What customers say

Generally well-rated, basic campsite with friendly staff. Clean facilities, convenient cafe, and plane spotting opportunities. Most found airport noise manageable. Some noted toilet cleanliness issues, but overall sentiment is positive with return intentions.

Faye & Ross T.

Bell tent (deluxe)

Liked We had a great stay at Parley Court this weekend. We are a family of 2 adults, 2 children and stayed in the deluxe bell tent. It was a lovely tent - airbeds and bedding all made up. It was very cute. Everyone was so friendly, it was so nice to see the children mixing with each other, playing and sharing their footballs, swing ball etc.

It was a clean site, plenty of bins available. There was an equestrian centre next door and you could get fairly close to the horses in the next field. Parking was good and it was a very short walk to the tents with wheelbarrows provided to help carry luggage.

The pressure and heat of the showers were good. Plenty of toilet roll, hand wash and spray available. Shops were close by and it was about 20 mins drive to Bournemouth pier.

The owners were really friendly and we would definitely come back.

Disliked The showers were a little untidy but that's to be expected on a campsite when people are sharing facilities. Most of the time people were respectful of shared facilities. I would advise flip flops in the shower area and it was a bit difficult to change as the cubicle is small and due to the condensation, it is not ideal to put your clothes down on the bench or hang against the wall (I put Joggers on after drying and went back to the tent to get dressed).

Bell tent (basic)

Liked Only stayed for 1 night. Didn’t use the showers so can’t comment but the toilets were clean enough. We stayed in a bell tent and was surprised to see camp beds provided, which was nice and saved us having to pump our air beds up. It is right next to the airport so some noise but this wasn’t a problem. I did hear some music from nearby after 10pm but it wasn’t loud enough to be a nuisance. It’s not far to walk from the car park to the field and there were a few trolleys to use. There were a few people using them in the morning when packing away so could be handy to take your own. Plenty of space for the children to play and there were some people fishing. Overall a nice basic site for what we needed and there is a bar but we only visited for a take away coffee.

Bell tent (basic)

Liked Me and my sisters had a relaxing time tent was already set up and they also set up air mattresses so that was nice we didn't have to do that gave us more relax time.

Disliked The time to be quiet which is 10pm it did put a damper on ours sister's 40th birthday as me and my sisters don't all get together often and felt like we couldn't do much after 10pm.
