The Railway Campsite

Der er aktuelt ingen ledige pladser på Pitchup.com 9.5 154 anmeldelser

If you’ve got little train enthusiasts in your family (or large ones, for that matter…), this is a site that’s likely to please them very much indeed. As the name suggests, The Railway Campsite is located next to the railway – and none other than the famed Swanage Railway. Waving at the steam trains as they puff past is a popular pastime around this dog-friendly site – although there are also some great Dorset countryside views for when there’s no railway action, plus lots of space around the eight-acre open field for whatever you choose to focus your attention on. And presumably you’ll want to take a ride on one of those trains too? That’s easily done, since Harmans Cross station is just next door to the site. All you have to do is choose whether to journey up to Corfe Castle or over to Swanage for a day at the beach (both about 15 minutes by train). When you’re not riding the rails, you can get out to some great coastal corners, including Studland Beach, Kimmeridge Bay or Dancing Ledge – all are within a 20-minute drive. This is a back-to-basics site, but it does have wooden composting toilets, a shower hut and chemical disposal facilities. Off-ground barbecues and firepits are allowed, so you’re welcome to have a go at making your own dinner. You can source provisions at the small supermarket in the village of Harman’s Cross (five minutes’ walk).

Just before sunrise on my way back from a lovely hot shower

You can buy logs and kindling which come with a firepit - great for the kids, and then the adults.

Toasting marshmallows for the first time

Night time views were out of this world skies were so clear the stars were shining bright

View from the top of the field at the far end

View from the food shack that also conveniently sells wine haha

Areal til telt eller til trailer-telt med græs uden elektricitet

Syntes om: Would highly recommend, great campsite, lovely snack shack that was open from 5pm-10pm and then again at 8:30am in the morning. The train was great to watch and didn’t run through the night so didn’t affect our sleep. The showers were warm and there was so much space for the kids to play, with rope swings in the forest area. There is a village park 2 mins away from the campsite.

Syntes ikke om: Absolutely nothing, really great campsite!

Areal til telt eller til trailer-telt med græs uden elektricitet

Syntes om: We loved how simple but great our stay was. The site is on hill, it's large and unmarked pitched that let you chose what's best for you and your stat.
Toilets are clean and all "natural" along with showers and hot water.
We loved how peaceful it was and how amazing with passing trains.
The location is 10/10 as you have playground nearby and station to board diesel and steam train.
All is very accessible and convenient!
We loved it!
We will be back !

Syntes ikke om: Nothing ! It was all amazing

Syntes om: Choosing my own pitch, cleanliness of the toilets and showers, the snack shack, late departure time, closeness to the railway line.

Syntes ikke om: Slight smell in the toilets but it was the end of the season. Inability of some men to read the signs about how to use the toilets.

Areal til telt eller til trailer-telt med græs uden elektricitet

Syntes om: Fantastic site. Spacious
Friendly owners and their dogs.
Eco toilets which were cleaned at least 6 times a day.
Amazing views to watch the Steam train go by, watch the sunset, sunrise and star gazing.
Listening to the wildlife night & day.
Will be booking again for next year!

Syntes ikke om: Only a little dislike...
Would have been good to have the sawdust in each cubicle and not outside so it's not obvious you've had a number 2! 😁

Areal til telt eller til trailer-telt med græs uden elektricitet

Syntes om: The guy running it is such a laugh. Very friendly and there morning, noon and night maintaining the site and facilities.
Great mixture of friendly campers with many having fires in the evening burning some very nice scented cherry and apple logs.
Easy access to the site and right next to the heritage railway which makes it a bit special. Up on a hill so great views of the area.
I met some really nice people camping there. This was my second visit in two weeks and I would definitely go again.
Yes its basic, but that's reflected in the price.
My camping objective was hot showers, clean toilets and a washing up area, and that's exactly what I got, so very content with the facilities and over the moon with the price.

Syntes ikke om: I have to mention it as I have nothing else to say, but it's really not a dislike as such, just an initial selfish nark.
I came back after day one to find a family had pitched up quite close to my tent.
The field is massive and they could have pitched anywhere?
Anyway the lovely grandmother asked me if I had any matches as she had forgotten them. From then on we hit it off and her daughter and two grand children were very nice and friendly. The two young boys were quite funny and entertaining to listen to and incredibly well behaved and well spoken, so it actually turned out to be a good thing, and a holiday highlight.
Only used mobile data so can't comment on wifi.

Lokale seværdigheder

Famed for its ever-changing shades of blue and green, the Blue Pool (15 minutes’ drive) is surrounded by acres of heath- and woodland laced with trails. Take the easy path skirting the lake (where kids can also hunt for magic fairy doors), or steel yourself for a more challenging uphill route leading to views of the Purbeck Hills. Overlooked by the Georgian Clavell Tower, Kimmeridge Bay (20 minutes) is part of the Jurassic Coast. Rockpooling here may well yield some fossils; if not, you can head to the Etches Collection Museum, which displays fossilised marine creatures dating back millennia. The bay has clear waters for swimming and a summer snorkelling trail. Stay on the Jurassic Coast and move westwards to Durdle Door (35 minutes from the site), an iconic limestone arch stretching out into the sea. You can admire this imposing natural landmark from the dog-friendly beach or from the lookout point up on the cliff (easily reached via the South West Coast Path).
