Liked: The fact that the pitch was fully serviced for water electricity and grey and black water dumping was very good.
Disliked: The site was scruffy . There seemed to be parts that were permanent, and looked shabby. With work vans and junk lying around. We used our own facilities shower etc . Staff seemed nice enough !

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (large)
Liked: Location & views of the railway ideal for kids. Lovely walk into Swanage.
Disliked: If we had not been in a self contained unit we would have left the site, the facility’s were awful. Very run down & appeared to be a working yard/site. Lots of tired seasonal pitches making the place look a mess. Random white van car parks. Traffic early in the morning like vans leaving for work. Our pitch was next to a gravel track being used by these vehicles, BBQ was ruined due to the amount of dust being kicked up by vans & general traffic from the site. Dog mess Everywhere. Such a shame because this site could be amazing with a good tidy & declutter.

Electric grass pitch
Liked: The site was quiet and toilet/shower facilities were great.
Disliked: The only thing I would say is the grass needed cutting as it was quite long around the pitches. Also the electric hook up was covered in nettles and brambles so difficult to plug in.
