Electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The pitch we had was lovely, the bathrooms and showers were very clean and tidy at all times. The children’s activities were great to keep them entertained while at the campsite. The staff were really friendly and welcoming.
Disliked: This is just a silly one, but the bees that hung around our tent 😂 but all part of camping I guess.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Well organised pitches - Defined pitch area allocated to you on arrival Friendly welcome - The husband and wife team were very welcoming and helpful from arrival to departure Plenty of clean and well maintained toilets and good hot showers Lots of regularly empied bins across the site Numerous and well placed water taps across the site A good small outside play area for the kids An indoor games area with pool, table tennis and air hockey tables A shop with all the essentials you might need We also had a great and reasonably priced curry cooked onsite from a visiting catering van - This was only available on Saturday, but highly recommended Well situated for Weymouth by car - About a 10/15min drive

Liked: Really friendly welcome and personally escorted to our pitch, facilities explained etc… Pitch was great, plenty of space and the site was very safe for my daughters to run around. Nice atmosphere even though the site was full, chilled and no issues with unwanted noise at night. Good facilities which were always clean. Easy to get to places for the day and would definitely return. Thanks for having us👍
