Thank you Trevor and Claire who are superstar wardens. This site is one of our favourites and the last trip of the year for us in our California is always Haycraft. The wardens can not and I mean can not be faulted! For those who haven't visited before the site is half way up a hill - so be prepared to walk up and down hill if you wish to take the bus or the train. I noticed a bus stop at the bottom of the road although we have never used it, but have hiked up the steep hill to use the bus stop at the top of Haycrafts Lane. There are some grass pitches but they are currently applying to make more hard standing (Trevor told us), I agree the lower level next to the hedge can be much cooler as there is little sun on that side. The top level is lovely and sunny but obviously gets very hot in summer. When it's wet the grass is very wet as is the dog walk as water runs through the site. There are three showers in the ladies and four loos and some private cubicles for washing, always lovely and clean, a nice little shop and information. Ideally located for visiting the Purbecks, Swanage, Studland, Wareham, Corfe Castle - you can walk to Corfe cross country - couple of miles or lanes slightly longer. You can also walk to Swanage via the coast path but for the fit and able. The train is wonderful - worth a trip. Durlston Country Park is really nice to visit. Studland owned by NT so if you are not a member £10 for a motor home to park in peak time. The coast path is stunning ! All in all a very popular site because of all the benefits and we can't wait for our next visit.
