Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Pick your own pitch, clean facilities, great views, owner / employee super helpful- didnt catch his name but he was driving around delivering fire wood to people all afternoon for them & always approachable ! Short drive to all the popular places :)
Disliked: The whole site slopes a fair amount. Windy site, so try to pitch near hedges at the sides! 20p for the shower only gets you 2 minutes (per 20p). found that out the hard way. Site gets boggy during rain which can be an issue for non-off road cars as there is no hard standing to drive on to get to your pitch. They are ready to tow you out whenever you need, but something to consider

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The open spaces and unlimited pitch size. Very quiet no road noise. Toilets in a fair condition. Owners were very friendly and would deliver the logs and kindling to your tent.
Disliked: Really needs the grass cutting. Bins need to be emptied as they were full from the day we arrived to the day we left. (2 nights). Very hilly and very difficult to find a flat spot. The ground was very soft and numerous vehicles were stuck and had to be toed out. Luckily we had a 4 wheel drive so not a problem but anything less and you will have trouble. Wouldnt stay again but only because it was very hilly. Nothing around so you had to drive everywhere would of liked information about the walks around the area as you can walk to Swanage but there were no sign posts or any information.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Really liked the layed back approach and atmosphere, friendly staff and loved the firepit. The campsite caters for all, basic facilities, quiet, close to bus stops and x2 garages at top of the road.
Disliked: Boggy ground due to rain but not campsites fault, an offer of being towed if needed was there, not many flat spots
