Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Great little field with immaculately kept facilities. Top fields a great spot for the evening sun and has a great little footpath at the top for short walks. Minutes away from town and a short drive to the coast or Dorchester.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Lovely site and owner. Great signal/data coverage too!
Disliked: Unfortunately a large group of families were there during our stay and making lots of noise until late (kids running around pretty close to our tent after 10:30 at night flashing lights and shouting) Unfortunately their parents did nothing, in fact they were also talking away loudly until late.

Liked: Absolutely stunning location, very peaceful and quiet and Jim the campsite owner does a fantastic job. The facilities are basic but extremely well kept, the showers lovely and hot and a great little washing up area is provided too. We had a lovely evening in the meadow area at the top of the field and can’t wait to go back again. It’s a basic campsite done well and any problems I’m sure Jim would sort them out for you.

Liked: The scenery was beautiful for just half an hour away from our town. It was very peaceful and the fields were clean. Jim was very friendly and would check on us and our experience every day to make sure we were having a great time. The toilets and showers were also clean and well managed.
