General
- Peaceful family-run site in Dorset 10 minutes’ drive from Poole
- A 20-minute drive from the Jurassic coast; 40 minutes from New Forest
- Pub within walking distance; more places to eat in the local village
From paddling along Poole harbour on a paddleboard to touring the Jurassic coast, there’s much to muck into from Bluebell Meadow Campsite. The peaceful place is 10 minutes’ drive from Poole and 20 minutes from the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (home to the chalk Old Harry Rocks, half an hour’s drive, if that’s top of your list). So, you’ll be well-based to jam-pack your hiatus full of activities on Dorset’s beaches or the surrounding countryside.
Touch down in the pocket of farmland surrounded by trees… this family-run site has been set up by avid campers and therefore, attention has been paid to the clean facilities. There are plenty of friendly faces around to point you in the direction of the golf course, 20 minutes’ walk away, or cycling and hiking ways throughout the countryside.
Perhaps you might be thinking of visiting the New Forest National Park (40 minutes’ drive) for its trails, gardens, museums and wildlife… the Isle of Purbeck (25 minutes’ drive) for its coastal scenery, wetlands, forestry and farmlands… the scenic Arne (25 minutes) at the northern end of the isle… or Poole Harbour (25 minutes’ drive) for its canoeing, kitesurfing and paddleboarding activities.
As for those of you after some good pub grub, there are several in Lytchett Minster and Upton (five minutes’ drive for a rather pretty village with a minster), with the closest a 25-minute walk away. And for a tasty treat or two, there’s also a popular café five minutes’ drive away.
Open from 04/02/2022 to 10/29/2022

From the manager...
Thank you for such a lovely and positive review, it will be great to see you again. The post code situation is a pain, but if you can use the 'What3words' app and put in according.speedily.urgent this should bring you straight to the campsite gates. Thanks again and see you soon. |

This is a very new site and there is a lot of possibilities for it .

Thanks for the positive comments and for your suggestions for improving the site. We are looking into building a dog walking area, but we are just at the planning stage at the moment. Hope to see again soon. |

Basic site with nice facilities
From the manager...
Thank you for your positive comments. Regarding the hardstanding this has now been crushed down further using a heavy roller, unfortunately as you arrived in April we had not had chance to get the contractors in to complete this job. Hopefully when we see you again you will notice the difference. |
|||||
From the manager...
Thanks for the comments and we are sorry that you would not be returning. The rules that are set out on Pitchup and our website are made clear upon your arrival, so none of these should have come as a shock or set you on edge. As a courtesy, we call all those who have not arrived by 6.00pm to make sure they are Ok, but again it clearly states on Pitchup what time you need to arrive as the site does not have a reception. |

From the manager...

Good level site suitable for both tents and caravans.
From the manager...
Thank you for your comments and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. With regards to the showers, we explained when you arrived that we are in a low water pressure area and that the showers were electric and not power showers. So changing the the shower heads would not improve the flow and as the showers heads are triton, they are no means cheap. |

Local attractions
Beaches, wildlife havens or historical sites first? There are bucket loads of the former, from Bournemouth’s pier and sandy seafront (half an hour’s drive), the three miles of soft sand from South Haven Point to Old Harry Rocks at Studland beach (half an hour) to the shell-shaped Lulworth Cove (half an hour), formed over millions of years … hence the many swimming spots.
You’ll get history and the coast in one shot in Swanage (half an hour), a Victorian seaside resort, and Weymouth (40 minutes) too, thanks to its Georgian seafront. History-wise, there’s also the National Trust’s Kingston Lacy (15 minutes), Corfe Castle (15 minutes), literary Dorchester (25 minutes) or the heritage Poole Cockle Trail (10 minutes) around the old town.
As for that wildlife spotting, well, top spots include RSPB Arne’s nature reserve (20 minutes), Monkey World’s ape rescue centre (15 minutes) and Brownsea Island (15 minutes’ drive and 35 minutes’ boat ride). There’s a nature reserve (along with beaches and harbour) in Christchurch (35 minutes) too or Upton Country Park (five minutes) for woodlands.
To round things off, perhaps you’ll want to fit in Farmer Palmer's Farm Park (10 minutes’ walk), Splashdown's waterpark (15 minutes) too.
