Rockley Park

Visited Rockley Park in August this year. Do not visit this site if you have teenagers as there is nothing to do on site apart from visit the clubhouse. The shows are not really what teenagers are looking for. Do not accept a caravan on the Oaks. Our van was approximately 12 feeet from mainline railway and trains started at 6.00am and finished at midnight!! Noise was horrendous. Take-away food overpriced and poor quality. The van was clean but bed was so bad you could feel the springs through the mattress. Booked through Haven and felt it was really poor value. Supermarket very expensive - we shopped at supermarket in Poole.

Great site, great location, well signposted - well equipped site with a very modern playground, and lots of activities for the kids as well. Entertainment was well thought out for all ages, we couldn't fault the effort and commitment of the staff and performers. All the amenity buildings were well maintained and cleaned, althought the shower temperatures were a bit erratic!

The food at the restaurant was relatively reasonably priced, probably £1-2 more for a main meal than Brewster type pub food. If you wanted something a bit better you would need to travel out into Poole or Bournemouth. The beach ...  Read the complete review

We visited Rockley Park for the first time in June this year. 'We' are myself, my wife and three boys aged 8, 7 and 2 years old. We loved it! There were a few minus points which I will touch on but they were far outweighed by the plus ones. The park itself was clean and nicely kept and the staff were friendly. The pools were fantastic, clean and lovely and warm (even the outdoor one). The shop on the park was well stocked and well priced again with friendly staff. The evening entertainment was good and varied with the only criticism being the lack of bar staff meaning an unnecessary wait to be served...acres of counterspace ...  Read the complete review
