Log in to write a review
We have just returned home after a week at hunters moon. We opted for a service pitch which we knew was quite close to the road. We were out most days and it was quieter than we expected at night.
The dog walking area is amazing and better than any other site we have been to.
The wardens were polite and helpful.
Weekend away
Had a weekend away with our friends site was a bit messy. Some trees could have been trimmed back as they were overhanging especially on the service pitches where we stayed. The soap dispenser in the male toilets was empty for 2 days but overall the shower blocks were clean enough. i did at one point ask the the grumpy wardens if i cloud borrow a small step ladder to tighten up a strap on our bike rack rack but was told no due to health and safety but to maybe go around the site and ask if any members had one i could borrow. All the wardens had to do was either say that if i borrowed it it would be at my own risk, or even dare i say to come out and just foot the steps ( there were 4 of them in the Office ) for me.
Probably wont rush to go back to this site although i do believe the current wardens are moving on soon.

Lovely location
This site is in a great location for visiting Wareham, Corfe Castle and the Dorset coast. Very friendly wardens who gave us a leaflet on walks from the site and useful information.
We pitched away from the travellers site on the opposite side of the site and had no problem with noise, but it was late Oct so cold outside.
Toilet blocks were clean , the grounds well kept. There is a barrier to go in and out so security good.
Great kids play area , one of the best we have seen on a site.
Would definitely return
End of season blues
We were greeted by a pleasant warden who gave us information about pitch availability and location.
The pitch was noisy due to the neighbouring site, not the club's fault.
The general state of the site was tired and unkempt; grass hadn't been cut, leaves not swept up, lots of weeds established on hardstanding pitches, over grown tree branches.I know the season is drawing to a close, but late season holiday makers are entitled to same level of service as early season.
The soap dispenser was not refilled during our stay.

Nice site but has issues
We were greeted by a miserable receptionist who converserd with the absolute minimum and never asked for our membership cards. Really felt welcome after a 6 hour trip! We pitched on the grass pitches which were quite spacious and quiet. Facilities were good and clean.
Security was very poor. We were given a key fob to enter the site and only used it twice in the 7 days we were there. The rest of the time the bar was raised, even at 05:30 on the morning we left. This meant access to anyone from the road and easy exit as it is an auto barrier when you exit.
We thought it was quiet until two evenings about 9pm when WW3 broke out. Tank fire, machine gun fire and helicopter activity for 2 - 3 hours. No mention of that in the site details. We had seen a range near Durdle Door but didn't think it was that close.
If you are going here and want a quiet stay I would suggest a phone call to see if they are aware of any army activity during your stay.
Despite this I would stay here again.

Noisy Neighbours
Facilities and site grounds clean and well maintained and although close to road noise level was acceptable, however the constant barking and sometimes howling at all times of the day from adjacent site was not acceptable and perhaps a comment should be included in the clubs on site directory.
Wifi was poor and phone signal almost non-existent, overwise the stay was acceptable.
Shame about the neighbours
Site and pitch were great. Toilets and showers very clean. Such a shame about the noise from the next door travellers site. Looking at other reviews seems we got off lightly with dogs barking and howling and the cockerel crowing. There was no noise from people, but it certainly put us off another visit. Shame because it's nice otherwise and very well situated
Fantastic
On arrival met by (presumably) husband & wife, very jolly and friendly. Made way to pitch and set up. Second trip as new member with new ( for me) motorhome. Very well laid out, very clean site. Very impressed. Good job morning Cockerell lived up to alarm clock or else could have carried on sleeping!! Busy road nearby but went quiet just after lights out, or maybe we were so relaxed and tired and didn't notice!! Overall loved it, and suitably impressed.
Disappointed
We stayed here for 4 nights in August. Agree with previous review, when checking in, lady was very curt. When I asked for a recommendation for a peaceful, quiet spot she advised all spots were quiet.
This was NOT the case. We stayed on pitch 21 and to the back is a Council Run Residential Caravan park. Dogs barking day and night, loud music and shouting.
We were told by another warden that we could move if we wanted but felt on day 2 of our stay, this was a little late.
I would not recommend parking anywhere along the back row - from pitch 25 down to pitch 14.
Good points - very clean and well maintained shower blocks - lovely hot showers with continuous water flow.
Nice little on site shop that sold fresh baked goods at the weekends.
Bus stop right outside the gate taking you to Wareham, the train station and beyond.
Direct access to the forest from the park - DONT forget to get the gate code to get back in!!
Also, lovely dog exercise field on the park.
It was such a shame about the noise at this park. If the lady at check in had of been honest with me, we could have parked on the grass area at the opposite side of the site which would have resulted in this review being much more positive.
Dont pitch on 15 - 20
Busy on arrival, lady in office was a little curt with people. Not what you want after a 4.5 hr journey that should be 2.5
We found a pitch No19, set up sat down with a brew and started to hear kids over the hedge, we thought it was another campsite, then dogs started barking.. this went on for a couple of hrs and we asked a neighbour how long it went on, he said the kids go quiet of a night, the dogs are contstant.
At this point we took the opportunity to move pitches. Fortunately we did have the awning.
We found out that it is a permanent travellers site.
Once set up we decided to head to the pub down the road, on the way out the main entrance we went to the office, I mentioned the noise and that it might be a good idea to mention to new arrivals that the noise can be an issue. I got a curt response.
The warden was helpful and explained there was a walk from back of site through woods etc to pub which is safer than road walk, cars come down the road very fast (50-60mph) and there is no path.
The walk takes an extra 10 mins (20mins total) and is very pleasant. Could be muddy after rain.
The pub is lovely, food is pub food, limited menu but nice. Staff are lovely, honest & helpful.
The site is ideally located for visiting the area
Ifs a clean site as all CAMH sites we have visited.
Rhere is NO telephone signal and wifi doesnt work. So be prepared.
All in all its an ok site.
