From the manager: Thank you so much for your review. I am unsure why you had difficulty with the shower blocks.
We have 2 separate areas that get cleaned at different times, and the earliest is 11am never at 9am. maybe that was just the 5 minute loo role check?
Many thanks

Liked: Back of Beyond is a commendable motorhome campsite that offers a solid experience for touring enthusiasts. While it provides excellent facilities and a convenient location, prospective visitors should be aware that it may not always offer the most tranquil environment. Overall, it comes with a strong recommendation for those seeking a well-equipped base to explore the local area, provided they don't mind a sometimes potentially lively atmosphere.

The pitches at Back of Beyond are generally level and offer reasonable spacing, which is a significant plus for motorhome users. This ensures ease of setup and a comfortable immediate vicinity. However, it's worth noting that despite the spacing, the site can experience noise, particularly from neighbouring pitches, especially during social evenings. This might detract from the experience for those prioritising peace and quiet.

The campsite truly excels in its amenity provision. The shower and toilet facilities are consistently excellent, maintained to a high standard of cleanliness, which is a crucial aspect for any touring site. A well-equipped dishwashing area is also available, adding to the convenience. For motorhome specific needs, the site provides fresh water taps, a dedicated Elsan point for chemical waste, and a waste water dump point, all of which are essential and well-maintained. There is also the option for fully serviced pitches.

Back of Beyond offers a pleasant on-site bar, open from 4 pm to 8 pm, which provides a convenient option for an evening drink. The regular presence of food vans most nights is a fantastic bonus, offering diverse dining choices without needing to leave the site. Wi-Fi is available across the campsite, and for those on the 'Three' network, a strong 4G mobile signal was reported, ensuring connectivity during our stay.

The staff at Back of Beyond are consistently friendly and helpful, contributing positively to the overall guest experience. The site itself is very well-maintained, with a clear effort made to ensure a pleasant environment. The commitment to using electric strimmers for grass cutting is a thoughtful touch, demonstrating an awareness of noise reduction for guests.

Considering the quality of the facilities and the range of amenities on offer, Back of Beyond represents value for money. While not the cheapest option, the investment provides access to well-kept pitches and excellent on-site services.

The campsite's location is a significant advantage for nature lovers and walkers. Hurn Forest is just a short walk away, offering extensive opportunities for exploration. Additionally, the campsite boasts a small, exclusive woodland area for customer use and a picturesque small lake (though it's important to note the lake is not accessible for dogs). This provides immediate natural beauty and recreational options directly from the site.

Back of Beyond is a very good option for motorhomers seeking a well-appointed campsite with excellent facilities and convenient access to local natural attractions. Its pros include clean, well-maintained amenities, friendly staff, and the added convenience of an on-site bar and food vans. However, prospective visitors should be prepared for the possibility of a lively atmosphere, particularly regarding enthusiastic neighbourly revelry. Despite this, its overall offering makes it a recommended choice for a comfortable and enjoyable motorhome holiday in the UK.
