Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: The site was very spacious and the new toileting and showering facilities are lovely. If you're looking for somewhere for a weekend and need facilities close by and access to Bournemouth than this place is great.
Disliked: The only thing that I believe is a negative is the location, this place is very close to Bournemouth airport and has a few main roads close by. The air traffic is very loud and cars can be heard from the site which really does take away the whole nature escape feel.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: Lots of space wooded area gave a great wild feel and the new toilet block was very modern, clean and spacious. Plenty space for the dog to explore and lovely town and pub nearby.
Disliked: Is close to the Airport so planes are quite loud overhead. We are both heavy sleepers so didn’t affect us but may be an issue for others? Found it hard to contact someone working there no one at reception and no answers on phone numbers provided?

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: Great camping site quiet in the evening and with lots of open space for the toddler during the day time. There was quite a bit of shade provided by tall trees and hedges - so helpful in the summer. Facilities were clean and sufficient for our one night stay

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: Everything bar someone being too close to us.
Disliked: The people that set up next to us was too close. The instructions state that you must be 20ft away from other campers. When we returned to the site after already setting our tent up there was not enough space to park the car next to our tent as someone had set up their tent thing close to ours!
