Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2023

This campsite is basic but has everything you need - clean toilets, showers and a washing up area. It's close to lots of beautiful Dorset beauty spots, such as Lyme Regis, Weymouth, Westbay, Durdle Door, Studland, Eype, Charmouth ect. The campsite does have electric hook-ups, but also has a plug socket to charge your phone if you don't have an electric hook up. Also, a microwave, which is really handy when the weather is not the best, and you have allergies that prevent you eating out. The people that run it are nice, kind, helpful and know the area well. My 11 month old enjoyed borrowing a Cube slide to play on while at the tent.

Excellent stay

Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2022

After looking for a last minute campsite only a couple of weeks before arriving on a bank holiday weekend with friends, we found this little gem within our small budget for a last minute trip. Chris was accommodating putting our group together fitting us in. He was super friendly and made us feel very welcome, which is great as when you arrive with your 3 children and a dog you can sometimes feel like you are imposing. The showers were kept very clean and the added bonus of a place to wash dishes and a microwave was super helpful! I plan to book again in 2023!

A very warm welcome on arrival. The campsite was clean and organised great for relaxation on-site. The views are outstanding. Great for country walks. Chris has amazing local knowledge of the area, and was a very helpful person for our 4-day break. 😀

Beautiful campsite with a great host

Medium Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2022

I almost don't want to recommend it as worried everyone will discover this amazing place! A lovely campsite, great location, brilliant super clean facilities and Chris the host was so kind and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble, on hand to help and great to chat to about recommendations of things to do. The showers and toilets were kept immaculately clean, which is a near constant cleaning job on a campsite. One teeny comment was it would be good to have a little bench in the shower cubicle to pop your things on while you shower, there are hooks which help but a little bench would be good, or some more hooks. We will definitely be back!! Thank you

Lovely

Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2022

We booked our stay here at short notice having stayed nearer Poole for 5 days prior, wanting to extend our stay. Chris was great! Very welcoming, helpful and full of local knowledge! Nothing was too much trouble, lending us an electric adapter and also a dustpan and brush to sweep our tent out! The location was great, just outside Dorchester with easy access to Weymouth and also only 45 minutes from Bournemouth's beaches. Lots of local places to visit with recommendations galore from Chris regarding sights, shops and places to eat and drink. Facilities were spotless, cleaned regularly and there was even a microwave provided, great for heating milk at bedtime for little ones. Chris came across as a genuine man, really wanting to share what he has enjoyed throughout his life, the sights and all of the wildlife that nature has to offer. I wholeheartedly recommend this site.

Lovely site
