Fabulous place for kids. We barely used the entertainment, as the weather was wonderful and we are 'outdoor types'.
The beach IS dangerous and small children should be held even when paddling - and take beach shoes, as it is very shingly and sandals are useless (the shop never had any in stock!). Still good fun and the river is good for fishing and fun - small dinghies cost under £20.
Swimming pools excellent and I thought the lifeguards were diligent.
Pony trekking is £10 a time, and though some of the horses were old they were well cared for, and I can't see it is a rip off to make £100 an hour 5 hours a day for 4 months of the year, when it takes 5 staff and fodder and land costs to run the place. I would be surprised if they broke even! Short donkey and pony rides were 50p a time.
We are already planing next year's trip. Note that some areas for tents are a long way from the loos, and some pitches much bigger than others. We would never have got the Wynnster on our pitch.

WOW what a site, fantastic, clean and accomodating facilities, Super friendly staff, Great shop, near the beach, donkeys and horses.
This site deserves all of its stars and many more.
We can't wait to go back in 2005 for extended 2 week break. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Stayed for a week . 3rd time we've gone.The site has everything you need . Entertainment is primarily aimed at the kids but after 9pm it has a more adult theme .
Swimming pools are first class but grounds are infested with Rabbits who leave their mark on the grass and is difficult to pick a spot !!
Shop is top notch but has a tendancy to overcharge on many items , to be expected I guess.
Although it has a Fish and Chip shop , one can't help but feel it needs expanding , maybe a Chinese or an Indian ???
The Shower blocks are mantained to a very high standard.
Pitches are spacious and clean with ample water points.
The downside is its "PRIVATE" beach. It is far too dangerous for anyone to swim in . It is part of the Chesil Beach stretch and is renouned for its shingle drop, a few metres into the sea. I saw no people in the water as I can only guess that they knew too.
However it is a Haven for Fisherman, during the late afternoon where Mackerel and Dogfish are in abundance.
Overall 9/10 an enjoyable campsite and would definately go back next year.

Very clean, friendly staff and my kids of 3,5 and 7 loved the entertainment. Bit of a hike up the hill to go back to the tent, but so good we are going back again in the summer holidays.

This was our first camping trip, I`m so pleased we picked this site very clean brand new toilets and shower block all free even hair dryers!! Fantastic views. Staff very friendly. Club could do with being bigger and they could improve takeaway facilities, oh yes LOOK OUT FOR THE DONKEYS visit and you`ll know what I mean!!!

We all enjoyed our holiday even though there could be improvement.
The evening entertainment is family orientated with the kids on the stage and happy parents clapping on. However, we English take on the beings of Germans and you have to be really early in order to hold on to a table and chairs. Mainly Standing room only at a push. The kids mades loads of friends and the dog walking field leads on to lovely walks along the cliffs or down to the shingle beach.
The showers and toilet facility were clean and free, ample water and waste taps etc and the shop and chippy were good but expensive.
One major importance is for parents never to let their kids go swimming alone. The life guards were very young and had tendancies to fool around with each other rather than watch the pools and the beach has no flags to advise you whether or not it is safe to swim. This particular stretch of beach is prone to sudden changes in the sea. With devastating results.

This is the second time we have come here, because we came to Freshwater last year and enjoyed it so much we decided to return. As usual, we asked to go into the overflow feild. But it had changed, now the pitches are marked out and are very small, with no room to play catch or anything. You could no longer get to the donkey feild behind either.
Apart from this, I still enjoyed Freshwater. The pool is ok, warm and you can take in inflatable rings (when its not too crowded). I have never enjoyed the club that much there, but then I'm not too interested in them anyway. There was also an age restriction saying that children must be accompanied by adults, which I found unfair.
The main toilet block is large and quite clean. The overflow portaloo's weren't the cleanest, but they were ok.
The horse riding is exceptionally good, very good prices, beautiful and well behaved horses (and donkeys), and nice long rides. (you may trot and exprienced people may canter and even gallop with an instructor present). I enjoyed the donkey derby (a weekly event for all the family).
There is a private beach belonging to the park but it's shingle and theres drops in the sea, making it unsafe for children without supervision but there is a stream to play in too.
The staff are extremly friendly and I would considor going back.

A very good place for children. Lots of entertainment, but really focused on the youngsters, and teenagers My son is twelve and didn't really fit into that arena. Nevertheless the place is fantastic my husband and I enjoyed it. Toilets and showers were ok, the place was clean and tidy bleach was lovely.

This is a super site, excellent for children, it is extremely good value for money.It has the benefit of having it's own private beach, which is great fun for the kids as it has a river mouth flowing into it.The pitches are all well marked and spacious. It is great to be so near the sea,although the sea breeze can be a bit forceful at times, worth considering the weather forecast when choosing your pitch!The shower/toilet blocks are very good and plentiful.My children thoroughly enjoyed the donkey derby and the sports day, both are weekly events during the summer season.All the staff are friendly and helpful, the shop is well stocked and the takeaway is very useful!
