About the site
Located in rural Dorset, just a 15 minute drive from the seaside harbour town of Weymouth, this is a prime location for those looking for country walks and days out at the seaside. Tents, trailer tents and campervans are welcome across the site's range of 6m x 8m grass pitches. Opt for one of the 20 non electric, or 30 electric pitches, each suitable for up to six guests. In the camping field, you'll all also have plenty of open space for games and family fun. If glamping is more your style, the site also offers six charming bell tents sleeping up to four guests. Inside the bell tents, you'll find double and two single beds, electric sockets, lighting and lovely soft furnishings. Outside you will have a fire pit outdoor tables and chairs, great for nights under the stars. You will also have a private shower and bathroom in facilities nearby. BBQs and campfires in fire pits are welcome, but so as not to harm the lush wide field, the owners ask that you borrow some bricks to raise them from the ground before you start sizzling your sausages. Four-legged friends are allowed for camping and touring, but not in the bell tents, sorry.

A lovely small quiet site. Spacious pitches and a short drive to the local amenities. The toilets and showers were fine, never had to que to get in them, they could do with maybe a mid day clean as they can get messy, especially when it rains. The truck that comes on a Saturday to serve curry is a nice idea to break it up, but the curries are not amazing. My only advice would be for the staff running the site to be a little bit more relaxed when people arrive on the site and go to join friends who have already checked in. I was marched straight to reception to check in and pay, when half of my bookings was already here and had paid for their pitch!
A Dorset delight

From the warm welcome on arrival, to finding a quiet pitch for my tent and I, the proprietors of Buckland Campsite couldn't have been more helpful. The site is beautifully kept and excellent facilities available. The level site has far reaching views over open countryside and easy access by car to Portland and Weymouth. This will be my go to campsite in Dorset!
