What customers say
This peaceful campground has roomy, level sites with fire pits and handy dishwashing stations. Guests love the unique, clean horsebox showers/toilets, especially the hot water and good pressure. Enclosed, dog-friendly sites are a hit. While some note occasional road noise or less hot water for dishes, friendly hosts and the quiet, natural setting make for a highly recommended, relaxing stay.

This is a beautiful campsite!
Powered grass tent or RV campsite (premium, Private restroom amenities)
Liked This is a beautiful campsite. The private kitchen and bathroom were Spotless, and made camping with our anxious dog so much easier.
The completely enclosed private space is huge and gave my dog, and daughter so much room to play in.
There is also access to some beautiful local walks.
As soon as the booking opens for next year, we will be coming back.

Liked Great site 😃 perfect for us and our little dog.
Good size pitches.
Fire pit on each pitch although due to heatwave we couldn't use but still a nice touch.
Easy location
Clean loos and showers in a quirky lorry.
Will definitely be back again.

Fully-enclosed powered grass tent or RV campsite
Liked We chose 5 Acres as extremely convenient, only 15 mins from where we needed to be to get solar panels put on our recently purchased VW camper. It was our maiden adventure with our Labrador so being able to have the very large enclosed pitch was a real bonus with it’s own electric, water, quirky pot wash facility, bin and waste. There’s also a few countryside walks right from the campsite which we thoroughly enjoyed so no need to drive anywhere. The unisex shower and toilet facilities were very quirky also, a colourful converted horse lorry, three toilets and 2 showers. The water was always lovely and hot. The site was very quiet when we were there so we didn’t ever have to wait for either which was great, not sure how having only that amount works if site busy! There’s solar lighting in the toilet section so useable during the night but not in the shower section, so after the first night going for a shower when it was dark and not being able to, we made sure we showered during daylight hours! The couple that own it are very nice, friendly and there if you needed as live next door, we didn’t so all good.
Disliked I don’t ever like to put negatives but the 3 toilets were, how can I say, not very inviting, a few iffy curries had been eater I think! They’re not cleaned daily, when we arrived on the Monday they were bad and eventually they were cleaned, little bins emptied and hand towel changed on the Thursday! That was our only dislike. Facilities really should be cleaned daily especially if unisex!

A fantastic site
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked This is a fantastic site. Perfectly placed as a stop off for me, on route to Dorset. Field was spacious, pitches around the circumference and it happened to be just me and another camper in the enclosed camping spot. Outside washing up areas dotted around too. Really well thought out site.
Facilities really good, in a fixed truck ! Very clean and nice hot showers.
Really impressive . It was only £12 booking ahead. Thank you

Anonymous Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Lovely little site, and nearby to us as we wanted to test our new campervan. Very quiet, nice quirky showers and toilets in a converted horsebox!
Disliked Other guests next to us refused to put their dog on a lead, which was very annoying. Not an issue for the campsite, as I appreciate not everyone follows the rules!

Can’t wait to return
Fully-enclosed powered grass tent or RV campsite
Liked We had a lovely stay at 5 Acres Camping Site and this was our second time visiting. My partner and I & 2 of our friends stayed on one of the enclosed dog pitches, which was perfect for us and our dogs. The site was lovely and quiet, making it a really relaxing stay
The toilets and showers were kept lovely and clean, which is always a big plus\. The owners were really friendly, welcoming and chatty, which made us feel right at home.
We’ve really enjoyed both of our stays and will definitely be coming back again. Would highly recommend, especially if you’re looking for a peaceful, dog-friendly site!
