The firds thing i always check out is the toilet block, this one was extremely clean and warm, the showers were roomy with plenty of hooks and seating to put your stuff on. The site itself was very quiet, we stayed on a gravel serviced pitch which was near the entrance so we could here road noise but that didnt bother us at all. Used the tv booster on the hook up panel to get tv signal to watch the england rugby match. had to teather my laptop to my moblie phone data and even then it was a bit slow. Stayed for 4 nights and went to see lots of places. Its a shame there wasnt a bus stop near the site to get into wareham and it was a shame there wasnt a footpath to the walkable pub down the road The silent woman so we could walk there in the evening for a drink, instead we drove there which meant one couldnt enjoy a drink. Was tempted to walk from the site but it was pitch black and would have been to dangerous without a path to go on. Had a warm welcome on arrival, very friendly people, i would go back again for sure.
Great week start of october .
Had a great week at Hunters moon with our two yorkies . Very good walks just off site in wareham forrest with well looked after stone roads/paths . Was able to keep dogs dry when walking on grass would get the soaked . Close to Poole and Bournmouth were dogs are allowed after the end of September .Have already booked again for next year .
Hunter Moon Sept 2019
Hunters Moon is an excellent site at any time of the year for families with children or for the solo caravanner. The wardens ensure that the facilities and the site itself are always clean.
If you are coming to the site from the Wareham roundabout TAKE CARE, the road passes the edge of the forest and is hilly and is nominally 50 MPH. However, there are, as always, drivers who think that this type of road is a chance for them to pretend to be rally drivers and they speed, Whilst we were there on the brow of a hill there was a serious accident with a car speeding over the brow of a hill hitting a group of cycalists coming the other way (reoad closed and at least 3 ambulances).
The only problems with the site is the usual one of the hardstands needing a hammer drill to make holes for the awning pegs. The site is a wi-fi bronze site so sometimes the connection is slooow but it gets there in the end.
The local pub, The Quiet Woman, serves excellent 'home cooked' meals and is well worth a visit.
There is a small supermarket in Wareham and a much larger ASDA in Poole.
All in all this site is well worth a visit, this was our third visit to the site, and I feel that if you want a relaxing break you could do a lot worse than visit Hunters Moon.

Great site for visiting the Isle of Purbeck.
We stayed for a week in early September 2019. The site has many trees, and is by and large level throughout, save for the large area for tents with adjoining open space and fenced dog exercise field at the southern part of the site. We had a splendid welcome when checking in, and soon selected an attractive pitch. A key card for the gate is needed to get into the site, but not for exit. There are two amenity blocks, both immaculately clean. The block near the western boundary features Radio 2 broadcasts, while the block to the east is silent.
We had a very good meal at the Public House "The silent Woman" (just south of the site) and can recommend it.The nearby Wareham Forest is a real gem - with marked trails and wonderful heathland scenery.
Wareham is a great little town; its two supermarkets can meet all your culinary needs. Free on-street parking is available in North Street (1 hour).
.All the attractions of Purbeck: Corfe, Swanage, Studland etc. are short travelling times away from the site, and we found Brownsea Island (just a little farther to go) to be a superb day out. All in all, we would certainly not hesitate to return to this site.

Great Site - Well maintained and really clean facilities
This was our first visit to a Caravan and Camping Club site and we were very pleased with what we found. Staff were helpful on arrival and were fine after we decided to change to a grass pitch after our first night on a hard standing one.
There is a small shop on site with some lovely fresh cakes baked each day and some other essentials. The dog walking area is fenced in which is great if you are a dog owner as no chance of losing the dog!
The facilities were really well maintained and the showers and toilet block clean.There was also a small launderette and you can access the forest path directly from the site.
We opted for the grassed area which as we felt a bit closed in on the hard standing pitches but this was our personal choice. Lots of places to visit around the area. Only reason I ave the peace and quiet a 4 star rating instead of five as per all the others was the little tractor mower which seemed to be driving around about 0845 most mornings before some people were up and about.
Would come here again.
Another excellent stay
This was our 3rd stay on this site with our two grandchildren, who once again loved it and actually asked if they could come back for a 3rd time!
All staff were very friendly and most helpful, especially Graham and his colleague who came to the rescue when our daughter and partner arrived to camp over the August bank holiday. He’d unfortunately forgotten the key to the roof luggage box. The two helpful wardens drilled the locking mechanism enabling the box to be opened and saving my daughters partner from driving back to Worcester or buying a new box and more importantly saved from a good telling off!! Thank you Graham & colleague (sorry we failed to get your name).
The weather was superb during the whole of our stay. Therefore we spent most days at Studland beaches. Grandchildren wanted nothing more, and of course that included a picnic.
Visited Corfe Castle which we all enjoyed....again.
A lovely memorable holiday with lots of fun and giggles. Oh and lovely friendly neighbours.
Hope to be back next year.
Overall nice stay - just a couple of tiny quibbles
Nice site - had been before. Toilets/showers clean but a lot of insects inside - who wants 2 mating moths above you when you’re showering. They were still there the next day, but gone the day after - thankfully. Site states WiFi poor - it’s awful but you can’t even use your own data! Surely the club can improve on this! We had to put up a windbreak to stop adults walking right past our door through our pitch to cut across to theirs! How lazy and rude! Also, caught a child riding their bike through. How can we expect kids to do the right thing when some of the adults don’t! We didn’t let this spoil our stay but would advise to arrive as early as poss to get good pitch!
Holiday
Arrived after a long trip, staff friendly on arrival,explained where pitches were available so when we found the pitch to let them know and you then get the tag for the gate. Showers and toilets always clean and tidy, bins etc were emptied on a regular basis. Great places to visit in the area, Wareham as lots of eating places, The Silent Woman pub which is just down the road from site was lovely, would recommend the Salmon it was awsome.
Would return in the future.
Superb wardens
Hunters moon is a lovely site, pitches are mostly hard standing, with some grass pitches also, and areas are separated with trees and hedges to give a more intimate feel to the site. It has a good play ares, and a safe enclosed field for dog exercising. The site has two shower/toilet blocks, both spotless, and a private gate to Wareham forest, ideal for walkers and four legged friends. Wareham is a good town to visit, two small supermarkets and many independent shops, and areas of interest, plus scenic spots such as Durdle door are within easy reach. The site is on a busy road so some noise is expected but is well worth a visit.
A word about the wardens. We had a couple of problems (of our own making) and they were all superb in helping us. What could have been a stressful week was anything but, all due to the wardens friendly advice and practical help, they are a real asset to the club.
Great site
On arrival, staff were unfriendly and short, not a good start having had a long journey. However this was the only negative. Other staff were very friendly and helpful, everything clean and tidy. Electric cut was dealt with well. Great location for a number of National Trust places.
The local pub, The Silent Woman, we visited at lunchtime and evening provided fabulous meals and service, great value for money. Can recommend the ploughmans lunch, salmon fillet and homemade steak and mushroom pie!
