Just had 10 nights at this wonderful site at the end of August. Site is very, very peaceful and yes the lower pitches are a bit tight and the shower block could do with updating but it didn't spoil our enjoyment at all. We were pitched on the lower part of site on a hardstanding and initially thought the pitch was very tight but we managed even using our canapy and parking our 4x4 across the front of the pitch. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and the site is well cared for. Good dog walk too which is always welcome. The weather was absolutely fantastic and is always a bonus. We loved the surrounding area which was new to us and we enjoyed exploring. We thought Swanage was a lovely seaside town, went to Poole and beyond a couple of times and used the ferry from Sandbanks across to Studland, which was a very good service and saved using the very busy route between Poole and Swanage. We also visited Lulworth Cove, Tyneham village/Worbarrow Bay, Durston Country Park - which we enjoyed. Wareham looked lovely but didn't explore this time - so much to come back for another time. I have only put 3 stars for 'Good for families' purely because we had no kids with us so don't know how families viewed this site. There is a large field for a play area but the few kids that were on site during our stay seemed to be content playing on bikes, scooters etc. We have looked at this site for a few years and are so pleased that we made the long journey from Derbyshire - we shall definitely be returning.
