We spent a single night here before catching the Poole to Cherbourg ferry which is just under 15 minutes away so it is a good overnight stop for anyone with an early ferry.
Excellent correspondence, easy to find location and nicely spaced serviced hard standings. There was a little bit of road noise on a very windy night but not enough to be an issue.
We felt that £25 for one night in October was a little bit on the expensive side. If using prior to a Poole ferry crossing it’s a toss up between a short journey from a nice site at £25 and £15 on the car park at the ferry terminal.
All Down to personal preference.
Nice CL
We’ve been visiting this site for a good few years now, really nice site great location for exploring Dorset, a bit of road noise and can get a bit muddy in wet weather but highly recommended
Short stay
Lovely site. Easy to access on arrival because access code to the field had been emailed in advance. Serviced/hardstanding pitches were great. David came and greeted us once we'd arrived. Gave us a useful sheet of local information. Also provided details of local bike trails which are needed as roads are busy. They do give you access to Poole - cycle paths all the way. Lovely to be visited by hens. At night the owls can be heard and bats seen at dusk. Overall a great stay. Thank you.
Nice but…..
We have just returned from 2wks holiday here which we enjoyed.It was lovely having fully serviced pitches but there are things we think could improve this.
1.Latch on the 5 bar gate was very difficult to operate particularly for a woman.
2.The exercise field for the dog was not usable at all.
3.It rained quite heavily on several occasions & the mud build up on the access gate to the actual C/L was not good at all.
4.Noise from a very busy Main Road
When we left the rubbish bins & recycling bins were overflowing!
Would we return not sure

A Great CL
We stayed here for what turned out to be one of the coldest, wettest and windiest May for years so thank goodness for the serviced pitches. The drain is right next to the pitch and although each had its own tap we shared a post with the next pitch. This meant we needed to extend our hose to 15m to reach our van. Not a problem but be aware. There is a little road noise and because of the unusual amount of rain (some fields near the main road were flooded) the CL gateway was somewhat muddy but not by the main entrance which has a combination lock.
As others have said its a great centre for the area and David is very helpful.
To be recommended.

Pleasant and easy stay
Good site for a quiet stay. Waste and water per pitch was great. Large field for dog walk right next to the pitches was fabulous for our old dog. Owner was around but unobtrusive. Is just off a main road but pitches are far enough away that the road noise is minimal. Great space between pitches.

What an excellent CL!
What a fantastic CL! A really flat, well-mown field with plenty of space for each outfit. Very friendly welcome. Each hard standing has its own grey waste drain (and easy access to its own tap). Very well-situated for visiting lots of places nearby. Peaceful and pleasant surroundings. Many thanks to the owners. We will be coming back for another stay!
The perfect getaway - at last!
St Leonards Farm ticked all the boxes for us - easy access, a well kept paddock and lovely surroundings. Although there is some slight road noise, it did not impact our peace at all. We pitched up and were later welcomed by David and received an useful information sheet. Pitches (all hard standing) are very generous, with water at each, a grey water drain and EHU. This working farm has free range chickens (eggs for sale), dogs and ponies and all were amusing to watch, but best of all was the birth of a beautiful foal on our first morning! The location is perfectly placed for RSPB Arne and the local towns of Wareham, Wimborne Minster and Poole. Portland and Chesil beach are about an hour away and well worth a visit. We highly recommend this CL and would definitely return. Thank you to the Wheldons for a wonderful stay.

Relaxing break.
Very good clean and well kept site.
Welcome on arrival and very informative on surrounding area.
All hard standing pitches with own water tap and most with grey waste.
Plenty of room with very generous spacing of pitches.
Definitely will revisit as this is an excellent site for those who wish to relax.
Another very enjoyable stay
This is the second time we have stayed at St Leonards Farm (4-8 July 2020). We were delighted to find that the pitches are now serviced pitches, which was an added bonus! A lovely site - we can highly recommend it.
