BTW you spell "Bournemouth" with an "e" in the middle

Hope this helps,

Ashurst in the New Forest is right by the railway station (and a pub) on the mainline into Bournemouth and the trains stop every twenty minutes. Loads of walks, great scenery and a nice site. Very very pricey, Forest Holidays are really taking the **ss this year with their various supplements, but if you can swallow that I doubt you could do much better. There is another site by Sway railway station but I cannot comment on it, that is closer to town, but not such a rural location.

Your other option would be any of the great sites on the Purbecks and then get a 150 bus straight into Bournemouth town centre.

I actually think Christchurch might be your best option as you can get quite a few buses to to Bournemouth Square from there . The beach is less than a five minute walk from the square. Last year everyone sat on the beach or the prom to watch the air show. The show was great , as was the weather.
The only other thing i can think of is to do a search around Wimborne there's a few sites there. Poole is the nearest train station to Wimborne and Wimbornes only 5 miles or so from Poole.

There's also Wareham that has sites and a train station or a few sites in Poole e.g.
Beacon Hill
Merley Court.

I still reckon a site in Christchurch will be the easiest option though.

Have you tried the radius search - it may help find somewhere in the area , eg http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/calcdist.asp?md=5&l=50.734478&lg=-1.774292
Hope it helps

Bashley?  The teens would love it and there is a train station in New Milton, a short walk away.

Forestry Commission site on edge of Brockenhurst would be my recommendation - 5 or 6 minutes walk from station (for Bournemouth), and a lively village for the evenings, with great pubs/resturants etc.

Best of...

How about the one in Wool, very close to the station?
