Liked I liked the raw nature feel to the camping experience (camping in a woodland). I didn’t do any of the activities but there was plenty to choose from! And it all looked like good fun! The staff were friendly and helpful.

Disliked If I really had to pick something negative, the shower could of been a little bit warmer! But apart from that no complaints at all. Lots of wildlife noises at night ! But thats nature! (Again this isn’t a complaint I just wasn’t used to it being from the city!)

Liked 15 minute drive to the coast Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove etc.. Clean toilets and showers, washing facilities etc. 2 minute walk to nice pub with local drinks on tap The guy who greeted me at the gate and showed me to my pitch was friendly

Disliked Very noisy at night time. Train station next to site, freight trains running through the night, busy A road noisy traffic, and helicopters as well! Army base nearby. The tent pitches were so muddy! My shoes were caked in mud, could feel it squelching under my ground sheet when walking around in tent. Flies on the site on a few occasions getting in my face. Also quite a lot got into the tent at one point and had to clean them away with the wipes. Allocated electric socket didn’t work so had to use my neighbours one, luckily no one was there. Would of discussed it with reception but I was out early, and back late. It wasn’t a massive issue because no one else showed up . I did send an email but didn’t get a response.. I get the impression this is more of a caravan park, and people can bring a tent and camp if they want. But I don’t think the grass is cared for well enough to camp…

From the manager: Thank you for your review, we appreciate your feedback - regarding the trains the last train is at midnight and they run again from 6 am, the A road is the other side of the train line and we are situated on a B road which is very quiet at night, we are close to Bovington and Lulworth where are are 2 army bases and typically on a Tuesday evening they do have training practice, Regarding the grass pitch, you had been pitched on one of our dryer pitches for this time of year. we did have a lot of rain before your visit and also more rain that week, therefore the grass had become very wet being the start of October and also towards the end of our season where we have been very busy season with campers therefore the grass has not had chance to grow back, we do maintain our pitches regular and are cut weekly but sometimes the weather gets the better of us. Regarding flies, that is out of our hands as this is a natural thing for nature we are near a meadow which a river runs through and also a neighboring farm which holds sheep, and they are in the field next to our site. regarding the electric socket as soon as your email had come in we sent a member of staff down to take a look at the socket to correct the issue as your where not on site we couldn't talk to you about this and therefore left you plugged into the socket with out disturbing your belongings. we do not allow people to come in and just pitch up we have a strict booking policy, where people are then allocated pitches best suited for them.

Liked The site was very clean, scenic location, close to the beach, no noise, no stress, the site manager was helpful and friendly. 10 minute walk to the beach!

Disliked Not much to dislike, only one toilet in the men’s room but wasn’t an issue during my stay but I can see it being an issue during the busy season. Also the beach is rocky and the sea is a bit murky, but it’s typical English coast. Not the end of the world. Just don’t expect a tropical swimming experience.
