Primrose Fields Campsite Reviews
Enjoy starry nights and campfires on a peaceful wildflower meadow with views of Dorset heathland. Camp at Primrose Fields Campsite by venerable oak trees and take midnight walks. Let the children play, chase butterflies and enjoy the rope swing. Fire pits and large BBQs are available onsite. Great walking/cycling straight from site on the Frome Valley Trail, Hardy Way and NCN 2. Spectacular Purbeck and the Jurassic Coast are a short drive away.

Brilliant. Perfect for us. They even lent us a tin opener as we'd forgotten ours! We could have had a fire pit, but was so exhausted with travel, we just went to bed. Definitely will next time. Great place, would stay again.
Fantastic site

This site was perfect for us. The site is large enough for everyone to have their own space and the adjacent woods are lovely for exploring. Facilities were clean and plentiful and the toilets are portable, but very clean. The showers were also brilliant. Lots to do in the local area. The fire pits are another lovely touch. We can't wait to be back.
Fantastic friendly welcoming

What an absolute gem of a site located next to a huge forest, ideal for walking the dog. Top notch facilities for wild camping, pitch where you like on this huge site, enabling you to find a quiet space or be closer to others. No electric link but lovely showers, toilets and washing up facilities. Fire pit hire, logs and kindling for sale, and very reasonable. Hosts were excellent, extremely welcoming and happy to advise on places to visit. A very special place with great vibes. Will definitely visit again.
Fab, highly recommend

The site is perfectly located for a number of tourist attractions and is reasonably close to the town centre. There are a couple of smaller shops within a mile or so of the site and a pub literally next door, but you definitely need your own transport. The site is basic but has everything you need. The facilities are well maintained and the staff are exceptionally helpful and attentive.
Nice vibe

We enjoyed the almost level pitch next to extensive woodland, perfect to walk the dog. We hired a firepit with wood, and it was a joy to sit out in the evening watching all the twinkling lights. A lot of families came and the children ran around having a great time until well after dark. There was a wedding party in a marquee so we had the added bonus of listening to the Cèilidh band. But noise ended before eleven, so it was lovely and peaceful all night. The facilities are a bit of trek, but sinks and showers with hot water and chemical toilets on site were quite sufficient. Bring a torch, the chemical toilets have no lighting. Also the nearest pub doesn't do food, so be prepared to travel to Wool for that. The owner stays on site and is very helpful and friendly.
Lovely campsite

Absolutely lovely campsite and very welcoming owners! Could do with an on site little shop or something. Other than that, everything was perfect.

Primrose Fields is in that sweet spot, a relaxed and carefree site that's like wild camping, but also has decent facilities. You can pitch wherever you like and be with your friends. The site was busy when we were there because it was the August bank holiday but everything was still very chill and there was plenty of space. It's a beautiful spot with big skies - we spent all day cloud watching and at night the lack of light pollution meant the stars and the Milky Way were amazing. The showers look very rustic, but there's loads of hot water and they were actually excellent. I'd definitely camp here again.
Absolutely lovely setting

Such a lovely place, very quiet with lots of woodland walks. Hosts are very lovely people and the showers and loos are beautifully kept. Very tidy. Clean showers with lots of hot water. Clean toilets and kept at all times. Lovely kind lady that runs it and a man that helps out. Thoroughly recommended.
Thoroughly enjoyable stay

We had a great stay at Primrose. Really nice showers and washing up facilities. Campground backs onto a wooded area with trails that were fun to explore. Pub at the door with a great garden area and playground for kids. Very generous amount of wood provided with the fire pit. All in all, we had a great stay.

A simple, well managed and peaceful site with loads of space, simple clean facilities and super helpful and friendly site owners. My older boys and I had a fun few days using the site as a base to explore from and relaxing on site in the evenings around a campfire.
Everything you need, lovely spacious site!

Lovely relaxed campsite with decent facilities. We had a warm welcome to the site by the staff there who were very informative. We arrived later than 9pm due to van issues and phoned to let the site know - The staff had no problem with us arriving late at all. The site is a free for all, pick where you want to camp, kind of site. Plenty of space and option for group camping. The facilities were basic but everything you would need. Please be aware before booking that the toilets are portable toilets, we knew this beforehand and are not bothered, but I know some people weren't expecting them. The toilets were emptied everyday of our 3 day stay. The toilets were generally clean and well kept. There isn't that many toilets per person if the site is busy, but we only had to queue twice. No lights in toilets - Quite good though as there was no bugs inside! Remember to bring a good torch! The showers, sinks and washing up area was at the entrance to the campsite and generally set aside from everything else, but only a small walk away! There was 3 showers, each had their own changing area with lots of space to put your things. The showers themselves were portable but were very spacious and the water was lovely and warm and had good pressure. We didn't have to queue for the showers but we went about 5pm and after we showered there was a queue of 4 people. I would suggest showering during the day rather than the evening/morning, as it got quite busy. There was a set of 6 sinks, I believe, where you could go to wash/brush teeth etc. We didn't use these ourselves but they looked clean and wasn't busy. The washing up area had 4 sinks with drying areas. The water pressure did depend on the others there at the time, but after a little wait, it would work. Enough space to wash up and had warm water. Once again, we didn't have to queue for these either! The location was great and one of the main reasons we picked the site. About a 15 minute drive from Durdle Door. Lots of places to visit nearby as well. Please note there wasn't many supermarkets nearby and we drove quite a while for a smaller Tesco, but it was on the way back from somewhere so didn't bother us. The site was generally very relaxed, no problems with our van being let on the site. We have partly converted our van into a campervan, but from the exterior it still looks like a normal van. The people at the site were overall respectful of the rules, music to be turned off at 9, but you can stay up later. A couple groups had very loud music but this was turned off around 9. Some groups did stay up chatting past midnight though but it didn't really bother us. Seemed like a great site for kids with a woods at the site, which included a swing or two. Overall we would choose to go here again if we were visiting the area. The price was decent (especially for a bank holiday) and the site had everything you would need on a campsite. We would recommend this site for a chilled, relaxed, country stay.
Great place!

A basic stay campsite, but very well looked after by the owners. Lovely hot water showers and regularly cleaned and serviced toilets. A large flat camping area with local forest walks only a couple of miles from Wareham for shopping. Central for many other areas and attractions. Recommended.

A lovely place - does what it says on the tin. Pitch anywhere and drive vehicles on field (within reason). Campfire kit highly recommended. Nice showers and toilets.

Christina was the most friendly, approachable and informative host. I glamped in my suv on a futon mattress and had THE most peaceful 9 hour sleep, which for me is remarkable. Think I was the only solo camper and the nearby kids found my novel sleeping quarters laughable in comparison to their palatial tents, that said it was a delightful sunset and sunrise in the perfect setting for my yomps around Swanage, Old Harry Rocks, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, reliving my childhood holiday experiences. I shall of course return in 2024 (if not before) and for value and location shall chose Primrose Fields
Fabulous location, clean and family friendly

First time camping with our own tent rather than glamping. This campsite was perfectly located about 10 mins from quite a few local attractions and landmarks. Lovely and quiet, family-friendly with plenty of space for them to run and a forest for them to explore. Brilliant facilities, all very clean and well maintained. The hosts are so lovely and really helpful. Will definitely come again.
Best camp showers ever!!!

What a lovely place, we booked an extra night as such a nice spot in itself and a brilliant location for a base for adventures. The owners were lovely and the handmade shower cubicles and wash basins etc have really been thought about in terms of what's needed. New little glamping pods were arriving when we were here so we hope to come back with my Mum who can't 'tent it' anymore but a pod will be perfect for her! Thanks for a lovely stay!!

Not terrible, but not great either. The loos and showers are portaloo style, and to be fair, that is stated. But they're not ideal. The showers, while adequate, didn't have sufficient ventilation. Very quickly got steamed up in there. So, yeah, average. And the loos in the middle of the field, showers close to the entrance and no actual bathrooms as it were, normal ablutions was a multi stage affair that was harder than it really ought to be. Given that there was at least one "no loud noises" sign. There were far too many people on site that thought they could play the guitar, and sing. Most of them really couldn't. The best of them barely could and none of them should have been at close to midnight. Not overly impressive. Nothing so intolerable that I felt the need to wander over and complain. But all the same, not really on.
Great place to stay

The welcome was very informative and cheerful. Site is very good value and peaceful, suitable for younger ages. The only criticisms I have is that the mobile signal is very poor and the recycling facilities are inadequate. I would like to see separate recycling for plastics etc. All in all, a very pleasant stay, thank you.
