Herston Caravan & Camping

Took the family in our motorhome and left early. Terrible site. Very dirty toilets and showers. Site not kept tidy with little landscaping. Shop closed most of the time. Shame as so much potential close to a lovely town like Swanage. Would not recommend.

We are on our way home from a tour of Cornwall in our Motorhome We booked 3 nights at Herston yard Swanage to break up our return journey to Kent. In our arrival I went to the reception which smelt of smoke and musty carpet and was met by a man who appeared unkempt and couldn’t even be bothered to look up when I came in , a lady then came from the back and asked my name then said your on pitch 11 turn right n your along there. No welcome pack given just a map how to walk into Swanage. We paid £120 for 3 nights on a super fully serviced pitch that was nestled among a lot of scruffy statics that I later found out people were living in them because they had been made homeless and the local council were providing temporary housing I have no problem with this but I didn’t want to spend my holiday amongst this The toilets n showers were dirty n shabby The bar n shop were in need of an update and during our 2 night stay (we left early ) There was constant cars tippers and vans coming and going and noise on the Friday night with people talking n laughing until 3.30pm Worst site we have stayed on

4 of us stayed in a yurt for 3 nights. The weather was good to us but unfortunately half our yurt floor was soaking the entire stay (yurt G) the shower and toilet trailers are very nice but could do with being cleaned abit more frequently. The park is in a lovely quiet location and the firepit with the free wood is a nice touch. On our last day we spent our day on site and visited the onsite bar. I found this very expensive £42 for 5 double drinks. We left feeling quite ripped off! Nice site but a few little tweaks could make it so much better
