hank you Hunter's Moon. Brilliant customer service. After the inertial hiccup with the dates we arrived on the 29/01/2018 for our very first stay in our motorhome. Made very welcome and the advice was spot on. Clean facilities, very quiet even though near main road, easy to find. Would recommend this site any time. This was our very first time as motorhomers and my birthday on the 30/01/2018 was a lovely sunny day with a visit to Lulworth Cove in the morning followed by Swanage and Poole in the afternoon.
Great first overnighter
This was our first full weekend away in our new, to us, motorhome. I had lots of questions and was treated with patience. The pitch was a good size and in a reasonable location. The site is very peaceful. The facilities are exceptionally well kept and warm and bright. We shall return to discover more about the local area and especially the Sika cycling routes nearby which were dry whilst the surrounding land was boggy after very heavy rain. Great for families.

A great stay in mid January
Our first visit to this site, and we were very pleased with the facilities, the well kept grounds and friendly staff. Only stayed one night, but we will definitely return. Staff helpful and friendly. Toilet and wash area was clean, warm and well maintained. A great short break!
Easy access to Wareham, where we enjoyed a river walk, a useful trip to the local Sainsbury's and some great fish and chips. Plenty to do in the local area, even in January.
Mid January stay
Really liked this site. Easy site to find and good roads all the way from home, including the last mile or so on a minor road. Arrived as the staff were closing for the day but they were more than happy to wait for us to find a pitch and then return to the reception area to confirm the pitch number so that a gate pass could be issued. Trouble was there were too many pitches to choose from, as there were so few units already on site. The pitch we chose, 35, gave us a good satellite tv picture and easy access to the toilets/showers (which were always clean and tidy). We will definitely be back, sooner rather than later. Might avoid school holidays though as I rather think it may be busier then, given the proximity to so many places to explore. If you like walking then visit Winspitt Quarry, Durdell Door, Swanage for a ride on the steam train, Corfe Castle, Studland, the list is endless for this area.
Good stay over the Christmas Holidays
Good clean site. Toilet / shower blocks very clean and well looked after and loved the music playing
Wardens friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed their New Years get together with wine and nibbles. A nice touch and well supported by many members
Area lovely for walks although weather poor with much rain which made some of the walks a little more muddy.
Access to a number of places including Weymouth, Swanage, Chesil Beach that we visited was easy to find
Great pub approx half a mile down the road which was dog friendly.
Good sized dog walk with lots of trees and bushes
An enjoyable stay and would love to visit in better weather
Disappointed this year.
6th visit this year but a bit disappointed with the maintenance around the toilet block. The leaves where rarely cleaned from the waste water drain causing it to overflow or from the guttering which had weeds growing in it. The washing up sinks smelt as if the hadn't been cleaned recently and smelled of rotten vegatables. The ladies toilet needed a catch put on the door to keep it shut and in the temperatures we've been having made the block very cold.
Finally the toilet and shower blockes were not cleaned properly or regularly. Dirt in the showers stayed on the floor for 3 days running and they didn't smell like the usual club cleanliness. Today when we left the warden put some new toilet rolls in the gents but did no cleaning. The female toilet was visited for3 minutes so no cleaning there. Not the expected standard.

Great site
Stayed here in November for a night. Was greeted by friendly staff, we pitched up near the back. The toilet facilities were lovely and clean, nice touch to have radio playing in the background. Really good size dog area on site and lots of footpaths from site. No complaints from us would definitely return if in the area.
Great Site in Winter
We have just visited this site for the third time and always in winter as this fits our touring programme. The site facilities have steadily improved and are very good indeed. We booked a fully serviced pitch and it worked well despite the fallen leaves being attracted to the drain. The welcome was warm, as were the spotless shower blocks and the whole site was very tidy considering the time of year and weather. The main road can be noisy with some big lorries passing but this did not cause us any problems.
The site is well situated with easy access for even large units and there is plenty of walking directly from the site or from the Sika Trail car park about a mile south towards Wareham. The off road circular walk to and around the Saxon walled town of Wareham is a favourite.The Silent Woman was great for meals and beer as usual, lovely and warm, very friendly and attentive staff and brilliant food (The venison steak was awesome!).
An easy drive away is Swanage where the sandy beach is open to dogs Oct-May and there are cliff top walks to Old Harry and Durlston Head. Don't miss Lulworth Cove, where the Boat Shed Cafe on the beach is a great for coffee and a snack, and the iconic Durdle Door with more walking and swimming.Only down side is that the Club WiFi is poor.
Full marks for Hunters Moon!
What a wonderful site! We received a warm welcome from the temporary wardens who were really helpful and friendly. We chose pitch 32 which is nicely tucked away in the corner by the washrooms, backing on to the path leading down to the rear gate into Wareham Forest and the path to the play area and dog field. It was a nice, quiet site, with morning visits from the pheasants and evening visits from the owls. We were worried that, in winter, it would be a bit shaded by the trees but it was fine - we even managed to sit in the afternoon sunshine a couple of times. However, I probably wouldn't want this pitch in the summer unless we had our grandchildren with us, as it could possibly get busy with passing traffic of children on their way to the play area. In the winter it was fairly quiet and secluded, apart from the dog owners who tramped across our pitch - if we'd put the awning up I swear some would have walked through it! We are dog owners and if it irritated us, it would really annoy those without!
The dog field was excellent, with a wooded area for kicking up the leaves and playing hide the ball! We saw lots of birds here, including jays.
The showers and toilets were spotless (apart from when used by those who have not mastered the art of using a toilet brush!) and 99% of the time I saw no-one else in there. Not sure if anyone else does this, but I always take my own bath mat - saves cold feet or dried feet becoming wet again.
We tried The Silent Woman but weren't overly impressed - the pub and staff were very nice, but the food wasn't really that good. However, go down to Wareham Market on a Saturday and try the filo pies which are amazing.
We recommend RSPB Arne with the walk down to Shipstal Beach, and Tyneham Village - both wonderful!
Thank you to the lovely couple who helped by opening the gate to let in the ambulance when my husband fell ill on our last night. At 11pm it was so kind of you, and I'm sorry we didn't see you before we left but I hope you got my note.
A wonderful site, wonderful weather (sunny but cold) and one of the best weeks we have had so far.
Enjoyed our 5 nights at Hunters Moon
We have enjoyed our stayed at Hunters Moon, the the site is well managed, the relief
wardens both made us welcome, they have worked tirelessly to pick up the autumn leave around the site. The toilet block was spotless every time we used them, shame the heating temp was not upped a degree or so when the temperature dropped down to 2 degrees.
Enjoyed visiting the local area, if you are here on a Saturday visits the Wareham market, the farmer selling pies is good to browse, the steak and Guinness pie is a very good choice.
