Liked: The location is fantastic! From the site there are stunning walks round the cliffs and Portland Bill. It’s really well organised and the information given was great. The staff were really friendly. The showers were clean and warm. There was a hit for drinks and food. Even a tent for massages. Pitches were spacious
Disliked: If you don’t like compost toilets and you don’t have your own option then this site is not for you. They were unpleasant but tolerable

Liked: Lovely location. Nice and unpretentious camping. Level fields and plenty of room weekday out of high season.
Disliked: Not really to do with the site but as I am disabled I found the western paths leading to the coast away from the site are very rutted and worn and not suitable for my mobility scooter unfortunately so I couldn't get to The Bill.

Liked: Beautiful view of the sea, warm showers.
Disliked: A bit noisy with people up chatting and drinking until near midnight, even though the guidance said quiet after 10 so we didn’t sleep easily.
