What customers say
Great campsite, super clean, friendly staff, heaps of space and top facilities like a cracking pool & play areas – perfect for families! Good value, peaceful, handy location. A few blokes reckon the loos could do with a spruce-up, and a bit of noise/close pitches popped up sometimes.

Powered grass tent site
Liked Very well maintained and smart, nice park. Pool was lovely and actually warm! Toilets etc all clean. Easy to find and get set up. Everything you need for an easy weekend away

Suspect this is better in the off season when it feels spacious.
Powered gravel and concrete caravan site
Liked Facilities were all there. Children’s playground, football pitch and paddle and tennis. Swimming pool looked good. We only used the playground. So can’t comment on the other bits. Didn’t see the shop as it shut at 5pm.
Disliked Not sure where to start. I’ve never been camping somewhere where many of the campers were so unfriendly. Nothing to point out, just no willingness to say hello or even smile. The site was cramped, basically like sardines. So perhaps that didn’t help.
Toilets/showers were a little grubby. Nothing too bad.
One thing I did notice was dog poo around the site. Again not seen that before. Just added to that sense of a lack of care.

Will not stay again
Powered grass tent site
Liked Close to home, friendly staff member in shop. Easy to find pitch. Fairly level.
Disliked Lack of cleaning. Only one toilet block for a large site, toilet roll and soap dispensers empty. Showers absolutely grim, washing up area not cleaned at all while we were there. Husband saw a cleaner in the men's but he had a tiny spray bottle and all the gunk under sinks was there all weekend. Only staff member we saw was in shop. Swimming pool was really murky. Very expensive for very poor facilities.

Lovely site at an excellent price
Powered grass site (large)
Liked This was such a good site. We stayed one night, before catching a ferry from Poole. The pitch was really big and level. Super friendly and helpful staff at reception. The facilities are great - especially at such a bargain price. Other reviews had mentioned the showers and loos weren’t great, but although they’re a bit dated, they were really clean and well looked after. I would highly recommend this site.
