Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: We stayed for 2 nights as a large group (16 children aged 3-11) and 14 adults! We had a great time, we were allowed to pitch together and had plenty of space to do so, on the level pitch. Staff were on site if needed, and the cafe was lush next to the beautiful lake!

Disliked: Possibly some cleaning products in the toilets, kept up high, just so you can freshen it up after the person before you has been in! An additional toilet and shower would be great, but the 2 of each that are there are more than adequate!

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely campsite, very friendly, not all squashed together, basic but good, clean toilet & shower facilities. Rentable fire pits are a bonus as well as SUPs if you don’t have your own. The lake has lots of access points & great for paddle boards, kayaks & swimmers alike, dog & child friendly. Perfect for families as well as groups.

Disliked: Only thing that could be improved on is the cafe menu, a kids meal option would be great as well as something other than sandwiches.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Beautiful lake setting, dog friendly. On site manager friendly and helpful.

Disliked: There are better sites for young children as no free space for play when all the pitches full and got to be super careful around the lake.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Everything, we booked the night before and for that much sort notice price was more than reasonable. It was great we hired a paddle board for the beautiful lake, walked around the grounds and had a nice calm nights sleep. Really lovely hot showers and clean toilets was so perfect.

Disliked: We didn’t get to use the cafe as was shut on our visit

Local attractions

Need a tipple to top off your evening by the lake? Take a 10-minute walk along to the village’s very own vineyard, Bride Valley Vineyard, for tours, tastings and a bottle or two to sip while the sun goes down. (If you’re more of a beer drinker, you’ll need to take the 15-minute drive to Palmers Brewery, which also runs excellent tours.) Time for the beach? Take your pick from the scenic offerings of West Bay and Burton Bradstock (both 15 minutes’ drive) and the 18-mile shingle stretch at Chesil Beach (half an hour), or head off to Weymouth (half an hour) to see the Sandworld sand sculptures and ogle the underwater beasts at the Sea Life Centre. Away from the coast, top days out might take you to Abbotsbury Swannery and gardens (20 minutes) or to explore the Teddy Bear Museum, Dinosaur Museum and Maiden Castle Iron Age fort in Dorchester (half an hour).
