Herston Caravan & Camping

I recently stayed in the glamping tents at Herston Campsite for a Hike2Heal trip organised by a charity. I could not fault the campsite. It was set in a lovely rural location with the sounds of nature - sea waves and steam railway and birds. Each tent was provided with logs and kindling for the chilly nights to toast marshmallows round the fire pits, I thought this was a lovely touch. Beds were comfortable and showers were showers!! The site was very clean and the burger van on site provided tea / coffee / meals and snacks was top notch and well priced. Will definitely be visiting again. Thank you xx

So we have just returned from a 4 night stay here. We had a lovely time but the site could be so much better. Good points Close to some beautiful places. Nice shower cubicles. Has a bar laundrette and a food truck Friendly staff Well signposted You can walk into swanage but it’s hilly. Building a new bar restaurant swimming pool? Nice and quiet with lovely views. Not so good points 1st impressions as you come into the site very tatty has lots of seasonal pitches that are not well kept so looks a bit like a traveler site in places. Very hilly. The pitch is a good size but fully serviced not too sure? Again could be kept up together better. There is a separate toilet block behind the food truck but is showing its age. A bit like the site really. It’s a good place for a short break but for a week or 2 weeks not for me. If you are after a quiet off the beaten track site then it will be for you but if you are wanting to tour around on public transport then not for you. Probably will not return to this site in its current state unfortunately but for someone else it will be what they want.

Had a great time as usual, been going for a while and it is in a really great location as it is very easy to get into the swanage centre. Rain or shine, it is always a lovely time. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Overall it is just amazing.
