 Lovely site about a 30 minute walk from the seafront in Swanage, but with buses if required just outside the site (and also to Bournemouth). There's also a couple of footpaths to from with site with good walking.
Good sized tent flat pitches, although some parts were a little bare by September. Very nice clean toilets and washing up facilities.
There's a swimming pool which needs to be booked via reception, we went in the 0800 adults-only session.
The on site village pub is really nice with excellent food, and used by both locals and visitors. The beer garden at the back is one of the nicest I've been to. The staff we met were friendly and helpful.
The area is lovely, and we would definitely stay here again.

Little gem of a site. Not far to walk into swanage, lovely pub/ restaurant that serves great food at a reasonable price.
Stayed on a fully serviced hardstand. Hard stand consists of flint pebbles and large stones.
Rock pegs required for sure. Loos and showers very clean, employees very helpful and full of information.
Will stay there again, but a little later in the year.
Had a bit of a blow and had to double peg awning down.

Great location with decent facilities. We stayed on a hardstanding pitch which suited us given the recent weather.
It has a swimming pool although we didn't use it, there is an on site pub too which was welcome after travelling and popping up the awning.
Public transport into Swanage or to Bournemouth via Sandbanks right outside the site entrance if you're tired of driving.
We will be back

We stayed in the new Delta Den, a one bed static. £90 for 2 people for 2 nights - lovely.
Towels and linen are provided.
There is a good shower room with excellent shower, a kitchen with full fridge, 2 electric hobs and a convection/grill microwave as well as a toaster and kettle. In the lounge is a tv and electric fire.
The single bedroom is a great size with double bed and loads of storage. Central heating made it toasty. Outside was a balcony with table and chairs and lovely views.
Unfortunately the new double bed was way too hard and bouncy, and very uncomfortable, as were the 2 Poang (Ikea) chairs in the lounge. There could have been a cafetière in the kitchen as this is for couples, but sadly not. They also looked totally out of place. I did raise these points with Reception at checkout.
We ate at the Village on site, one night. The service and food was excellent and well priced.
Anne at the Village shop deserves special mention, as she did want to let us borrow her cafetière, but couldn't find it.
All in all a real change from our usual fortnights camping here, but one we thoroughly enjoyed, and can't wait to repeat

Lovely pitches !
Immaculate facilities great showers.
Handily placed for many attractions nearby but just off a main road.
Fantastic value for money as I stayed in a “hikers pitch” which was £8pppn including electric! Only available to small tents less than 2. 5 m I think.
Will be back soon!

Dramatic setting amongst hills. We were assigned a grassed pitch with hookup conveniently next to our daughter's family in their caravan.
Enjoyed a cycle ride along the lanes to Corfe castle and back, and visited Monkey World, Kimmeridge Bay, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door by car.
Shower and toilet block very good and generally clean, bar a few details/splash marks others have mentioned which I put down to some of the other users. Perhaps management could review the scope of their cleaner visits re sinks and splashbacks.
Did not use the pool or restaurant this trip.

The prices have rocketed and the cleaning standards have plummeted.
In the last 3 years the prices out of season have rocketed from around £12 a night to £21. Sadly the standards of cleanliness haven’t matched that rise, quite the opposite.
During the 5 nights we were there this November the toilets had barely been touched. By the time we left 3 of the men’s 5 cubicles had run out of toilet paper, 2 had run out for 2 days before then. There was a brown streak on one sink (possibly blood from cleaning teeth) that was there 2 days before we left and was still there on the morning we left. But for me, worst of all, was on the day we arrived there were extensive “splash” marks on the boards between and around the men’s urinals that were still there when we left 5 days later. These “splash” marks were so obvious and extensive that I was amazed the cleaners hadn’t seen them. The men’s urinals had some serious drainage issues too.
The park is set in a lovely location with easy bus access to the town. There is a swimming pool on site, which we didn’t use and the pub/bar has been refurbished to a high standard.
We left feeling that given the sharp rise in prices and the poor standard of cleaning, its not somewhere we’d want to return to.

A lovely peaceful campsite set between rolling hills which is excellent for walkers and mountain bikes. Had a nice new hard standing pitch and they seem to be creating new ones. Thought the toilet/shower block in the touring field was modern and of a high standard but the one shaving mirror between six sinks in the gents may create problems in busy periods. We thought the food at the Village Inn was excellent for the price and nice to see a real ale on tap also. The open top bus caught by the site entrance to Bournemouth via the ferry and Sandbanks was very interesting. We walked to Corfe castle also and caught buses back but there is also the option of the steam train. Reception on arrival ok and the free Wi Fi was an added bonus.

Stayed for a couple of days between Christmas and New Year. Enjoyed our stay and we will definitely return to this site as it's in a great location, is good value for money and has good facilities. The only downsides are: no indoor washing up facilities which I think are definitely needed for a campsite that is open all year, can't control the temperature on the showers so you only have one temperature, luckily on our visit it was hot! Pitches are a good size and the site is easy to access. We went for a drink in the bar which was nice and busy, we didn't eat there so can't comment on the food. Easy walk into Swanage and there is also a regular bus which passes by right outside the site. We wanted to do a coastal walk and although there was nothing in the reception, the man on reception was really helpful and drew a couple
Of options on a map. Will definitely return to this site.
