Family-owned site in the small village of Parley Green, Dorset
A 15-minute drive from Christchurch and Bournemouth town centres
Riverside location by the Stour; a mile from Adventure Wonderland

Parley Court Camping is a family-run site in Dorset that’s 15 minutes' drive from two stunning seaside towns. Whether you're after strolls around the priory and boating trips in Christchurch or fancy the sandy beaches, pier and bright lights of Bournemouth, staying at Parley Court Camping means you can get there in a matter of minutes. The site is also an easy quarter of an hour's drive from the western edge of the New Forest National Park. Parley Court Camping makes a great base for anyone coming to this part of the world for the annual Bournemouth Air Festival; at other times of year it's a short distance from Bournemouth Airport and is a mile from an aviation museum where you can sit in the cockpit of vintage planes. This relaxed site is small in scale and has a fairly back to basics approach to camping, but toilet and shower facilities are available. It's also possible to fish on site from the riverbank (contact Ringwood & District Anglers Association in advance for a licence). Set on the edge of Parley Green, this site is about a mile and a half from Hurn, where there is a post office and access to gorgeous Sopley Common nature reserve. For everything else, head to either Christchurch or Bournemouth, where there are plenty of supermarkets, restaurants, independent shops and big brand stores.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Quiet friendly site. Good enough facilities. Small shop and bar / cafe in golf centre.

Disliked: The only drawback was the distance from the car park to the pitches. There were good trolleys, but I’d rather have my car next to the tent.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: pitch level

Disliked: 1- noice of machines and airport 2- bathrooms and shower-rooms were not clean for the first 4 days of our staying then the staff start cleaning them when more people came to the camp at the weekend, when we were al reading moving out. 3- The price should be less if we compare it with other camp facilities

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: 1) We clearly advertise that we are next to an airport and part of a working farm, inherently there will be some noise in the background. 2) The facilities are continually cleaned throughout each day , you can see this from the numerous comments left by previous customers. They would indeed be cleaned more frequently as the number of people on site dictates 3)The price is a very fair price for what we offer. You have given a low score for accommodation, this is provided by you as it is your tent and equipment. What suggestions might you have for child friendliness,? we are always happy to try and improve things You fail to mention you asked to extend your stay as per your email below Hi, I would like to check if we can extend our stay for one day ? Please let me know Thanks Oday If you had any issues while you were here we would happily have addressed them.
