Help!

I have been researching the various campsites which allow tents and i just dont know which ones are good, clean and worth a visit!  So I was wondering if you could help.

We are looking for a site which will offer close proximity to the sea (or ideally right on the beach) and must allow dogs.  Some entertainment would be a bonus. We are looking at anywhere on the South coast- We were originally thinking of West Wittering, but anywhere in the New Forest, Dorset, East Devon (Cornwall is a bit too far).  Can anyone recommend one?

Many thanks.

West wittering has..

nunnington farm whichis very nice about a 15 minute walk to west beach

the site is very nice and clean and has a small animal 'farm' which is nice for the smaller kids it has a pitch for playing ball and at the end of the road bout 5 mins walk is the local park

very popular site and you have to get there early to get a pitch

Wickes farm is nice but so popular you wont get in

i know i tried fully booked till september

There is Scotts farm at east wittering

it is across the road from the beach...10 minutes walk

it has a play park and good facielties

no shop on site but village is ten minute walk away with tescos, co-op and butchers offy all you would need

but read the reviews first

bit rowdy

saying that i am off there tomorrow for a couple of days

dont need to book and guarenteed pitch

its so big ...600 pitches

Hope this helps

Thanks a lot that is a big help.

Can anyone else recommend a site in Dorset or New Forest?

Most are all booked up, I've rung around a few in Dorset myself. Not many having walking access to the beach though, here's a few in East Dorset that do.

 We have just returned from Freshwater holiday centre in Bridport Dorset. Right on the beautiful private beech ( residents of the park only), great facilities with 3 seperate shower and toilet facilities, swimming pool , nightly entertainment.

What more could you ask for.

Brilliant off the beech fishing . Mackeral straight onto BBQ which you can use on beech.
