Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The campsite was well maintained, clean toilets & showers. A short walk took us straight into Corfe Castle where we spent the day. Loved the fire-pit in the evening too.
Disliked: The grass field was a little long underfoot but would not stop me going again.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The campsite is the way camping was before "glamping". The site is an undulating slope with basic facilities at one end of the field. The showers were hot, washing facilities are cold and buckets are provided to get water to your tent if you, like I did, have pitched at the far end of the site, for the best views. Yes there was loud-ish music, which was a shame.
Disliked: Only one fresh water tap at the bottom of the site. Insufficient bins and the recycling became mixed with general waste as it all overflowed.

Liked: Lovely site. Nice warm showers and clean toilets. A friendly reception on arrival and a nice touch with the owner driving around in the evening selling logs for the fire. Corfe Castle, Swanage, Studland and Arne all super close. A hilly site, but with lots of flat areas. Can imagine it is a bit sticky when very wet and we saw the tractor drag a couple of vehicles out of a muddy spot. Will definitely be back to this gorgeous site!

Liked: Fantastic location, nice walk to Corfe Castle, good facilities.
Disliked: Despite the signs there was some music from a neighbouring pitch, however there was good separation between us and thankfully they did not keep it on late.
