  • Quiet, family-friendly and rural site in a wildlife haven
  • Just outside the Dorset National Landscape, with countryside views
  • Firepits for guests' use and two large barbecues available to hire
Your 'darling buds' should blossom at Primrose Fields in Dorset. This small and friendly site is just a five-minute drive from Wareham, the ape rescue centre Monkey World and The Tank Museum in Bovington. Spectacular Lulworth Cove on the Jurassic Coast is also only a 15-minute drive away. There are great walking and cycling routes from the site, such as the Frome Valley trail, the Hardy Way and National Cycle Route 2. Make the most of starry nights and campfires on the peaceful wildflower meadow, which has views of Dorset heathland. Set up base by venerable oak trees and let the children play on the rope swing or chase butterflies. There are wild surroundings, but with the comfort of clean and well-maintained facilities. Pitches at Primrose Fields aren't set, so you can make your camp anywhere in the wildlife meadow, picking a spot by the forest or one with heathland views. Most of the field is flat for easy pitching. Walkers, cyclists, watersporters, couples, families and kids are all welcome on site. Campfires are allowed within firepits, with sustainably sourced wood and charcoal available to buy. Firepits and large barbecues are available for use on site. For food and supplies, nearby Wareham has a good selection of shops, cafés and pubs. A café and farm shop are about a mile away. A pizza van is also open on site on Fridays only, from 5.30pm to 8pm.

What customers say

This campsite is highly praised for its spacious, flat pitches, friendly and helpful hosts, and beautiful forest setting. Guests enjoyed the clean portable toilets and showers with hot water, good recycling facilities, and the freedom to pitch where they like. Its excellent location offers easy access to local attractions and coastal walks. While some found the portable toilets less desirable, most felt they were well-maintained and clean. Occasional road noise and, in very wet conditions, boggy ground were noted.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked This was a great campsite. It has basic facilities but exactly what we were expecting. Everything was clean and staff were welcoming and friendly. It was a busy campsite with a mix of campers (families, couples, groups, etc) and the site was quiet between after 11 pm.
The site offers fireplaces and wood for those that want to rent one.
I definitely recommend this site and look forward to returning.

Liked The field - gorgeous wild flowers
The woods and the easy access
The fire pits - great recycling and worked well

Disliked Unfortunately whilst the majority of people were quiet after 11 not everyone respected that and we had various noisy neighbours into the earl hours.

Liked It was a perfect bank holiday! I was welcomed With a warm and friendly manner. And advice of facilities were explained.
It is a large site that accommodates many people with space between pitches.
The showers were well maintained, cleaned multiple tiimes throughout the day.
I had a great stay for a reasonable cost and would recommend it.
Thankyou 😊

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Such a lovely, welcoming site. The owners are around on site, ready to help with any problems if needed. Family and dog friendly with great access directly into the forest for walks and exploring. Basic facilities with portaloos and showers but really well kept, clean and thoughtfully laid out with plenty of space. Looking forward to our next visit.

Route directions

Primrose Fields is the second gate on the left-hand side up Primrose Farm Lane, which is 50 yards to the east of the Black Dog Inn off the A352 between Wareham and Wool. By train: Waterloo-Weymouth train to nearby Wool or Wareham, then take the bus to the site (see below). It's possible to cycle/hike from the train stations; please use Bindon Lane/Holme Lane (not the A352) for a safer and more scenic journey. By bus: Jurassic Breezer/Coaster buses stop at the Church Lane/A352 junction, approximately a 10-minute walk on pavements and footpaths.

Local attractions

There's lots to do around this site without even firing up the car engine: the Frome Valley Trail is close at hand and quiet country lanes are just the ticket for gentle cycling. There are excellent Jurassic Breezer/Coaster bus services from the Church Lane/A352 junction (around 10 minutes' walk); ride the bus to Wareham, Lulworth Cove, Swanage or Weymouth (perhaps for the Weymouth to Swanage section of the South West Coast Path). Take a picnic or a catch of local fish and chips down to the grassy riverbank opposite the quay in Wareham (five minutes' drive) or wander around the town's Saxon defence walls. Another good walk is the Two Rivers route down to the backwaters of Poole Harbour, but if you’d rather get out on the water than look at it, hire a canoe, kayak or paddleboard for lazy drifting up the Frome. If you do decide to drive, the beaches, countryside and attractions of Purbeck and West Dorset are a short distance away. Other splendid spots are the RSPB Arne nature reserve (15 minutes), old Corfe Castle (10 minutes) and a steam train from the castle surrounds to the seaside resort of Swanage. North of Swanage is the sandy National Trust-managed Studland Bay (20 minutes).
