  • Càmping rural de Dorset a 13 km de Dorchester i a uns 25 de la costa
  • Camins per buscar tresors i pel camp a pocs passos
  • A poc més d'1,5 km de tres pubs, una sala de te i una botiga
Warning! A trip to ancient Cerne Abbas may leave you with a mammoth yearning never to leave: the Dorset village has been described as the ‘Britain’s most desirable village’ to live among the UK’s scenic many. It’s eight miles from Dorchester, within day-tripping distance of the Jurassic Coast and, most famously, is where the 180ft Cerne Abbas Giant doth dwell high up on the hillside. (Yes, the naughty giant with no sense of shyness.) Around a 40-minute stroll from Cerne Abbas is the mightily convenient Giants Head Caravan & Camping Park, a family- and dog-friendly site over three and a half acres with grassy pitches, immense views over the Dorset countryside and thumping good access to the best of Dorset. Countryside walks, as well as treasure trails, literally start within steps of the pitches: Giants Head has several planned walks straight from the park, and runs Treasure Trails Dorset directly from it so intrepid guests can pick up one or two of the 50+ trail packs and take off on the hunt for hidden gems. Sounds like a towering amount of fun… As befits its location, everything at Giants Head is kept nicely natural – think mature trees, hedgerows and trim lawns; and the level or gently sloping pitches are variously secluded, shady or open (there’s also a special tail-wagging area for campers with canines). All parts of the park are well-drained and a hard road leads to pitches. Amenities include showers, hand basins, laundry and washing-up areas; the park doesn’t have a shop, but a well-stocked village store, a tearoom and three pubs are in Cerne Abbas, a mile and a quarter away.

Què opinen els clients

Elogiat per amfitrions amigables i servicials, amb vistes impressionants al camp i ambient pacífic. Ben situat per explorar, amb dutxes netes, tot i que algunes instal·lacions són antigues. Places desiguals i prop d'una carretera sorollosa, però espai generós i benvinguda general.

Em va agradar We liked the location and the facilities. Kids enjoyed running around and our night time bbqs and fires. Very laid back and friendly atmosphere.

No em va agradar We were pitched on a hill, which we managed okay with but would have been easier to be flatter.

El recomanaria als amics Hi tornaria a anar

Del gerent: We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and the kids all had a good time.

We are very relaxed here, all we want is for everyone to have a lovely time while staying. The majority of vistors over the Bank Holiday wekend had all been here many times before, so it is always a nice atmosphere.

Next time you come, just give me a ring and I will make sure I reserve one of the level pitches for you.

Look forward to seeing you again soon.

Em va agradar Views

No em va agradar Proximity of super loud road. We had cars passing by few meters form our pitch, separated from the campsite by a hedge and small fence only. This was not a peaceful camping experience.

El recomanaria als amics Hi tornaria a anar

Del gerent: I am sorry you did not enjoy your brief stay with us, if you had stayed longer than just a few hours I think you would have had time to appreciate the site.

We did go out of our way to accomodate you, you made a late booking, you arrived on site an hour after our final arrival time. As you booked so late and it being the Bank Holiday weekend I was not able to give you a pitch already booked by others, some who had booked up to a year in advance.

The road is not a main road it is only a C road, however as this is the countryside and it is harvest time there will be the odd tractor passing. There were thirteen other caravans/motorhomes parked along the hedgerow by the roadside where you were and not one of them commented on the noise of the road. The boundary is actually a row of ash trees and a hedgerow.

I hope you managed to find a quieter site, which I think would be difficult on the busy August bank Holiday weekend.

The amenities were very clean…

No em va agradar The road is very busy didn’t stop all night

El recomanaria als amics Hi tornaria a anar

Del gerent: We are really sorry you didn't enjoy your couple of days with us.

I am really surprised at your 1/5 rating for the location, this is a beautiful part of the countryside with access to most parts of Dorset within an hour.

Also disapopoointed to see a 2/5 for value for money, I don't know of any other site who would give a reduced price because a member of your group didn't turn up on the day, which i did.

The road can busy during the day but is quite at night.

Exellent

Em va agradar Very nice place...friendly owner....clean and tidy toilets...30 minutes from the blue water beach...Highly recomended:)

El recomanaria als amics Hi tornaria a anar

Del gerent: We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.

We are pleased with our new toilet block, it took a bit longer than we wanted but we think it was worth the wait,

Only 30 minutes from the beaches and about an hour for anywhere else in Dorset, we are very central here.

Look forward ti seeing you again soon.

Very friendly welcome and all round a great stay

Em va agradar We stayed at Giants Head campsite because we were walking the Wessex Ridgeway with a relative and we were all so glad that we did. It could not have been a better location for this walk because the Wessex Ridgeway passes behind the campsite and I'm sure it would be a superb base for many other places to walk in Dorset. We had a lovely welcome from the owner Caroline who was always around the site if we needed to ask her any questions. Considering the site was packed and it was the middle of the school holidays, the site was clean, well organized and relatively quiet. Caroline kindly helped us to complete the final section of our weekend's walking by helping us with parking and we were extremely grateful for that. Prices were very competitive, the welcome pack was very informative, the showers were excellent and we were amazed with the phone and internet signal. One tip: Ask for a pitch closer to the entrance if you want a flat pitch.

No em va agradar No complaints. We really enjoyed our stay.

Em va agradar The campsite owner kept a good eye on the site so everyone was well behaved and there was a very friendly atmosphere. The toilets and showers were always kept very clean, despite the site being busy at the height of the season. Lovely surroundings and good walks could be had from the site.

El recomanaria als amics Hi tornaria a anar

Del gerent: We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. We do have a really friendly group, most who have stayed here many times over the years, they were really happy to help with your new tent !!

We are pleased to say that out temporary toilet block has now gone and our lovely new toilet block is open, just need a few final touch ups.

We are lucky to be in such a lovely polace with lots of great walks.

Look forward to seeing you all again very soon.

Caroline was really helpful, even before…

Em va agradar Caroline was really helpful, even before our stay over email.
Kept very clean, the showers, toilets and daily bin emptying

El recomanaria als amics Hi tornaria a anar

Del gerent: Really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us, we just want everyone to have an enjoyable stay with us.
We do keep on top of the cleaning and bins, so much easier to clean when it's done regularly thoughout the day. It will be even better when our new toilet block opens this week.

Look forward to seeing you again soon.

Not a site we would rush back to unfortunately

Em va agradar Local walks into the village and across the hills were fantastic. Stunning scenery.
Village has 3 pubs very welcoming.
Owners have lots of maps for the local walks .

No em va agradar Pitches close together , felt on top of each other .
A lot of permanent pitch holders / residents.

El recomanaria als amics Hi tornaria a anar

Del gerent: We are really sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us, when you were here you gave the impression that you were enjoying your time.

I am very surprised at your other comments,
Your pitch had no one around you at all, as it was a single pitch under the trees, which we gave you so you had shelter for your dog, and was away from the children's area.

The pitches which were closer together were family groups, the rest of the site had the required spacing between pitches.

We do have a lot of returning visitors on site, who leave their caravan with us during the summer months but we do not have any residential pitches, we are a touring site only.

If you want a quiet site it may be an idea to not go to a family site during the busiest time of the year, the school summer holidays.

Friendly , quiet, beautifully maintained campsite.…

Em va agradar Friendly , quiet, beautifully maintained campsite. Basic facilities but impeccably clean. Helpful manager. Great location for what we needed.

No em va agradar Road next to campsite could be a little noisy and a little tricky to cross due to the speed.
Little confusion between staff on the final day regarding time needed to vacate pitch which made leaving a little hectic.

El recomanaria als amics Hi tornaria a anar

Del gerent: Thank you for your review, we are so pleased you had a good stay with us. We just want everyne to have a great time here.

The road canbe a little busy but unfortunately there is nothing we can do to slow the traffic down, it is only a C road but is better then the main A352 through Cerne Abbas.

Sorry about the leaving time confusion, we have a check out time of 12.00pm and also a check in time of 12.00pm so if someone is later leaving and someone else arrives early it can be a little tight. 12.00pm is usually enough time for most to pack up.

Look forward to seeing you again.

Llocs d'interès

If you have giggling kids along with you – and even if you don’t – a trip to the well-endowed and world-famed Cerne Abbas Giant is most visitors’ first stop, if only to buy a postcard (it’s been noted that postcards of the Giant are the only images of a naked man that can be sent via the Post Office). The man himself is now tended by the National Trust, which has a waymarked circular trail around the site from Cerne Abbas village. Dorchester is an excellent early stop for urbanites and heritage-heads: here you’ll find history-dedicated days out as varied as the Dinosaur Museum, Dorchester Museum, Teddy Bear Museum, Tutankhamen Exhibition and the Roman Amphitheatre; take the Durnovaria Town Walk for an outdoorsy overview of the city’s main sights. Thomas Hardy’s Cottage is at Dorchester too and the literary can book into their schedule the Thomas Hardy Trail, a six-mile circular walk within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Elsewhere around the area, take the enormous amount of things to see and do in your stride: from castles to dinosaurs, theme parks to heritage railways and historic houses to tank museums, the coast to countryside have whopping opps for days out (and in; dash to Dorchester’s West Dorset Leisure Centre on a rainy day when the kids need to let off steam). Historic houses and gardens like Kingston Lacy, Athelhampton House and Minterne House and Gardens should suit the sedately inclined, while the less sedate (hello kids) will no doubt prefer chattering at the likes of Monkey World in Wareham, Adventure Wonderland at Christchurch or Sea Life near Weymouth. Both sorts should have a tanking good time at Bovington’s Tank Museum, the second biggest collection of armoured vehicles on the planet. Head for the coast, half an hour's drive away, to fossil hunt or take a guided fossil tour at Lyme Regis or Charmouth; soak up sun and sights at seaside towns such as Weymouth, Swanage and Christchurch; float on a boat to the Channel Islands or potter around glorious Poole Harbour and epically beaut Brownsea Island, also managed by the National Trust. The award-winning Swanage Railway is a gently relaxed way to see some of the sights of Dorset (including Famous Five inspiration Corfe Castle) and holds regular events including driving experiences and special days for children.
