Friendly and helpful staff, had enjoyable tractor and trailer ride with Farmer Steve and kids got to sit in his tractor. Food in the tea rooms was outstanding and great value for money and excellent service. Kids enjoyed feeding the goats milk and grooming the pony and grandma enjoyed a conversation with Monty the talking parrot!!! Lovely large indoor soft play and lots of outdoor play areas. All in all great day out and great value for money.

Set in 16 acres Kirkwood Park is an 18 hole fun golf games activity centre suitable for all ages and abilities, which includes pitch and putt, footgolf and frisbee golf. Everything is provided in the affordable green fee and there are no fussy rules. From the end of July and through most of August the site also becomes a 'rural feeling' little gem of a Swanage town centre campsite that can be booked through

Andy opens the site up as campsite from about the 24th July til the end of August every year. Hopefully he will continue to do so as I really enjoy staying there and it is the best campsite I have stayed at so far. There are so many positives to the site such as: Only about ten minutes walk from the beach and town centre. Next door to a large park, playground, and skate park for kids to use. Can book in advance and set up tent where you like. Cars are not parked next to tents but are very close by. Wheelbarrows free to use to transport tents etc. Free use of fridge, freezer, pump for inflatable beds etc. Allowed to have barbeques or small fires to toast marshmallows etc. Encouraged to not make noise between 11pm & 8am. Toilets, showers, and the site in general are always clean & tidy. Recycling policy with bins for metals, glass, paper etc. Given a toilet roll and recycling bucket when you arrive. The hot water in the taps and showers is always very hot so I would suggest the number 6 setting on the showers is plenty hot enough. I especially like all the signs around the site and the firefly lights at night on one of the bridges. Andy has started doing some 'glamping' on the site but there is still plenty of space for the rest of us. :) Don't tell too many people how nice the site is though in case I can't get a booking. ;)
