Quarr Camping

Positiv Stayed for one night- lovely place , for the first time the pitch was unlimited- amazing, as no boundaries, campfire allowed. Clean facilities, very welcoming owners. Location close to the beach and close for a lovely walk. We had great time and the kids too - enjoyed watching the steam train passing.

Negativ The shower was 20p for 2 min , however there was another facility with free showers , but no light- we had a torch and there was no problem to use it.

Positiv Large field so lots of space between pitches. Adequate washing up, showers and loos. Good to see the kids enjoying playing on the hay bales.

Negativ Lots of the campsite is not flat, so care needed when deciding where to pitch. You may end up walking a long way to the toilet block. Both of these were ok for us, but it’s worth knowing.

Positiv Everything. Perfect, back to basics holiday with the family (and pooch!)

No frills, but no frills were needed. Facilities were cleaned regularly and well stocked, showers were available and the hay bales were utilised massively by my kids who spent hours playing on them with new found friends.

Definitely one we would love to return to.

Positiv Brilliant open space, plenty of choice depending of size of party, my little boy loved watching the steam train go past.
Was able to buy some logs from onsite shop.

Negativ N/A

Positiv Have been coming here for years literally from day one the camp site opened, you know what you are getting no thrills back to basics camping but with clean toilets and showers. Close to corfe castle, Swanage, durdle door, Poole etc choices are available for days out.

Negativ This time we seemed to have an infestation of ticks not sure if we were unlucky and pitched on a nest?

Positiv The staff were friendly and helpful

Negativ The facilities were poor. Only one wash basin in the toilets so that mornings and evenings there were people wanting to wash their hands after using the toilet and someone cleaning their teeth in the only basin.
No way of knowing if someone was in the toilet cubicle so you had to pull on the door to find out
Nowhere to put your clothes in the shower except the floor
Showers were 20p for 2 minutes whether you had the water on or not
Sinks for washing up were out in the open.
A long walk to the facilities from the tent
Facilities were not particularly clean
Staff only on site after 5pm sometimes later

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for complementing our staff, its a shame you don't appear to have enjoyed your stay however we'd like pick up on a few of your points - correct there is only one basin in the designated women's toilets however there is 5 other basins in the unisex block situated next to this as well as 3 sinks outside.
I'm sure no one minded a slight pull on a door to see if it's in use although most people leave them ajar when vacant.
There are hooks on all the shower doors so not sure why you felt the need to leave your clothes on the floor.
Coins are used for the showers to ensure people aren't spending excessively long periods in the showers making the wait longer for others and sadly the meters have to be situated on the outside of the wet room due to water and electrics not mixing well.
2 of our 4 washing up sinks have a shelter and as we clarified on your arrival you are allowed to pitch where you like - this can be as close to or as far from the toilets as you choose - we can not change the fact you chose to pitch in the furthest point from them.
We pride ourselves on our facilities being well maintained and being 'proper' toilets as opposed to smelly portaloos.
And lastly regarding the staff only being around from 5pm, we update our board daily with the times we will be at reception - this being 9-10am and 5-7pm (sometimes staying later than stated) on the days of your stay, also advising to call us if there are any problems outside of these times.
Thanks again for your review.

Positiv Liked the steam trains that went by, toilets and showers are clean, saw some cute baby deers running and playing on the field at the top. Great location, people at reception was really lovely and they have a man come in a van in the morning with drinks, food, groceries that you can purchase at a good price which was actually fantastic as me and my partner forgot to buy bread and milk the night before for breakfast.

Positiv Good amount of space and freedom of pitch choice. The steam trains passing through was great too. Staff we met were very welcoming and helpful. Lovely spot near swanage would recommend.

Negativ Not so much a dislike but more showers would be good.
