Paddock powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked: Relatively level and spacious pitches. Great activities for kids and families. Well stocked shop. Clean showers and sinks with hot water.
Disliked: Absolutely no toilets flush in the toilet blocks so they're all blocked. Barriers always up so no security to the touring pitches at all.

Paddock powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked: Large pitch, close to toilet block, good sized restaurant and show bar, well stocked shop onsite, plenty of activities on site, nice little dog walk. Located close to Poole, Swanage, Durdle Door etc.. so good for exploring.
Disliked: Large refuse bins located approx 2m from our pitch, no solid fence around, bit of an eyesore, water supply and large open drain within 1m of pitch! Toilet block, hardly any flushable toilets and showers not great, spray everywhere so soak towels and clothing. There wasn't a clear programme about what entertain was on. Could do with more lighting around touring area, especially around activity hub, very dark there when walking back to pitches at night.

Liked: Entertainment staff are great and really friendly.
Disliked: The condition of the toilets where horrendous and not in a useable condition during our stay, luckily we had a caravan to have a shower in ect. Half the blocks where closed and ones that where open had toilets hanging off the wall, showers hanging off the wall.

Liked: Evening entertainment was good if you managed to get a table
Disliked: Pitches were very muddy. Toilets were the worst I’ve ever seen. Everything costs a bomb. Unable to book any activities as they were all booked up prior to us getting to site. We left early and will never return

Highly commercialised site, good for kids. Some great staff.

Meadows powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked: Main centre of the park was very clean tidy and up to date
Disliked: Holiday park is very much geared up for static caravans. Touring pitches are at the very back of the site. Long walk to get to main section of the park where food and amusements etc is present. No indication that we needed to go to a different reception so parked for main reception then had to move again (staff were lovely). At main touring section, toilets appeared to be infrequently cleaned, I used in the morning with majority of stalls out of toilet paper. Shower was like being spat on the lack of pressure was pathetic whilst only one other person using. Leak in ladies toilet didn’t even get a bucket put under it for two days. Washing up area had no hot water and the light didn’t work. Had to get my 5 yr old to hold the torch whilst I got tepid water from men’s toilet and then wash up by torch light. WiFi was absolutely pathetic on site, not much phone signal which is expected but the provided WiFi wouldn’t even work well enough to use the Parkdean app to order food through, which you’re suggested to do
