What customers say
Lovely, peaceful campsite with a popular lake. Praised for spacious pitches, clean facilities, and friendly staff. Cafe & pub nearby. Relaxed vibe, but expect queues at peak times. Great for families and dogs.

Fantastic camp site deep in the Dorset Hills. Very friendly and helpful…
Unpowered grass site
Liked Fantastic camp site deep in the Dorset Hills.
Very friendly and helpful staff, booked for one night online and managed to stay another night, two in total.
The lake is fantastic for swimming and paddle boarding and the cafe is a nice touch to the camp site.
I invested in a tentbox and camped out with my son which he enjoyed making new friends too.

Brilliant siite, beautiful surroundings, great location. Clean.
Unpowered grass site
Liked The small size of the site, the spotless and modern toilet and shower block. The lake was a fantastic addition and the cafe had Ibiza vibes.
Disliked The showers could have been more powerful. On the first day we were told where we could pitch our tent ie around the outside, but on the second day people were pitched all over the place. The cafe staff need to be trained how to make a flat white coffee!

Fantastic campsite, amazing lake - just avoid the cafe!
Unpowered grass site
Liked Campsite overall was fantastic!
Really helpful staff, immaculately kept and clean, loads of space for pitches and wonderfully relaxed - yes the water pressure dips in and out a bit when busy but perfectly manageable to have a shower and totally avoidable if you just go when its not peak time.
The lake is fantastic and we all had an amazing time swimming and paddleboarding each afternoon after visiting local areas in the morning :-) a cold water swim early morning whilst i is quiet is highly recommended!
The area itself is beautiful, from the stunning hill views from the site to the windy roads and thatched villages down to the amazing beaches - just perfect!
Disliked The cafe! Went in twice during our stay and it was sadly awful both times which is a shame as the food is really lovely. The staff however are all very young and more interested in chatting amongst themselves than serving with any efficiency. 45 minutes for 6 take away toasted sandwiches we waited! The girl that seems to be in charge of serving is also very abrupt and rude and made it very clear she wasn't happy about serving us at 14:15 when they shut at 15:00! SO frustrating as it is a beautiful cafe and setting and the menu is nice so we would have quite happily been in for breakfast/lunch each day had it been efficiently run.
We did have very noisy neighbours with lots of children running riot towards the end of our stay and nothing was done about upholding the curfew sadly which was a little frustrating when we always make sure our children are quiet by a respectful time

Liked Staff friendliess, the lake, pretty quiet, lovely location.
Disliked Somewhere to freeze ice packs / charge phones would be handy. No warden overnight so not all rules were enforced. No wifi.
