What customers say
This quiet, well-kept site offers spacious pitches, great scenery and pretty lakes. Guests loved the peaceful vibe and friendly owners. However, basic toilets and a £5 shower fee were common complaints, with some finding it too expensive and the single toilet/shower inadequate. Owners admit the toilet needs an update.

Liked We found the site quiet and well maintained grounds.
Disliked Toilet wasn't very nice, needs updating. No option to pay for the shower online, I had to text the site owner and organise it through her which was an inconvenience for us both.

Very peaceful and relaxing

Liked Idyllic, quiet site alongside beautiful lakes. Very secure behind gates and some distance from the road so very little traffic noise. Grounds and lawns are immaculate. Only stopped one night to have work done on MH by nearby Hillview Awnings.

A lovely site well worth a visit
Powered grass travel trailer campsite (lake view, members only)
Liked This place has wonderful views a beautiful lake and is peace and tranquillity the fishing lake at the centre of it adds a sense of calm and the geese landing on the lake in the evening was a beautiful sight to be seen. A beautiful hamlet.
Disliked There is not a lot to dislike about this site as it is a great stay , yes the toilet is basic but if you are looking for posh go find a bigger commercial site. it’s a work in progress and the owners are doing a good job

No because the shower is a stupidly expensive price per day
Anonymous Powered grass travel trailer campsite (lake view, members only)
Liked I loved the beautiful scenery and the size of the pitches. Easy drive to places like sandbanks (30 mins) and swannage. Some nice local pubs (red lion). The pitches are with EHU. The grounds are kept looking very good, with geese, ducks and a chicken wandering around.
Disliked The toilet is the worse CL toilet I’ve ever seen, PLUS there is only one!! Which is not enough for the CAMC and Pitch-up customers. But, that’s not all…. The guy running the place does not like people using the showers. He charges £5 per day for a key to use the shower. So it’s extremely expensive. He also makes a big deal about cleaning it after use, with words and signage because it became apparent they do not want to do it themselves. And there is only one shower he gives a key for, so there is a waiting game especially in the morning. Drop the price or withdraw your expensive use of the showers and put some money into tidying up the one and only toilet.
