Gostou: Really nice South African brai truck, live music every Saturday and the band was actually pretty good, friendly staff, good vibes all round. Fantastic view of Portland and Weymouth when you wake up. Showers were very clean, urinals a plus so no queues for the toilets. 30 minute drive to go climbing in Portland. Also a nice bustling pub with pretty good food just a 15 minute walk away.

Não gostou: The non-quiet areas are on a hill which is quite steep in some places. I was fine, but my colleague with an inferior tent got a bit damp during a torrential downpour between 10pm and 3am.

Gostou: The campsite was laid out very nicely with reception towards the entrance. A lot of space and so large gaps between tents. No trees means no birds singing at 0500!!! It was windy as you might expect but nothing to worry about. The toilets were composting and took a little time getting use to but presented no problem; very clean. We had live music both Saturday and Sunday which was nice to see. At night time it was very, very quiet with everyone behaving themselves very well. It took us about 10 minutes to drive down to Weymouth beach. I've been to many campsites and this was the best so far, especially in and around Weymouth. We plan to use this as our future base for visits to the area.

Não gostou: Nothing really. The ground was hard as described in the literature but this was useful as it was a little windy. My wife didn't like the toilets but there again she doesn't really like any toilets! Disliked having my teenage daughter with us.

Gostou: Views from the site were amazing! There’s live music on the weekend (though wraps up at a reasonable hour), a bar and hot food available to buy on site and the facilities are excellent including hot showers. The site is about a 15 min drive from Dorchester South and Weymouth train stations and local taxi firms serve it well. We walked down into Sutton Poyntz about 20-30 mins to catch the Jurassic Coaster buses to Durdle Door/Lulworth Cove which were super fast and in summer are even open top. We didn’t make it to the local beach but that’s also pretty close.

Não gostou: It would be good to have some bins down the far end of the campsite

Gostou: Absolutely great little campsite. Fantastic view, fires BBQ’s and dogs allowed, live bands, food and bar. What’s not too like? It’s on top of a hill so if you don’t like wind this might not be the best for you unless the weather is perfect. Nice and simple to check in, friendly staff and decent little compost toilets. Will definitely be back.

Gostou: Really sensible rules about noise at night. Amazing friendly atmosphere. Excellent music on Saturday night at the outdoor bar. BBQ food available was high quality if a little expensive. Incredible views of Weymouth Bay.

Não gostou: A little exposed when the wind picks up, but that is a minor issue if you are sensible.

Do gerente: Hi Thanks for your feedback. It is really useful. I am sorry you found it noisy. We do our best to keep the late night people away from the early risers but it does not always work. Thanks again. Tim
