Good for families

Great for Walking

This is a small, but perfectly adequate site which is beautifully maintained. The toilet block is small as well, but always spotless and works a lot better than many others on the network. From a walkers point of view it is great as you can use the Swanage Steam Railway to link up a whole range of superb walks. It is about a quarter of a mile down the lane, and the warden sells discounted tickets. Unfortunately, it is not unusual for other impatient members to spoil the arrival experience on this site. The approach lane is narrow with small passing places, and on more than one occasion when arriving at about 12.15pm, other outfits are queuing all along the driveway, even out into the lane, blocking it for other traffic. There's a reason here for the 12.00 arrival/departure rule, because you don't want to meet an outfit coming in the opposite direction, which is quite possible as some do like to hang on to the last minute. Because of this, the wardens wisely adhere strictly to the instructions, but sadly some members don't, and even arrive as much as an hour early we are told. Hence the queuing and resulting chaos caused by impatient early arrivals hoping to grab the best pitches. In reality, most of the pitches here are perfectly OK and it's such a pleasant site so you will still have a nice time.
