Great campsite
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2026 Absolutely lovely campsite amd position to all the places I wanted to explore.
Had a wonderful stay
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2026 Absolutely wonderful stay, would definitely come back again. Close to lots of things to do and local amenities. Friendly owners. Decent facilities sometimes the showers were too hot which wasn’t ideal when I was trying to shower my daughter but we made it work. I was there just me and 5yo and I felt really safe the whole time which isn’t always the way on some sites. 5 stars all round.
A great stay
Trailer Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2026 We had a fantastic stay, staff were very friendly and helpful and the camp shop was very well stocked, better than some much larger sites. We’ll definitely be back.
Wonderful time at Woodyhyde again.
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2026 The whole Woodyhyde team are friendly and knowledgeable about the area. I could get lots of things needed in the shop including food and ice packs and any camping kit required. No shortage of shower tokens.
Really clean showers and sinks and toilets on the whole. This was given 4 due to a minority of mucky campers.
More regular hot food service would have given facilities a 5.
All campers I spoke to were really approachable and friendly. Dogs, children and adults of all ages.
Lots of walks, pubs and just the right level of peaceful.
Still love the steam train.
Great site,ideal location to explore
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2026 Had a great stay here,facilities were spot on and everyone was super welcoming and friendly in the shop
Nice location and good weather Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2026 Staff were also nice very accommodating and friendly
Lovely relaxed site in great location
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2026 This ticked the boxes for us and was as described.
Location was great - a short walk to Corfe Castle or up in the hills behind to catch the castle silhouette in the sunset. Previous reviews helpful - shower tokens not an issue. Holding the taps down to wash or wash up was annoying but an understandable way to control water use.
I didn't see any covered washing up areas for inclement weather but not a problem for our stay. The on site shop well kitted out.
No kids with us, but all the others seemed to enjoy the little wooded area.
A lovely site
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2026 This was a lovely site in a beautiful location, with fantastic views. However, there were a few issues.
The toilet block is central to the three fields, which makes sense for convenience, but the steep hill climb back up to our pitch was something of a challenge. As we had a loo in the van, it was not too much of a problem. The toilets were also very low and I didn't find a more accessible toilet in the white toilet block. My husband described them as "infants toilets" - i.e. the sort of toilets found in a primary school. As the site is child friendly, this may have been a deliberate choice but for us older adults with arthritis, it was a challenge to get off the loo. There were no grab rails to assist and the toilet block did look somewhat dated.
Working out when the shop was going to be open was also a bit of a challenge as there didn't seem to be consistent times. This made buying the tokens for the showers difficult. The tokens were 50p each for 4 minutes. This seemed a bit expensive to us, especially as the showers didn't look great.
The other problem was the mozzies. I know this is not the site's fault - it's a fact of nature, but we came away smothered in bites and the mozzies were quite large compared to others even a few miles away. We would recommend visitors stock up on mozzie repellent and antihistamines/creams for the bites.
Great Find
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2026 Glad we chose this Campsite....we wanted to be near Swanage... also Corfe Castle, Studland and Wareham are all close by. The pitch sizes are good. The toilet/shower blocks were clean...the showers and washing up water could've been a bit hotter.
The shop was well stocked...only open a couple of hours morning and afternoon.
Great location
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2026 A nice quiet location, well run and kept well.
Will go for a return visit.
Thank you! Great stay!
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2026 What a lovely friendly safe location Woodyhyde is!
The site team were so helpful and friendly. The shop was well stocked. Don’t worry about token operated showers if, like me, you’ve not done that before. There was plenty of room and all the guest / campers / neighbours were friendly. Have booked to go back already. The steam train to the edge of the site was charming.
Lovely
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2026 This site is a must for railway enthusiast, it was very peaceful when we was there ( not school holidays). Idea for visits into swanage
We'd love to come back to Woodyhyde
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2026 This was our first experience camping in a tent, and we can't wait to do it again. In fact, we'd love to come back to Woodyhyde.
The campsite is in a fantastic location, just off the main road and completely surrounded by nature, yet only 18 minutes from the sea. The nearest village, Corfe Castle, is absolutely enchanting and well worth a visit.
The campsite has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect place to relax. We will definitely be coming back, as we'd love to explore more of this beautiful area.
Brilliant site
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2026 Great site! Despite being busy there was still plenty of room
A mixed bag but good
Motorhome - Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2026 Positives. Location, views, Swanage line trains. Wi-Fi excellent coverage but also speed - free streaming.
Shop availability and contents first class. Do whatever pitches. Feels like a Glastonbury site, which is good.
Negatives. Showers and toilet block - okay but shabby and below standard. Impossible grey waste disposal position.
Overall, depends on what is important to you but suited us admirably.
excellent campsite
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2026 a perfect campsite to visit studland and swanage. very friendly staff and excellent facilities. Will definitely be back soon.
Lovely two nights away
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2026 Myself parter and two dogs had an amazing time. Would definitely recommend. The site was very clean , showers very clean ,shop was very useful. Lady in the shop so very polite and helpful. Will definitely be going back
Very peaceful
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2026 Stop over for a 4 day weekend, had an electric grass pitch were I could pitch anywhere in the area, which can be a bit confusing. Great for the trainspotters as they regularly run along the edge of the field.
Highly recommend
Shepherd's Hut - Shepherd's Hut Jun 2026 We had a really lovely stay in one of the Shepard huts. The hut was beautiful, clean and perfect for our 2 night stay.
The campsite has great facilities and perfect location for lovely walks to either Corfe Castle, Dancing Ledge or further along the Jurassic coastal path. Site staff and management were very helpful and friendly.
We would highly recommend and can’t wait to return.
Sunny Camping
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2026 I was camping with my dog, meeting up with family. There were lots of dogs and so doggie people .What's not to like.
Will be returning
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2026 Loved this site and enjoyed taking the steam train to Swanage.
Not many areas for non electric pitches that are close to the facilities, so had a bit of a walk. Toilet block was a little disappointing - felt very basic and a bit dark and dingy and there was paper everywhere on day 1. The shop sells practically everything and the staff are really friendly!
Great site
Yurt - Yurts May 2026 Great site and very welcoming A stars would definitely come again.
Camping weekend
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Pitches May 2026 Beautiful campsite with large pitches and plenty of space for car, 4 man tent and our trailer. Staff were really friendly and very helpful with any questions we had. The weather was gorgeous which is always a bonus. Will definitely go back.
Tranquil
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches May 2026 Even though the site was full by the end of the first afternoon, there was a lovely, peaceful atmosphere. It almost had a festival feel to it.
The only issue we found was that the showers were always cold. Fortunately, the weather was glorious, so we soon warmed up again.
Loved our stay
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches May 2026 We had an electric hard standing pitch - absolutely no issues - although a bit of a walk to the water points. You'll need levelling ramps as there is an incline on all pitches but again - not a significant issue.
Facilities were clean, 4 mins is plenty of time for a shower, which were warm and really clean. No covered washing up area though so was a bit miserable doing this in the rain.
The steam train line right behind our pitch wasn't an issue as it started well into the morning and was a nice sight!
