Hi.

We have just bought our first tent - an Outwell Montana 6.  Have checked that we have all the bits after reading previous posts and all is good!

Now we want to try it out and are looking for a site in Dorset or New Forest where we can spend a couple of nights.  Family plus poss a dog (long story!).

Any recommendations?

Julie

Hi Cherrybear. Welcome to UK Camp Sites and congratulations on your purchase, great tent. May I suggest you go to the camp site search on this site. The site members who visit these sites leave a written piece on how they found the site pros / cons. This would be a great place to start in finding and planning your first adventure.

 

Enjoy you will soon be an addict.

Hi Julie, we're in Poole just up the road from you.I would recommend Wareham Forest but it will probably be fully booked but still worth a try.Beacon Hill is another good local site and there's a couple of good sites in Weymouth if you fancy it, West Fleet farm and East Fleet Farm. Hope this helps

Hi and welcome to UKCS.

Sorry I can't help with sites, - but on our first trip out we stuck to a site withing an hours drive of home, so that if we didn't like it, especially the kids, we could get home and OH go back for the tent, without too much hassle.
