The Railway Campsite

Positiv Beautiful setting in Dorset countryside, well maintained site with facilities well kept with clean showers, the compost toilets we're cleaned regularly and always had lots of loo paper. The owner and all the staff were super friendly and it was a great bonus to have the cafe as we arrived late and could get a meal.

Negativ Having hot water for the washing up area would be great

Positiv The showers, the food & drink shack, the friendly people running the site and shack, the location right next to the trainline, the open space and "pitch where you like" attitude

Negativ The toilets - and it's not necessarily the fact that they're compost toilets, that's fine and good for the environment. They're just too small.

Positiv Location is superb, Great to hear and watch the trains, Staff friendly, Site tidy, Lovely hot showers, Food shack looked great but did not use.

Negativ Nothing really - it is a basic site with long drop toilets but facilities were exactly what I was expecting.

Positiv Friendly site, quiet, regular steam and diesel trains passing. Easy access to local station which goes from.Corfe Castle to Swanage.
Clean facilities. Late check out time.
Jamaican food on Thursday was great.
Loved Annabel's four gorgeous collie dogs, who kept the site's children (and us) amused for hours

Positiv Fantastic campsite. Lovely owners who run the snack shack / cafe and keep the site very clean and organised. They have 4 sheepdogs that played really nicely with the kids. 2 rope swings and little woodland area for games, ideal for our kids who are 6 and 3. The site didn't feel crowded even when at capacity. Jamaican guys come and cook proper Caribbean food on Thursdays. Mobile shop comes every morning with fresh pastries. We did some hilly bike rides to Swanage and studland. Took the steam train to corfe castle, the station is literally at the entrance to the site.

Positiv The site was spacious, clean, well drained and airy hillside with plenty of flat areas. A cool wooded patch which made a great play area (the village playground was only a couple of minutes down the road, but we did not need it.)
The staff/owners were as friendly and helpful as you could wish.
The snackshack was just that and much appreciated.
Very dog friendly - not that we brought our own dogs but the kids made friends with loads of them.

Positiv Loved seeing train run past every hour. Nice site and had cafe.

Negativ Breakfast £9.50 plus £2.50 for coffee expensive when served on paper plates, with wooden cutlery just outside of kitchen. Might have let this go but cafe owners friends turned up and were served on proper plates. Friends then proceeded to talk loudly about recent surgery, didn't go well with my breakfast!

Vom Platzbetreiber: Sorry to hear about the conversation you overheard.
I’m afraid I’m not allowed to serve food on washable plates and knives and forks as I don’t have an industrial dishwasher it all has to be disposable for the general public I’m afraid. Only staff and family can eat off the kitchen crockery.
All the meat is from our local butcher and is top quality hence the price .
