Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked We loved the no-fuss approach, no strict check-in or check-out times, which made everything so easy compared to most sites.
The owner was incredibly friendly, even driving over to welcome us personally, explain the facilities, and have a genuine chat to make sure we were settled.
The grounds are beautifully maintained, with two fields to choose from, the one at the rear is even more secluded and peaceful. There’s plenty of open space for the kids to kick a ball around or play frisbee without disturbing anyone.
A truly relaxing spot, perfect for us. We’ll definitely be back to Chalk Meadows in the very near future!

Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked Super quiet location, facilities, whilst basic, were perfect for what we needed. The owner came round each day to check in with us. Fab location for Weymouth beaches, without being amongst the throng. Showers were hot and good pressure.
Disliked Nothing much.

Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff and level pitches
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked The guy was super friendly, making sure everything was ok.
The showers are hot, powerful and clean
The site was clean, tidy and flat.
The flexible leaving time was great, it allowed us to extend the stay another half day. Yes we could have packed up then looked around, but we could look around, packup, have a shower and be nice and fresh for the trip home (over 4 hours each way)
