Bournemouth is good for days out ( very busy) as for camping close by not so sure apart from all the sites in the New Forest (Christchurch on).

We normally go on down to Sandbanks and cross on the ferry to Studland. (£3.50 each way)

Some Campsites there ( tend be pricey but good and you get slightly better weather on the Isle of Purbeck)

Woodyhyde where we normally stay
