Great stay
Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Nice and easy turn up and pitch up. Large field and opportunity to set up wherever. Easy drive into local town and Bournemouth. Greeted upon arrival and was checked in with no hassle. Toilets are outdoor style but run warm water.

Bell tent (four person)
Liked Location- close to the beach and easy to find
Fabulous meal at The Oaks- 5 mins drive
Large field
Bell tent itself was a decent size and good parking beside our tent
Showers and toilets were reasonably clean and water was warm
Disliked Inside of the tent was pretty dusty- floor and air mattresses needed a good hoover
Air mattresses on camp beds were so noisy, if we had stayed another night I would have tried taken them off the camp beds as everyone woke up when someone turned over in the mattress
No lock on tent or suggestion to bring one- meant we had to repack when we went out
No soap in the dispenser by the sinks

Stinking portaloos.
Not worth visiting at all!

Very very basic camp
Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch
Liked Close to where we wanted to be.
Disliked Portaloos as toilets - for a festival ok but would have expected more on a campsite. No roof over dishwashing sinks. Everything gets really muddy. SHould have made really clear that this is a pop up campsite with festival flair. -basically a field with some mobile units. Showers mainly cold.

Basic pop up site with portaloos and wooden outdoor showers.
Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch
Liked Very easy to book. Fair price for the area its in. Then just turn up and park we neve say any warden. Its a massive field basically with portaloos and pop up showers that were hot enough but very basic and 2 washing up sinks. Don't expect anything more.
Disliked Nothing really. I read the reviews and description and received exactly what I wanted and expected. I did see a few dog poos not picked up which is a shame on the owners of the dogs. There was a bit of road and railway noise through the night but didn't bother us. Portaloos needed a clean.

Not for us
Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch
Liked The location is good with a few pubs and a shop within walking distance.
Disliked The site was not for us. There was no vibe and whilst we’re used to basic sites, this was incredibly basic. The portaloos were smelly and I didn’t trust the shower cubicle (built with chipboard). We were bitten all over, there was quite a bit of noise from the bypass and trains passing on the nearby tracks, along with a dog on the loose in the middle of the night barking so we had an awful sleep. There was also dog poo left in the field. We were meant to stay for 2 nights but left after the first night.

I thought.£27 per night a lot for a field and porta loo
Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch
Liked Good location for Christchurch, the Beach, Harbour and new forest.
Nice flat field, free to choose camping spot.
Very basic site it is just a field with porta loos and very basic wood outside shower cabins, no handwashing basins .which is fine as what I wanted
Disliked No hot water for washing up.
No staff presence

A reasonable price for adequate facilities. Unlikely to return, though
Bell tent (four person)
Liked Easy check in, pointed to tent and was sorted within 10 mins.
Toilets and showers were basic, but clean.
Disliked Bed squeeked, so disturbed the kids everytime I moved. Tent let the light in, so everyone awoke upon first light.
