Mooie camping met loslopende herten, maar matig sanitair
Vriendelijke ontvangst, we hadden een hardstanding plaats gereserveerd, maar die lag volledig in de schaduw, dus gingen we voor gras. Wat ons tegenviel wat betreft het sanitair was dat de douches apart in een gebouwtje zaten en ook nog eens erg smal zonder een bankje voorin. Was je klaar met douchen moest je naar het volgende gebouwtje waar de washokjes waren(overigens af te sluiten met een(douche)gordijn voor de finishing touch of tanden poetsen en zo meer. Ook vonden we het tijdstip van schoonmaken(10 uur)aan de vroege kant. Daar ook geen gewone wc’s maar droog- en/of composttoiletten. Dat is overigens prima te doen, je moet enkel niet in dat gat kijken, maar het stinkt beslist niet. Het zal het beleid van de camping zijn, even als de wifi, die was er niet, wel op papier, maar niet op de plek, zelfs niet vooraan bij de slagboom. Afwasplek ook buiten, wel ingebouwd, plek voor 2 waar wij stonden. Er is een spoor achter de camping, welke deze scheid van de camping van die andere club, maar geen schaduwplekken zo te zien, met een station op loopafstand, welke te bereiken via een poort elders op de camping. Wij hebben geen last gehad van de treinen, die overdag toch erg regelmatig langsrijden en toeteren en het geluid(alarm)van de overgang. Maar wij stonden er niet vlak tegenaan, verderop was dat wel het geval. Ook lopen er herten(soms vlakbij de plek), konijnen en eekhoorntjes. Verder een hele mooie camping.
What a pleasant surprise.
What a pleasant surprise this site was,I had only booked it for a couple of nights as an overnight stop on way home,but we enjoyed the peace and quiet,the ambience,so much we stayed on further.
We had pitched on a grass pitch,easy wide reverse from site roads, such a difference from normal club sites,where reversing can be tight.
The strange thing is,this is more like a New Forest site than you get from this Club's two in the New Forest,with pitches in wooded glades.
The Frampton Arms is a 5 minute walk ,from a side gate,for an evening drink,food is available but we didn't eat there.
Beaches are nearby,especially the touristy Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door,but you must make a day of it as car parking is pricey.
Wareham is nearby for shopping,but as we only had an hour or so,we didn't really walk around it.
Others have said about the train tooting as they cross the road,but it is very minor for the advantages of this site.

Fantastic Site and Staff
This has got to be the best Club Site we have ever been to. So peaceful and quiet set amongst mature trees with lots of wildlife including deer. The wardens were so friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. I did wonder about the compost toilets but they were absolutely fine. We loved it here so much, we've already booked to stay again. Thank you for such a peaceful and enjoyable stay.

Lovely forest with deer and a few caravans and motorhomes
This is a beautiful, peaceful, natural site - except for some train toots, which we did not mind and which did not seem to occur at night - or we slept through them! The wildlife was wonderful - very tame deer. Wardens kind and helpful. Thank you. We spent a whole day there - which we don't normally do - it was that nice :-)

Enjoyable Stay
Lovey stay, set amongst open woodland with plenty of small flat areas to pitch. Very peaceful with deer roaming around lovely to watch. Facilities nice and clean , great to hot showers with a stool and hanging space, even a shelf for soaps etc.
It is by a main train line with a station just outside the site, which can get you to Weymouth , and the other to Bournemouth, trains run every hour and finished late in the evening. There is the Breezer bus service which you can pick up from near Wareham train station to get you Swanage.
Very convenient with easy access., and welcoming staff

A lovely stay at Crossways
First time at this site and what a lovely stay, we originally booked for 2 nights and decided to extend our stay for a further 2 days because we liked it so much.
The deer were a novelty, much tamer than the ones in the New Forest. My dog was eyeing up the venison!!
The facilities were spotless, showers were hot and welcoming, and I was so delighted to see that the site had installed compost loos, just be sure you don't have your mobile in your back pocket when you sit down on the toilet!!!!
There is easy access to public transport - bus and train. My only quibble, which has nothing to do with the campsite itself is the main road. There is a co-op about 10 minutes from the site but the paths are fairly narrow and the traffic hares down the road at great speed.
Big thanks to the staff for making us so welcome, we will certainly be back again in the future.
Peaceful and relaxing site
First stay at this site and will definitely return. All staff were really polite and so helpful. The deer wandering through the site are a real treat to see. Facilities were all clean and well maintained although perhaps a bit dated
The Frampton Arms which can be accessed via a gate on site is well worth a visit. Sunday roast was immense and really tasty and local ale at £2.50 a pint!!
Super site
Super welcoming site with nearby pub, dog friendly, train station and handily placed for Bournemouth/Swanage/Weymouth. Deer roaming freely throughout the site good size pitches and spotlessly clean.

Perfect place
Been to this site a number of times and have been on a different pitch each time, every one of them have been excellent, the deers visited us where ever we set up.
The facilities are clean (showers and toilets) staff are so helpful and friendly.
We had EHU on a grass pitch every time which have been flat, just remember to twist your plug when you connect up. :-)
The train line is close and convenient to travel to either Weymouth,Poole or Bournemouth.
Also the pub next to the station (approx 400 m away)
The Frampton Arms do great meals and a great pint.
Overall a perfect place.
