Liked: It was a lovely campsite that had everything you needed. There is a onsite cafe which is a bonus. Ideally situated near Bournemouth if you fancied a day of site.

Primitive grass tent campsite
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.

Primitive grass tent campsite
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.
