Yuck!

Oh so very crowded. Most of the pitches do not have sufficient parking space, therefore its simply cars everywhere!

The shower blocks are clearly not checked or cleaned throughout the day - therefore they were dirty, and often flooded! I was witnes to a woman taking a tumble as the ground outside one of the blocks was so slippery.

Some lights around the park were not working leaving some areas very dark.

However, if these things were improved upon, it is in a great location with lovely surrounding coutryside. With loads of things to do right on its doorstep.

1st time at this site, and a good base for Poole / Bournmouth, site was clean, and the wardens were helpful .. The area for football was dismal, and too far from the touring area, it appears that shorefields have used what would have been a good little play area for ball games in the middle and used it for more pitches..(got this from previous reviews) .. Pitches did feel a little cramped..

We stayed at Merly Court for a few nights during June this year. We have a lovley time, Big pitches flat and well kept. We enjoyed the pool and play areas, The walks round the wooded pitch area were fun for the kids, plenty of shower and toilet blocks all clean and well kept. Out of the 6 outings we have had with our trailer tent this year I would say this was my favorite site. A great base for visiting the coast.
