Pilsdon View Camping

Liked Loved this place SO much. It's very country cottage core and pretty. Fabulous for families! The tyre rope swing on a gorgeous old oak tree was so cool! There is also a runner bean wigwam to hide in and toys near reception to play with (for the kids). Be careful on the unicycle, lol. April, Terry and the other blonde chap who dish out the fire pits are so lovely, welcoming and friendly. There is a dog exercise area which is enclosed and out of they way, the only one thing I would comment is some dogs could possibly jump the fence as it is only around 3ft roughly. It completely depends on your dogs agility. The shower 'shed' in the middle of the main field has a stunning rose growing up the side of it. The showers themselves are fab, free to use as and when you wish (no 50p top up fee) and it's a big rainfall showerhead. Toilets are great, lights are on during the night which is a bonus so you can see where you are heading. Its £6 for a big bag of firewood, the firepit, wood and paving slab are delivered to your tent. April has a card reader on hand if you have no cash. The food van (Jurrasic Pork 😆) is fantastic! The food is delicious. They have a good selection on the menu and are really friendly. The setting is beautiful. We will definitely be returning here next time we are down in Dorset.

Liked Truly a lovely campsite. Warm welcome. Spacious pitches meant you could find calm and peacefulness amongst the families and children. We loved the clean and well stocked facilities. The grounds were immaculate and they really had everything.

Disliked Nothing! - Just drive carefully on the Dorset countryside roads.

Liked Great open campsite. Owners very affable and friendly. Ground rules suited us very well; campsite was serene and peaceful with the occasional sound of children having fun. A family atmosphere with bikes for children to borrow and a tyre swing for them to use. An acceptable on-site refreshment van selling breakfasts burgers and drinks great for those times when we didn't cook ourselves and open in the evening as well.
Toilets clean, showers excellent and fire pits available to use.
Although no wifi there was a good 4G internet connection.
All in all we had a fantastic break; of course the weather helped!

Disliked Would have liked good quality wifi but hey you can't have it all!

Liked Wonderful quiet, friendly site! The addition of the food van on site was a lovely touch, and was well priced.
We only had a short stay this time as it was a fairly spontaneous booking, but already looking forward to coming back!
The bell tent was neat, tidy and well maintained.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your visit and review. We are very happy to see our guests fr short or long stays. Our bell tents can be booked for one night only if required.

Liked Loved this site, read lots of comments about the owners Terry and April and they are true great hosts, a lovely welcome and a simple but well maintained site. A perfect place to chill with friends a night.

Having food truck on site was a real bonus, the pork and apple burger was lovely.

We enjoyed the fire pit and really convenient being able to buy wood on onsite. We also visited Furleigh Estate Vineyard which was less than 10 mins drive from site - really lovely setting and tried some delicious wines for £10.00

Clean facilities (decent showers which is always a plus to me), attentive owners, simple set up and beautiful scenery - what's not too like :-)

Disliked Nothing

From the manager: Thank you so much for your visit and for taking the time to write this lovely review. Jurassic Pork is a great partner for us, and I agree, the park and apple burger is delicious.

Liked Very clean and spacious. Warm welcome on arrival. Facilities were clean and showers warm. The food truck was a lovely perk and staff were really sweet with our one year old. Campsite was generally quiet from about 9pm.
