  • 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.

What customers say

Spacious, well-kept site with friendly hosts. Clean, basic facilities, good hot showers. Campers enjoy choosing their spot. Adjacent woods & coastal access are big pluses. Occasional camper noise & preference for permanent toilets over portaloos noted.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Site was good, mostly flat field, facilities were clean and well maintained, staff were friendly and genuinely interested when they were asking questions about us. We were visiting Bovington Tank Museum for Tankfest 2026 and wanted somewhere really close, this site is 5 minutes down the road, there is also a nice pub and well stocked SPAR in nearby Wool.

Disliked Washing up sinks didn't have any roof, we had a really hot weekend, but this could be a problem if it was wet, there was also no site Wi-Fi, this might be difficult to achieve as the field is quite large but mobile coverage for me was almost non-existent so it would be a nice-to-have.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked This was a great campsite. It has basic facilities but exactly what we were expecting. Everything was clean and staff were welcoming and friendly. It was a busy campsite with a mix of campers (families, couples, groups, etc) and the site was quiet between after 11 pm.
The site offers fireplaces and wood for those that want to rent one.
I definitely recommend this site and look forward to returning.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Many thanks, yes May and August bank holiday are often quite busy, especially if the sun shines like it did this May. There is always plenty of space though as the field is so large.

Would recommend great campsite

Liked The field - gorgeous wild flowers
The woods and the easy access
The fire pits - great recycling and worked well

Disliked Unfortunately whilst the majority of people were quiet after 11 not everyone respected that and we had various noisy neighbours into the earl hours.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked It was a perfect bank holiday! I was welcomed With a warm and friendly manner. And advice of facilities were explained.
It is a large site that accommodates many people with space between pitches.
The showers were well maintained, cleaned multiple tiimes throughout the day.
I had a great stay for a reasonable cost and would recommend it.
Thankyou 😊

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).
