Liked: Everything you need for basic camp. Field was well kept and plenty of space. Clean flushing toilets and hot showers. Friendly owners. Dogs allowed. 20min walk up hill into Shaftesbury. There happened to be a lovely local market in the town hall which is on once a month, stall holders were super friendly. Will definitely go back.

Liked: Beautiful place, really great views from the campsite. Would come back here and especially for the surroundings.Was a great location and allowed fires. Campsite is a good size and toilet block on site. Only a short walk up the public footpath and your in Shaftesbury. Washing up facilities. You can buy wood on site. We even saw the local peacocks that came to visit us! Very cool
Disliked: More peacocks!
