Liked: Location - a bus stop outside and £2 fares no matter where you went so we decided not to drive and bused everywhere even to durdle and lulworth. Pick up a bus timetable at reception and it’s all very easy and reliable.
Disliked: First toilet/shower block is not so nice, dark, weak showers and a bit dirty. walk a bit further to the next block- much nicer. We arrived to find our allocated pitch occupied by someone’s van. We had to call security to find us another pitch so waited around a bit. After a 5 hour drive and it being 7pm, we just wanted to get pitched and eat. So it wasn’t a good start. We were told we would be moved temporarily but I refused as it’s not easy pitching up! So we stayed the week on our new pitch no problem.

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: The shower/toilet block for the touring area are an abomination. They smell disgusting all the time they are filthy, I felt dirtier after a shower than I did before my shower. The showers trickle and to say they are tepid is being generous. The cleaner walks round with a pink spray. Sprays the sinks and disappears. Not in any way are they a good experience. We paid £200 for 4 nights but that only gets you the pitch. EVERYTHING else is an additional cost. Alcohol - we had 1 Guinness and a medium wine it cost £15!!!! needless to say we didn't drink in there again. The hot taps in the ladies had NO water coming through for two days, and that was after constant complaints. Shocking, shocking,shocking. Don't bother with this site if you are a tourer. You are definitely considered a second class citizen.

Liked: Plenty of activities for children as long as you book in advance if you don’t book you won’t get on anything especially during half terms. Great location for exploring Dorset, 25 min drive to durdle door, Lulworth cover and sandbanks.
Disliked: Shower block was disgusting, showers didn’t work half the time and when they did they were cold and a trickle of water. We found going at 10:00pm to be the best time to get warm and sufficient amount of water. Very noisy pitch with lots of late night revellers which was fine but no staff to support if you needed it. The pool showers were stone cold and ran out of water, the pool is also freezing cold, the outdoor pool was actually warmer.
