What customers say
Great views, quiet spot, good pitches. Friendly staff, tasty cafe, handy for Swanage. Clean, basic facilities (some mention shower tokens). A few found pitches sloped or it got busy, but most loved it and will be back.

Non-electric grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The cafe breakfast was nice
Disliked Showers were 50p for four minutes not 50p per use. Wash up area was out side with not shelter at all. We go stuck in a storm and the staff stood and didn’t offer any help.

We stayed on the main field.…
Non-electric grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We stayed on the main field. we liked the rural feel.
Disliked Shower token system is brutal. Worst of all worlds - a timer - no heat adjustment - and you can only buy tokens at certain times of the day. Consistently no soap in men's bathroom for 48 hours.
No organisation of pitches. Getting on and off in late august was tricky - people were getting pushed on and off site because of the slope and the mud. Hosts seemed absent - no one around after 6pm. Rules for noise etc are different on pitchup (no music) to on site (no music after 10pm).
I'm sorry to seem like a downer on it, but after a summer of camping at around 12 different sites, this is the first one that has disappointed.
Great cafe though.
