Herston Caravan and Camping

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.

Gostou The shop, the staff , the bar/ food van all excellent

Não gostou 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 🤷‍♀️

Gostou Polite staff, easy parking, more than adequate space per unit. Proximity to Swanage - an easy walk.

Não gostou Too many barking dogs, dearth of shower or toilet facilities, slightly overpriced.

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

Não gostou 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
