There are non electric and electric grass pitches for campers, featuring lovely countryside views that stretch for miles. There are also a couple of hardstanding pitches with electric hook up, suitable for caravans, campervans and motorhomes. Venture to Weymouth, just a 25 minute drive away and enjoy the golden sands beaches and incredible attractions, fun for all!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Lovely little campsite, with basic and well maintained facilities. Mr Roberts greeted us on arrival and made us feel very welcome. Lovely views over the fields all around and some fantastic walks along the Frome and through some beautiful little villages. We didn't have time to explore everything, so will be back soon. Thanks again!
