Liked: Beth the host was lovely and was so accommodating. Even lending us a bar b que one evening so we could cook. The site is basic but you have clean toilets and water on site. The bird song is lovely and it's a nice quiet peaceful site.
Disliked: The price of the logs was a bit dear but they were large logs and burnt very well. The wi fi wasn't great but we managed.

Liked: Really quiet. Huge field with camping around the edge...so lots of space. Clean toilets. Good communication and directions from owners.
Disliked: It was a bit expensive considering the lack of facilities, but many of the campsites round the area charge similar.

Liked: Great site with vast amounts of space. Right next to a beautiful forest. Extra special to hear the nightjars. This is proper camping. Compost loos are clean, and all you need. Friendly owners.

Liked: 1. The Space: Absolutely massive field, loads of space, limited numbers so doesn't feel crowded 2. Toilets: Compost toilets spread across the site 3. Location: Simple to find with the emailed directions, absolute silence at night apart from the wildlife, minimal light pollution, easy walking access direct to Wareham forest with miles of trails to explore 4. Firepits: Reasonably priced hire of firepits and purchase of logs delivered direct to your pitch 5. Owners: Friendly owners who come round daily to check everything is OK (and their dog became quick friends with ours)

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Quiet, low impact, nature, wildlife. There was plenty of space, huge field with pitches in select mowed areas. Most of the field is left to grow as a meadow with many wildflowers and butterflies. It was quiet, couldn't hear traffic at night, just the nightjar chirring at dusk and the bird morning chorus. Only facilities are two water taps and multiple compositing toilets (bring own paper). As close to wild camping as you can get but with the important facilities and no chance of being asked to move on (as long as you have paid !) Friendly and helpful owners. It's within walking distance of nature reserves including the Morden Bog (ten mile round trip).
Disliked: Difficult to find the water taps. A sketch-map at the entrance would have been useful.
