What customers say
Great views, quiet vibes, and plenty of room on site. Friendly staff, tasty cafe food, and a top spot for exploring Swanage. Facilities are basic but clean, though some mention shower tokens. A few found pitches sloped or busy, but most loved it and plan to go back.

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.

Unpowered grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent site
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.

Cafe lovely, good range of food options and camping gear if you need tent pegs, sleeping bag etc they have it. The breakfasts looked amazing.
Disliked There is a slight incline but its not impossible to find a flat area on outside of field. Can't really say its a dislike. But that is the only thing that comes to mind.
