Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: The host Daniel was top notch. Theres a little hill you will have to walk up with your things when you arrive on site, however dan just takes your stuff in his 4x4 and bombs it up the hill. Great showers also and the toilet really isn't that bad. We also forgot a hammer for the tent pegs and Dan helped us out.
Disliked: Nothing.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: This campsite is a great choice if you like your camping rustic. David who owns the site was really nice and helpful too. Tents are pitched in a lovely field with nice views away from the cars, and David took our stuff up to the field in his 4x4. The facilities are very basic. Hot showers in horse boxes, long drop composting toilets, fridges, freezers and plugs for charging in an outhouse. Lots of fire pits and logs available. The site is within walking distance of the river for swimming and kayaking and one can also walk to Kingston Lacey. A great wild camping experience for the kids!
Disliked: The washing up station had no hot water. There were no washroom facilities for shaving or teeth brushing.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Great location not far from the town and very close to the river. Walk into town along the river was delightful. Was quiet on the days we were there so nice and peaceful. Warm showers worked great.
Disliked: Would benefit from running water up the top where the tents are. Compost toilets are fine but no hand washing facilities (do have anti bac dispensers). No lights in the toilets and banged my head on the way in and out as they are in horse boxes with half doors. Better access up and down the hill as a bit dodgy in the rain!

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: A hidden gem in Dorset Countryside. Woods and open fields. Very warm and friendly greeting from David who showed us around the facilities. David happy to help in any way he could (including driving our gear to the top field). Lovely, picturesque campsite, close to local pub, river and even a short walk to the beach. Really pleased to have found this campsite and will definitely go again. Many thanks....
