What customers say
A friendly, welcoming campsite with exceptionally helpful staff and great value. Guests loved the attached pub's food & atmosphere. Spacious, level pitches, clean facilities. Great base for exploring. Some road noise & limited facilities during peak times.

Liked Friendly staff, location was good. It was not busy when we stayed, however can imagine there would be a queue for the toilets and showers if it was busy.
Disliked The road was quite noisy.

Convenient, suitable for everyone. Reasonable price Excellent location
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Very friendly staff. Arrival was straight for wed, checkin inside the pub or call the number of pub is closed!
Breakfast available 8-9.45 sets you up for the day!
Easy little walk in to the adjacent public park where we could play cricket, football and use the public playground with the little ones when the site was busy during the weekend so we didn’t disturb other people and large group of adults in vans.
Very reasonable price compared to other sites at this time of year, toilets, showers and one washing up sink available.
Very easy driving access to lulworth and durdle door just 8minutes down the road and easy access to Weymouth too.
Dobbie’s two minute drive and chip shop in Wool if required.
Large menu and food was decent.
Summer holidays kids meals are all £1 (instead of £9.95 and bought with an adult meal)
Disliked Toilet was very very smelly when we arrived, not sure what was wrong and then second day one toilet and shower out of order.
While we understand the code for toilet and showers is likely necessary with the public footpath running through, but it’s slightly inconvenient that all the codes are different for each shower and each toilet…. Especially in the middle of the night and the solar lights weren’t working either!
Other than this we enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back because the pubs handy, and the location is ideal for our needs.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Absolutely brilliant site. Amazing owners and staff, so friendly and welcoming. Knowledgeable staff and so good with our family. Darren you was such a fun guy, the owners daughter and a female member of waiting staff was amazing during our stay, nothing to big or small to do for us, thank you so much, so very kind of you. Facilities were clean and well maintained at all times, day and night. Safe and secure site. Children catered for 100% with play area, playing field and area for children inside too which made all the difference. Food was worth every penny absolutely gorgeous with generous portions and lots of flavour.
Disliked Absolutely nothing!
