I decided to choose another local location for a weekend getaway. I found the situation of the site right in the middle of the racetrack amazing. I loved the dog walk looping around the 2 mile track which was perfect as was a tarmacked path which was great for my sons scooter. It would have been fantastic to have been there when the horse racing was on as you would be closer than those who had paid for tickets to enter, literally fence side seats !! You can walk into Haldon Forrest itself although the good old English weather stopped us from doing that. Everyone on site were lovely and friendly. The wardens were fantastic and welcoming and keep a very tidy site. The showers, ok aren't the most modern, but were very warm and very clean. We definitely be returning and most definitely on a race day !!
