  • Quiet, family-friendly and rural site in a wildlife haven
  • Just outside the Dorset National Landscape, with countryside views
  • Firepits for guests' use and two large barbecues available to hire
Your 'darling buds' should blossom at Primrose Fields in Dorset. This small and friendly site is just a five-minute drive from Wareham, the ape rescue centre Monkey World and The Tank Museum in Bovington. Spectacular Lulworth Cove on the Jurassic Coast is also only a 15-minute drive away. There are great walking and cycling routes from the site, such as the Frome Valley trail, the Hardy Way and National Cycle Route 2. Make the most of starry nights and campfires on the peaceful wildflower meadow, which has views of Dorset heathland. Set up base by venerable oak trees and let the children play on the rope swing or chase butterflies. There are wild surroundings, but with the comfort of clean and well-maintained facilities. Pitches at Primrose Fields aren't set, so you can make your camp anywhere in the wildlife meadow, picking a spot by the forest or one with heathland views. Most of the field is flat for easy pitching. Walkers, cyclists, watersporters, couples, families and kids are all welcome on site. Campfires are allowed within firepits, with sustainably sourced wood and charcoal available to buy. Firepits and large barbecues are available for use on site. For food and supplies, nearby Wareham has a good selection of shops, cafés and pubs. A café and farm shop are about a mile away. For pizza, there's a takeaway in Wareham that can deliver handmade Neapolitan-style pizzas directly to the site.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Pretty chilled and relaxed place making a point to leave plenty of space between pitches, while there is a busy road nearby we couldn’t hear it. The woodland accessible from the campsite is really nice for a walk with the dog or even a good run.

Disliked Toilets are portaloos so you know what to expect but they were kept clean. There was quite a queue for the 3 showers on the bank holiday weekend but again, that’s something you can expect and deal with.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou for the lovely pictures and I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay. Yes we have plenty of toilets and keep them clean, but a limited number of showers. It is worth showering outside of peak times if you can to avoid a wait when the site is busy.

Incredibly friendly owners. Clean, well situated…

Liked Incredibly friendly owners. Clean, well situated facilties. Nice level field.

Disliked Only one slight negative was that the washing basins had no hot water.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. The showers, basins and sinks should have hot water 24/7. They are checked regularly, but if anything goes wrong in between times, please let us know at reception and we will remedy it straight away.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Plenty of space
Very clean toilets, showers and washing up facilities.
Superb adjacent woodland area for giving the dogs a run.
Very helpful staff

Disliked Noise from helicopters and railway line but we do live in an area which is completely silent at night!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: So glad you enjoyed the site. We do get a few helicopters going over because of the military bases at Lulworth and Bovington nearby, also the coastguard and air ambulance go over from time to time if there is an issue on the beaches nearby. The military interest in the area, like Bovington Tank museum and the chance to see tanks training from Clouds Hill road is one of the attractions of the area. I've got to admit it hasn't occurred to me to worry about it as a negative before, but yes agreed you do get occasional noise. I like seeing the big Chinooks go over. You'll also see gliders and small aircraft from the nearby gliding club and sometimes Guy Ritchie's spitfire goes over which is very cool. The train track is about half a mile away and you can hear the trains depending on wind direction. The upside of this is that we are very close to Wareham and Wool stations on the London Waterloo to Weymouth line.

Very friendly welcome on arrival and…

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Very friendly welcome on arrival and throughout our stay. Big flat field, and peaceful nights sleep under a starry sky. Quiet trail right next to the site. Facilities were clean and tidy and with hot water. Was an easy drive to beautiful Lulworth and Durdle door and fish and chips by the river in Wareham.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Graham, many thanks for scoring us so highly and I'm glad you liked the site and it's a shame some irresponsible dog owners spoilt your stay. Dogs are supposed to be under control as per the rules, most dog owners understand the need for this and we do remind owners when we see it. Please don't hesitate to let us know at reception if any dogs are bothering you and we are happy to intervene on your behalf with the owners.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Really friendly couple running the campsite. Bus service from nearby stop was great to get to Lulworth and Corfe Castle. Beautiful woods to walk in from the campsite.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: So glad you enjoyed your stay. And so glad you found the local buses, More Bus Jurassic Breezer and First Bus Jurassic Coaster run a regular service to Swanage, Wareham, Wool, Lulworth and Weymouth. There's a request stop at the junction of A352/Church Lane, about 10 mins walk from the site. It's really handy, especially for people in larger campervans who are all set up or to avoid the expensive parking at Lulworth. Look out for day tripper ticket deals if you want to do several journeys in a day around the area.

Route directions

Primrose Fields is the second gate on the left-hand side up Primrose Farm Lane, which is 50 yards to the east of the Black Dog Inn off the A352 between Wareham and Wool. By train: Waterloo-Weymouth train to nearby Wool or Wareham, then take the bus to the site (see below). It's possible to cycle/hike from the train stations; please use Bindon Lane/Holme Lane (not the A352) for a safer and more scenic journey. By bus: Jurassic Breezer/Coaster buses stop at the Church Lane/A352 junction, approximately a 10-minute walk on pavements and footpaths.

Local attractions

There's lots to do around this site without even firing up the car engine: the Frome Valley Trail is close at hand and quiet country lanes are just the ticket for gentle cycling. There are excellent Jurassic Breezer/Coaster bus services from the Church Lane/A352 junction (around 10 minutes' walk); ride the bus to Wareham, Lulworth Cove, Swanage or Weymouth (perhaps for the Weymouth to Swanage section of the South West Coast Path). Take a picnic or a catch of local fish and chips down to the grassy riverbank opposite the quay in Wareham (five minutes' drive) or wander around the town's Saxon defence walls. Another good walk is the Two Rivers route down to the backwaters of Poole Harbour, but if you’d rather get out on the water than look at it, hire a canoe, kayak or paddleboard for lazy drifting up the Frome. If you do decide to drive, the beaches, countryside and attractions of Purbeck and West Dorset are a short distance away. Other splendid spots are the RSPB Arne nature reserve (15 minutes), old Corfe Castle (10 minutes) and a steam train from the castle surrounds to the seaside resort of Swanage. North of Swanage is the sandy National Trust-managed Studland Bay (20 minutes).
