Sweet Hill Farm

Liked: *The view and surrounding scenery; great walks, pubs and restaurants in situ (no chains!) and run by locals. Eight Kings pub did the best home cooked food and a 15 walk down from the farm. *Portland Bill is a small walk from the south west path. Stunning. *The facilities were decent, all outdoor (compost toilet, token showers), all well maintained. On-site food and drink (summer only), I went in October so not open. Looked decent and has themed nights in the summer plus food! *Charlotte and the family on site were a blessing. My van broke down and they helped with towing, jump starting and storing the van overnight whilst awaiting recovery. She then rang to check I got back OK the following day. Which was sweet! *Lots of life on the farm; goats, pigs, horses and chickens - loved it! *Fire pit was available but I did not get chance to use due to poor weather. *Will be back in the summer!

Disliked: *I didn’t dislike anything; only the torrential rain and wind! The field was a bit boggy and there were plenty of puddles en-route to the site but that aside it drained well. *The site was being further developed when I was there (winter hours) but that did not put me off. Was glad to get away in such a stunning location. *The sat nav takes you to a different location near by.

Liked: The toilet facilities, i liked the fact they were eco friendly, beautiful views of the lighthouse from the field we stayed in.

Disliked: Not a dislike- and i think its an important thing to note- with the campsites lovely big dog Romeo, you should warn campsite stayers that are coming with dogs, that Romeo is there and isnt always on a lead, im ok with big dogs and we kept ours on a lead, but not everyone is OK with big dogs, Just something we thought about.

Liked: Was just perfect. Clean and tidy, amazing views, extremely helpful staff, horse riding and pretty much everything was spot on. Our favourite place we have visited. Made friends with Salty and Dave the sheep who always came to say hello. Was just the getaway from it all we needed. Also great that the local fish and chip shop Salty Towers and papa johns pizza also deliver to the site too!

Disliked: Going home again!

Liked: views. Clean toilets Location to coastal paths Fantastic dark zone- stars were amazing Walkable climbing areas for adult son.

Disliked: No one on check in at 8pm- this was the latest check in online, and we raced to get there for 8pm. Did not really need check in, but finished work early to get there on time. Would have liked to have been able to buy wood. Hard to find in the dark!

Liked: Peaceful, rustic, quiet. Incredible views over the cliffs and ocean. You can see both lighthouses from everywhere on the camping field. Basic amenities all provided, sinks with hot water, compost toilets. There was also a food and hot drinks van near the entrance although we didn't investigate it. Horses and sheep all around the site was a nice bonus too. Had a great stay.

Disliked: It's definitely rustic! Dont pick this place if you want to glam camp. and be prepared for mud.

Liked: A really nice location with sea views, old stone walls, and farm animals in fields nearby. We could also see and walk the Lighthouse from where we were. The campsite is made up of several fields, and with no set pitches. Our group could choose where we wanted to set up our tents. Easy access to water, sinks for washing up, and compost toilets which usually had plenty of toilet roll. Hot showers available. Really nice people who checked us in. Breakfasts and coffees available to design from the checking in area. When it was raining hard and one of our vehicles broke down they allowed us to check out late. Great value for money.

Disliked: The hot showers were £1 for 3 minutes, which we had to buy tokens for. It makes sense that they would want stop people from over-using hot water but I think it would make better sense to provide very booking with a token included in the cost of the booking.

Liked: The location is fab, wonderful views and a nice walk to Portland Bill. The welcome was friendly, lots of choice where to pitch. The toilets were well maintained and the showers, although not free, were lovely. The whole atmosphere was perfect.

Liked: Sea View of Portland Bill and the Lighthouse. Various fields to camp in to choose from. Coastal path walks. Sunset over the sea. Peace and tranquility. White chocolate and raspberry cake + lemon drizzle cake from the food van. Modern new shower block with lovely hot showers for £1 = 3 minutes. Sculpture park not far. Ope cove beach not far. Places to explore. Pubs not far. Horse riding available. I really enjoyed our 3 night stay here and will return again in the future. 🌅🏕️
