Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site
Liked: That's a hard one, I think the only thing we liked was the peace and quiet
Disliked: The site needs a good overhaul as most of the pitches were over grown with weeds and the grass are was also over grown. The pictures in their advert should state that this is mainly a permanent site as when you enter the camp site and go to your pitches you are met with an untidy site with caravans that are not looked after ( looked like they were just dumped there ) don't get .e started on the vermin problem, was sitting outside on the camping chair when a very large rat appeared out of the overgrown hedge row, This is such a shame as this site has alot to offer if the maintenance of the site was kept up to a good standard This could Toilet facilities need a good overhaul . The steps up to the shower room was broken and needs replacing Showers need replacing and could do with a good clean. No paper towels to wipe your hands with, had to use toilet paper.

Liked: Staff were helpful, the toilet and shower block was clean, the location was convenient for visiting Swanage and the surrounds.
Disliked: No Wi-Fi was a little disappointing. The campsite felt a little down-at-heel compared to others we’ve stayed at. Probably not enough shower/toilet facilities for the size of the campsite. We were staying mid-week so it was quieter and not a problem.

Liked: Location was fantastic! Only a 40min walk into Swanage. Not the height of the season, but site was quite quiet. Baby foal was gorgeous! 😍 Hit the showers early, so nice a clean. Shower was powerful.
Disliked: Bar could do with updating. Really lovely that the only pool table is free. (though did mean people hog it!) Being propped up on books maybe not!

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site
Liked: Nice weather
Disliked: Inadequate facilities for the size of the place. One shower and toilet block for all the campers and toured to use. Resulting in having to walk a fair distance to use, also join a queue. Shower and toilets block messy with door locks missing. Site seems neglected, grass not mown, seems to need an extensive programme of maintenance. Especially at the price they charge
