What customers say

This cosy, well-kept spot offers a chill rural escape near Weymouth. Campers love the friendly hosts, roomy sites, and clean amenities. It's basic but folks dig the simplicity. A few more showers/toilets would be grand, and some mention a shower fee. Still, most keen to come back.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Basic no frills campsite.
Owners are lovely,
Beautiful views.
Plenty of space for the kids to play.
Close to sea front/ shops ect.
Fishing lakes next door.

Disliked £2 per shower is quite steep,

There is only one shower / one toilet (separate) - for us personally it was a bit of a faff with young children.

Local attractions

The marina in Weymouth (10 minutes’ drive) is a top spot for an alfresco fish-and-chips meal by the water. From the harbour it’s also possible to charter a boat for a fishing expedition … or you can simply stroll up to the Stone Pier and cast your line there. North-east of the town, SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth has an ocean tunnel, as well as rockpools. An 18-mile long expanse of shingle, Chesil Beach (10 minutes) protects the brackish Fleet lagoons, where you might spot birds such as egrets and geese. At the westernmost end of the lagoon is the Abbotsbury Swannery, a sanctuary for mute swans. In Dorchester (20 minutes), the Dorset Museum & Art Gallery displays archaeological items, plus artifacts relating to local history and traditions, such as a wooden, horned Ooser mask. Meanwhile, bookworms go on a pilgrimage to National Trust - Hardy's House Max Gate, which the author of ‘Tess of the d’Urbervilles’ designed and where he lived until his death in 1928.
