Good location basic site

Aug 2026

Liked Location Price We booked this as a basic campsite to take the kids to Swanage for a few days. We picked it for the very close location to town and easy access bus stop outside. Although we didn’t end up taking the bus we saw it running past in both directions very regularly. Our stay was during the incredibly hot weather, I think day 60 of no rain in Surrey so unfortunately fire pits and disposal BBQs quite rightly were not allowed during our stay. Check in was simple. Field is huge with campers mostly setting up round the edge. No shade at all. Lots of space in the middle for play. Field is on a hill so some games more difficult. The patch we chose was on a slight incline. I think flatter spots might have been at the top of the hill which was already full (and the furthest from the toilets) or perhaps right in the middle of the field. However our kids had skateboards with them so really enjoyed whizzing down the hill. They also loved the pigs. Toilets available (3 ladies, 2 men’s cubicles and 2 urinals). I never had to wait but there is also a public toilet at the entrance to the farm. Two showers available- use 50p coins to operate. Temperature of water is set and did come out slightly hot then cold before settling on a good medium temp. One 50p perfectly fine for a body wash, 2 to include a shampoo/conditioner hair wash for ladies with long hair like me. Both toilets and showers were fine, lots of cobwebs /spiders etc but toilets / shower floors were cleaned every day with toilet roll and hand wash replaced. Two washing up basins available with hot water, and a separate drinking water tap (quite warm during our stay). Site was absolutely fine for a cheap few nights away, great location (5 mins to Swanage, 15 to Durlston Country park or Corfe Castle), nice views, good skies in the evening and at night, campsite nice and quiet from around 10:30 onwards. We didn’t use the cafe or farm itself so cannot comment on those.
