What customers say
This campsite offers lovely woodland and lake scenery with many popular family outdoor activities. Staff are consistently friendly and helpful. Facilities are generally clean, though some noted issues with unisex toilets, shower pressure, and occasional cleanliness. Noise from late campers and aircraft, plus uneven pitches, were mentioned. Many guests highly recommend and plan to return.

Great venue.
Primitive forest floor tent campsite (forest, pet friendly)
Liked All staff positively engaged each time I needed to speak to them. The young woman working the cafe on her own on the night of 30/08/25 deserves a bonus. High volume of food output, high volume of sales and still great customer interaction. Good campus, great activities. Facilities were generally clean. Well positioned for exploring the forest by bike.
Disliked Nothing really, it s on the Bournemouth flight path but I’ve camped a couple of miles away and it’s still just as noisy.

A great campsite to come with a family with excellent facilities.
Primitive grass campsite (no pets, lake view)
Liked The beautiful site situated in woodland. The wide range of activities available were excellent. The fact that everyone observed the quiet hours after 10pm which you don't find in many places.
Disliked The toilets often smelled unclean which was a shame and our freezer packs were stolen on the first day which meant we struggled to keep our food cold and therefore safe. This is not the fault of Avon Tyrrell but impacted our stay slightly.

Nice site with lots to do in great location, reasonably tight access.
Primitive grass campsite (no pets, lake view)
Liked Lots to do from site
Able to find quiet space off pitch
Relaxed site
Location by forest for walks
Activities good (would be great to be able to buy a bundle rather than individual), nice to find some free activities available
Helpful reception and shop, cafe looked good but didn't visit it.
Disliked Seemed a bit tight, windy track to get onto field, slight wheel spin leaving up the hill. Didn't find many toilets or showers, queues at times. Sad to see litter around & lots of disgarded tent pegs on ground.

Would visit again, but would request which pitch.
Powered grass campsite (no pets, lake view)
Liked Lots of activities on site to do, toilets cleaned regularly, not far from a number of beaches. Lovely setting and would return again but world request which pitch.
Disliked We lucked out on our pitch, but could see that many pitches were quite small and close together. Airplanes were flying low and were load due to an airport being close, wasnt to bad as didn’t start until 7am and generally stopped at 10pm but was unaware off before arrival.

Powered grass and earth tent campsite (woodland, no pets)
Liked Space, set out of the pitches was good and shop well priced! Staff came across were good and the archery teacher was fab!
Disliked Toilets/showers by reception weren’t great.. water leaking into the loos. Thankfully we were close to boat house so could use those instead just a further walk
