Toilet paper provided? Yes Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Showers:Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  showers available at 60p for 6 minutes of hot water

Sanitary facilities are not particularly keen.Β  We only stayed 1 night, but the friends we were meeting had been there for a few days.Β  What they noticed was the same bits of dirt and grime not disappearing, despite someone going in to clean daily….Β  After 1 use they wouldn’t use the showers again….

What other facilities are there?Β Β Β Β 

Bins and CWD

Dishwashing area

Hair drier in the ladies and shaving socket in the gents

Is there any internet; if so how much and how good?Β  Β Β 

No, and not a brilliant signal for our own

Okay – possibly more about getting your money straight away!Β  The lady did allow us to stay a little later on the Sunday though so that we could watch an England world cup match.

How much is it?Β Β Β Β Β 

We paid Β£20 per night including electric.

What’s the area like?Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 

Not far from Bournemouth Airport so plenty of activity there.Β  Of course within striking distance of both Bournemouth and the New Forest so in a lovely area (although personally I think it’s a little far out from each – but if you want to just stay at 1 site and visit both then I guess it’s perfect!)
