David Bellamy Award Scheme

This year Wareham Forest Tourist Park received the Gold David Bellamy Conservation Award for the work they’ve done to the protect and enhance Britain’s natural environment.

WHAT OUR GUESTS HAVE TO SAY...

Have just returned from 2 weeks stay at your touring park and wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic time, especially as the weather was on our side.

The facilities were always clean and the staff very helpful.  The park is certainly located in an ideal place as its not too far for visiting some of the lovely sites in Dorset.

Mrs. K W
September 2009

We just wanted to say a great big thank you for making our holiday so enjoyable, as we left early on the Sunday morning so missed to speak to anyone. The site was perfect for us. It was clean, tidy and very well organised. The lovely bike tracks through the forests were great and the lovely clean pool to swim in or just relax by was fantastic.

All the staff were so friendly and helpful as nothing was a problem, if you asked them any information they were very kind and generous with their local knowledge and understanding.

Will definitely recommend this site to anyone and would definitely stay with you again if we came down there for a holiday again.

Thank you so much again, a big pat on the back for you all.
