The Inside Park

Excellent facilities, lovely location… My dogs’ first camping trip and this was perfect. Pet friendly, kid friendly and really clean facilities. There’s a little takeaway van that could do with staying open just a little bit longer, but the shop is fairly well stocked. the loos/​showers are very clean and the children’s play area makes you wish that they had this kind of stuff when you were little. All in all — very nice!

Secluded, good facilities, great for the kids
Camping in October, you must be mad. Nope, I have a campervan.
The Inside Park sits in the middle of a largish farm, just a couple of miles outside Blandford Forum. It has around 120 pitches, a fanastic kids adventure playground and several paths through the adjacent woods to keep you and the dog happy.
The site happily takes bookings for tents, caravans and motorhomes although you need to bear in mind if camping off season, that the ground can get quite wet so you may not be able tow your caravan off site your self. Not to worry, however, as the site manager has a tractor to help out.
Facilities are good, albeit just in one place which could be a fair walk if you’re in the top field with a tent. I suspect most campers coming here have a caravan with facilities built in.
If you have a campervan like us, facilities are fine for fresh water, chemical toilet disposal but there’s no convenient gulley for disposal of your waste water. You’ll need a long hose and some patience.
On site there’s a shop with a reasonably good stock of food & camping items, a laundry, showers and a games room with 3 pool & one table football table.
The secluded nature of the site appeals to those who want something a bit quieter, out of the way with plenty to hand.
