Non-electric forest floor tent pitch

Liked: Very relaxed campsite, loved pitching my tent surrounded by trees. Toilets, showers and washing up sinks were all clean. Shower was my fave, hot rainfall indoor/outdoor shower so you could see the trees and hear the birds but also have privacy. Also as it is a family site it was nice and quiet by bed time.

Liked: The site is great for families and children. The woods and adventure playpark is paradise for children. Toilets and showers were immaculate and clearly checked regularly by staff. I do not have anything negative to say about the campsite.

Local attractions

Activities aren't limited to the site – and that’s for certain at Farmer Palmer's Farm Park (five minutes’ drive). As well as bringing together a farm fantasy with interactive animal activities, this site has indoor and outdoor play areas and woodland trails and a maze (perhaps one of the only places you’ll want to get lost on purpose). Local beaches could certainly count as a playground of their own too, as beach sports and watersports are available for a chock-a-block day in Bournemouth (25 minutes), a nice contrast to the more austere Victorian parks and gardens, museums and galleries in the town. Then, of course, there’s Poole (10 minutes), with the riveting water rides at Splashdown and the harbour for windsurfing, kayaking and the works. You’ll surely want to take a bite out of the Jurassic Coast too, given that it’s only half an hour’s drive away. Whether it’s a scramble over Dancing Ledge (half an hour), a climb to see Old Harry Rocks (half an hour) or a duck into the old quarry caves at Winspit Quarry (35 minutes), this scenic part of the coast is crammed with beauty spots.
