What customers say
This well-kept site has spacious pitches and great, very clean washrooms. Guests liked the relaxed vibe and handy location for shops and sights. Aircraft and road noise can be heard due to the airport and main road nearby, but most found it manageable. Some noted slow hot water for dishes and no hairdryers in washrooms. Overall, good value, and many plan to return.

Liked A spacious site in a good location with excellent (very recently constructed by the look of them) toilet and shower facilities and all the other facilities you'd expect.
Disliked All fine for us, but it's close to a main road and Bournemouth Airport, so the noise might be a factor for some people.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Everything was ideal. Great facilities. Nice surroundings, though the traffic noise was continuous in the background. Helpful staff.
Disliked A large black Cane Corso type dog was loose at 6am, caused mayhem and damage to my car paint trying to get at the terrier shut in the boot and acted aggressively towards me. The owners were irresponsible.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Tidy ground, clean excellent showers and loos.
Disliked Told to pitch up ‘anywhere’, so we did near one of the provided wooden benches. Several hours later a van pulled up with a guy jumping out yelling we were on “his” pitch and to get off. Turns out he ‘does some work’ on the ground and appears to ‘own’ that part of the pitch. We had to decamp and go somewhere else, which we’d happily done in the first place if told not to camp in any particular spot. It left a sour taste overall and really the campground management might find a better way to inform visitors of ‘no-go’ areas occupied by their workers.

Fabulous site.
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Absolutely everything. The lady on reception was very welcoming. We were able to pick our own pitch (we had non-electric tent pitch). We have visited 8 different sites this year and this one was by far the best. The showers and toilets were outstanding - clean, spacious and instant hot water. There is a garden centre next door that does and an excellent cake and breakfast.
Disliked Nothing.
