Very pretty setting with basic facilities and maybe a bit overpriced.

Aug 2026

Liked Lovely setting and 24hr access via a code was really helpful. Nice to have a shower and refill water.

Disliked A bit rickety for the price - camping facilities more like a £15/night site but charging £25. All fine, just a lower quality than I expected for the price. Doors on loo/shower block don't lock well, shower was low pressure and would benefit from an upgrade, handle had been removed from tap next to loo/shower block but with no sign saying where alternative was.

From the manager: Hello, I’m sorry to hear that you felt the facilities didn’t represent good value for your stay. We do try very hard to keep our camping prices affordable. A £25 pitch leaves us with around £17 after VAT and booking fees, from which we maintain the grounds, have the toilets and showers professionally cleaned every other day and maintain the site's waste facilities. You are absolutely right about the water pressure. Dorset has experienced extremely dry conditions this summer and, being a rural site, our water supply suffered at times. We are already looking at upgrading our pump system to improve pressure for future guests. We've also experienced some warping to doors and timber around the site during the recent extreme heat, so the issue with the toilet/shower doors is something we have been address all season. The tap handle was removed because people would leave the tap running, which burns out the pump motor that feeds that shower block from the main site. There is a small sink and tap on the main field. As a small independent site, it is disappointing when someone leaves feeling they haven't received good value. We deliberately keep our camping and accommodation prices relatively low. Thank you for taking the time to leave the feedback.

Outstanding location and an excellent site with great clean facilities

Jun 2023

Liked Amazing panoramic views from almost all of the site and very good, clean facilities. Powerful hot showers, well-maintained compost toilets, washing-up area, small shop and even a bar on Saturday night. The site is easy to access by car and yet far enough from roads that there was no road noise, just the sounds of other campers having fun gently wafting across on the breeze. The team on site were really helpful and friendly, sent great communication out in the week before the stay and gave us tips on beaches that would be less busy.
