Herston Caravan and Camping

A aimé The shop, the staff , the bar/ food van all excellent

N'a pas aimé The toilets, showers were awful not cleaned enough , lots of broken doors, shower screens, toilet roll holders.
Water went off the first day at 10am that was everywhere!
It says 5 mph on site but most people went over that, because it’s all gravel, and we was on an end pitch, we was getting all the dust from the traffic, other people commented on how fast people were driving.
My husband gestured the log man to slow down in his truck, but it fell on deaf ears/eyes! whilst we was cooking our bar b q.
Wasn’t anyone on reception when we left to complain to.
Shame because it’s a great location 🤷‍♀️

A aimé Seaview was the only nice field. Plenty of room and parking.

N'a pas aimé Only 5 showers for a large field. The toilets had no soap no paper towels. There were buckets and mops to clean the floors, in each toilet shower cubicle but the water in them was absolutely disgusting. The site is unkept rubbish everywhere

A aimé Not much to like apart from its location which is on the edge of swanage.
The drive through the site resembles a traveller site with what looks like permanent vans parked up but are very tatty.
We were on a serviced pitch on spearpoint.

N'a pas aimé Got put next to a family who were noisy and often drunk in the evening and smelled like they were smoking weed. Had a friend who came over at 9:50 was loud and used the F-word for every other word until almost midnight.
Asked in reception about noise policy and was told no loud music after 10 but did sayy they’d have a word. Was quieter next 2 nights.
Also facilities are poor. The shepards hut units are okay but on one the door didn’t lock properly and another the shower kept going hot and cold. The other male toilets I went were minging and the door handles barely hanging on by the screws that had been wrenched out. Had to lock the door with a hook that was fitted but left a gap of about an inch and a half.
Waste bins on the site are general waste and no recycling which is bad in today’s climate.
Also no play areas for kids or other facilities.

A aimé New toilet/showers but need to be cleaned more often. Great food from the wagon - good value for money. Seaview field well cared for. Great access by foot into Swanage.

N'a pas aimé Speed limit for cars etc 5mph but youngsters bombing around on their bikes in excess of this speed. Witnessed an 8year old on a battery powered motor bike doing at least 20 mph. Reported to Reception.

A aimé An easy walk to Swanage. Burger van did a great trade.

N'a pas aimé In a nutshell..loos and showers yuk, no loo roll, door locks and shower doors broken, bins overflowing, very untidy sad looking site, not well kept and needs some love and attention. The roads were all gravel which was thrown everywhere when people were driving fast along them and created loose stones and dust everywhere. Dogs without leads, people driving too fast, people smoking w..d so had to keep our windows and doors shut. Someone even let off a flippin big firework ! Only saw one member of staff the whole time and she was a litter picker. They are having a new pool complex built but they need to get the site up to a better standard first, it could be a great.
