Farrs Meadow

A aimé : Solitude. 20 minute walk into Wimborne.

N'a pas aimé: Difficulty getting from car to camp site and back - muddy track (although grateful for the lift up to camping area with my stuff). The compost loos were really hard to find - had to ask other campers as they aren't obvious. Water supply was from a hose by the car park, not a tap, so hard to control and had to lug water up hill - path not fit for a trolley. Place generally feels a bit run down and ramshackle. Seemed a bit pricey given the lack of facilities.

A aimé : Really beautiful spot on the edge of Wimborne. David was really accommodating with us arriving a little early to get to our friends wedding that we were attending near by, and was happy to drive our stuff up to the camping field (the last bit from the parking is pretty steep!) and seemed like an all round nice guy.

N'a pas aimé: No complaints!

A aimé : Location was amazing. Such a wonderful view from the bottom shepherds hut paddock. David, the host, was very kind enough to let us pitch our quick getaway tent in this field due to no other occupants and we were only staying onsite for a total of 12 hours.

Despite arriving about an hour later than planned, David was enthusiastic about our stay, chatted about why we were not cold having driven with the roof down on the car, talked to us a little bit about the amenities of the site and gave us the best tour he could give, considering it was pretty dark at that point.

Total credit to the campsite.

Camp fire was no issue, absolutely massive fire bowl already provided.

We got woken up by cockerel’s and hens. This isn’t a complaint. They woke us up by surrounding the tent like an angry gang of clueless birds. We accidentally left a box of 5 chicken selects which one particularly hefty guy with dark brown, almost black bits, scoffed down in record time. I’m sorry David! This wasn’t an intentional attempt at the plucky rooster to engage in mild cannibalism I swear!

David invited us to return any time we like. We’re in the area very frequently so as time and weather allows, this may well become a regular place to bed down in peace and quiet for the night.

It has no WiFi, but, who cares. This is a site to switch off from it.

N'a pas aimé: That’s easy! The driveway from the main road (itself a pain in the… yep) is basically unstable surfaces meets steep bits meets random deep idents in the surface. It’s pretty winding too. Rear wheel drivers beware, you’ll want less torque more traction for this bad boy. Slow and steady will win that race. I can imagine it changes during rainfalls too. Just something to bear in mind.

N'a pas aimé: Facilities basic, no access for cars to site so reliant on site transport (which was timely and effective).

Love the fact that you are so close to nature even when you are using the facilities ;-)
