Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: This was by far my favourite camping site in England as a solo traveller with a tent and a motorbike. The hedge on two sides offered good wind protection and the view of the neighbouring farms on the open side was a lovely extra. This camping site had the best sanitary facilities so far, with plenty of space and more than just utilitarian optics. The showers were private and spacious. I didn't feel invaded in my privacy like at some other camping sites, which also cost much more than Chalk Meadow.
Most important of all, I had great communication with the owner Jim, who made sure to confirm the booking per text, and was outstandingly helpful and friendly. I would love to stay here again some time in the future.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Absolutely loved this site- beautiful open spaces in a quiet, sheltered position yet nicely placed to get to lots of hiking spaces around Dorset.
Amenities whilst simple were perfect, adding to the charm of the site. But the greatest asset is Jim - always on hand for a chat and to help with any issues.
Definitely be heading back again

Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked: Easy to find, great quiet location with an easy waly to the local shop, agricultural surroundings with a working feel.
Jim (Site Owner) is really the best and is very attentive to the site and facilities.
Toilets and showers were well used but very useable and always well stocked.
Owls can be heard at night and the surrounding hedgerow seems to be bristling with wildlife.
Disliked: Having to go home after a wonderful stay.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: It was absolutely fantastic. The location is stunning — surrounded by trees, made for the perfect spot to relax and stargazing. Beautiful quiet area, well maintained, spacious, no depart time so you can sleep a little bit longer. The amenities were clean well-kept restrooms and basic but hot showers, which is always a bonus when you’re out in nature. The owner was warm, welcoming, and always available to help with anything we needed, You can tell he take real pride in keeping the grounds beautiful and ensuring guests have a great experience.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike.
