Non-electric grass tent pitch (wild)
Liked: Perfect location for exploring Dorset! Corfe Castle, Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door & Monkey World all less than 15 minute drive away. The Blue Pool is stunning & a huge bonus that we got to explore with free entry while staying on site. Staff were all extremely friendly. Campsite was all you could ask for, clean, peaceful, well maintained, a haven for nature, especially the stunning fallow deer. Fresh water tap on site was a welcome bonus! The lack of electric, reception & wifi on the wild camping site was great for a digital detox! The long drop toilets were well equipped with toilet roll & hand sanitiser! The night sky was stunning with minimal light pollution making it a great location for stargazing which was one of the highlights of our trip! We will definitely be back to stay again.
Disliked: The only downer was the walk of shame through the posh bell tent sites to get to the wild site!!!! Haha!!

Liked: beautiful location, quiet, shared field with one other camper and a herd of deer. Staff were really nice, location excellent if a bit far from the blue pool. acccess to blue pool with price of camping,
Disliked: no phone signal so take that as positive or negative ... natural toilet facilities.. shame the blue pool facilities were only open to campsite during normal day opening.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (wild)
Liked: Very private 3 compost loos Herd of deer for company each evening Buses to Lulworth Cove and Swanage
Disliked: For the price you don’t get much, one tap in field (no washing up place) and 3 shared compost loos. No place to charge devices or freeze ice blocks. Not really wild camping, just a spot in a field. Crossing the road for the bus stop is very dangerous
