Hi there, I'm looking for a family friendly site near Poole, with plenty of stuff for the kids to do.  Anyone visited Poole recently and could recommend any sites?

Thanks in advance

Janie

There are loads in the area, use the campsite search to find them and read reviews

You can even use the search for sites within a certain distance of an area, see link below

Method 4 NEW! Choose anywhere on the map, and see all sites within a certain radius.

Thanks all for your responses - just off to look all these sites up now. (Sandford one looks good).  Do prefer quieter places myself, but need lots of stuff on site to keep kids happy.  Happy kids = happy grown-ups!

Cheers

I hope so! We've just booked for a week there in June. It's had good reviews from UKCS members and they're never wrong!! LOL.

Think I'll probably book Sandford up for August - Chippy, you'll have to let me know what you think of it.

Seems there are mixed reviews about toilet/shower facilities on this site - but I'm guessing this will happen on very large family sites. As long as there's plenty for the kids to do, I can cope with not so great showers...... better take a bucket!!

Sandford is a good site for entertainment and activities for the children.

A little way out of town but within easy access of many places.

If you are looking for a nice day out (with plenty of exercise for all) a trip to Durdle Door is well worth it. A long walk up some pretty steep pathways, a walk along the cliff top and then down to Durdle Door itself makes for a good morning and then maybe a picnic before returning later in the day. Great views, access to the beach, and it will prove your fitness...

Corfe Castle is also another place to visit for a morning/afternoon trip...

I'll have a look and see if I have any pics which I can post on our link for the Poole area.

Sandford is good for families, reasonable pitches (generally) A little noisy late evening with people returning to their vans (because of the numbers of people on the site) but overall, I'd say good...

Hope this might help?

Thanks Nigel, very helpfull. Definately decided to book Sandford up for August.  Would be great to see your pics of the area if you manage to find them.

Thanks again
