only gave us 4 foot of extra space but there were caravans with full awnings which doubled there foot print paying the same.
Anyway that is a minor gripe & I hope I don't turn up again to find I'm barred because I would definitely return to this site & if I have to, pay the extra ;-) .
