Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked We loved our stay at this campsite and would happily return (and actually booked another stay before we’d left!) It was easy to find with helpful directions listed on the site booking, and the location was perfect for exploring the surrounding area, with plenty to see and do nearby.
Jim, the owner, was fantastic. He took the time to personally welcome us, checked in to make sure we had everything we needed, and made a point of greeting and saying goodbye to all of his guests. His friendly, personal approach really made our stay feel special and was a massive factor into why we booked this campsite in the first place with such positive reviews!
The facilities were simple but clean, well maintained, and exactly what you need for a comfortable camping trip. Overall, it’s a wonderful campsite with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that we would highly recommend. We can’t wait to be back!

A great place and we will definitely return.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Campsite is basic but has running water, showers, toilets and sinks. The location is amazing, the village is a 10 minute walk and the pub is very family friendly.
Great big open space for the kids to run around.
The owner, Jim, is probably the nicest guy you'll ever meet. He popped on to site every day for a chat and to make sure there were no issues.
Disliked Nothing!!

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Just home after a perfect weekend away at Chalk Meadow campsite!
What can I say - a beautiful site, remote as anything and perfectly located for those wanting to visit surrounding areas. We visited Durdle Door, Weymouth and Moreton ford, they were all exceptional. The campsite itself is simple but wonderfully effective. Perfect space for children and doggy to run free all weekend, clean toilets, showers and sinks for washing up. What more do you need? Jim, the owner, popped in daily for a little check in and chat. Such a lovely man. We’ve come back to London and miss it already! Will be returning ASAP. Thank you Jim! Issy (bell tent) x
