What customers say
Spacious, organised campsite in woodland/fields, good pitch options. Clean facilities (showers/toilets) highly praised. On-site shop/cafe popular. Friendly, helpful staff. Mostly peaceful, occasional noise from other campers. Great base for exploring.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Avoid the open camping field
Open Field unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Flat ground, free showers, small park for the kids.
Disliked The portaloo’s in the open camping field need cleaning and restocking far more (which didn’t happen despite us asking) - lots of times they had run out of loo roll, hand sanitiser and were filthy. The weekend 25-27 July was rammed - far too many pitches were sold which spoiled it somewhat but when quieter it was much more pleasant. The food for sale is expensive for what it is - definitely frozen burgers! Fire pit hire at £8 a night is pretty disgraceful too, many other sites are free of charge. I suspect the good reviews probably come from the main site where the facilities are much, much better versus the open field which is quite expensive for what it is.

Great open plan campsite that is well maintained
Main unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked We stayed in the Main Campsite which is much smaller than the open fields and has more shade.
The facilities are kept very clean, good hot showers, shop is well stocked with daily bread deliveries including croissants and the Snack Shak serves breakfast baps and evening burgers and pizza.
There are no marked pitches except for the few electric hookups so you can settle where you like and groups can go together.
Lots to do nearby including a short ferry to Sandbanks beach

Friendly staff and level pitches
Open Field unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Friendly and helpful. Showers free and clean. Facilities adequate but a long walk from our pitch.
Local attractions fabulous
Disliked Portaloo’s needed more regular cleaning.
Also , and this is not the sites fault, but a fellow camper lost control of her dog (it was off lead) and it attacked ours who was on the lead and by our van.

Liked Loved our night here. Staff were super friendly and helpful. The campsite had a lovely safe, fun vibe.
Disliked We were a little confused on arrival quite were to pitch but I think that’s mainly because we are newbies to van life.

Clean, friendly, big and well managed.
Main unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Although it was a busy weekend, the pitches, shop, cafe, toilets and showers were spotless. There was a notable ranger patrol of an evening which was nice and helped you feel safe. I was a bit dubious when we pulled up because my family usually stays on much smaller sites but I honestly had nothing to worry about, the place is very well managed.
10/10 chips in the cafe.
The lady on reception is an absolute sweetheart too.
