Liked: The staff were friendly and welcoming. The place is amazing with pleasant views and close to bigger towns were to eat and buy things. Close to nice beaches and Nature reserves.
Disliked: Will be nice to have more showers closer to top of hill as they were our of order. Mark each pitch will make more comfortable and have more privacy.

Liked: Great views
Disliked: There were only showers in one field, you had to walk across a road to get to a set of showers on a different field, the quiet rule wasn’t put in place, people around us were being loud at 3am, dogs were let loose around campsite without recall but not monitored, several times had dogs run into our tent barking or being aggressive towards other dogs, I was very disappointed as the reviews seemed great but will not be returning

Liked: Great little site! As a female solo camper, it felt very safe and welcoming. Divided into "night owl" and "early bird" areas to ensure you get the stay you want. The South Dorset Ridgeway goes though the middle of the site so a great place to stay to pick up the local trails.
