Holiday 2015

Stayed here before off-season and on the strength of this, booked for 14 nights as the location of our 2015 summer holiday.  No issues with the Wardens who were their usual helpful and friendly self, but I have to say in my view the facilities are inadequate for the number of pitches (it was full during our first week and nearly full for our second) and as a result, a queue formed to use the washrooms.  Don't know if it was because of the use that they were getting, but the smaller of the two blocks had a persistent bad drain smell late afternoon despite the attentions of the site staff in giving it a good clean during the morning closed period; because of this, I used my vans shower in preference. Otherwise, the site was excellent. it is conveniently situated for visits to the Purbeck Peninsula (Swanage, Studland beaches and Corfe Castle), and more wider afield to Kingston Lacy and Weymouth.  One visit we did that I would highly recommend was to Brownsea Island - allow a full day, take a bag of shelled peanuts and your camera and the delightful red squirrels will soon come to you - but a dry day is a must for this as shelter is somewhat limited if wet. For families, there is a small play area at the corner of the grassed pitches, and a fairly large dog walk for those needing to exercise their pet. Access is by means of a controlled barrier, but this adds rather than detracts from the feeling of security on site. Overall, I have reduced my rating because of the washroom issue but notwithstanding this, I would visit again.
