The site welcomes tents, campervans, and motorhomes, with 160 unmarked pitches available across three fields with electric available too. Visitors can enjoy the sight of wild deer, pheasants, and birds roaming free in the fields, with one of the fields bordered by a steam train linking Corfe Castle and Swanage. Dogs are welcome in two of the three fields. Hardstanding pitches are also available for motorhomes and campervans.

Really enjoyed our stay, we visited nearing the end of the season. Was very peaceful - a perfect break for us. The staff were only to pleased to help. The shop was very plentiful for all the things you may need and for things you may have forgotten to bring. Having the steam railway was also a bonus as they passed by the campsite. Lots of waving to all the passengers and also to the drivers. If you like castles, then Corfe castle is a must. Also a trip on the steam railway from Corfe to Swanage was also a must. Overall, a lovely place to visit and would definitely revisit at some time as we journey on in our campervan.
Lovely location, facilities need improving

It's a lovely site - good location for the Isle of Purbeck and it was lovely and quiet this weekend - but facilities need some upgrading. There are blocks of temporary toilets which were not very clean - but it has been muddy so I understand it's difficult to keep it clean. The main shower block only has 2 toilets in which could be insufficient if site was busy - it was very quiet this weekend. The other main toilet block was closed. The charge of 50p for a shower is minimal, but seems a bit stingy when you are paying £30 a night, and inconvenient if you want a shower when the shop isn't open to get a token! I would go again because it's a lovely site, but hope improvements are made before busy season. We didn't meet any staff so can't comment fully on the service.

Lovely site, owners were great. Myself and the dogs had a great time. The shower/toilet block was lovely. It's really cold this time of year so didn't use the showers. Next to the train track, but they are steam trains and only run a few times a day, nothing too early or late. Definitely one to stay at again.
