What customers say
This spacious farm campsite has stunning views and a laid-back vibe. Visitors loved the friendly staff, great food at the cafe, and farm animals (especially pigs!). Facilities are clean and fine, though basic. Perfect for hikers and exploring Swanage. Some noted sloped fields and shower issues, which management handled.

An absolute gem!
Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Friendly staff upon check in, so helpful and made to feel very welcome.
Great camp ground with loads of space.
Not overly busy and so peaceful. Absolutely loved staying here, wish we could have stayed longer.
Facilities were exactly what you need, showers/ toilets/ wash up area. Lots to do in the area but also loads of space for games and keeping oneself entertained. Can’t fault it at all.

Liked Our initial greeting and check-in were excellent. The staff were incredibly friendly and the site was so peaceful and in an excellent location. The cafe on-site was lovely, and the farm is such a bonus for families.
Disliked The facilities were pretty basic, and the toilets were missing toilet roll on several occasions. I think these being checked slightly more regularly would be a bonus. There is also a huge slope and a bumpy dirt track to the site, which did damage my car. Would recommend using a 4x4 or a raised vehicile if you have one!

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Really liked it. Nice big field and when we were there it wasn’t at all crowded so we could camp wherever we liked. Fantastic breakfast in the farm shop cafe - very high quality.
Disliked The field is in a bit of a slope. We needed tokens for the showed but the shop selling them was closed.
