Welcoming, quiet, well-kept site. Staff are friendly & helpful. Clean facilities, great showers. Spacious pitches, nice rural views. Good base for exploring. Some WiFi issues & occasional neighbour noise, but mostly very positive. Many want to return.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Personally I wouldn't return the site just needs some TLC
Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked The pitch that we stayed on was a really good size.
Disliked First impression of the site that it needed a revamp. It felt really run down and needed some attention. I can't comment on the facilities as I didn't use them.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Great place to chill out & forget about home life & work!
Lovely shower block & toilets, always a must when away.
Only a short walk away from the town, with 2 pubs, which is a great bonus 😜
Will definitely come back to Huntick retreat!
Thank you xx

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Quiet site close to Poole. Saw deer grazing in field behind site
Disliked Hardstanding pitch was small and congested. Grass pitches in field were preferable as they surrounded a large green area. No hot water for showers over weekend when busy.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review – it’s greatly appreciated. As an adult-only site, we aim to provide a peaceful and relaxing environment. While children are welcome to visit during the day (between 10am and 6pm), we do not offer entertainment, in keeping with the tranquil ethos of the site.
Kind Regards
The Team @ Huntick Retreat
Lovely, well maintained, quiet site
Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Well maintained grounds with hedges and rustic fences dividing site into sections giving it a "small site" feel. Toilets/showers kept very clean. The level hard-standings a little narrow, but the grass area for each pitch very generous - plenty of room for an large awning.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Nice touch was the subtle clusters of fairy lights in the shrubs along the paths, which came on at dusk, maintaining the gentle countryside feel.
A short, straightforward drive into Poole and it's attractions.
Disliked Not a dislike as such but be aware:
Travelling north on Huntick Road, from Randells Hill end, it is on the left, just after the cross-roads to the school. Sat-nav using post-code directed us that is was on the right, half a kilometre further om!!
