Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2025

Very pleasant and simple campsite in rural north Dorset with great views. This a simple campsite - not a holiday park - and it is great for that. Just pitch up and enjoy the view and have a fire. Campsite has fire pit hire - recycled washer drums sat on a steel wheel - perfect for the job, buy some wood or bring your own.

Great campsite

Suited my needs for a one night stop-over, splitting my long journey to Cornwall. Only a short walk to a local pub/restaurant, and I like, too, that it is pet friendly. Great for children - plenty of space to to run around, and farm animals to visit. A short walk to town, though on the site itself, you feel you're right out in the countryside.

Excellent campsite

Great site on the edge of Shaftesbury, walkable into town but definitely in the countryside with great views. Nice flat pitches, decent toilets. Fire pits and logs available for hire.

Lovely stay

The site is in a wonderful spot with amazing views over Dorset, easy to walk into town with a pub 10 minutes away. The facilities are basic but clean and well maintained. We would definitely stay there again.

Lovely and peaceful

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ amazing camping experience! I recently stayed at Holyrood and can't recommend it highly enough! The location is stunning, surrounded by breathtaking scenery that made for some amazing hikes and peaceful moments by the campfire. Whether you're an experienced camper or new to the experience, it's the perfect getaway. I can't wait to return for another relaxing and memorable stay!

Easy location to find, lots of room and incredible views. I had a very relaxing time. The toilets were clean but there was not many of them. I didn't use the showers as we only stayed one night. Excellent value for money. The owner was very friendly and came by to say hello. Would definitely recommend.

A lovely quiet campsite

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

A lovely quiet campsite in an idyllic location overlooking the Dorset countryside. The site itself has plenty of space and free run to pitch up where suits. The facilities are great, the showers particularly! Access to the site is narrow, especially if you've got a larger van but certainly not inaccessible. You just need to be prepared. Will definitely be returning in the near future.

Great campsite close to Shaftesbury!

This was a perfect campsite for what we wanted. Basic camping, simple, clean facilities. Fire pits, dog friendly and a lovely, welcoming host. The location is in walking distance of Shaftesbury…but very peaceful. The view is perfect. We will definitely be coming back.

Quiet and relaxing, perfect for exploring Shaftesbury

Very relaxed campsite in a gorgeous location. Facilities are small and nothing fancy but well kept and clean. Lots of wildlife to see and the town and a pub are a short walk away. Totally recommend!

We had an amazing time here and didn't want to leave. It's also only 10 minutes walk to Shaftesbury Centre. The owner, Jason, was also extremely friendly and helpful. We will be coming back!

Great place to camp for bike packing

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesMay 2024

Great views, clean campsite, good amenities for the basics and easy to find. Loved it for bike packing (Bath to Bournemouth), with the only downside being the hill into Shaftesbury (but it's well worth it). Could maybe do with somewhere dedicated to locking up bikes.

Lovely stay

This was our 2nd visit to this site. Lovely views, quiet site and clean toilets and showers. Could do with another toilet and sink in the mens, and cover for washing up area. Good value for money. Jason was very friendly and welcoming. Would recommend and visit again.
