What customers say
This roomy, tranquil site offers amazing views of hills & the Osmington White Horse. Guests loved the friendly owners, clean individual washrooms, and fire pits. A few noted no recycling bins or washroom lineups at busy times, but overall, a great stay with many wanting to come back!

Good stay for a base for the night
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Lovely quiet campsite with plenty of room, basic site with toilets and shower and pot wash. Other users were respectful. Short walk through the back fields to the pub.
Disliked The push taps in the toilet are faulty and don’t release to turn off, therefore they were left running whilst we were in a drought (I manually pulled the tap up after use to turn it off). And there are 2 potash sinks, other people were washing up under running water, so if you wanted to fill your sink you had to wait, and both sets of taps barely worked together at the same time. Would be nice is there was a play area/park for the kids.

From the manager: We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us.
The taps in the toilet do release and turn off, these are checked when we clean at least four times a day. The taps are not designed to work together there is hot or cold water they are not mixer taps. If we had a play area or a park for the children we would have to increase the costs to cover this.
Many thanks for your comments and all noted.

Excellent campsite with spotless facilities, an easy check!
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked A fantastic campsite and a great place to stay for the night. Check-in was quick and easy, the facilities were spotless, and the host was welcoming and knowledgeable.
When we stayed, there were three large camping fields available, so there was plenty of space to find a nice flat pitch. There are also two pubs within easy walking distance directly from the campsite, which was a real bonus.
The views of the Osmington White Horse were excellent and made for a lovely setting.
Campfires weren’t permitted during our stay due to the dry ground conditions, which is completely understandable. Raised BBQs were still allowed.
We’d happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it to others.

Anonymous Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked The space, hot powerful showers, location and the ability to walk to good pubs within half an hour. The owners were also really friendly.
Disliked Unisex toilets. There are 6 loos - please make it 3 and 3.
Lack of recycling - I ended up taking all mine home as it seems very unsustainable to be putting all rubbish into a skip.

Amazing location, helpful staff, a great place to stay. We'd go back.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked This is a lovely spot. Was an ideal base for our visit to the Dog, Cider and Chilli festival at the Springhead. A 'no fuss' site with lots of space.
Disliked You need to be patient with the showers, there was often a queue at busy times - but we did go at peak season.
