What customers say
This campsite boasts a lovely, quiet spot with plenty of room and privacy, with staff praised as friendly and the place kept spotless. Campfires are allowed, and guests loved the views. Showers are good, but bring torches as some areas lack light. A few improvements noted: better signage, more lighting, and a cafe. Great value, highly recommended.

Best site in the area – spacious, great facilities, lovely owners!
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked The site is spacious with multiple toilet blocks, and there’s a pub within walking distance. The location is fantastic, with the option to hire a fire pit and purchase logs. The owners are genuinely lovely, and overall, I couldn’t recommend this place more. By far the best site we’ve stayed at in this area over the last three years.
Disliked Nothing

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Large, uncrowded, flat fields.
Good showers and toilets, and enough of them that queueing wasn't a problem.
Picturesque location under the Osmington White Horse.
Affordable for a single traveller when many other campsites aren't.
Disliked More bins please.

Really nice, big campsite with clean facilities
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked really big campsite (3 big fields), decent showers and toilets, can pitch up your tent anywhere on the fields, owners really friendly and welcoming, lots of animals around to see and hear, freezers available for food and ice packs.
Disliked Only a couple of toilets and even less showers so get busy quick, it was fine for us because our tent was right next to the gate but would be a shame if you’re on a field much further away and they’re all being used.

From the manager: We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us, I think you must have missed some of the toilets and shower facilities.
We have two blocks one each end of the campsite.
6 Toilets and 6 Showers this end.
5 Toilets and 4 showers at the other end in the woods.
Also a toilet at reception.
Hopefully see you next year.
