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 😂

The View Meadows non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

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!

Bell tent

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!

Route directions

If using a satnav, please use the postcode BH16 6DP. It is recommended that you come in from the A35 rather than through Lytchett Matravers, as this is much easier and faster. Turn off the A35 signposted Lytchett Matravers/Tea Room/French Furniture, into Wareham Road, then take the first left into Halls Road, carry on down the hill and turn right up Middle Road. Look for The View Camping sign on your right. The High Meadow pitches are accessible from Halls Road and the South Field pitches from Middle Road.

Local attractions

Within a short drive is the stunning RSPB nature reserve at Arne peninsula (15 minutes). Famous Jurassic Coast sites like Lulworth Cove (30 minutes), Studland Bay (30 minutes) and Durdle Door (30 minutes) are within easy reach too, as are historic Corfe Castle (30 minutes) and Chesil Beach (35 minutes). Poole Harbour (15 minutes) and award-winning Bournemouth and Swanage beaches (20 minutes) are all within an easy drive too. Exciting activities are available for those wishing to explore – Sandbanks (15 minutes), Wareham (15 minutes) and Wimborne (15 minutes) have boat or kayak hire, allowing you to ride the waves or float down scenic rivers. Children, meanwhile, will be captivated by mischievous monkeys at nearby Monkey World (as seen on TV; 15 minutes). On the doorstep of the campsite is award-winning Farmer Palmer’s (five minutes), an adventure farm, while those who want a lively atmosphere have bowling, entertainment, restaurants and a cinema 15 minutes away at Tower Park. Boat trips leave Poole (15 minutes) to see bird colonies or can take you over to Brownsea Island, where there are plenty of tempting spots for a picnic and rare red squirrels. The South West Coast Path also starts (or finishes) in Poole. It's 630 miles all in, and the clearly marked trail will sort you out with ample opportunities to take in fine views and spot wildlife. The seven-mile stretch between Poole and Swanage is an attractive option and can comfortably be done in a day if you take the ferry past Old Harry Rocks on your return leg.
