Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Great little camping site, just outside the small village. The site owner, Jim was very welcoming and gave help when asked with information on places to visit and best roads to use. Basic facilities of showers and toilets were nice and clean.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked We greatly enjoyed this site, it was our first family camping holiday. There was plenty of space for all, even when the site was full there was still space for the children to run and play. The owner was very attentive and ensured everyone was happy and that facilities were in working order. We will definitely be looking at coming again.
Disliked Nothing, it was exactly as advertised!

Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked It was the bank holiday weekend but Jim (the owner) made sure everyone had enough space & personally showed you the options of where you could pitch up. He was on site 80% of the time & always happy to have a chat with you or answer any questions you had, about the local area.

Lovely site with clean facilities.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Clean, well stocked facilities. Peaceful, flat field. Owner Jim is very helpful. He visit's the field regularly to make sure everyone is ok. Relaxed check-in and check out times. There is a good pub 10min walk down the road called the Black dog which does great food.
Disliked Nothing to dislike.

A lovely, quiet spot a short drive from the beach.
Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked A fairly flat, well kept field. Easy distance from Weymouth, Lulworth and routes to Lyme Regis etc. Friendly and helpful owner, regularly on site. Facilities were simple but clean. The showers don't look much, but they're hot and powerful. A super, family friendly spot. Lovely pebble beaches nearby.
Disliked The toilets and showers were busy over the bank holiday, but not a huge issue.
