Liked: Nothing
Disliked: The shower/toilet block for the touring area are an abomination. They smell disgusting all the time they are filthy, I felt dirtier after a shower than I did before my shower. The showers trickle and to say they are tepid is being generous. The cleaner walks round with a pink spray. Sprays the sinks and disappears. Not in any way are they a good experience. We paid £200 for 4 nights but that only gets you the pitch. EVERYTHING else is an additional cost. Alcohol - we had 1 Guinness and a medium wine it cost £15!!!! needless to say we didn't drink in there again. The hot taps in the ladies had NO water coming through for two days, and that was after constant complaints. Shocking, shocking,shocking. Don't bother with this site if you are a tourer. You are definitely considered a second class citizen.

Liked: Plenty of activities for children as long as you book in advance if you don’t book you won’t get on anything especially during half terms. Great location for exploring Dorset, 25 min drive to durdle door, Lulworth cover and sandbanks.
Disliked: Shower block was disgusting, showers didn’t work half the time and when they did they were cold and a trickle of water. We found going at 10:00pm to be the best time to get warm and sufficient amount of water. Very noisy pitch with lots of late night revellers which was fine but no staff to support if you needed it. The pool showers were stone cold and ran out of water, the pool is also freezing cold, the outdoor pool was actually warmer.

Liked: The stuff for children to do is fantastic, things are a bit pricey, but isn’t everything now a days. The club house is brilliant the staff is friendly the stage team were fantastic. Food was average.
Disliked: The showers in the touring side weren’t the greatest, just a little water coming out, but the cleaning of them were ok.
