A peaceful, spacious campsite with consistently clean facilities, including hot, powerful showers. Guests rave about the friendly host, Jim, and appreciate the relaxed atmosphere, easy check-in, and beautiful rural surroundings. Great for exploring Dorset. Highly recommended.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Excellent site with clean facilities, large pitches and attentive host
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Absolutely gem of a campsite. Chalk Meadow is a peaceful, relaxed and friendly campsite, run by the incrediblely friendly Jim. We would visit the usual tourist hot spots during the day and then return to the tranquility of chalk meadow, which was the perfect combination. The site was brilliant for the children, safe to run around and they loved spotting the bats of an evening. We were even lucky enough to watch a barn owl hunt in one of the back fields. Jim is the perfect host, very attentive and nothing is too much hassle. It is obvious that he is very proud of his campsite, and so he should be! Thank you for the perfect holiday, we will see you again next year.
Disliked The fact that we couldn't stay longer!

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Absolutely everything! Jim made us feel so welcome with his friendly warm nature. Location of the site was perfect as was close to everything we needed and wanted. Kids loved having so much free space to play and kick a ball around. Toilets and showers were clean and presentable. The grounds were level which made finding spot to pitch up very easy.
Disliked Nothing! Nothing not to like

Very well managed. Not too many rules. Plenty of space. Good for dogs!
Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked Jim is very attentive with a hands-on relaxed approach & is regularly on-site ensuring that everyone is enjoying their visit. The facilities were always clean & well stocked with soap/hand towels/toilet rolls etc. Never far from water points or bins with plenty of both around the site. We had no trouble finding a level pitch for our campervan. Although we visited on a busy August weekend the site was quiet with plenty of space for all. Very good walk from the site through the Village to the White Horse about 6 miles in all. Further afield, Ringstead has a good beach with parking & cafe. From here we took a gentle stroll to the Smugglers Inn at Osmington Mill for an excellent lunch. Very enjoyable weekend! Would highly recommend & already planning a return visit. Thanks Jim it was great to meet you & have our chats over the opening weekend of the premier league!

Great clean campsite, very friendly , kind, caring owner
Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked Owner was amazing! The sweetest guy ever , I arrived very late to the site and he then came and checked I got there safely and was in a good spot, every morning and evening he individually came round to evrry guest making sure they had a good day, had everything they need and are OK and happy. Even help fix my boot when the lock got stuck along with other camper their. Great site with very clean toilets, couldn't speak on the showers as never used them . Would highly recommend, will definitely be returning
Disliked Nothing, was slightly hard to find however it was pitch black, and the sign was also black and set back off the road slightly , however in a very old vehicle with not so good lights, in a 'normal ' vehicle would have no problems finding it , but that being said I rang the owner when lost and he helped me find it instantly so there was no worries there

Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked The perfect site to explore the Jurassic Coast. Chalk Meadow was spacious and well looked after, the facilities were very clean and there were some incredible beaches only a 15/20min drive away. Jim was a wonderful host who took great care of all his guests and went out of his way to ensure we had a lovely stay. We’ll definitely be back!
