Meadows electric grass touring pitch

Liked: location

Disliked: There was no hand soap in the toilet block. The showers were cold and the water sprayed over the bench, meaning it was hard to keep items such as shoes etc dry.

Meadows electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Park is lovely, clean and well kept. Staff were helpful and polite. My only feedback concerns the toilet/ shower block. Showers are set to discharge water for only 3 seconds. The distance between the shower head and the water control was too far apart, mostly set at a mans arm span and not a women or young person. It took forever to have a shower and I can imagine this must hold the queue up at high season. Also,a wheelchair user would find self care very difficult. The toilet flush pressure is too low, this means almost all the toilets were constantly blocked with paper and poo. Also the toilet paper doesn't flush easily. One flush is not sufficient for even toilet paper and it takes several minutes for the cistern to fill and again not enough water/pressure to flush. The women's toilets are always set away from the main camping area, this is not safe. All the male toilet blocks face the camping areas. It would be safer the other way round. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with beautiful flat grounds.

Disliked: Toilet/shower block. Low pressure 3 second shower Query women and young girls safety with toilet block facing away from full sight of camp especially at night in the dark, felt very unsafe.

Meadows electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Entertainment Activities looked good for children

Disliked: Bitterly disappointed with the shower /toilet facilities which are desperately in need of a clean & update , Cracked tiles on the floor covered with black tape .The Showers were push button to operate for just a few seconds at a time there was just a trickle of water no proper stream of water to be able to have a comfortable shower.Many of the toilets did not flush ,I would not like to stay there again unless this situation has been improved

Paddock electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Very good value for money. Perfect for children.

Disliked: Showers! Good quality & fairly clean but they are button which isn’t a great start, they only stay on for 3-5 seconds but the shower head is 1-1.5m away from the button which makes nearly impossible to actually shower!

Local attractions

It’s a short hop in the car to begin discovering the area’s spectacular surrounds, from the wilds of the New Forest to the ancient cliffs, limestone arches and nature reserves of the Jurassic Coast (tick off another World Heritage Site on your 'must-see' list). Dorset is jammed with attractions to suit all interests. History buffs might fancy clambering around Northe Fort or scaling the ramparts at Corfe and Portland castles. The Adventure Wonderland family theme park has thrills for kids of all ages, plus a massive hedge maze to get lost in, and action men (and women) can go paintballing or drive a tank at the Bovington Tank Museum. There’s loads of fun for fauna fans, too: check out the chimps at Monkey World, swan about at Abbotsbury Swannery, visit Weymouth Sea Life Park, explore the largest saltwater lagoon in the country on the glass-bottomed Fleet Observer, or meet some farmyard friends at Farmer Palmer’s Farm Park. Drive a bit further and you can also make a day trip to Longleat Safari Park.
