About the site
Spread across approximately five acres of level ground with stunning views towards Portland Bill and the Dorset coastline, camping here is a treat. Keeping things refreshingly simple, with minimal facilities leaving as little impact on the land as possible. All pitches are on grass and provide an almost wild camping experience for tents and small campervans, with sunrise, sunsets, and stargazing aplenty on the shared camping field. Please bring own camping equipment. Just a short walk will take you to the cliff edge, the perfect sunset watching spot over beautiful blue waters. You'll also find the site is home to plenty of wildlife including owls and kestrels, and there's no light pollution here too - ideal for nights under a starry sky. In peak season and holidays, enjoy the daily specials from the onsite food canteen! Dogs welcome at an additional cost and the site own a horse riding school too, with bookable riding lessons.

This is a nearly wild site and is just that. Fresh drinking water and hot showers are the only main amenities. (As advertised). Showers were lovely and hot, and clean! It's in a stunning location, sea views all around. Pitches were great, plenty of room. Fire pits very reasonable to hire, with wood etc available. Direct access to stunning coastal walks, lighthouse, horse riding. We had a fab stay.
Great Stay

I would recommend this campsite to anyone that doesn't mind being out in nature with minimal facilities. The showers are great and warm, and at £1 for a few minutes, they are seem good value. The toilets were a down side, with 1 compost toilet that was fine, and portaloos that in our case were not clean. However, we were told that they were thinking of putting toilets in the field, this would be a great idea. The location is amazing, great views and walks nearby and a short walk to the pubs. The cafe is a nice touch and all the staff we talked to were very friendly. It was also lovely seeing all the farm animals. If we are down in the Weymouth area again, we will be back!
