About the site
The site is tucked into secluded woodland on the beautiful Isle of Purbeck, part of the Rempstone Estate. A family favourite since 1975, it's a 'Swallows and Amazons' affair, with access to 12 acres of fabulous outdoor space to tempt keen walkers and cyclists. There are over a hundred unmarked grass pitches to choose from. From 30 spacious non electric pitches in the main campsite woodland area to 85 spread across the large open camping field, all of which are suitable for tents and small campervans. In a separate field, there are an additional ten grass pitches with electric hook up, also suitable for tents and small campervans. If you're looking to bring your campervan or motorhome, there are five hardstanding pitches available all with electric hook ups! There are also 22 luxury lodges available all year round. A truly wonderful base to explore Dorset's countryside and Jurassic coast from, with golden sand beaches being just 15 minutes away. Dogs are welcome onsite but please keep them on the lead. Fire pits are allowed to achieve that traditional camping atmosphere, but please make sure they are raised off the ground as to not damage the grass.

The new showers and loos in the fields were genius! So much cleaner and a million times better than the main block. These were disappointing and not clean. We will be back again soon!
Not relaxing at all!

I'll start with the positives - it's in a fantastic location for exploring Dorset and the Jurassic coast. Well stocked shop, and the café looked good although we didn't use it. Unfortunately, that's about it. If you're wanting a peaceful and relaxing place to stay, this is not it! Large groups of people pitched together, loud music, shouting, chanting into the early hours despite there being a 10:30 curfew for quiet. There were drunk people around our tent in the middle of the night, which didn't feel safe. Very stressful having kids unable to sleep because of so much noise and then tired and crabby the next day. All together, a very unpleasant experience. If it was a one off, I wouldn't write a negative review but three out of three nights, it was the same. Showers were very grubby as well but I overheard a member of staff saying there were over 200 pitches booked that weekend, so not really surprising. Will not be returning.
