Liked: We stayed here for 2 nights and couldnt find a fault. Really freindly, welcoming hosts. Extreemly accomadating. Kate & her mum took the time out to show our chilldren all the farm animals that take amazing care of. We had our puppy with us for the first time camping and it went so well. Thr facilities on site for camping was clean & tidy. Easily accsesiable. There is a lovely evening vibe with live music around the fire all lit up nicely & very child freindly. Overall- a perfect little find & will definatly go back. Thanks the view campsite, we all had a fab time :) 10/10!

Liked: Cathy and Kate were both so lovely and welcoming Cathy gave us a short tour of the campsite when we arrived so we knew everything that was available to us. The shower and flushing toilets were good and we enjoyed the use of a fire pit during our weekend. Good atmosphere and views. Would stay again and recommend to others. 👍🏻✈️ thanks for having us.
Disliked: Not a huge amount of pitch space to choose from but this could be due to it being the bank holiday weekend. Our pitch was on a slope so we were sliding down our bed at night 😂

Liked: Quiet peaceful back to nature, relaxing campsite with spacious pitches and lovely panoramic views. The owners were very welcoming, friendly and had a chat with us each day to ensure we were having a good vacation. There were a few sheep and chickens on site which really made us feel away from London. Showers and toilets always clean, rustic style. There was a lovely communal area where on the weekends they have live music. We will be back again to experience that. Great location for exploring Dorset!

Liked: Great friendly site with greasy hosts who will go out of their way to make sure that your stay is fantastic, evening around the fire with everyone joining in with music and food was way out of the norm but VERY well received. Will definitely be back!
Disliked: Only let down was the toilets and shower block was a little spread out, apart from that good all around!
