This is a peaceful, well-maintained campsite with spacious, level pitches.

A pleasant base with a great location and a friendly owner
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Great location, only a short drive from Weymouth, which makes it very convenient for exploring the area. The owner is friendly and welcoming, and the washing‑up area is well equipped with hot water, sponges, and washing liquid etc.
Disliked The facilities are quite basic. There are only two shower cabins, the water is barely warm with no way to adjust the temperature, and the shower head produces very sharp, needle‑like jets of water. The drainage is very poor: the tiny drain gets clogged easily, creating a puddle you end up standing in while showering.
Men’s toilets: 3 urinals + 1 cubicle.
Ladies’ toilets: 2 cubicles.
Functional, but very limited for a busy campsite.
The showers would benefit from improvements replacing the shower heads, fixing the drainage, and making the water hotter instead of slightly warm. The campsite allows dogs, but there are no strict rules about keeping them on a leash, and some dogs roam freely during both day and evening time, which can be uncomfortable for families with children who may be afraid. Adding a small children’s play area would make the experience even better.

From the manager: Thank you for your comments there are signs to keep dogs on a leash the showers I have all ways had high prase for them things they can get blocked from time to time with grass carried in and I am cleaning them many times a day all the very best regards Jim

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Great location, and facilities clean enough. Jim was lovely checked in on us morning and evening to make sure everything was ok - would definitely return.
Disliked Only niggle I have is it would have been good to have a bin by the washing up so if any food left in sink can throw it away straight away.

I'll go again with sister or on my own & leave pre-teen elsewhere!
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Flat, well kept, clean and tidy, hedged field. Close to clean, well stocked toilets, showers and wash up area with stand pipe for drinking water. Pitch where you like.
Attentive owner Jim(?) who helped me pitch up as granddaughter was unhelpful (nothing to do with the site just pre-teen and mood swings!). VERY reasonable price.
Disliked Leaving early due to pre-teen. Missing out on some camping days, Sea life, Weymouth and all it had to offer, eclipse, meteors etc!

From the manager: Thank you for my review it was so nice to meet you shame you had to leave early hope to see you very soon all the very best regards Jim

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked The place is in a quiet and pleasant area. The toilet and shower facilities were great. The owner checked on us from time to time to make sure everything was okay. It is also conveniently located near the town centre.
Disliked It would be helpful to have toilet cleaning liquid available in the toilet area, as well as a small food waste bin placed on the side.

From the manager: Thank you for my review thank you for your comments hope to sort out the food waste with contracters in very near future hope to see again regards Jim

Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Straight forward campsite with the essentials that you need (shower, toilet, washing up area).
Jim who runs the site is a real gent. Regularly on site to check that everything is ok, toilets and showers are clean and stocked up, and generally there to help those staying on site.
With the recent dry weather, Jim made the decision to ban firepits and BBQ's which is the right thing to do - last thing you need is a fire in a couple of fields full of campers.

From the manager: Thank you for my nice review pleased you had a nice stay thank you so much for the fire risk and all the campers to keep it as safe as possible as possible all the best regards Jim
