Hunter's Moon Caravan and Motorhome Club Site

Alan Rogers Review of Hunter's Moon Caravan and Motorhome Club Site

Hunter's Moon Caravan and Motorhome Club site lies just on the edge of the lovely Wareham Forest. This pleasant site, with play area and dog walk, provides an excellent base for touring the lovely area of Dorset. Many of the area's most attractive locations are safeguarded by the National Trust, including substantial stretches of unforgettable scenic coastline. It is rich in combes, cliffs, bays and islands - particularly rewarding for the visitor interested in bird life and walking. The nearby Golden Cap, of which the National Trust owns, 2,000 acres of hills, farmlands and beaches, has the highest cliff in England and delights with its covering of brilliant yellow gorse. The site has 141 grass or hardstanding pitches, 8 of which are serviced and 11 for tents. All but 2 have 16 amp electricity.

This is Thomas Hardy country and visitors to Hunter's Moon Club Site will recognise many of the scenes described in his novels. His birthplace, a charming, thatched cottage with its garden magnificently ablaze with colour is situated at Higher Bockhampton, within easy reach from the caravan park. Also, of great interest in the area and only a short 10-mile journey away is the house at Cloud's Hill, popular because it once belonged to the famous Lawrence of Arabia.

At certain times during the month, the delightful market town of Wareham holds a small but well-stocked farmers’ market. The area offers good transport links with a railway station at Wareham, which also offers car parking and onward bus travel to the coastal towns of Poole, Swanage and Weymouth. Not to be missed are the National Trust’s Brownsea Island and Corfe Castle.

N.B. Non-members may join on site and make a substantial saving on pitch fees, please speak to site staff for more details and to check pitch availability before arrival.
