Positiv Friendly welcome, lovely bit of the world to visit, some super tuneful cows to wake up to in the morning, good facilities. It was very quiet, which may have been down to the no campfires rule (not the campsite rule, I believe this was the whole of Weymouth that had bbq's and fires banned). Nothing to do but go to bed with the sun! Huge pitches. Relaxed.

Negativ I prefer more of a wild camping experience, whereas this is a site with set pitches and electric hookup. I don't know how I missed this in the site description as our booking was for non-electric. The site is very exposed so keep an eye on the wind predictions as tents were coming down with gusts of 35mph and above. Bring windbreaks! People with a couple of windbreaks seemed to be faring better. Our pitch was absolutely littered with cigarette butts, which was pretty disgusting. Other campers, eh.

Positiv Lovely smaller camp site - such helpful family run workers. Lots of tips where to visit. Always cleaning and checking everything is ok with toilets and showers. Helped fix tents in the storms and was really friendly. Would just prefer it if the showers could be turned down as a little too hot. Especially in this heat.

Positiv This almost NEVER happens but I loved everything! We had our first ever camping trip to Buckland Campsite, and after a nearly four and a half drive James helped us complete beginners put our tent up, explaining it all as he went. He is a complete and utter asset to the team. The place is clean, it’s tidy, the toilets and showers are SPOTLESS and they were my main worry. The size of the site is perfect, not too big, nothing is too far away. The little farm shop was brilliant, reasonably priced and stocked with any essentials we forgot or just fancied. The food trucks on some evening were a great addition. The kids play park is great, again not too far so they can go in alone and we could see them playing.
I could quite literally go on and on about how amazing it is, but truly, try it yourself because you WILL NOT be disappointed!

Positiv Liked

Lovely campsite that’s not too big, with a great range of facilities including a park, small shop, laundry room, communal freezer and games room. The staff were friendly, and the washing-up area was good. It’s also in a brilliant location, only around 10 minutes from Weymouth seafront. Overall, we really liked the site and the atmosphere.

Negativ Disliked

The toilet and shower facilities are the main downside. They’re basically like posh portaloos that have been plumbed in. The toilets are very small, smell of urine and feel quite grotty. We stayed for four nights and, although the cleaning van came every day, it didn’t seem like they were properly cleaned — more like bleach was put down the toilets and they were given a quick wipe.

The floors were particularly dirty in the corners and around the toilets, and the walls looked like they needed a good clean. The basins are tiny and positioned quite high, which makes them difficult for children and awkward for washing your face. It’s also unpleasant being less than a metre away from someone using the toilet while you’re trying to brush your teeth.

There are individual toilets available too, but these were equally small and grubby. The showers were similar — small, grotty and with a noticeable smell of mould.

It’s such a shame because the campsite itself is lovely. For us, it would genuinely be a 10/10 if they built a proper toilet and shower block. The facilities are the one thing really letting this otherwise great campsite down.

Positiv Great location for Weymouth. Staff were friendly when on site, plenty of showers and toilets. Great for kids

Negativ Still quiet a lot of noise after 10pm, quiet time seem to start at 11:30pm for people around us and finish around 6:30am. No one on site checking to see if quiet time adhered too.
