Bell tent (four person)
Liked: We had a fantastic stay at blue pool. The facilities and nature reserve are amazing and having access to this throughout our stay was great. Our 2 year old loved the fairy walk and the playground. The campsite was private and peaceful and the amenities were as described (compost loos, sink, water tap, outdoor shower, fire pits, table and chairs ). The team were fantastic and David was really welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed and really easy to contact. The bell tents themselves were beautiful and really spacious. All in all we had a great stay and would definitely recommend!

Non-electric grass tent pitch (wild)
Liked: Perfect location for exploring Dorset! Corfe Castle, Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door & Monkey World all less than 15 minute drive away. The Blue Pool is stunning & a huge bonus that we got to explore with free entry while staying on site. Staff were all extremely friendly. Campsite was all you could ask for, clean, peaceful, well maintained, a haven for nature, especially the stunning fallow deer. Fresh water tap on site was a welcome bonus! The lack of electric, reception & wifi on the wild camping site was great for a digital detox! The long drop toilets were well equipped with toilet roll & hand sanitiser! The night sky was stunning with minimal light pollution making it a great location for stargazing which was one of the highlights of our trip! We will definitely be back to stay again.
Disliked: The only downer was the walk of shame through the posh bell tent sites to get to the wild site!!!! Haha!!

Non-electric grass tent pitch (wild)
Liked: Very private 3 compost loos Herd of deer for company each evening Buses to Lulworth Cove and Swanage
Disliked: For the price you don’t get much, one tap in field (no washing up place) and 3 shared compost loos. No place to charge devices or freeze ice blocks. Not really wild camping, just a spot in a field. Crossing the road for the bus stop is very dangerous
