Ideally situated to explore Dorset and Hampshire, Shamba Holidays appeals to country lovers and young families who wish to enjoy the host of attractions that the local area has to offer.
Shamba is a family orientated site. We encourage families to the site to enjoy the play area, indoor/outdoor swimming pool and the recreation field with football pitch. There is a clubhouse, where we offer a selection of reasonably priced meals and drinks. We also operate a small shop where you will find lots of local produce along with sweets, drinks, ice creams, bread and papers as well as kids' toys, postcards and magazines.
Dogs are welcome on the site, but there is no evidence of them being here apart from the plentiful dog bins provided! The dog walk field encourages plenty of wildlife and wild flowers for you to enjoy, and it is not unusual to spot the odd deer on the site! The toilet facilities include baby changing facilities, underfloor heating and gentle piped music. Also available is a family bathroom with bath. We have been awarded 5* Loo of the Year for the last six years.
Nearby attractions and activities
The New Forest is less than three miles away - a great place to explore on foot, bicycle, car or horseback and with many picturesque villages and market towns worth a visit.
Bournemouth and Poole with its many shops and sandy beeches and restaurants are only a short drive away.
Moors Valley Country Park with its play areas, model steam train, adventure play trail, golf course and fishing make a very worthy day out.
Paultons Park is just a 20 minutes car ride off junction 2 on the M27, with Peppa Pig World opened in 2011.
Adventure Wonderland is opposite Bournemouth Airport; discount tickets are available to purchase from reception.
There's so much to do in the area you'd be mad not to come and stay!

Perfect for families, Highly recommended, clean friendly site tonirobd (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos)
Liked: The pool on the site is excellent, the site is an ideal distance from poole and bournmouth so have the choice of both beaches. Disliked: Site is on a dual carriage way, there is a short road off the dual carriage way that leads to the site. This being said you dont get alot of noise from the road on the site and the site is more positive than negative.
From the manager...
We are glad that you and your family enjoyed your stay with us and look forward to your return |

Liked: The friendly staff, everywhere was spotlessly clean, choice of washroom facilities with small children. The pool and suberb family changing rooms. Fenced play area for children. The camp site was set back from the road. Loads to do in half term with children at various venues and good value for money. Would definately visit again in warmer weather. Disliked: The weather, but i couldn't book that! |

An enjoyable break cwcarolynbowers (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos)
Liked: Safe site for the children to play, The staff are always happy to help. The toilet blocks were brilliant, warm & clean. Had the swimming pool to ourselves most of the time. Restaurant/take away food and site shop was reasonably priced. Nice size dog walk area. Disliked: Not really a dislike - more of a grumble. |

excellent in every way!!!! kandg120 (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos)
Liked: Everything! The staff here pride themselves on perfection and it shows. From the site pitches to the toliets. We came here on probably one of the wettest weeks this year and no matter when you went into the toliets, showers, washrooms or anywhere else they were spotless. The swimming pool was very good, clean and warm. The staff were very friendly and good with the children. Disliked: There was no dislikes but if I had to find one then it would have to be that there was no WIFI. But then again that`s not a dislike. |
