What customers say
This is a peaceful, spacious campsite with beautiful views, particularly of Corfe Castle from the top field. Visitors praise the clean and adequate facilities, including hot showers and flushing toilets. The location is excellent for exploring the Purbecks, with easy access to Corfe Castle and Swanage, and a bus stop conveniently located outside the site. Many reviewers mention the freedom to choose pitches, the quiet atmosphere, and the friendly owners. Some noted occasional issues with shower water temperature and the availability of hot water for washing up, along with the terrain being hilly in places. Managers have addressed feedback regarding facilities, including the addition of a freezer and improvements to toilet and shower areas.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Loved the amount of space and how quiet the site was. Facilities were clean and the coast is a short, easy drive away.
Disliked If the focus is on a family site then perhaps a bigger playground?

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked The scenery, the size of the field, the fact that you can pitch at your choosing & the showers for the adequate size and ease of being able to actually move around. Phone signal was good.
Disliked The suspension killing track to the field and when leaving.
The price is somewhat questionable compared to other sites we have stayed on that have offered far more in their facilities.
Shower water temperature was cold ( good job it was a hot day ).
