Firstly the positives, the wardens were particularly kind and helpful, always with time to say hello and make you feel welcome. We were staying on a grass pitch which was on quite a slope and impossible for us to get the caravan level. There seems to be little control on how people park their outfits with many taking up their pitch and half of the ones either side of them. Most cars were considerate of the speed limits on site which is good as so many children were hurtling around the site on bikes and scooters, there were a couple of near misses that we witnessed. I had no phone signal and TV was hit and miss, we were told it was better up on the gravel pitches. Lots of lovely beaches nearby, we particularly enjoyed Shell Beach but expect a 20 minute journey to most places. The pub nearby only opens a few days a week even in high season.
Hunters moon
Good——-
Friendly staff
Clean facilities
Good walk into woods behind site (didn’t know it was there till half way through holiday)
Good location
Improvements needed ——
Grass pitches next to fields not fit for purpose and not caravan and motor home standard.
Mark the pitches like the opposite side which means loosing some pitches yes, but quality better than poor quality it just seems like your being greedy for cramming more in, it’s like a field with a free for all.
Travellers side, can’t improve the issue I guess but to much barking from there dogs constantly and cockerels, night time especially. I would leave if had to be on that side. It’s hardly 10pm quiet time that you require with that side anyway?
I understand bbq being banned with fire risk that was happing during our stay, but banning Cadac’s? Come on, a curry cooking in a cadac is not a risk, your members smoking and the embers would be but you didn’t ban smoking ?!
Good food was lost because of this ridiculous rule.
Don’t understand why I was told to take my wind break down night time and if I went out. Also not everyone was told to do this. It did seem your older members were allowed to do what they want but anyone under 50 was watched with a hawk eye! By the male staff this issue, not the lady staff who were lovely. But treat everyone the same please,
General concerns for caravan and motor home as a whole company——-
your rules are becoming ridiculous to the point at any site we go to of yours we feel like naughty children sitting out with a glass of wine talking when our 5 year old is in bed, we’re in our late 40’s. Come on lighten up a bit, a little bit of chatter and laughing is infectious, as long as it’s not loud with music etc, have your curfew for 11 with quiet talking allowed yes, but not silence!
It ruins the evenings. Your sites are not for oap’s only but if that’s what you want fine , but you take my money I want to relax and not feel on edge, I’m sure your aware more and more young families are getting into caravan and motor homes and you are known as the Boring rules club where your not allowed to have fun. I’m sure you want there business but more people are saying go to caravan and camping sites if you want to relax and not feel like you can’t talk.
I’m not talking kids running riot but come on get with the times a little and relax your rules! Your sites are clean and generally organised but you need to loose this fun police issue you have .
Credit to the wardens
2nd time we have been to this site.. lovely big pitches.. lots of places to visit nearby.. Swanage, Wareham durdledoor and more.. we was lucky with the weather only rained Tues morn... The site itself does have the noise of the dogs constantly.. even early hrs of the morn.. Clare and Emma the wardens were lovely always had time to chat and never stopped.. unlike other wardens on sites.. even chatted about maybe trying it for ourselves... Facilities are always clean.. even if the top block did have a blockage... Will 100% be back here .. the geese flying over every day was amazing.. see you soon
Fantastic site, would highly recommend
Felt so compelled to write this review due to the FANTASTIC wardens who went out of their way to ensure our stay at this site was enjoyable. Thank you so much to all 4 of them, we loved chatting to you!
The area has so much to offer, the site is so well located to visit some amazing places - Kingston Lacey, Durdle Door, Swanage steam railway, the beautiful forest cycle trails close by etc.
The site was very clean and family friendly, we took part in many of the family/children activities put on by the wardens.
A holiday we won't forget for a long time! Thank you very much!
Great site, very helpful staff
This was our second, stay at this wonderful site this year. We had a lovely peaceful 3 night stay, with nice weather.
I am writing tis review to say a big thankyou to Graham, one of the wardens, who helped when our elderly labrador, was overcome with the heat, after a shortish walk, bringing water and offering to get a doggy ice scream. Secondly he repaired our tv coax, which had become damaged. he is a credit to the club
Thank you
Much Good But Some Bad
A well run and located site. Site layout and facilities to the high standard you come to expect at CC sites. We'll placed in Wareham Forest and Dorset to enjoy all it has to offer. Now for the bad.... located next to a council travellers site resulting in lots of noise and barking dogs day and night. Some pitches worse than others, cryptically described by wardens on arrival, trying to cover themselves. WiFi Is really woefully.. Bronze minus ! In a area of also poor mobile reception this was frustrating. Even when standing under mast it did not work. Come on CC its 2022 you must do better. Finally nearby pub, The Silent Women, not to be relied upon... unpredictable opening times and closed 2-3 days per week in July .... a shame as I do like a pub within walking distance. In summary, its a real shame that this lovely site and super wardens and are dragged down by the above....this would probably stop a return visit.
Good and bad
We stayed for 9 nights and have been here twice before, it’s a lovely clean well kept site , great dog walking areas, lovely shop and information hut , showers are so lovely and clean . Now the bad right next door to traveler site , which was very noisy ie dogs barking all day and night , cockerels making awful noise and also what’s sounded like drum and base music , I must say it did spoil our stay unfortunately
Excellent Site
Recently stayed at Hunters Moon for 8 nights from 16th to 24th July. This is our fifth visit here and once again we had a fabulous stay. The site is well laid out and kept in tip top condition, the shower and toilet blocks are spotlessly clean and this is all down to the friendly hard working wardens. You do hear a little bit of noise from the nearby road but it is not excessive. This is a great location for exploring Dorset with many lovely places to visit and makes this one of our favourite Caravan and Motorhome Club Sites. We will definitely return. Once again many thanks to the wardens for making this a lovely stay.
Sweet and sour
We booked hunters moon for one night and on arrival there were limited pitches I was told to go round and pick one that vacant , the warden mentioned that pitches up the top may have noise from the camp site next door we popped round the site and stopped at a pitch at the top and listened no noise so settled in and this was ok for a hour or so then noise from the so called campers next to the site started generators etc cursing and swearing I couldn’t stay there so went to the warden and explained what we were experiencing she was very understanding and the campsite was not a standard site it was a traveler’s site or warden said council run site if I knew this I would never have booked this site , to be fair to the club it was a very nice site warden moved us to another pitch that we could have which was great but the reviews that are on this site are all 5star and no mention of the site in the field next to it being a travelers camp and the noise!
A very good site
We stayed here in July 2022 for 4 nights,giving us an opportunity to visit some of the locations in the Dorset area,such as Bournemouth, Poole,Swanage and Weymouth. All are within a 30 min drive from the site.
Wareham town centre is just over 5 minutes away in the car,so the site is a good location if you're wanting to visit these areas.
The site is clean and well maintained, including the shower and toilet blocks. Staff were friendly and helpful although we had little contact with them as we had no issues whilst we were there.
We stayed on a grass pitch which was fine as we were in a period of hot,dry weather.
There is an area to exercise dogs both on and off the lead.
There is a pub nearby but it was very rarely open during our stay due to staffing issues, on one of the days it was open they weren't serving food.
The area is poor for mobile phone signal,including 4G/5G.
The club WiFi was not much better.
Overall we enjoyed our stay here and I would certainly stay here again.
