Liked We stayed here for 2 nights over the bank holiday weekend and really enjoyed our stay. The campsite has a very chilled, relaxed vibe and friendly owners who take their time to tell you everything you need to know. The welcome gift of a bag of marshmallows to toast on the camp fires provided was very thoughtful. They also offer wood for £5 for a generous amount.
Facilities very clean with warm water.
Our son loved the tyre swing and the playground but there is also lots of space for kids to run around and play. We would definitely stay here again when exploring this part of Dorset.

Lovely place - we will be back.
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked The site - small fields separated by hedges and fences. The clean, hot showers. Peaceful easy going site. Campfires. Enough space. Quiet nights. The coast is very nearby. The site is next to cycle and hiking routes. Terry and April, who are relaxed hosts, who work hard at keeping the campsite a beautiful place for their two and four legged visitors.

You will not be disappointed!
Bell tent
Liked Everything! A lovely friendly welcome. All you need from a site. Good quality, clean shower and toilet facilities. Spacious and clean area to wash up those pots and pans. Numerous fresh water points to fill the kettle and have a brew. A beautiful, quiet setting to relax in. Lots of outdoor toys and equipment for the kids to use, and a play park for them to burn off some energy. Delicious and affordable food on site morning and evening from the brilliant Jurassic Pork!
This is our second visit, and we will be back.
