Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Absolutely everything! Jim made us feel so welcome with his friendly warm nature. Location of the site was perfect as was close to everything we needed and wanted. Kids loved having so much free space to play and kick a ball around. Toilets and showers were clean and presentable. The grounds were level which made finding spot to pitch up very easy.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Such a well placed campsite and easy to access.
A very friendly site and its clear this site is the owners little baby.
The friendly owner walks around the site a couple of times a day making sure everyone is okay, which is really nice.
The site is about a 3 minute drive to a convenience store and pub.
Dorchester is only a 10 minute drive and weymouth is probably only around 20mimutes away.
Toilets and showers are lovely.
This is definitely my new Dorset favourite site.
Disliked Going back home

Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked The site had a very relaxed atmosphere. You can arrive and depart at any time and choose your own ‘pitch’, which all have great views. The toilets, showers and washing up areas were really well maintained, and Jim visited a couple of times a day to make sure everyone was OK. We would definitely recommend the site and go again.
