Oakdene Forest Park Reviews and Comments
Read customer reviews on Oakdene Forest Park
'Although a small park we found it to have plenty to offer. There is a well stocked shop covering all your essential items at reasonable prices along with a cafe. We found the evening entertainment was of a good standard and the staff were friendly and polite. On site there is a heated indoor pool of good size along with a spa pool, sauna and steam room from over 16's - there is also a water flume. The outside offers crazy golf, a small play park, nearby woods to explore and an outside pool for warmer weather. Inside there is a small amusement arcade and fitness room. The park is well situated next to the A31 with easy access to Bournemouth, Poole, Dorchester and Weymouth. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to friends.'

Its close to a few pubs and there is a supermarket just down the road which is handy for any essentials, plus you have an on site Spar for essentials. Overall I would recommend this to people who have families as we had a fantastic experience, and the welcome from the staff was very friendly!'
