What customers say

Chill, scenic, and remote spot with great views & flat, roomy sites. Kids loved the animals, trampoline, slide & woods. Clean loos & showers a hit! Good base for day trips. Watch out for a bit of mud on the driveway.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Lovely tranquil site, the trampoline and tyre swing and open grassy area dor ball games went down well with the children. We recommend the site to anybody wanting a quiet getaway. Plenty of room to be far away from each other.

Disliked There were about 10 families there this weekend, I think a couple more composting toilets are needed ... 2 toilets isn't enough. Also more sawdust please.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Small family run campsite on a working farm. My son could feed the pigs and sheep and play on the slide and trampoline. We enjoyed exploring the woods and walking to Semley village which has a great pub, village stores and milkshake vending machine from Church Farm Dairy.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Location although we local we could have been anywhere in country. Lovely flat pitches. Plenty of space. Clean toilets and showers. Trampoline. Woods for children to play in with tyre. Friendly welcoming owner. Will be back for sure as children loved it .

Disliked Entrance was very muddy a suggestion cover it with rubble /gravel as with low car wasn’t easy.

Local attractions

Lively Shaftesbury (10 minutes’ drive) has plenty going on; let the kids loose in the large play park, swim laps of the outdoor pool at Shaftesbury Lido and climb cobbled Gold Hill – made famous by the ‘Hovis’ advert – for views across Dorset hills and valleys from Park Walk. Back down in town, browse the antiquarian bookshops before sampling some scrumpy cider in a local pub. See more of Dorset on a cycle ride or hike along the North Dorset Trailway (25 minutes’ drive), or have a wander through the folly-filled water gardens at National Trust-owned Stourhead (20 minutes). Fonthill Lake (15 minutes) is another pretty spot for family rambles around the shoreline. You might also like to visit two big-hitting attractions close by. Spend the day at Longleat on driving safaris through big-cat enclosures, or book ahead to see our near-cousins up close on Gorilla Island. One of the biggest neolithic sites in Europe, the mighty megaliths at Stonehenge (both half an hour) should also be on your radar; learn more about the stones at the interactive visitor centre.
