At Herston we are a family orientated site, safe for children and our friendly staff will help you with whatever you need. There is so much to discover and experience around picturesque Purbeck; gateway to the Jurassic Coast, England’s first World Heritage Site. Take a trip on the famous Swanage steam train to historical Corfe Castle as we are only a 5 minute walk to Herston Halt station. Enjoy walks along the spectacular coastline and National Trust countryside and why not try out some bird watching, fishing, water sports or even sandcastle building. Further afield are Monkey World, the Tank Museum, Weymouth, Poole Harbour and the bright lights of Bournemouth. You can abandon the car for the entire holiday if you wish since the park is just over a mile from the bustling Seaside town centre of Swanage where many interesting events are held including the Swanage Carnival, Blues Festival, Folk Festival and Jazz Festival. It is even less distance to the sandy blue flag family beaches. On-site, there are great facilities for you to enjoy during your stay. If you want to unwind with just a coffee or sit back and relax in front of the log burning fire and sip your tipple of choice, knowing that your evening meal is being prepared by our experienced chefs then our bar is the place for you. There is a large selection of lager and real ales for you to enjoy as well as known spirits and wines for the discerning palette. Please check our "What's On" page for up and coming events and entertainment at Herston. Don’t forget the kids as we have an extensive children’s menu and a large selection of non-alcoholic drinks available and immediately behind the bar is our children’s play park, including swings and slides, you can watch you kids playing in comfort from our conservatory. We also have a show bar on site where most of our entertainment takes place during peak season. There is also a takeaway bar situated for you in the camping fields open at peak times for breakfast and evening meals. Also serving a wide variety of hot food from fish and chips to a full English, cold drinks, slush puppies and ice creams. If you do forget to bring anything then there is an on-site shop that carries most of the essentials that you may need. We do not charge for dogs. However, we do require that they are kept on a lead at all times whilst on the park, and that as a responsible owner, you clean up any mess they may create.

Cramped, grubby and smelly

The site was worn out , it felt grubby and it looked very ugly . Our tent smelt very bad and we left after only one night.

Great campsite.

The tent was huge and the beds comfy. Showers hot and good pressure but not very clean. This and the bar closed on Sunday and Monday were the only set backs. Lovely location, water and electricity in every bell tent. Will be coming back.

Short Glamping trip

Great set up with the tents, well put up, clean and the fairy lights dotted around were a nice touch. Site it in a great location for exploring the surrounding area. It was great to be able to have a fire and the wood supplied was of good quality, however we were quite shocked that there were no slabs for them to sit on meaning there are scorch marks all over the grass and when there are ‘no fire’ signs everywhere in the area in general it would be sensible to get this sorted asap to avoid any grass fires.. Facilities on site could do with some TLC, showers in one block were cold daily, no hand wash (or even a dispenser) in some cubicles which post covid seems like a very basic thing to be missing. Overall we had a great time but some re-investment in the facilities wouldn’t go amiss.
