St Leonards Farm Caravan and Camping Park Reviews

A short break

I wanted a base to stay whilst attending a wedding and visiting friends. The site is extremely well managed and the staff went above and beyond what I expected. The first pitch I was offered was a little small due to the neighbours spreading themselves into more than their allotted space. As the area had several spare pitches I asked to move. This was immediately agreed and I was given a shady pitch with a vacant pitch next'door'. When I checked the time the gate was locked, I was told just to phone the mobile and I would be let in. In the event I came back earlier and the person in charge came to check that I was OK. There are plenty of fresh water points and 2 toilet blocks plus a few wet rooms. The site is directly off the A31 dual carriageway. I had worried that exiting the site appeared horrendous but traffic moved into the outside lane as it was very close to a roundabout. If I was in the area I would stay there again.

Great clean site

Lovely campsite. Kept clean and was very relaxed and quiet. Great position to explore the local area and beaches. We found a gem and will definitely be back!

Two nights stay

Clean site. Staff were very friendly, but, lacking in showering facilities- one block very old and not comfortable the other, only had a handful of cubicles so had to queue a few times. Also the humps getting in and out of the park are unnecessarily high. Just one other thing, the leaflet handed to us on arrival stated gates close at 11pm less stated otherwise. We didn't see any signs saying would be closed by 10.30 on the first night we got back at 10.33 and gates were locked, we got lucky that somebody else was trying to leave so we had the gates opened for us, otherwise we knew we'd have to stay in the overflow field. We were in a campervan so wouldn't have had what we needed for the night as everything was in our tent and I'm disabled so couldn't have got back there. Otherwise nice site, but wouldn't go back there.

Nice campsite

Really enjoyed our stay here. The play barn is excellent for younger children and the park was excellent for all ages. Nearby A31 could be a bit noisy at night but not an issue for us. Temperature for shower varied and we found them a bit cold, whereas others had said it had been really hot. Suppose they were trying to fix the issue. We will visit again.

Very happy

Very happy with this site. Clean facilities and friendly staff. Will definitely go back.

Lovely family campsite

Lovely family campsite. Clean toilets and showers. Showers are lovely and hot. Huge play park for the children and an indoor soft play which was a massive hit for the kids! The staff were very friendly! While checking in the lady serving us queried that we had a caravan and had booked a non electric pitch. I explained upon booking that there weren’t any electric pitches available and after some searching she managed to find us one! There is a fish and chips van on a Friday and they are very tasty! A jacket potato van on a Saturday, we didn’t eat them but they looked good! The only downside is there isn’t a shop onsite which I thought there was from the pictures but there are plenty of shops only a few minutes by car so it wasn’t an issue. Will definitely book here again.

Amazing weekend away

Came across this lovely little family run camping site by chance while looking for a little weekend break away with the kids, and I'm so glad we booked it! What can I say.. perfect little location, in the middle of everywhere so going to all our favourite Beaches were never far away as well as a drive around the new forest! The site is lovely, a really nice little park for the kids and the shower facilities were good and clean had everything you needed to be able to wash up your camping stuff and stay clean and fresh! We have had the best weekend, and will defiantly be back to stay again! 🥰

Brilliant campsite for the children

We had an excellent time, the park was great for the kids and the play barn, toilets and showers were decent and even had family ones which had more room.

Absolutely brilliant for families

15-20 mins from the beach, an old dairy farm in a central location with loads of places to eat nearby- plus Halfords and Lidl. Friendly front desk staff and very helpful. Great facilities with more kiddie stuff being built whilst we were there.

Good

It was a very good stay.

Lovely

Great place to escape for a few days. Staff were brilliant & accommodating. Clean & great location to everything.

Budget

Very basic, and no emergency number. We attended A&E one night and couldn't get back in. We found a gate to walk through. No security.

Great weekend away with friends and dogs

We had a great weekend away with friends and our dogs. Great play area if you take kids, dog walking area with poo bin 😀 Clean shower block. We will definitely stay here again.

Peaceful and relaxing stay

We very much enjoyed our stay here. It was a beautiful site for our small electric tent pitch. What we enjoyed the most was that it was a lovely quiet site, and despite being busy, the late evenings and mornings were peaceful. Great location: near supermarkets, restaurants, beaches, New Forest etc. The lady at the reception was also very helpful, and we enjoyed the fish and chip van on site! We would definitely stay here again.

Well laid out

My son said this was his favourite campsite! He loved the indoor soft play and large outdoor play park. The pitches are slightly small for us, however, by the time you'd have people both sides of you and your car in front of your pitch, there isn't much space to play football/badminton etc, so we kept moving away to avoid cars/tents. Handy that there's food vans each night that we were there! One night they had fish and chips which were a good price and fair size. The second night they had jacket potatoes. In the mornings they had a van selling bacon baps etc. The showers turned off not long after turning them on and the washing up taps only stayed on if they kept the handle down. The frequent outdoor taps helped as it was so hot the days we stayed! There's a field with goal posts too, which was popular. Very close to Avon Heath and Moors Valley, which is a great day out with kids.

Lovely site

Very quick check in. Staff are really friendly and the site is kept very clean and tidy.

Friendly and peaceful kid friendly campsite!

What can I say except this is a child-friendly park, which includes a kids park and soft play area. The land is ideal for both tents and caravans- it's peaceful and very relaxing. I had to change my booking twice, as I wasn't sure how many people were staying in the caravan, and the customer support was more than accommodating...I would definitely go again.

Quick break away

We did have a loud neighbour having an argument on her mobile and I am sure if we had reported it, it would have been dealt with but would be concerned that it would have made the situation worse. Maybe worth having somebody walking around checking everything is ok. This has not stopped us from using the site again, however!

Lovely place

A perfect place for a break. Everything you need. Helpful workers. Will definitely be returning

Perfect campsite

Perfect campsite for all ages. The site and facilities were immaculate. The staff were friendly and helpful. Flat and even pitches. Great value for money. Sainsbury's, Lidl and McDonalds are within walking distance.

A very nice place to stay

Had a nice stay. Good location. Very nice site.

Cut our stay short

I have stayed at many campsites and this one let me down. There were around 15 speed bumps leading down to our pitch and these were very fierce. The park closes its gates at 10.30pm so you are restricted from being out later than that. There are no shops on site. If you want to get milk, etc. you have to walk out of the campsite and go through a subway under a dual carriage way to get to a petrol station shop. The shower/toilet block is outdated, although is kept clean. The shower cubicles are very small and there is nowhere to store your towels or clothes so you have to leave them outside the cubicle. There are openings either side of all the pitches which people keep walking through and on several occasions people were tripping on our guy ropes. We found the site to be noisy at night, there were several other campers staying up to at least 3am and not giving respect to others. A lot of other campers told them to keep the noise down but were ignored. I would not be staying at this particular site again, I have stayed at others for the same sort of price and had much more of an enjoyable stay than this one. And with all this, we cut our stay short and left one night early.

Site's response

Thank you for your comments. Regarding the speed humps, these are to BS standard and are fit for purpose. They are a necessity for safety reasons to keep speed down on site. As we are a family park with kids on site, this is very important. If you drive over them slowly in first gear you will not have any issues. Again the gates are shut for security reasons and we advise the times on site. Most guests are happy with this. We do not advertise any shops on site and there is a general store across the road and a Sainsbury's 5 mins drive. We are sorry you were disturbed and if you had advised the wardens, they would have looked into it and asked the persons causing the noise to be quiet. We must say that such issues are a rarity on our site which is a quiet family park.

Lovely site

Lovely site, well maintained. Staff were helpful. Very peaceful. Clearly marked pitches, clean showers and loos.

Lovely place

Lovely park, beautiful grounds and the facilities on site were plenty and clean really hot showers with great pressure! We were put in the Meadow, it seemed like a lovely spot when we turned up. There is a very big play park in the middle of the meadow which is great for family's. Really friendly staff who stopped and chatted. We came to visit Bournemouth for the weekend, it's just a little more then a 20 minute drive to Bournemouth from the site. Local takeaways delivered to the site which is a great convenience, only a short walk to a local shop for any supplies!

Great faciilites

Lovely site, great amenities and the staff were so helpful. The hot showers were lovely after a day at the beach. Spaces were a bit tight for electric, but nothing to complain about there really. Everyone was very respectful and quiet in the evenings. We went with two teens and a 4yr, and all had a great stay.
