Avon Tyrrell Outdoor Activity Centre and Campsite

Líbí se The openess of the campsite. The politness of staff. Having a shop and cafe on site. Even though we didn’t do the activities, we liked the idea that we could do them.

Nelíbí se Shared toilet/shower units (men and women)
We did expect to be near the lake but enjoyed the campsite.
Would have like aome shade next to the tent.

We booked two activities climbing and archery for the children and they enjoyed themselves
The showers were hot and toilets clean

Líbí se Staff were friendly. Toilets and showers were clean

Nelíbí se Everything seemed very dated. Our pitch had a tap on it which was handy apart from everyone else wanted to use it even though there were 2 other taps a few feet away. We kept telling everyone our dog didn’t like strangers and she was tied up at all times, but these stupid people kept walking through our pitch to get to this tap or take a short cut to the road!!!
Shame you can’t see much of the lake and walk all the way round to spectate. Most is covered by bushes. The other smaller lake is just full of plants and needs clearing.
Expensive site

Líbí se Had a great 4 day stay.
There's oodles to do from archery, paddle boarding, kayaking, arial rope walks, zip lining and many more, plus you can hire bikes.
It's a large site with electric and non electric hook ups, lodges and places for camper vans and caravans. Nice sized pitches.
We camped with an electric hook up and were situated near the lake which had its own toilets, showers and wash up block. The toilets and showers were lovely and we never had to queue for them.
The site itself isn't far from plenty of places to visit like Christchurch, Ringwood, Highcliffe castle, Beaches, etc. The on site shop has a few tent spares, toys, info leaflets on places to visit and the staff are lovely. There is also an on site cafe which looked quite popular.
We went early August and although it was busy it never felt crowded.

Nelíbí se The ground is very hard so make sure you pack plenty of heavy duty pegs!!! There was also a slight hill where we pitched which made for some interesting sleeping 😁.
The toilets while lovely could have done with some TLC during the day as they were somewhat messy with toilet paper and water on the floor, a minor thing overall.
The signage for reception wasn't really clear from the drive and caused a little confusion on arrival.
You are on a flight path so it can be noisy at times but we found it exciting to see the planes go over.

Líbí se The pitches in the pine trees. Use of a fire pit. Several activities (although we were only there one night, so couldn't take advantage of them).
Friendly team in reception.

Nelíbí se Uncertainty on cafe opening hours. Advertised as 08:00 on the day we went, but still hadn't opened when we were leaving the campsite around 09:30. We kept being told different times by members of staff!!
Felt like the toilet block was always very busy and had to wait to use a shower.

Líbí se The instructors were very kind, supportive and encouraging. The campsite was mostly clean and tidy. The receptionist in the shop kindly swapped our booking as we had missed it.

Nelíbí se The loo seats should have lids. It's disgusting to think that we brush our teeth surrounded by other people's wee and poo particles floating in the air.
Could there be separate sinks outside for teeth, make up etc?
