Despite the torrential rain for 30 hours my party had an awesome time. The facilities were clean and tidy with plenty of hot water and I never had to queue for a shower. The games room was great for the kids and the bar served nice cold beer and entertainment was laid on. The swimming pool was clean and provided several hours of wet fun (in the rain). My only complaint was the price. it is rather more than what I would normally pay.
We visited Beacon Hill over the August bank holiday weekend. My Wife, 2 young children and I were in a tent and the friends we went with were next to us in a touring caravan.
When we arrived at the site, the staff had no clue what was going on and had no record of the booking we had made two months earlier. Initially, the manager informed us that they would not be able to fit us in, but when we pressed him, he said he would cancel someone else, which made us feel guilty. I doubt very much that another booking was cancelled, as I will explain later. The staff, including the manager were all very young, mid teens to mid twenties and although very polite, were not at all organised.
After about 45 minutes, we were offered a minute pitch, surrounded on all sides by other campers, and right next to the shop. The second pitch we were offered had no electric hook up, not much use! The third pitch that we were shown was at the very back of the site and to be fair was perfect. I think that we were EXTREMELY lucky to get this pitch, as the rest of the site was absolutely crammed, with virtually no space between campers. If we hadn't obtained this pitch, I think we would have left after one night.
The setting for the site amongst a woodland is very nice. However, the facilities are very tired and in need of modernisation. The pool was guarded by a round the clock army of unsupervised teenagers. The shower blocks were dirty and the toilets were at times unusable. The games room was quite good for the kids, other than there was again no adult supervision and therefore the teenagers were in my opinion a little too wild. The bar is next door to the games room and I guess this is where most of the parents were. The bar itself was like a late 70's working mens club.
I do feel a little guilty for being so critical of the site, as we did have a good time, but this was purely due to the fact that we were right on the very edge of the site, on a nice secluded pitch. I am sure that when the site is less busy, it could be very nice. However, my perception it that this site is in need of modernising, more regular cleaning and just a few staff around to keep things in order. We will not be going back.
A smashing site. One of the best my wife and I have visited. Set in beautiful woodland surroundings, with buildings merging into the greenery, rabbits galore!
The campsite shop is equipped with all your essentials, and a few luxuries besides. The bar is friendly and quite small but the pints are cheap and the entertainment is superb. If you can't get a seat, the music is loud enough to hear down by the catering van (who serve well cooked food at bargain prices.).
We arrived and were greeted by the Beacon Hill Touring Park Warden and his wife, they were very friendly and gave us a warm welcome and gave us the correct directions for Reception. The staff were very young in reception but they were organised and had a good grip on the insuing chaos. The games room is well equipped for kids and is strangely located above the shop.
There are two shower blocks with a good supply of hot water, showers, hand basins and toilets, all very well maintained by Jeff the Warden. Everything is kept meticulously clean by Sandra, Jeffs wife, and her team
Complete with pool and tennis courts and beautiful walks up to the view point right at the top of Beacon Hill, with truly magnificent views of Poole bay, this is the perfect holidaying place. To sum it all up a fantastic park, well run by two smashing Wardens who are a credit to themselves and made our weeks stay ever more enjoyable.
Definitely worth a visit, if you have any queries while you are there ask for Jeff and the situation I believe will be resolved. I'm taking my wife back ther for another week in august as a surprise anniversary gift, as she enjoyed her time there so very much. Well done all at Beacon Hill Touring Park, Keep up all the good work.
If you get there when it is not too busy, you can choose your own pitch. We were lucky - but in the last few days the site filled up, so lack of choice and quite crowded, tents quite close together. Lots of different areas, some sun, some shade. Being a wooded site, some pitches may have wood ants - we seemed to have a number of earwigs. Plenty of drinking water taps and waste water areas.
The fishing lakes were very popular with children and the men. Pool very nice and clean - take your own chair along. The play area is suitable for younger children. Plenty of quiet roads for children to cycle.
We didn't try the games room facilities, cafe or bar. However, my brother did try out the bar/club and said it had a good atmosphere. The on-site shop is small and has a very limited stock. There is a big Tescos and Lidls a couple of miles away.
The ladies shower block near reception were reasonably clean and tidy. There were washing cubicles too. The facilities at the other end of the site had shower curtains, not doors - not so private and rather shabby.
All in all, we had a good holiday, a nice pitch and enjoyed the convenience of fishing on site. We love this area, lots of beaches nearby and places to visit.
August 2005 We (me, hubby & four kids) spent 3 nights here just before the bank holiday weekend and arrived when it was fairly quiet, being offered a choice in where we wanted to pitch. We tried to pitch in the middle of the wettest day in August but drainage was good and we were a good distance from any other tents. I would say, however, that by the time we left on the Saturday they were packed in and it was therefore not quite so private!
There were two toilet / shower blocks, with the ones nearest the shop being the better of the two but I was still a bit disappointed in the quality. The floors were muddy, shower curtains a bit tatty and the grout / windows etc were a bit grubby. Saying that, the sinks and toilets themselves were clean.
The shop was fairly well stocked though was below the games room and therefore smely a bit smoky. Staff were reasonably pleasant.
The swimming pool looked a bit grubby so we didn't use it and I didn't see any evidence of others using it despite the following days of hot weather.
There was a play area for the kids which was safe and reasonably well stocked. The clubhouse had reasonable entertainment which went on til 11 but was far too small for the number of people there by the weekend.
A bit of road noise as well.
All in all not a bad site (I think it was 2 star having lost one of its stars from last year) but I wouldn't return as I am a bit fussy with my ablution standards! Bit pricey too.

August 2005 Second time visitor. Great big site although it does not feel too big as it is set in different secluded fields, set in woodland. Ideal area for Poole / Weymouth. Pitch size is variable as they seem just to find a space for you. Although it is very busy it never seems to cramped.
Facilities are clean. Staff are friendly. Shop caters for most and takeaway and bar are as you would like.
When ever we go down to that area we will book this site again.
August 2005 A lovely, picturesque site with good facilities and a wide range of on-site activities. Would recommend however its double the normal price that we pay for a campsite with similar facilities and I'm not sure I can see the justification for it. But saying that, would use again.
July 2004 This is a Fantastic place... Great people, Great facilities. Everything you want and need close by. We loved it here and would certainly go again. The bar was fantastic. It had great entertainment. The staff are all very helpful and friendly. There are loads to do for the kids as well. The shop has got what you would need. There's no cash machine on site, but there's a fuel station and 24 hour tesco very close by. There is just nothing bad to say about this campsite. Always clean and warm water in the showers. The beach is quite a drive away, but it's super when you get there. It was rather busy when we got there, but it was no problem what-so-ever. I did have a accident in the outside pool (someone jumped ontop of me) Everyone was very helpful and I was taken away by ambulance. This was the first accident in I think 10 years. The oly thing was they say the poole is heated, but it's not really as heated as you would have thought, but it's good when your in :-)
August 2004 We visited the campsite on the August bank holiday & the campsite was almost full, Our group consisted of 1 tent, 5 Adults aged 23 -24 staying for a total of 2 nights this cost us £225. We were asked to pay a behavioural bond of £30.00 each as a deposit. Beware of the extra deposit charges they're not always mentioned. The shop only accepts cash/cheque & doesn’t always stock the basic necessities but that’s not a problem as there’s a local supermarket about 5 -10 mins in a car. We ate from the takeaway & found the food to be good & averagely priced, the food served is the same as your local chip shop. They did have jacket potatoes on the menu but we didn’t try them. The shower / toilets weren’t very clean but we put that down to the campsite being full & the fields being muddy. The site itself was very pleasant, we had an area next to a few trees which helped shelter us from some of the rain. We didn’t use the swimming pool so I’m unable to comment. The people we spoke to had used the site previously & had returned which is always a good indication, However I don’t think we would use the campsite again until I’ve tried other campsites in the area.
August 2004 Dog, 3 adults, 4 kids stayed in 2 tents and a gazebo at this site and had a great (if wet) time. The costs did mount up a lot though. We were told where to pitch, although if we hadn't liked it I think we could have changed. The ground was stony towards the front of the pitch, but ok elswhere. We should have gone back nearer the bushes.
The people in the shop/reception were young, but very helpful, my 5yr old went and got the milk every morning with no probs. The site is very large, but seems smaller due to it being split into lots of small fields cut into the surrounding heath. Our field was one of the two dog fields, near the pub, and did get busy at the weekend - a fair number of motorhomes turned up Friday. Fishing on the lake was fun, and easy, with rods for hire at reception. Near to beaches at Poole and Bournemouth, and to the New Forest.
Toilets clean, didn't visit pub, excellent cheap takeaway. Good dog walk through woods behind tent. Did have two arcade rooms in which to lose children. Swimming pool cold, but clean.
Generally a good site, I think it might have been quieter if we were further away from the pub, the singing at night was loud, but stopped about 10.30, but then we were near the toilets! Would reccommend this site for sure.

August 2004 Wow! having just returned from a great week at this site I dont know where to start. Location is great for east or west Dorset! The site itself is better described as a series of clearings in a wood as opposed to a field surrounded by woods. The whole area was just peace and tranquility. The Deer, Rabbits and other wildlife were superb. The ground was a little undulating but We had a large tent and a gazebo so the area we covered was substantial. There was no set area which we had to remain within which was great for us!
The site was clean and well kept. The pool was good but could have done with a lifeguard or someone with authority to maintain order as the teenagers were a bit rowdy at times. Showers were HOT! The ablutions were good and clean! The Staff were very welcoming and friendly! For such a young group they dealt with many situations in a manner not belying they're years! The "no Ball games" rule is a casual thing and is left to individual groups to police! The children with and around us had a good time without affecting everyone else!
The shop had all the basic needs covered. The bar and takeaway were highly recomended by the people we spoke to but we didn't try them so no direct comment! Excellent place! And a jewel if you can get in there! 8/10
July 2004 Visited this camp site 10 years ago and nothing seamed to have changed. The facilities are still small for the amount of visitors, needs to be updated too. The shop on site is very expensive and the entertainment at the club wasnt very good, but the prices of drinks were not bad. Ideal place to stop if your visiting Poole as its only 3 miles away. Friendly staff though.
July 2004 Friendly site with nice swimming pool, two small lakes for fishing and take away (mostly burgers etc.)We visited during a peak holiday weekend and the site was very crowded. The toilet blocks were inadequate for the number of visitors, dirty and often without paper. The chemical disposal sites were primitive. We were disappointed with the facilities especially at the prices charged.
June 2004 good site for children (ours are 11 and 7).... plenty of space. 2 parks. swimming pool..... only criticism - the toilet, shower blocks could do with more regular cleaning.
May 2004 We visited over the very busy May Bank holiday weekend. You can't book over the phone or internet, only by printing out their online form and sending it. I phoned to check availability, and was given 'revised' prices. Good points: Very friendly site, feels very secure and safe, attractive with trees and 2 small lakes for fishing. Pitches are a good size, and there is an inexpensive takeaway (burger and chips etc). The tracks around the site are very twisty, so traffic is very slow and it feels safe to let the children run about freely. Bad points: Hmmm well it may have been a busy weekend but at those prices the showers and toilets could have been a lot cleaner. The shop had hardly anything in it at all, all weekend. Quite a few 'Out of order' signs around too. Overall this is a nice site but expensive, and seems in need of some tidying up and refurbishment.
