Meadows powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked: Clean facilities. Not busy midweek term-time. Good activities. Friendly staff. Level pitches. Showers were warm once warmed up.
Disliked: Was originally given a pitch on the corner of the entrance which is in use 24/7, with a young toddler. Explained to staff and they allowed us to change pitch. Some pitches around were quite muddy when it rained

Paddock powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked: Relatively level and spacious pitches. Great activities for kids and families. Well stocked shop. Clean showers and sinks with hot water.
Disliked: Absolutely no toilets flush in the toilet blocks so they're all blocked. Barriers always up so no security to the touring pitches at all.

Paddock powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked: Large pitch, close to toilet block, good sized restaurant and show bar, well stocked shop onsite, plenty of activities on site, nice little dog walk. Located close to Poole, Swanage, Durdle Door etc.. so good for exploring.
Disliked: Large refuse bins located approx 2m from our pitch, no solid fence around, bit of an eyesore, water supply and large open drain within 1m of pitch! Toilet block, hardly any flushable toilets and showers not great, spray everywhere so soak towels and clothing. There wasn't a clear programme about what entertain was on. Could do with more lighting around touring area, especially around activity hub, very dark there when walking back to pitches at night.

Liked: Entertainment staff are great and really friendly.
Disliked: The condition of the toilets where horrendous and not in a useable condition during our stay, luckily we had a caravan to have a shower in ect. Half the blocks where closed and ones that where open had toilets hanging off the wall, showers hanging off the wall.

Liked: Evening entertainment was good if you managed to get a table
Disliked: Pitches were very muddy. Toilets were the worst I’ve ever seen. Everything costs a bomb. Unable to book any activities as they were all booked up prior to us getting to site. We left early and will never return
