Herston Caravan and Camping

Gostou The view from the bell tents was great, and close to a toilet block. Items provided included camp beds (off the ground) an extension cord, lamp and fire pit with logs. The beds were surprisingly comfy. The toilet block next to the bell tents is fine with good toilets and ok showers.

Não gostou The communication could be improved - we were not told what to expect in the tent before arrival, and on arrival weren't sent directions for how to find the tents and wound up driving round the site in circles until we were told by friends they're in another field (!)
The bell tent area is nice but the rest of the site felt quite run down and poorly maintained. The 'restaurant' is just a burger van with outdoor benches, there is no pool, no playground and no shop on site. We saw two toilet blocks - one was ok but the other had wobbly countertops that looked like they were about to fall off the wall, holes in the walls, very muddy floors and broken locks (!) They felt very dirty.

Não gostou very disappointed in finding the club house had been demolished as we knew the weather was going to be bad .we gone there several times over the last few years and did not expect it especially over the summer period if we had known we would not have bothered given the weather conditions

Gostou I liked the pitch it was clean no bugs no flies.

Não gostou There wasn’t any play ground for kids to play and the showers turn cold and in the toilets there is no tissue to dry your hands and the toilets were pretty far from pitch 20-29.

Gostou Nothing

Não gostou The camping field was via a scruffy, rubbish filled residential site and only one set of toilets and showers for both the holiday makers and all the 'residents'. Needs major improvement. Broken shower screen, holes on the walls of the showers, soiled toilet paper on the floor, mud (it wasn't raining), you can smell the toilets from quite a way rom outside the toiles. Rip off price for terrible facilities. Pitches very unlevel and scruffy.

Gostou I really enjoyed camping at Herston Caravan and Camping. The area is spacious, peaceful, and very family friendly. The owner was extremely kind and even lent me his charging cable extension when I didn’t have one, which I really appreciated. The location is also fantastic, just a 7 minute drive to the beach, close to Corfe Castle, the old rail train, and a handy Co-op supermarket. Overall, it’s a lovely site and I will definitely be going back.

Não gostou The only downside was the toilet hygiene, which could be improved, and the lack of hand towels in the facilities.

Gostou Water tap and drainage on each 2 pitches.
Walks for the dog.
Friendly reception.
Little shop on site.
Great views.
Had a place to grab food.

Não gostou Couldn't see a play park for kids although I may have missed it.
The back roads to get there were very tight but no fault of the parks.
