Primitive grass tent campsite

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked: The simplicity. Very nature focused and “outdoorsy” but had everything you need - showers that were nice and hot and plenty of room to dress, working toilets with plenty of toilet roll. Good washing up facilities and buckets for water carrying etc. offered a fire pit for hire at our pitch

Disliked: Quite difficult to find a flat pitch but was okay

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Fabulous location, very easy to find. Good standard of basic facilities. Hosts were friendly and helpful.

Disliked: Difficult to find a flat spot in the field, campsite is at the top of a hill, so quite exposed when weather is windy.

Local attractions

If you’re in Dorset for a beach break but fancy seeking out quieter shores than the particularly popular Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove (half an hour’s drive), check out Winspit Quarry, Seacombe Cliff and Chapmans Pool (15 minutes). All are easily reached via Worth Matravers (10 minutes), a village with an award-winning pub. Poole (half an hour) tends to be a little busier but is worth bustling towards for a look at the big natural harbour and Georgian-era old town, while Swanage (10 minutes) is a must for its views of the spectacular chalk-white cliffs. For countryside tours once you’re done with the coast, check out the atmospheric ruins of Corfe Castle close to the site (35 minutes’ walk), then drive to the RSPB Arne nature reserve for a bit of birdwatching. Organised days out at family-friendly attractions more your bag? Peer at the primates in Monkey World (20 minutes), amble among the armoured machines at the Tank Museum in Bovington (25 minutes) and chug through the countryside old-school style on the Swanage steam railway.
