What customers say
A simple farm site, ideal for animal lovers, especially alpacas. Great owners, lots of creatures, and good pitches. Expect plane noise from nearby airport. Basic toilets, no showers. Some mention untidiness. Still, good value and guests will be back.

Great value for the money
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked All the animals that roamed around, certainly lovely waking up to see them.
Plus I loved the planes going over too, they were not too much to cause a problem.
Also pubs and shops in about a 15 minutes walk away
Plenty of room for your campervan and tent
Friendly staff
Disliked Toilets a little bit grotty
And nowhere to put rubbish, you had to take it home, but ours was full of Ants

Beautifully relaxing camp site surrounded by the most cute animals
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Peaceful atmosphere, being around lots of beautiful animals, lovely warm welcome, having plenty of space to camp, being visited by llamas and alpacas at the pitch, sight of the occasional plane in the sky approaching Bournemouth Airport, low light pollution and a great view of the night sky, lovely pub 15 minutes walk away. A beautifully rustic site with a lovely vibe - we will definitely be back.
Disliked Nothing apart from leaving to come home

Great place, would highly recommend
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked It's a wonderful little camp site. Lots of funny animals, plenty of water and clean toilets.
Disliked Showers would have been nice, but we managed fine in our van. Also I wish it was closer to the beach - it was about 25 minutes drive.

Anonymous Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked The alpacas
Disliked Not being able to return to your pitch after 10 pm in a camper van means quite confined. The really bad loud karaoke coming from one of the permanent residents
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We try not to allow driving in the field after 10pm so vehicle lights don't disturb other campers / children from sleeping, but we do try and accommodate late events, we also need sleep!!
The gate is shut to stop travelers that have not booked from arriving.
We stay / sleep in the same field incase of any issues and have herd nothing about karaoke ??
