What customers say
This large, well-kept site boasts lovely woods & roomy spots. Staff were a hit for being friendly & helpful, with clean amenities, a handy shop & café. Great location for exploring. Generally quiet, though can be busy/noisy at peak times. Some WiFi and portable toilet issues noted.

Open Field primitive grass tent or RV campsite

From the manager: Thanks for a great review. If you do come again, we do have a third shower block in the Camp field, which often gets overlooked. Hopefully see you again.
Wonderful site with amenities but small enough to be relaxed and quiet
Main primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked The cosy feel of the main field with a big family atmosphere. The snack shack served great food. Showers and toilets were very clean and well maintained. Shop was well stocked. Childrens play area was great. Very friendly staff.

Liked Great location, scenic site, friendly staff, well run, quiet. Campsite was well maintained, good amenities and great for families

Facilities were good in the central cabin.
Open Field primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked The spaciousness. It is a huge campsite spread over a number of open fields and woodland. Nice walks and safe cycle rides around Purbeck to Studlands. Good facilities in the central cabin and there were portaloos spread around the huge site. There was a reasonably priced burger and pizza hut on site which seemed to be very busy for dinners and breakfasts. The woodland camping area was more packed with campers and unavailable to us but the fields were very spacious and great for children playing games. Very nice campsite.
Disliked Nothing

Main primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Good location within a few miles of Swanage, Corfe Castle and many of the Dorset attractions.
Family friendly and has a very safe feel.
Shop was reasonably stocked and priced
Staff were helpful
Toilet/shower block was clean
Coffee and Bacon rolls were very good
Good price
We would all happily stay again
Disliked Recycling centre was overfilling with rubbish at times.
Another tumble drier would be useful. There are 2 washing machines and 1 dryer. All reasonable priced but I ended waiting round for access to the dryer.

Avoid the open camping field
Open Field primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Flat ground, free showers, small park for the kids.
Disliked The portaloo’s in the open camping field need cleaning and restocking far more (which didn’t happen despite us asking) - lots of times they had run out of loo roll, hand sanitiser and were filthy. The weekend 25-27 July was rammed - far too many pitches were sold which spoiled it somewhat but when quieter it was much more pleasant. The food for sale is expensive for what it is - definitely frozen burgers! Fire pit hire at £8 a night is pretty disgraceful too, many other sites are free of charge. I suspect the good reviews probably come from the main site where the facilities are much, much better versus the open field which is quite expensive for what it is.
