Disliked: Distance from bus stops.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for the nice review and your recommendation. I am sorry you did not like our location, which is a shame as we are near the beaches, Christchurch, Bournemouth and Poole as well as the New Forest. The bus stop is a 10 minute walk down our lane. However there are great cycle routes from the park, and we also have a car rental company who will drop off cars to the park for motorhomes.
Very best showers ever and loo roll that never ran out - alchemy!

Primitive grass campsite (pet friendly)
Liked: Great communication from owners followed y a super friendly welcome when we arrived. Helpful literature which made expectations around regs clear. Lovely peaceful pitch, fab facilities snd the bar with a log burning stove was the icing on the cake. Wood walks, pretty lake, pitch and putt along with reasonably priced food vans made this a site in a million.
Disliked: Nothing - we will definitely be back.
