Wareham forest is a favourite of ours.

Its situated in the forest so has lots of walks/tracks etc direct from site so ideal for walking/biking.

The site has outdoor pool/play area and plenty of space for children to let off steam. The site loos/showers are immaculate and there is a small onsite shop.  Not too far away is the town of Wareham for shopping/supplies etc and if you want beaches - swanage, studland bay, bournemouth etc are not far away.

For days out - Monkey world and Bovington tank museum are close (during the summer the tank museum hold feature days where they reinact displays - firing the tanks etc which our young nephews loved)

I would say wareham forest is an ideal site for an active/outdoor type family, bear in mind its not glitzy and there's no entertainment.

bagwell Farm Chickerell Weymouth is fantastic it has fantastic Views of the fleet and chesil beach lovely family pub in converted Barn, Pets corner, games room and play area and is also dog friendly with it's own special doogie toilet field, has well stocked shop and large well spaced out pitches, also has a regular bus service into Weymouth at a very reasonable price would reccomend the bus as carparking in Weymouth is rather expensive.
