Booked to go to West Fleet Holiday Farm in Dorset for 1st week of summer hols as 1st time campers. It sound great but all the reviews moan about the shower blocks. I'm told that the toilets/showers are the one thing that needs to be good when you're camping so I'm getting a bit worried that the family will moan about my choice of site. Can anyone reasure me that it's not that bad? Is there anywhere that you could plug in a hairdryer if we don't get EHU?

Last time we visited approx 2-3 years back the showers weren't very good but not the worst i'd seen.We still enjoyed it , went quite often. They may have changed by now. I would ring the site about the hairdryer.

QUOTE LILAC SUNFLOWER. I'm told that the toilets/showers are the one thing that needs to be good when you're camping so I'm getting a bit worried that the family will moan about my choice of site.

Personally that is not my top priority.  A quiet campsite with not too many people and plenty of space is my first priority in lovely countryside.  Mank loos are not pleasant but you can resort to the portapotti option or even the nappy bucket solution, flip flops in the showers to avoid  contact with the surfaces or if really dreadful use the loo tent as a wash area. 

We are all different but if  you go ready to cope... would that help?

Really like the name lilacsunflower

People have different priorities, but how  long do you actually spend in the loos/showers?  If they're that bad you can always have a good laugh about it over drinks in the evening.

Its true about loos being a bit rough but rest of the site makes up for it ,plenty of space, and loos wouldnt stop us going again.

Westfleet is Chickerill as well. Just adds to the confusion. But west fleet showers are not brilliant. They do the job though..wendy

We went there last July, the showers and loos were fine, basic clean and tidy, plenty of hot water and loo roll! Really nice site.

Thanks for all that, it has certainly put my mind at rest. If the weather is like it has been today that will be a great bonus but if not we will have a grea time I'm sure.

Off here next week with my 2 boys.  Some of the more recent reviews on this and other sites are not as good as previous years reviews.

If anyone has been there recently, any feedback would be really appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.
