What customers say

Awesome, peaceful spot with plenty of room & privacy. Friendly staff & clean grounds get a tick. Lovely views & campfires a hit. Showers great, but bring a torch for minimal lighting. Signage & site lighting could be better, and a cafe would be a bonus. Good value, would recommend.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Campsite itself very good and spacious with a nice view on the white horse.

Disliked Facilities. Long queues to toilets and showers. No lights! You need to go to toilets with a flashlight. Boiling water in the shower, almost burned my skin. Not enough spaces for washing up -Queues. Due to not be able shower when it's dark, long queues in the morning.
Shame, because campsite it's nice.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou for your comments.
The bank holiday is our busiest weekend and there are lightly to be queues.
There are toilets and showers each end of the campsite, also toilets at reception.
The showers in the woods do get hot when all the cold water is running at the sinks and wash up area, there are warning signs up.
As I am sure you noticed the lights in the toilets have been vandalized and the switches smashed,
we will be putting solar lights in with timers on for next year.
Also there are more wash up areas and again there will be queues at the Bank holiday weekend.

Hopefully we will see you next year at a quieter time.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Camping is ok as big enough for pitch where you like, for feeling to be in wild camping it’s perfect .
Staff at reception lovely peoples.

Disliked Toilets not enough for service the 4 fields for all peoples in, as queues likely and there are just 2 block of toilets ( cabin woods)but very clean .
If you pitch not close of them you aspected to walk long distance to get the block toilets and in night it’s very dark as no light at all around, you need to have a good torch light .
the fields close to the Whitehorse are very far from toilets and no water pipes for any emergency needed, again you need to walk lots .
If the management will consider to update about light and bring water in more point and more toilets, this camping will be very complete and more comfortable.
I don’t see the point to buy their logs for the fire pit to be honest as they requested as the quality of this woods isn’t the great one for have nice fire, just lots of smoke and not heath.
In night to much noises till very late from others campers, as not any checks I believe is around for make sure everyone respect the roule.

From the manager: Thankyou for your comments.
Bank holiday is our busiest weekend and the two extra fields are open then. There are more toilets up at reception. There is a trough in each of the fields with water pipes for emergency.
I am sure you noticed the lights in the toilets had been vandalized and the switches smashed to pieces.
We like to ensure that the wood that is burned on the campsite is suitable, safe and dry.
We do drive around the campsite late at night to monitor noise, and we react to any phone calls we receive
We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us, hopefully see you next year.

Liked Fantastic campsite the best place ive stayed at by far, this site is undoubtedly underestimated with stunning views and a short walk through the fields to the nearest village with lovely pubs great atmosphere. I can not rate this Campsite enough go back to basics with no electricity however enjoy clear skys shooting stars. The facilities are amazing from the outset they look old and tired however step inside you have lovely toilets with a sink cabin style and the showers are powerful and warm cleaned regular 😀.

Local attractions

Once you’re done admiring the Osmington White Horse (created in 1808), it’s time for a little gentle coastal exploration. The site is 10 minutes’ drive from Overcombe Beach, or you can walk a section of the South West Coast Path (five minutes’ drive) for views of the soaring limestone cliffs around National Trust-owned Ringstead Bay and Durdle Door. Family-friendly Weymouth (15 minutes) offers up golden sand on Preston Beach, colourful fish and comical penguins at the Sea Life Centre, and ever-changing sand sculptures at Sandworld. There’s also a skatepark for older kids and a couple of golf courses on the outskirts of town. Other days out could entail meeting the primates at Monkey World - Ape Rescue Centre (20 minutes), where there are daily keeper talks, or stepping back in time to the Middle Ages to explore the hilltop ruins of Corfe Castle (half an hour). The military-history buffs among you will probably welcome time pottering around the vintage tanks and World War II vehicles at The Tank Museum (also half an hour).
