Mi è piaciuto: The rural location with footpath to the steam railway.

Non mi è piaciuto: This site is so tired and in much need of a facelift - investment in new facilities would be a good first start. The shower block is exceptionally small given the total number of pitches. Given the rate we paid, one would expect the Wi-Fi to be included (as many other sites at lower rates do). One would expect the take away and bar facility to be open given the booking was in the Easter holidays. The grass around the motorhome hard standing should be cut and the shingles weeded. There was no motorhome service point. The number of apparently permanent residents is not at all clear from the booking website information.

Mi è piaciuto: Great facilities, toilet block is well kept. Pub is a little old world but it's adequate

Mi è piaciuto: Close to Swanage town and Studland bay. See the steam train pass by. Also not far for the chain ferry over to sandbanks. Nice site very quiet when we was there which was nice. Clean toilets, showers. Pleasant worker s and friendly.

Non mi è piaciuto: Unfortunately time of year the children’s park wasn’t open.

Mi è piaciuto: The nostalgic sound of the steam locomotives passing by. Facilities were cleaned to a good standard.

Non mi è piaciuto: I paid £159 for two people staying 3 nights on a fully serviced pitch. I was put on a pitch which was a standard hard standing with grass and an electric hook, and a shared tap. There was no tank emptying facility either on the pitch or on the park. I asked a staff member and was advised just to empty the tank as I drive up the road as there were no tank emptying facilities on site. The facilities were in a very poor state of repair and were too few for the size of the park, people were queueing up outside the shower blocks. Staff would drive around in their cars, on arrival you might get an escort to your pitch, but have a finger pointing out of a car window at your pitch then they would drive off. There were no company logo shirts or fleece jackets on the staff to identify they were staff. The pitch was covered in weeds and the grass was cut and cuttings just left there, so you would walk the grass into the motorhome.

Mi è piaciuto: What a great location! Facilities were spot on. Super clean - I was actually shocked at how clean the shower and toilet block was kept given the rain and mud!! Very impressed Showers worked well with v good pressure and good temperature (which in some places can be really below avg.) Staff were lovely Views were amazing And yes it was a little muddy so had to take the road walk to Swanage - but it was not that far and we were able to flag down the local steam train to stop and take us in - how cute 😍 And to see some of the reviews on here that are quite negative - everyone has their views but they are way too harsh in my opinion!! We loved it

Non mi è piaciuto: The rain!! But not much the campsite could do about that And the sun did shine most the time So we were happy campers 🤩😍

Mi è piaciuto: Great pitches, clean and tidy site/showers and toilets. Friendly helpful staff. Good club room with lots going on, though rather crowded but did find a seat. Great location a 15 minute walk into Swanage across public footpath and 5 minute walk to the Helston stop for the Steam railway.

Mi è piaciuto: Swanage railway station nearby, countryside views, location.

Non mi è piaciuto: Facilities very tired. Permenant residents make site look scruffy.

Mi è piaciuto: Location and countryside views, friendly staff. Swanage railway station just outside site.

Non mi è piaciuto: Facilities need updating, some areas of the site were really tatty.
