Herston Caravan and Camp Site offers excellent family camping and caravanning in the beautiful Dorset countryside, but it is also close to beaches and the bustling town of Swanage. The nearby sandy beaches are accessible by foot (15 minutes) car (5 minutes) and train.
Caravanning
The camping ground is level and safe for children. The caravan and motor home pitches are hard standing and fully serviced to include, electric hook up, cold drinking water, and drainage. The pitches will accommodate large mobile homes, such as Winnebago, and single and double axel touring caravans.
Log Cabins
High quality furnishings, fittings and appliances ensure that you
will have the time to relax. The setting and location of the cabins provide the
privacy for that unforgettable romantic long weekend. A bolt hole to
return to after a day out sailing, walking, immersing yourselves in
the natural beauty and history of the area, or maybe just sitting
with the Sunday papers, with a glass of wine and good company. Then
why not treat yourself to the special indulgence of the hot spa tub
and Jacuzzi privately situated on your own deck? A bottle of bubbly
in the steamy spa water is sure to go to anyone's head!
There are five cabins and they sleep up to eight
people with generous space and plenty of luxury facilities. Loads of
indoor entertainment with flat screen TV, Freeview, DVD and CD
