  • Càmping rural de Dorset a 13 km de Dorchester i a uns 25 de la costa
  • Camins per buscar tresors i pel camp a pocs passos
  • A poc més d'1,5 km de tres pubs, una sala de te i una botiga
Warning! A trip to ancient Cerne Abbas may leave you with a mammoth yearning never to leave: the Dorset village has been described as the ‘Britain’s most desirable village’ to live among the UK’s scenic many. It’s eight miles from Dorchester, within day-tripping distance of the Jurassic Coast and, most famously, is where the 180ft Cerne Abbas Giant doth dwell high up on the hillside. (Yes, the naughty giant with no sense of shyness.) Around a 40-minute stroll from Cerne Abbas is the mightily convenient Giants Head Caravan & Camping Park, a family- and dog-friendly site over three and a half acres with grassy pitches, immense views over the Dorset countryside and thumping good access to the best of Dorset. Countryside walks, as well as treasure trails, literally start within steps of the pitches: Giants Head has several planned walks straight from the park, and runs Treasure Trails Dorset directly from it so intrepid guests can pick up one or two of the 50+ trail packs and take off on the hunt for hidden gems. Sounds like a towering amount of fun… As befits its location, everything at Giants Head is kept nicely natural – think mature trees, hedgerows and trim lawns; and the level or gently sloping pitches are variously secluded, shady or open (there’s also a special tail-wagging area for campers with canines). All parts of the park are well-drained and a hard road leads to pitches. Amenities include showers, hand basins, laundry and washing-up areas; the park doesn’t have a shop, but a well-stocked village store, a tearoom and three pubs are in Cerne Abbas, a mile and a quarter away.

Què opinen els clients

Elogiat per amfitrions amigables i servicials, amb vistes impressionants al camp i ambient pacífic. Ben situat per explorar, amb dutxes netes, tot i que algunes instal·lacions són antigues. Places desiguals i prop d'una carretera sorollosa, però espai generós i benvinguda general.

Em va agradar Local walks into the village and across the hills were fantastic. Stunning scenery.
Village has 3 pubs very welcoming.
Owners have lots of maps for the local walks .

No em va agradar Pitches close together , felt on top of each other .
A lot of permanent pitch holders / residents.

El recomanaria als amics Hi tornaria a anar

Del gerent: We are really sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us, when you were here you gave the impression that you were enjoying your time.

I am very surprised at your other comments,
Your pitch had no one around you at all, as it was a single pitch under the trees, which we gave you so you had shelter for your dog, and was away from the children's area.

The pitches which were closer together were family groups, the rest of the site had the required spacing between pitches.

We do have a lot of returning visitors on site, who leave their caravan with us during the summer months but we do not have any residential pitches, we are a touring site only.

If you want a quiet site it may be an idea to not go to a family site during the busiest time of the year, the school summer holidays.

Would book again

No em va agradar Sites a bit haphazard amenities not so good but they are in the process of upgrading

Del gerent: So pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.

Sorry about the 'haphazard amenities', but we are just at the final stages of refurbing our toilet block. Unfortunately it has taken a little longer than it should have done - had a bit of a delay with the original builders......

Look forward ro seeing you again soon.

Friendly welcome , well sign posted in the road.

Em va agradar Owner was very friendly...
Ice cream van that visited.

No em va agradar Un-level pitch
un- clean and wet floored showers
wires all over the field.
Having to change £1 coins into old £1 coins from the office, get a key to use the laundry room, then having to return it once the wash was finished.

El recomanaria als amics Hi tornaria a anar

Del gerent: We are very surprised to see your comments. You gave the impression that you were happy on site, you only had to speak to us if you were not.

We did give you a choice of pitches but you seemed to be happy with your pitch close to trees where you could put up your radio mast, if it wasn't suitable you only had to say.

Our showers are cleaned regularly during the day, but you cannot expect us to stand outside and dry the floor every time the shower is used. We have had several other comments this week saying how lovely our showers are.

I am sorry you had to come and change £1 coins for our £1 tokens, I think you will find most sites charge for their laundry. The reason we issue a key so you can put your washing in and no one else will remove it, we have the odd complaint that washing has been taken out in the machine by someone else.

Would I stay again? Definately!

Em va agradar Small site surrounded by beautiful countryside and walks along the Wessex Ridgeway. Great location close enough to beaches. Owners are friendly. Good showers and clean toilets. Ice cream van came a few times in the week. Kelly's soft whip (what's not to like?).

No em va agradar Ground is full of flint so bring strong pegs and don't forget to pack a hammer.

El recomanaria als amics Hi tornaria a anar

Del gerent: We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us, the countryside around us is beautiful and is very peaceful with some great walks.

We try to make everyone welcome and try to make sure they have a great stay with us.

Our new toilet block will be up and running within the next two weeks, the mobile one is ok bu tour new block is lovely.

Ice cream is Jen's, she is amazing, great icecreams and very popular.

Tip for hard ground, pour a bit of water in then hit the pegs in, should go in a little easier.

Hopefully see you again soon.

Del gerent: Thank you for your review, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.

I apologise for the showers being cold, we do keep them at 43 degrees but it was a very busy Bank Holiday weekend so they could have cooled down a little. I have checked this morning and they are all hot. Thank you for letting me know.

Em va agradar Staff were very welcoming and could not do enough. Lots of information supplied. Toilets were clean and so were the showers. Bins emptied every couple of hours. Lovely views and a great place as a Base.

No em va agradar For us it was just to cramped and other people very close. We have used camping sites for many years and have never had limitations on what electricity we can use, although we told about this on arrival it would have benefited us to know before hand as this time of year we would have liked to use our heater.

El recomanaria als amics Hi tornaria a anar

Del gerent: We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.

We are sorry you found your neighbours a little close to you, they were the regulated distance away but I am aware they were a little noisy.

Most touring caravan sites either have 6, 10 or 16 amp available, we have
10 amp on the majority of our pitches, you will find that most sites do not permit high power items to be used, such as domestic kettles, electric fan heaters. We do occassionally have problems on site with these items.

The perfect campsite for a quiet stay due to smaller size, and…

Would/will come again
Really good for first time camping too

El recomanaria als amics Hi tornaria a anar

Del gerent: We are really pleased you had an enjoyable stay with us, we are a small site compared to some so we can offer a more personal service and make sure everyone has a great time.
We are in a good position, in the middle of Dorset and only an hour at most to anywhere in the county.
We look forward to seeing you agin soon.

toilets very old and great need of modernisation. Road busy and noisy.

Llocs d'interès

If you have giggling kids along with you – and even if you don’t – a trip to the well-endowed and world-famed Cerne Abbas Giant is most visitors’ first stop, if only to buy a postcard (it’s been noted that postcards of the Giant are the only images of a naked man that can be sent via the Post Office). The man himself is now tended by the National Trust, which has a waymarked circular trail around the site from Cerne Abbas village. Dorchester is an excellent early stop for urbanites and heritage-heads: here you’ll find history-dedicated days out as varied as the Dinosaur Museum, Dorchester Museum, Teddy Bear Museum, Tutankhamen Exhibition and the Roman Amphitheatre; take the Durnovaria Town Walk for an outdoorsy overview of the city’s main sights. Thomas Hardy’s Cottage is at Dorchester too and the literary can book into their schedule the Thomas Hardy Trail, a six-mile circular walk within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Elsewhere around the area, take the enormous amount of things to see and do in your stride: from castles to dinosaurs, theme parks to heritage railways and historic houses to tank museums, the coast to countryside have whopping opps for days out (and in; dash to Dorchester’s West Dorset Leisure Centre on a rainy day when the kids need to let off steam). Historic houses and gardens like Kingston Lacy, Athelhampton House and Minterne House and Gardens should suit the sedately inclined, while the less sedate (hello kids) will no doubt prefer chattering at the likes of Monkey World in Wareham, Adventure Wonderland at Christchurch or Sea Life near Weymouth. Both sorts should have a tanking good time at Bovington’s Tank Museum, the second biggest collection of armoured vehicles on the planet. Head for the coast, half an hour's drive away, to fossil hunt or take a guided fossil tour at Lyme Regis or Charmouth; soak up sun and sights at seaside towns such as Weymouth, Swanage and Christchurch; float on a boat to the Channel Islands or potter around glorious Poole Harbour and epically beaut Brownsea Island, also managed by the National Trust. The award-winning Swanage Railway is a gently relaxed way to see some of the sights of Dorset (including Famous Five inspiration Corfe Castle) and holds regular events including driving experiences and special days for children.
