  • 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. For pizza, there's a takeaway in Wareham that can deliver handmade Neapolitan-style pizzas directly to the site.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Can’t thank Christina enough for such a wonderful visit. She is the most thoughtful of hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. The facilities are excellent: rustic; impeccably clean and with a constant supply of hot water. What more do you need! Plenty of space. Lovely shaded woodland adjacent to the plot to explore. Other campers were considerate. We’ll be back next year, that’s for sure!

Disliked Nothing.

Liked What an amazing host and campsite !! On arrival Christina's very warm and welcoming. She oriented us to facilities and other necessary information. We were very impressed with the warm showers , washing up facilities and of course the toilets. All very well kept. The site is within close proximity to a petrol station and other important amenities that added to a hassle free time away from home . Special thanks Christina for being an amazing host.

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).
