Snooks Farm Alpacas

Liked The animals, the peace and lots of room to choose your pitch.

Disliked Toilet pretty basic but fully functional

Liked Es waren keine anderen Leute da, wir konnten die Ruhe geniessen. Die Alpakas sind megasüss und ganz neugierig. Wir hatten viel Platz und durften uns hinstellen wo wir wollten.

Disliked Uns hat alles gefallen. Ein grosses Abwaschbecken um das Geschirr zu waschen wäre toll, weill wir nur mit dem Campervan unterwegs sind. Aber es funktioniert auch so.

Liked The scenery and the animals were entertaining to watch and despite the low flying aircraft from Bournemouth airport it is a peaceful site.

Disliked Sadly it is not much more than a field with basic facilities, abandoned vehicles, and tractor trailers. If staying in a motorhome there is not much around here that you can walk to as it is quite isolated; you would need to drive out. Really should be in the bracket of a £10 stopover.

From the manager: Hi
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your stay, this is a working alpaca farm, lots of animals clearly stated. The equipment and trailers are not abandoned but used at different times of the year for different jobs ie hay making, as for walking we have the beautifull river stour 2 mins away with lovely walks and picnic areas as well as walking via public walkways to the airport and parley heath. The site was designed for motorhomes and caravans in which you have your own facilities, we have put in toilets for campervans that don't have facilities

Liked ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful Family Escape at Snooks Farm Alpacas

We had such a lovely time staying at Snooks Farm Alpacas! It’s a really peaceful and unique place — perfect if you want a quiet break surrounded by nature, with the added bonus of some super friendly alpacas and other farm animals wandering around.

The campsite itself is simple but really well kept. Our pitch was spacious and flat, great for our campervan. There’s no electric hookup here, so it’s definitely more of a traditional camping experience, but that just added to the charm. It felt like a proper little countryside escape.

Our kids absolutely adored the alpacas and llamas. They were so gentle and curious — it was amazing to have them so close. The farm also has goats, sheep, ducks, and chickens, which really made it feel like a proper farm holiday. The owners, Christine and Ian, were lovely and made sure we had everything we needed.

The facilities have improved recently, with clean new toilets which we really appreciated. Of course, it’s still quite rustic, so if you’re after luxury, this isn’t the spot — but if you want somewhere natural and relaxed, this is ideal.

Location-wise, it’s just a few miles from Ferndown, so it’s easy to pop into town for supplies or a bite to eat. We also took a day trip to Bournemouth, which was lovely.

Overall, Snooks Farm Alpacas was a wonderful spot for our family. If you’re after a peaceful campsite with lovely animals and friendly hosts, definitely give it a go. We’ll be back for sure!

Disliked Nothing

Liked Spacious site, lots of animals to look at (llamas and alpacas come into the camping field!!), clean toilet although bring your own loo roll - basic but secure and off the beaten track. Really near to the beach or walks, walkable to the local shops too.

Disliked Under the flight path to the airport which might bother some people but we only woke up to 1 plane at 7ish - no need for earplugs ☺️

Liked The farm life, alpacas, sheep, chickens and a strange bird that I've not identified but it was big. The field was big and flat, with space for every one, it was ideal as a 'wild' camping experience.

Disliked Being under the flight line of Bournemouth airport. The site is close, like only 300 ft between the aircraft and you close. The noise was off the charts and started at 7am, then a flight every 5 mins or so after that.

Liked Friendly owners, emu’s and alpacas entertained the kids

Disliked The campsite was a bit of a ground for old farming equipment. Right over Bournemouth airport flight path

From the manager: Many thanks for your review.

This is a working farm, the machinery is used at different times of the year and is getting ready for this year’s hay making not dumped !!
The details on Pitchup clearly states we are a working farm close to Bournemouth airport idea for the airshow or travelling etc...

Liked Loved this place greeted as soon as we came in the gate and felt so at home 🤩 no bays just park where you like pub 10 minutes down the road and a lidl a little bit further 🙌 toilets fine take you own big roll which is fine 🤩🤩🤩
