Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: The site, the pitch size, the shower block, the space

Disliked: The cafe is usually shut Tuesday and Wednesday so a friend and I planned a quick break Monday-Tuesday. Lunch to be at the cafe with coffee and cold drinks, so this was how we catered. On arrival, cafe closed all day Monday for first aid training. An update had been put on FB page for the cafe but nothing for campers. Luckily we were able to buy a couple cold drinks but no food. Just for info, if cafe is closed also update the campsite FB page. We weren't the only ones caught out

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Beautiful site, flat and open with well defined pitches. Did not feel squished in at all.
The facilities were lovely and adequate in number for the size of the site.

The warden was fantastic, a real credit to the site, one of the most approachable and friendly we've come across anywhere in Europe.

The lake, cafe and general surroundings are stunning. The lake is clear, clean and fresh - perfect for the kids.

Just to note, minimal phone signal on most networks.

Liked: Loved the relaxed family feel to the campsite. Very well kept, super shower block. The lake was a treat 😁. Great site for the whole family and your furry friends.

Disliked: Shower/ washing up water could have been hotter

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely setting in beautiful countryside. The lake and lakeside cafe were great too. There is a stream running from the site which our dog loved. Well marked walks to the pub and further afield. The wood burners and starry skies are a great selling point.

Disliked: The new toilet facilities looked great but lacked things like mirrors and running cold water. They were clean but the smaller block nearer the cafe were not cleaned in the time we were there. Toilet paper on the floor after 24 hours isn’t acceptable. Unfortunately the toilets and showers here are used by the day trippers as well as campers. Think this needs to be more clearly defined.

Liked: Level grass pitches with plenty of space, even at the weekend. Clean facilities. Excellent cafe and just a few minutes walk along a dedicated footpath to a friendly local pub. We'll be back, again!

Local attractions

Need a tipple to top off your evening by the lake? Take a 10-minute walk along to the village’s very own vineyard, Bride Valley Vineyard, for tours, tastings and a bottle or two to sip while the sun goes down. (If you’re more of a beer drinker, you’ll need to take the 15-minute drive to Palmers Brewery, which also runs excellent tours.) Time for the beach? Take your pick from the scenic offerings of West Bay and Burton Bradstock (both 15 minutes’ drive) and the 18-mile shingle stretch at Chesil Beach (half an hour), or head off to Weymouth (half an hour) to see the Sandworld sand sculptures and ogle the underwater beasts at the Sea Life Centre. Away from the coast, top days out might take you to Abbotsbury Swannery and gardens (20 minutes) or to explore the Teddy Bear Museum, Dinosaur Museum and Maiden Castle Iron Age fort in Dorchester (half an hour).
