Herston Caravan and Camping

Liked Location, on site services

Disliked Electric pitches are quite small. Fine when not fully booked but can imagine it gets squeezy in the summer!

Liked Very helpful staff. Good size well maintained pitches. Variety of locations of toilets and showers. Only a 20 mins walk to the town recommended as parking isn't cheapest. Lovely food and not over priced. Big thank you to Liz and Martin who were very helpful and made us feel welcome especially when our van needed to be recovered from the site they didn't pressure us to move on and did all they can to accommodate and assist us and that made a bad situation much less stressful. Thank you and we will return when back on the road

Disliked Nothing. This site will keep getting better in my opinion

Liked Tent was fine, fire pit and bench. Toilets, shower and washing up areas fine.

Disliked Place looks tired and run down. No shop and a bit out of the way.

Liked location was excellent. The night time views of swanage were breathtaking. Quiet site even though it was extremely busy as within the children's summer holidays. Ease of checking in. burger van on site for those not wanting to cook and this was open in a morning too. Showers were more than adequate with good pressure and heat of water. Local walks and paths to Corfe Castle.

Disliked closeness of other tents/campers within the grass pitches. Toilets did not appear to be cleaned very often and ran out of toilet paper on most nights which could have been due to how busy it was and the amount of children that were left to play in the facilities.

Liked Great location. Walking distance ti Swanage sea front. Dece t camping fiend at the back.

Disliked The site, other than the rear two fields is a total mess. It looks like a nice site that has been abandoned. The permanent pitches are really scruffy, the old shop/ laundrette is a building site and photos of this in operation should be removed from the web as it is misleading. The toilets are pretty dirty and responsibility for cleaning is delegated to campers who have paid £50 per night to use the facilities. The cleaning materials are a filthy, half full bucket with stinking mop. Toilet paper ran out early in the day and wasn’t replaced until the following day. All loose had no paper. The staff are scruffy and so are the vehicles etc. it all feels grotty. The reception shed is messy and dirty too. I would not use this site again which is a shame, it could be great with a little effort as it is in a great location. I think that is why they are making zero effort, they don’t need to as it is in a great location but we won’t be back any time soon. Very poor value for money.

Liked Amazing views. Short walk or drive to Swanage. Staff were friendly and helpful. Some of the toilets were nice with large showers.

Disliked Pitch sizes were very small with hardly any space between them. Some toilets were very old with quite spongy floors. The Shepherd hut toilets and showers were much nicer but often ran out of toilet roll. It was very noisy and so isn’t really suitable if you have younger children. There were kids running around and screaming until late at night, but quiet hours are not until 11.30pm. Was surprised that the ban on fire pits was lifted after only a little amount of rain.
