  • Spacious family-friendly pitches on a 25-acre wild meadow
  • A 20-minute drive from the Jurassic Coast; 10 minutes from Wareham
  • Wildlife haven close to fishing spots on the river Piddle
Now here’s a place that’s really able to call itself a wildlife haven: Hyde Camping is a spacious Dorset site in a 25-acre hay and wildflower meadow that’s been unsprayed for more than 20 years. In fact the whole estate it belongs to is dedicated to preserving and rewilding native habitats, so wildlife of all sorts is able to thrive here. Badgers, hedgehogs, deer, foxes, owls and otters can sometimes be spotted around the wooded area next to the pitches, and salmon and trout are plentiful in the river Piddle, close to the campsite. Pitches here are large, well-drained and flat, with acres of land but only small numbers of guests on site at any one time. That means, as well as a proper sense of seclusion, there's heaps of space for the kids to run around while the grownups tend the barbecue or start a campfire (logs and kindling are available to buy on site, and firepits are available to hire). Compost loos are on site too and guests have access to a small amount of fridge/freezer space (for whatever bits you pick up at the shops in Wareham or Bere Regis, both 10 minutes’ drive away). As well as the many plus points of the site itself, this central Dorset location is also a handy one for getting out and about to explore the county’s many attractions. The beaches of the Jurassic Coast are about 20 minutes’ drive away, and the popular Monkey World and Tank Museum are five minutes away.

Local attractions

Where to start with the attractions around here? Perhaps it’s best to get your bearings by heading out on foot to stretch your legs on the walking and bike trails of Wareham Forest or the paths of Clouds Hill National Trust estate (both five minutes’ drive). Alternatively perhaps you’d like to see the scenery from above on a flight from Dorset Gliding Club (five minutes), or sit back and relax while riding on the Swanage Railway (15 minutes)? Sticking with the outdoor activities, a golf course and clay pigeon shooting are both five minutes’ drive away, and there are plenty of watersports options down at Lulworth Cove (20 minutes), including canoe or paddleboard trips around Durdle Door. For other days out, the highly kid-friendly attractions of Monkey World (five minutes) and The Tank Museum (10 minutes) are usually good bets for a family day out, as is the chance to scramble about playing at being a knight at Corfe Castle (15 minutes). For something a little more sedate, try Sculpture By The Lakes (10 minutes).

Amanda J.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Beth the host was lovely and was so accommodating. Even lending us a bar b que one evening so we could cook. The site is basic but you have clean toilets and water on site. The bird song is lovely and it's a nice quiet peaceful site.

Disliked The price of the logs was a bit dear but they were large logs and burnt very well. The wi fi wasn't great but we managed.

From the manager: Hi Amanda - thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review - glad you enjoyed the site :-)
