Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Stayed for 4 days lovely quiet site, toilets and showers were nice and clean and nice hot water, small park for the kids, small shop on site for essentials ( never used it so not sure of prices) they had Wi-Fi but never used it as good 4g service and a barn with some games in ( ping pong, air hockey and a pool table ) site set in the rolling hills with lovely views/ sunsets about 15 mins from weymouth. Pitches were good size ( we had air 6 tent with porch and separate gazebo and still had plenty of room and site had wooden benches for each pitch which was handy

Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Lovely little camp site. Owners were really helpful and assisted two seperate bookings being pitched next to each other. Great location as near several beaches.
Disliked Some slight issues with toilets not flushing and low water pressure but just meant queuing for the remaining toilets a little. Toilet roll holders had a tendency to loose toilet roll inside them so advise take a roll just incase.

Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Great campsite!
This was our second time visiting, we come as a large group and the staff are always great at keeping us all together (we give them a heads up aswell!)
The two staff on site are so helpful and friendly!
Park for the kiddies and plenty of space to run around.
Great little shop with all the basics and anything you might have forgotten! And lots of sweet treats!
Food truck on a Saturday to save you from any more sausages and burgers!

Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Lovely site, really friendly owners. Pitch was great and big, playground for the kids and loads of room to run around. We had a great time.
Disliked Only grumble would be the facilities, they felt cramped at times when really busy, but otherwise they were nice

Lovely farm site with clean facilities and really nice staff.
Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Nice site and lovely staff. Pitches were fairly level and they let you pick where you want to go with most pitches having electric. Amazing little farm shop with so much more than the essentials, including lots of local items. Games room for the kids is fab as is playground, also useful they had fridge open to use and a freezer for ice packs. Toilets and showers were clean. Only 12minutes from Weymouth beach, plus close to supermarkets. Quiet and beautiful views over surrounding farm land.
Disliked Toilets and showers are clean but the showers due to the nature of the set up did have a bit of a sewage smell (it was also hot). Didn’t affect the site but just made you take a quick shower.

Would definitely return.
Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Excellent site. Friendly hosts, clean toilets and showers and plenty of them. Great washing up area and freezer for ice packs was very handy. Lots of room and lovely views. Good little shop and a kids play area.
Disliked Shame they didn’t have fire pits for hire, but they did sell some for £20 which was very useful.
