New

Well-equipped and well-established Dorset touring park
Excellent location 10 minutes' drive from Bournemouth and New Forest
Heated outdoor pool on site; meet the site's talking parrots

Ever stayed at a touring park that’s got talking parrots on site, and has a ski slope a couple of minutes’ walk away? Well, those are just a couple of the treats in store for guests at Longfield Caravan Park, a premium family-run site in the wonderful Dorset countryside. The chatty birds have been living in the aviaries here for more than 50 years, and they’ve become a popular attraction in that time… but they’re far from the only fabulous feature at this well-established and well-equipped park. The lovely solar-heated outdoor pool is another excellent attraction – and it’s safely fenced off to give parents peace of mind on pool days. The touring pitches (on gravel and grass, with space for an awning) have been nicely laid out around this parkland setting, with mature hedges and pine trees providing shade, privacy and a lovely green backdrop for your break. Handy facilities include a launderette, an Elsan point, a grey waste disposal point and bathrooms with male and female showers and toilets, plus accessible bathrooms. Location-wise, this site scores very highly, too – it’s easily accessed from the A338, about halfway between Ringwood and Christchurch (and about 10 minutes’ drive from both). That location puts you within easy reach of the New Forest National Park, the Dorset coast and heaps of great family activities. Not that you have to get in the car if you don’t want to: you could simply walk to SnowTrax Alpine Activity Centre (500 metres away, and home to a café as well as the ski slopes) or cross the road to walk your dog across the heath.

Electric grass and gravel pitch

Liked: On arrival we were greeted by the owner who talked us through everything that was on site , he was very friendly and helpful, the site was clean and quiet and ideal for local attractions , the toilets and shower facilities were clean at all times , in the morning the owner was once again on hand for a friendly chat , although the weather wasn’t on our side for this stay , I would definitely look into staying again if possible as the pitch price was very reasonable priced and the owners were very nice .

Disliked: N/a

Local attractions

Whether they’re keen skiers or not, active kids are bound to have a blast at SnowTrax Alpine Activity Centre (five minutes' walk) – skiing and snowboarding are the main activities here but there’s also an adventure park with rope swings, ziplines and the like. Other great family days nearby include the New Forest Water Park (15 minutes’ drive), Dorset Heavy Horse Farm Park (20 minutes) and Paultons Park, Home of Peppa Pig World (25 minutes). Outings to the New Forest National Park are likely to be popular with all ages – perhaps taking a bike ride from Brockenhurst (half an hour), meeting the wildlife at Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary (25 minutes) or spending the day at the excellent Beaulieu Estate (35 minutes), home to the National Motor Museum and several other attractions. Coast time? Try the beaches of Bournemouth (10 minutes), Mudeford (15 minutes) and Sandbanks (25 minutes) or board a boat in Lymington (35 minutes) for a day out on the Isle of Wight.
