This is the second visit to the inside park. Lovely surroundings, nice space between units, clean showers and toilets. Good facility's in all. Nice stocked shop, a little bit of everything you may need. Good lighting for midnight toilet visits. Although our children were to big for the playground, it looks fab, other children were certainly enjoying it. Had a lovely week. Thank you.
Spot on. All the staff very helpful but leave you in peace. Especially helpful when I locked my keys in the campervan (doh!). No worries with children making too much noise on the opposite it was nice to hear them playing!
Facilities were excellent and I thought the sizes of the pitches were great.
We spent three nights here, and had a fantastic time. We have two boys aged 9 and 8, and they really enjoyed playing on the playground and the footy pitch with the other children. We had pitch 18, right near the playground, which really suited us. The playground is shut at 9pm, so the noise dies down then! The facilities were excellent. Plenty of showers, ( 6 I think for ladies, presume the same for the men!). They were cleaned at 5. 30 am and lunchtime which was good. Washing up and laundry facilities good too. Well stocked shop and some nice walks to do around the site. Tesco nearby which is handy too! We had plenty of room on the pitch too. Would definitely go there again.
Stayed at Inside Park for three nights and overall were impressed. Nice, clean and quiet site.
Best bits - fabulous shower block, plenty of hot water and always clean. Good facilities for washing up, also a laundry if you need one.
Games room with table tennis and pool tables which looked handy for families. Also a park which looked like fun - didn't try it out as we're a bit old for that unfortunately.
Slight issues: overall, pretty pricey - we paid over £20 a night for a pitch with no hookup. Felt this was expensive in comparison with other sites we've stayed at. Also, charging 15p each for freezing ice packs seemed a bit penny pinching.
Having said that, the staff we're helpful and the shop pretty well stocked (some fresh bread would be a lovely addition!)
It's a 2. 5mile walk to Blandford Forum along a right of way (ask for a map). We walked in a couple of nights and there is a choice of pubs and places to eat. (also, handy list at the site shop of nearby pubs that do food which was good).
Overall, would recommend Inside Park, especially to families.
My family (2 adults and 2 Children, 6 and 8) went to The inside Park. The setting is beautiful with fantastic woodland walks. The son who booked us in was very welcoming and showed us to our pitch which was spacious(or so we thought). As people turned up we had less and less room and upon walking around the site we realised that the majority of pitches had lovely space but we were squashed in a corner with a few others. The week we were there we had a very inconsiderate family whom let there 3 young girls scream and perform until 10. 30 each night. This ruined the tranquil setting of listening to nature in the evening.

Lovely campsite on a gorgeous site! The park is situated on an old country estate, so it is a beautiful and scenic setting. There is an amazing kids play area, with a wide range of different playframes etc that you don't often see, and which keep the kids endlessly amused. Pitches are spacious, with plenty of room for fun and games, and most pitches have a combination of sun and shade to make things comfortable. You can also help yourself to picnic benches which are handy. The facilities and amenities are in an old 18th Century stable block, which in itself is a beautiful building, whilst offering all the mod cons. There are plenty of showers, toilets, washing up facilities, basins and a laundry. Also a games room, lots of tourist information, a handy shop, and ice block freezing available at a small charge. It's also only 5 minutes from Tesco. The ambiance is wonderful, everyone having a good time, the sound of children playing, and the other campers were lovely. We were rushing to put up our tent whilst thunder was threatening rain and our neighbours all helped us out, which was really nice, and really made us feel at home. There are great walks through the surrounding woods, which are obviously well-used by children, and beautiful. Many of the pitches have a slight slope, but there is enough room to place yourself at a good angle, and if there is any rain it should drain well. We loved it!
We stayed here for one night in July. Excellent site, will be going back. Great park for the kids. French feel to the campsite. They gave us a lovely spot and we were allowed to move the caravan to the late area for the day after we packed up as we wanted to visit Dorchester before heading off.
Have just spent two nights at this beautiful, relaxing campsite. I rang at this last minute and was made to feel welcome. On arrival I was shown to a non electric pitch in a spacious area with mature trees. Space and open vistas of trees and woodland all around meant that the sound of children and other campers were minimal. The toilets and showers were spotless and there was good washing up and laundry facilities. The shop had most things you would want or had forgotten. I had a relaxing stay and will come back to explore the woodland walks next time. Felt safe as lone traveller and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere of the campsite.
From the magical, wooded lane which leads to the site, to the warm welcome, the beginning of our stay made us feel immediately relaxed. The gorgeous site is within acres and acres of parkland, the trees are magnificent and immaculately cared for. Because there is so much space, there are areas for everyone. An exciting play-park, miles and miles of paths in the woods, a large area for dog owners, and all of it, intensely peaceful. Kids of all ages loved it. We love it. The facilities are lovely, clean and plenty of loos and showers, a great wash-up area, all these created in large old stable blocks, charming and again, super clean. Blandford Forum is a few miles away and it's a charming, handy town. The situation is very good for exploring all of Dorset. We will be back, again and again.
We spent the May bank holiday weekend at the inside park, and had a lovely time.
The setting is great, and layout works well, with pitches nicely spaced.
We had two tents in our party, and had two neighbouring pitches which worked well. There are picnic benches available which are easily moved to have them where you want them.
The facilities are clean and well kept, bins collected regularly. The staff friendly and helpful, and the shop well stocked. There are walks in the surrounding woodlands which we enjoyed, using the map given in the shop.
We did have stunning weather which helped, but had a truly relaxing and lovely time away.
It is well located, not too far from the coast if travelling by car, and easy access to Blandford town, where are plenty of shops.
We are currently pregnant, and hope to return with a family in the future, as it seemed a lovely safe campsite for children.

This seems to be that rare thing, a campsite set up as much as a 'labour of love' as a money-making enterprise. For instance, there are no static 'mobile homes' which so many campsites actively promote; also 12 showers for 120 pitches is a better ratio than we often find. It reminded us a bit of the Frech Chateaux chain - true there's no resuarant or pool, but the atmosphere's similar.
We chose it to be close to the North Dorset Trackway, a 17 mile railway converted for traffic-free walking and cycling through some lovely countryside. In fact there's a fairly level way to it from the site along quiet farm roads, though there's a few hundred metres link between the N and S sections of the Trailway that needs cycling along pavements next to busy roads.
As others have said, the site's perfect for primary-aged children, with lots of space to play and explore in an enclosed safe environment. Most people were in caravans or tents. Motorhomes are accepted, but we didn't see and hard standing, and there's no vertical drop for grey water.
We spent a very enjoyable Easter weekend here. The site itself is in a basin and so most of the pitches are sloping. It is well away from any roads and surrounded by woodland.
The faculties are kept very clean with plenty of toilets and showers and constant hot water. There are lots of washing up sinks, 3 washing machines and dryers and an ironing point.
For the children the play park is very well stocked (particularly for older children) and there is also a games room. The roads are gravel so not suitable for scooters but fine for bikes.
There are lots of on site walks for which a map is handed out on arrival so the dogs really enjoyed it as well (they can go off lead in the woods).
Full marks from us and we will definitely be going back.
The Inside Park is a gem in Dorset. Lovely park, pretty open in places, and some trees scattered around. One tree is the most amazing we have ever seen!
Pitches are fairly spacious, although electric hookup only serves one side of the main park near the play area (check when you book!). The play area itself is fantastic and a real selling point to those with children as the kids love running free. Accompanying the play park are two football goals, and plenty of green open space to throw a frisbee. At the back of the site is a wood that is open to walk in and play hide and seek! The wardens were very good at shutting the park at 9pm, although they were not so good at controlling the noise from campers after 11pm which seemed to be excessive from some units.
Facilities are pretty good too. Shop is small, but has the essentials and some toys for the kids as well as the usual confectionery. Site wardens are friendly and approachable and willing to help. Showers and washrooms were all clean and never a queue to use.
The site is actually a good half mile from the main road, so you suffer very little road noise. The other brilliant idea is that dogs have to stay one side of the park furthest away from the play area - very sensible and a great idea. It means that those with dogs are not around the play area. I have to say that the noise from dogs on site was frequent and some dog owners could not care less about the noise.
Some of the things we thought could be improved:
* Only one chemical waste point that we saw near the main entrance.
* Tougher stance on noisy campers after 11pm and noisy dog owners.
* Playroom near reception is poor - just a large open room with 3 pool tables (never in use so something obviously wrong, table tennis and a table football game not working. ) Such a great space and to me a wasted opportunity, surely could be a wonderful room for older kids - some arcade games, pinball tables, grab a teddy machine or something?
Overall, a fab little place, and one we look forward to returning to.
My wife and I have just spent 5 days on this gem of a campsite. The pitches are well spaced so that you don't feel crowded, the toilets and showers were always kept spotlessly clean, there is also a laundry room and a section for doing you dishes etc.
A nice play area for kids and plenty of walks for your dog. The site is within half an hours drive to Poole and only 26 miles from Weymouth, there is a local Tesco Extra within 2 miles, although there is a well stocked site shop if needed.
We found the site well looked after and would recommend the site to friends for a nice quiet place to relax, we would definitely like to return some time in the future.
We arrived at reception on a Sunday evening in August and was welcomed by a very pleasant lad who said he would show us to our pitch.
We hadn't booked in but this was a large site and no problem at being fitted in on spec.
We never had to queue for the toilets and showers. The showers are free. The toilets were being cleaned out at 6am before the main morning rush and restocked.
There is also a washing up area and a laundry area with washing machine and tumble drier.
There is a very good play park which was busy and enjoyed by children. At 9pm it was locked up and the noise of the children having fun soon quietened as they all went back to their caravans, campers and tents.
There is also a well stocked shop and a building with table tennis and pool table and wifi.
This is a tidy site and would be happy to visit again.
