Mike C. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Unpowered grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked: Really nice views and the staff are absolutely lovely. Fun being next to the adventure park, although not cheap (around £10 for a child and same for adult) so I wouldn’t have gone more than once.

Disliked: Fairly basic facilities and not hugely well looked after. No loo roll in any of the ladies toilets the whole time we were there. Need to buy a shower token when reception is open which limits when you can take one. Listing does mention extra fee for farm, but they could definitely make it clearer.

Unpowered grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked: Basic site. Very quiet. Close to bus stop and town/beach. Friendly staff. Lovely views.

Disliked: Not so much disliked but feel the facilities could do with a update. The showers need a shelf for toiletries and a handrier would be good as nothing to dry hands after visiting toilet.

Graham B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Unpowered grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked: Quiet site with beautiful views. Lots of places to visit within 10 mins drive and a great pub just 5 mins walk away. Activity farm on site was a hit with the kids. Raised fire pits allowed so a cozy fire and marshmallows each night. We'll come back and stay for more than 2 nights next time!

Disliked: Only 7-8 pitches when we were there meant no queues for the (two) showers. I can see this may become frustrating if busier. Would be really helpful if the shop stocked some camping basics - always something forgotten!

Local attractions

With a long sandy beach and shallow waters, Swanage is a popular destination for a family day at the seaside. And when you’re all beached out, you can head to Prince Albert Gardens for views of the Victorian pier and Swanage Bay, or take a ride on the Swanage Railway's heritage trains all the way to Corfe Castle and beyond. Overlooked by the ruins of 11th-century Corfe Castle, Dorset Adventure Park (10 minutes’ drive) is the place to get wet (at the inflatable water park) and/or muddy (at the assault course with cargo nets, monkey bars and mud slides). If you’re into militaria, you'll likely appreciate the displays at The Tank Museum (25 minutes), which include armoured vehicles from both World Wars, plus other conflicts like the wars in the Gulf and Afghanistan. You can see these tanks moving in the open-air arena during special events such as mock battles.
