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.

Liked: Travelled as single person with young grandchild- no listing choice for that. Liked the spacious pitches. Walking distance to Corfe Castle and village and good bus route to Swanage just outside the site.
Disliked: Noise from a party that arrived on the last night, no fault of the site though.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Friendly and responsive staff; nice location; space for kids to play; quiet evenings and nights; cycle of bird life through the day, owls, crows, gulls, martins, wagtails and more; clean toilets and hot showers. It seems each show has its own boiler and gas supply, so no problems with heated water running out for the day.
Disliked: Some maintenance required for sink units and shower units. Whilst the corrugated board and timber toilet and shower blocks seem fitting for a field that might get mucky, they are not conducive to the cleanliness that, say, tiled walls and floors are amenable to. Public footpath a potential security issue, I had one pair seem to check out our tent one evening, so camp away from the footpath if this is a concern. Some smells from, presumably, the nearby sewage works, but nothing bothersome.

Liked: We loved! The farm is nice, quiet, very good for families with children who like to play free. They sell firewood for £5 for bonfires. Very close to the beach and a very interesting historical village that was a shelter for soldiers in the war. There are many trails to the castle, the people of the village are very friendly. The camping farm is between the village and the beach. It has an incredible view of the castle with a beautiful sunset. As it is far from large centres you can see many stars. It's beautiful! Friendly staff!

Liked: The site was great for what we needed; loads of space, lovely views, toilets, hot showers and really easy to get into Corfe Castle and Swanage. We forgot our fire pit but they came round with logs in the evening and had fire pits to rent for £5 which was perfect. We might have walked the wrong way but I think the station is a bit more than a 5 minute walk. It is however very easily accessible on foot or there is a bus stop right outside the site so no need to drive if you don’t want you.
