What customers say
A top spot! Friendly hosts Abbie & Paul, clean, flat pitches with handy extras like a fridge. Great base to explore. Downsides: weak showers needing constant pressing, and toilets can get crowded at peak times.

Power optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Close by to some amazing views just a short drive up the road.
Just a field with electric points and a toilet block with a place to wash your pots wasn't dirty but the spiders are very much at home (it's outside so I get not much could be done) but really put me off using the showers was only there for one night so not to much of a problem was only 4 others there all night the views of the sky are the best of you like star gazing.

Power optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked We loved how peaceful the small and friendly site was, we also enjoyed sitting around the fire pit provided and watching the beautiful star lit sky. Very clean and tidy with nice warm showers! 👍
Disliked Not a lot to dislike other than the shower heads could do with being replaced, they just spray everywhere but where you want!

Clean site, location a little distant, shame about the ants & shower
Power optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Clean toilets, well kept lawn, option to have both electric hookup and camp fires, shower temperature was good.
Disliked Location was a little far from a lot of the places we visited, also alot of ants nested around the site, and the shower heads didn't spray water evenly. Poor Internet connection.

Power optional grass caravan site
Liked Simple, clean, well-kept site. Very quiet. Toilets/Showers block clean.
Paul the owner/manager friendly and gave helpful advice.
Ideally situated for Tyneham village carpark where it is a 2/3 mile walk along a track to Worbarrow Bay where we had a fantastic swim.
Disliked Access lane from main road is quiet narrow with limited passing places so some caution needed.
