Hunter's Moon Club Campsite lies just on the edge of the lovely Wareham Forest. This pleasant campsite, with play area and dog walk, provides an excellent base for touring the lovely area of Dorset. Many of the area's most attractive locations are safeguarded by the National Trust, including substantial stretches of unforgettable scenic coastline. It is rich in combes, cliffs, bays and islands - particularly rewarding for the visitor interested in bird life and walking. The nearby Golden Cap, of which the National Trust owns, 2,000 acres of hills, farmlands and beaches, has the highest cliff in England and delights with its covering of brilliant yellow gorse.
This is Thomas Hardy country and visitors to Hunter's Moon Club Campsite will recognise many of the scenes described in his novels. His birthplace, a charming thatched cottage with its garden magnificently ablaze with colour is situated at Higher Bockhampton, within easy reach from the campsite. Also of great interest in the area and only a short 10 mile journey away is the house at Cloud's Hill, popular because it once belonged to the famous Lawrence of Arabia. At certain times during the month, the delightful market town of Wareham holds a small but well-stocked farmers market. The area offers good transport links with a railway station at Wareham, which also offers car parking and onward bus travel to the coastal towns of Poole, Bournemouth, Swanage and Weymouth. Not to be missed are the National Trust’s Brownsea Island and Corfe Castle along with the wonderful New Forest.

Clean, friendly, great location
Hunter's Moon Club Campsite
This has been our “go to” site since we joined the club - close enough to get to on a Friday after work, lots to do around it. We have had to go elsewhere a few times recently as with the Swanage site shut for the season, it is currently very busy so book early. We enjoy going to Park Run on a Saturday morning, and there are three or four in easy reach. Conveniently located to go down the peninsular to Corfe and Swanage, or across to Poole, Sandbanks and Bournemouth.
Nice big enclosed dog field, very friendly staff. Shop now has some basic groceries and baked goods which is handy - but it’s closed for a good part of the day. WiFi has now been upgraded and seems to reach most of the site. Don’t park on the pitches furthest from the shop if you don’t want to listen to constant barking from the dogs on the travellers site behind. Like the road noise at the front though, not really intrusive when inside your van.
Handy having two toilet blocks so one is always open; happy they still have bins next to the facilities unlike so many sites who have moved them to the main entrance.
Overall, nice sized pitches, clean facilities, friendly staff, and very easy to reach (no narrow roads or lanes) We will be staying again soon (as long as we can book a pitch!)
Nice site and friendly people, but needs some updating and traveller site next door noisy
Hunter's Moon Club Campsite
The site is in a lovely location, close to Wareham and giving access to Poole, Dorchester, Weymouth, Corfe Castle, Portland Bill, Lulworth Cove etc… There is a bus stop directly outside which is very handy. Used that to get into Wareham and walked/ran back on forest trails.
We were on pitch 40 so didn’t suffer too much from road noise but did get the full benefit of the dogs next door. Initially thought it was a kennels, but transpired it was a traveller site. The first evening they were quiet by 10:30 (though woke early) but next two nights they kicked off in the early hours. Whilst the club cant control this noise, they could advise about it. We would have chosen a pitch toward the left hand side.
The hard standing is rock hard - we broke rock pegs! Plus lots of weeds sprouting. Needs some general maintenance.
The site seemed a bit packed in, though I’m sure the spacing was adequate.
Toilets and showers brilliant and always immaculate. Drier worked well in laundry too!
With a bit of investment to update the grounds and advice to park away from the ‘neighbours’ the site would be fine
Lovely site in a great location
Hunter's Moon Club Campsite
We had a lovely 4 night break at this site. Location is perfect for cycling or walking from the site, both locally or further afield to the likes of Swanage, Corfe Castle, Lulworth or Poole. So much to see and do, 3 full days wasn't enough time.
Great facilities, well-maintained. The toilets and showers are modern and they were spotless. Grass pitches were well-kept, whilst the hard-standing pitches were also clean and attractive.
On the subject of dogs barking, there was one day when we could hear a dog somewhere in the distance. Truthfully, if I hadn't had my attention drawn to it, I don't think I would have noticed. There are signs around asking us to contact reception if we were bothered by it. We weren't. I was listening to the birds, of which there are plenty.
The wardens were helpful throughout and were always visible, working around the site.
We would love to return, to complete our exploration of a beautiful area.
Great site

Needs Work
Hunter's Moon Club Campsite
We visited this site about three years ago and it was looking tired and scruffy. Sad to say, it's looking worse now. I spoke to the wardens about it because virtually every pitch looks threadbare, covered in weeks, with a marked lack of gravel and evidence everywhere of temporary patching. Our pitch - 44 - was so thin as to be like rock underfoot. The pitch next door might as well have been classed as grass. Apparently the wardens have no control over decisions to spend money on maintenance, which means the Area Manager has to approve expenditure. I took multiple pictures - which I can't upload here, it seems - which show what I mean, though ANY member of any longevity will recognise that in fact the Club's pitches are gradually deteriorating anyway, this at a time when pitch prices have markedly increased in cost and now appear to drive ever-more keen "special offers" to entice custom.
If you can get the Regional manager to visit, send him down the road to the Wareham Forest Commercial site. That is an example of what the Club USED to be like.
Meanwhile the "free" wifi at 1mb is patently worse than uselss, the pay-wifi is horrifically expensive (I didn't even try it here, but my last stay at Merrose I nearly near fainted at the £5.00 a DAY per device. This is the third - at least - incarnation of wifi at the Caravan Club and each has become progressively worse and more expensive than the last.
The facilities were fine, the location was our principal reason for the visit (though we'd normally use the site at Haycraft, which is currently closed) and the area generally is worth a visit.
I'm afraid the Club - which is hugely profitable, has enormous cash reserves and a very strong and growing balance sheet - has rather lost the charm and quality which so impressed us in the "old days" - but it really does need to regain both if they are not to lose yet more caravanners to commercial sites and CL's.
