St Leonards Farm Caravan and Camping Park Reviews

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 The shower/toilet block is outdated, although is kept clean.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.

Jubilee weekend

Stayed before many years ago very clean and tidy site great very clean showers and toilets play barn area for kids apparently shop in the pipeline. Great location for exploring the area.

Ok campsite

Toilets were ok, never seemed to be cleaned. Shower was way too hot & pressure was really low & not many of them. Location good for Poole & New Forest. Was very busy so not much space around tent. Liked they had food van on-site 3 nights & Sunday am.

Well organised camping!

Well organised camping! Despite the fact that was a very busy weekend there were no big queues for using the facilities! We had great time there.

St Leonard’s campsite

Very warm welcome from the friendly staff.

St Leonard’s

We only stayed a couple of nights - it's was a really friendly site and the facilities were very clean.

What a lovely, peaceful campsite

Had a lovely stay, everything was clean and tidy, the staff were friendly and helpful... we will definitely be staying again.

First night away

Having just bought a T6 camper I was looking for somewhere local and quiet to try it out with the kids. The site was lovely, well spaced out with facilities close by and clean. The staff were amazing and made us all feel welcome. Would definitely recommend and will be returning soon.

Nice campsite

Spent two nights here and really enjoyed it. Nice large and quiet site, adequate facilities and local amenities on the doorstep. Will definitely return to further explore the area.

Great holiday

Fantastic site in a great location, will definitely come again.

The best Easter break!!

We have just returned home after a 3 night Bank Holiday stay for Easter and we couldn't recommend this site enough!! From cleanliness, to facilities, the play area, staff friendliness and helpfulness - it was great. The site staff even put on an Easter event for the children which was completely free. Thank you so much, we will definitely be returning :)

Easter weekend stay

The park is well set up and the pitches are well kept. The only downside is the lack of WiFi and the one narrow road to get in and out of the park, it can be quite frustrating when you have to keep reversing back up the lane to let towing cars in, a small passing place halfway down would eliminate this. Other than that, it's a lovely place to stay. There is a supermarket, fast food place, pub, chip shop and garage all within walking distance.

Fantastic Easter

Nothing to moan about!

Lovely site

I was lucky with the weather - beautiful sunshine during the day but cold at night. The new shower block is excellent - individual bathrooms basically! Could do with a light (maybe movement activated) in the washing up area - especially in the winter, you are not going to be eating an evening meal in daylight and I can't face leaving the washing up until morning. But other than that it was excellent.

Great site

Really lovely site. Very convenient for local activities, very friendly and helpful. Shower block very clean and unique 👍

Site's response

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again!

St Leonard’s

Great location, facilities and price

Half term break

Very nice and clean. Great location for New Forest.

Short February half-term break

A lovely site with lots to do locally. We had our dog with us and we managed long walks along the beach as well as some lovely walks in the local woods and nature reserves. Staff were helpful and the site was spotlessly clean and tidy. Very easy to get to and close to local amenities and some good dog friendly pubs. Only issue we had was the power of the showers was not very good, but given it was low season and main block was not open, I suspect they would be better. Overall a lovely few days away and we will certainly be going back. Thank you.

No control over other campers

Was a nice stay until some very rude and loud people were allowed to pitch and cause noise and disruption all night, despite being asked by many including me to stop. Problem is, there's no point having wardens that are not able to enforce the rules!

Dear Mike Thank you for your review and we take your comments very seriously. We are pleased that overall you liked the park. In regards to your specific comments regarding the other campers that made a noise, we would add the following. The excess noise started at around 9-9.30pm and our warden did ask them to keep the music down and reminded them music must stop altogether at 10.30pm. Our warden had to go back a second time to ask them to turn the music off. At around 10.30pm, our warden told them if the music did not stop then we would turn the power off. As far as we were aware they quietened down at this point. As they had been drinking it would have been difficult to remove them off site that night and they left the next day. They will not be permitted to return. This was a rare occurrence and not typical of our park. We are sorry that your evening was disturbed.

Good friendly site

Lovely quiet site with friendly and helpful staff. Clean and tidy site with good, clean toilets and showers.

Ju & Gill
