From the manager: Thank you for leaving us a review, we are pleased you enjoyed camping within the trees.

Liked: A well equipped shop and beautiful surroundings made this a very pleasant stay. Facilities were clean and never got overly busy. Ability to hire a fire pit is always a plus, and the campsite was a nice hike away from Corfe Castle. Site is also an absolute wildlife haven, we saw an owl in the wild for the first time ever, right above our tent! It also has beautiful dark skies so definitely bring a telescope!

Disliked: Timer buttons on showers and taps were way too short, we had to pretty much hold the buttons down to keep the water running. Firepit hire was a little more expensive than other sites, as they charge per-night rather than a flat fee for the stay (not too bad though!) We had absolutely no signal, no fault of the campsite but something to be aware of!

From the manager: What a great review, and it's so lovely to read that you saw an owl up close. We hear the every night, but spotting one is very lucky. Thank you for the feedback on the showers, this is something we are looking in to.

Liked: Lovely quiet site, clean well maintained shower toilet block, useful small shop on site.

Disliked: The dogs on leads at ALL times policy was not enforced properly. Dogs running around and approaching other people's tents or camper Van's, sometimes barking and threatening other people and dogs. Also there was no sign outside the shower toilet block saying "NO DOGS" so people were taking them in with them. In one case two large labradors at the same time.

From the manager: Thanks for leaving us a review and I'm pleased to hear you enjoyed our site. It's disappointing when people don't respect the dogs on lead rule. This is something that our wardens do their best to patrol and is something that most of our guests respect.

Liked: The area and the campsite was clean. It was a really good looking campsite.

Disliked: The prices of the pitches and the add ons are quite high, the onsite shop is also quite expensive.

Liked: The staff were very helpful and kind ! I also liked the fact that there was no gate and you could return in the evening at whatever time suited you and wouldn’t be locked out

From the manager: Thanks for leaving us a kind review and I'm pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us.

Liked: The shop was well stocked and staff were polite and helpful. The woodland walks were nice.

Disliked: We camped in the Open Field for 1 night. The portaloos around this area of the campsite were disgusting and overflowing, so we walked to the main toilets and shower blocked to use the facilities there. The ladies toilets were ok, but the men's toilet block were filthy. We are seasoned campers and have seen better cared for facilities in much more basic sites. Also, dogs were roaming around the site off their leads, which is simply not acceptable and the site seemed far to big to be appropriately supervised. We also saw people lighting fires on the grass. We would try camping here again but not in the Open Field and not during school holidays.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, and I'm pleased to hear you'll give us another try. We have the portaloos emptied and cleaned everyday in the summer holidays. We also have a strict, no ground fire rule which is policed by our wardens who patrol the site. If you do ever see a ground fire, then please report it as we take this extremely seriously. Hopefully we'll see you back here again, perhaps in our quieter season. Burnbake Team.

From the manager: Thank you for leaving us a review and I'm glad you enjoyed the steam railway.

Liked: A large site with the freedom of choosing where you pitch. Good facilities including grey water drop , a rare find in UK ! Little shop on site and a snack shack serving pizzas and burgers .

Disliked: Disappointed they would not allow me to re charge my electric bike battery even though I was happy to pay for the electricity . Remarkably they’re not insured for such things.

From the manager: Thank you for such a great review. If you do visit us again, then we are looking into getting some electric bike chargers outside our reception, so hopefully that will solve that problem. Thanks
