Charisworth Farm

The friendly staff, the campsite field, the farm animals for the kids to meet, the view, the peacefulness, the Friday night bbq and bar, the clean toilets and showers

The setting is stunning, with incredible sprawling wheat fields and cows grazing on the grass behind the site. My brother and I had a perfect pitch with 2 bell tents next to some trees so the 4 kids (3,4,5,6) could chuck up their survival kit tarp. So much space for them to run around including a big area with hay bails and make shift tables which we used to feed them brekkie and supper. The bell tents were brand new and immaculate, with a couple air mattresses ready for us upon arrival. Richard, was very helpful and accommodating pre, during & post-stay (had to ask him to go check whether we’d left an i-pad in one of the tents!). Richards family were on site on the Friday night too, who were lovely and were gathered around the huge firepit next where others from the site were hanging out. We saw the sheep, pigs, cows, horses and chickens, so definitely ticked a big box for the little ones! Very peaceful site, with vast gap between each pitch. Being in the middle of nowhere, there was very little light pollution so full moon and stars were impressive! Loos were easily accessible, clean and always stocked with loorolls. Running water tap was close enough and there were showers but we didn’t get around to using them. We were back and forward to Studland beach all 3 days and the drive was simple enough. All in all, an absolutely perfect long weekend in a genuinely hidden gem of a campsite.

I can’t think of anything as we’d brought everything we needed. Maybe only thing is the traffic down to the coast around Corfe Castle but, being new to that area, I wasn’t aware of the right times to avoid that build-up

Facilities, scenery, lovely setting, Friday bar night with campfire

Nothing

Fantastic location on farm with views across Dorset countryside
Richard is very friendly and helpful.
Firepits and Barbecues available
Hot showers were a bonus
Hog roast and bar on Friday evenings

Loos a bit basic but still ok
Would have preferred camp bed rather than airbeds.

Peace and quite. Loved the views just what we needed as keyworkers who have worked through covid

The field and the peace and quite

Toilets and showers

Loved the space and the solitude apart from the amazing pigs, horses, sheep and cows and the occasional smiling waving farmer! Its such a beautiful space with fields as far as the eye could see! My two boys ages 7 and 3 loved it and we could have stayed longer!

Couldn't find a hot tap, I think there were instructions but I didn't want to rudely wander around the farm! A few more signs would have been great :) Despite saying that there were no showers in the listing there did appear to be a shower block up but again as there were no signs or info on the listing I wasn't sure if we could use them.

Beautiful setting
Friendly farm staff
Great cows, pigs, horses and chickens to visit
Bell tent was big enough and in good condition

Air beds - could be upgraded to futons maybe
Not enough fire pits and bbq facilities in poor condition

lovely view and lots of farm animals to see for kids!

so many animals' poo on the ground...

The site is stunning. Very unspoilt. The owners are very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The bar and BBQ on the Friday night was a fantastic surprise. The location made it easy to visit Poole, Weymouth etc. We loved our stay. We will definitely be back.

Nothing to dislike!
