Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site
Liked: Hot showers but need a good clean and maintenance. Location is excellent would stay again for that reason only.
Disliked: Dirty showers and toilets no hand towels all weekend Site scruffy and untidy. Did not appreciate children in permanent pitches throwing stones at my car as a drove through to my pitch.The site is tired, the whole site needs maintenance and tidy up. Could do with new shower blocks or at least a good clean.

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site
Liked: Proximity to swanage
Disliked: Facilities and site lacked care and attention. Some of it had disused vehicles on site. Toilet and shower facilities were not up to standard and need a real good makeover or replacing - we used our own. Dishwashing area was basic and you had to keep walking away to make the light work so you could see what you were doing - hot water inconsistent.

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site (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.
