Date of Visit: October 2026 Unit:  Motorhome
Nights stayed: 2 Travelling as:  Mature couple
Reviewer: Doulajulie 85 reviews from this member

 Lovely location close to steam railway. Immaculate site with modern well designed facilities.

A 1 hr walk takes you to Corfe and Swanage is around 1 1/2 hr walk, or a 15 minute walk to the bus which runs every hour. Motorhomes can park in the Swanage coach park. Price varies depending on season.

Note that we could not get any meal delivery to site. (Masala used to deliver but no longer).

Site is peaceful after hours but weekdays from 8am there is noise from the Quarry.

Reviewer: Hollybabes 12 reviews from this member

 Not quite as good as it used to be. Wardens hardly ever seen and other campers agreed.

All screens up and curtains closed in their compound making it even impossible to report the mess in the ladies one evening.

Grassy areas and wildlife areas v scruffy and old dog walk most dangerous. Has never been properly levelled since renovations.

Just doesn't have the feel it used to.

However still a fabulous area, with excellent facs, but now all sites have 9 to 5 wardens and lo behold you if you need them after that!

 Paradise in Purbeck

First visit in six years due to the high prices but with the refurbishment we had to give it a try and weren't disappointed.

Fabulous new facilities block and we stayed on a fully serviced pitch with good WiFi and TV reception.

Lovely wardens who kept the site SPOTLESS. So much to do in the area with easy access to Swanage, Corfe castle, Studland, Tyneham, Lulworth Cove, Poole via the ferry.

Steam train from Harmans cross station is a must do. Experience was so good we booked for next year before we left.

Just wish the prices were lower in the summer so could spend more time here.  

Even so before we left we booked for the same time next year.

Reviewer: Crazy Maisie 68 reviews from this member

 A welcome from the warden on our arrival and then informed of all location references on the site map but not provided with same site map! CMC no longer giving them out. The pitches are spacious and level. It's a peaceful 'off the beaten track' location with steam and diesel railway station a short walk away.

The facilities were newly upgraded and spotless and so was the site. But as per other upgraded sites CMC sites there is no upper shelf and no coat hooks in the washing up /laundry room.

There was a site map on the door of the info room but it was too high and too small to read in that location and there was insufficient local info about bustops and times. The Wifi was OK. Maps were available of footpaths for surrounding area at £4 each.

The wardens were willing and helpful. The office/shop stock some food and other essentials.

Car park in Swanage caters for motorhomes £9 for up to 4hrs.

 Had 4 nights here at this lovely quiet site. The facilities are new and always clean and the wardens very polite and helpful.

Had a lovely large hardstanding pitch, all which had been refurbished, and were mostly all flat.

Free wifi OK, TV and 4G signals were good.

Caught the train into Swanage, a pretty seaside resort, and had a couple of cycle rides to Corfe castle and to a pub at Worth Mactravers.

Would recommend

Reviewer: Jonesy103 7 reviews from this member

 As has already been noted this is a small site and yes, the toilet/ shower block might be a little dated (something the wardens will also point out) but they really aren’t as bad as some folks are making out. OK they don’t have underfloor heating or piped music but they are more than adequate for this site 😂.

Nice views of the Purbeck hills from the site especially the upper part, the site is quiet and the pitches are nice and level and the wardens are knowledgeable and helpful.

I quite liked the owl waking me up in the middle of the night 😉

It’s a great location and a short walk down to the steam railway heritage line between Swanage and Corfe castle which provided us with two great days out.

It's no surprise that this site always appears to be fully booked.

Reviewer: Hollybabes 12 reviews from this member

 Site not as tidy as usual. I know it was No Mow may, but still in Mid June, very scruffy with groundsman doing little each day it seems! The usual wardens were on holiday and Oh how the site missed them!

Showers as usual awful but due to be rectified it seems. Do not put super pitches on this site, this will backfire, people will not pay for them here. Lovely owls and nature all around.

Facilities awash, (not from the showers this time) after every cleaning and very very dangerous. Also the brickweave in front of showers needs sorting NOW, not next year after someone has fallen.

Might try somewhere else next year as Andie and Ali won't be there

Reviewer: Royale610 3 reviews from this member

 A really pleasant welcome from the warden on my arrival.

All the relevant information about the site and given a choice of pitches.

The facilities were spotless and so was the site.

The office/shop stock some essentials.

Maps were available of footpaths into both Swanage and Corfe.

Both start within a short walk from the site.

I’d certainly return to Haycraft.
