Liked: The owner, Jim, was very friendly and he kept the campsite clean and visited frequently. A lovely campsite that was quiet a view of the surrounding countryside. It was mostly flat with plenty of space. We were travelling with a Tentbox

Liked: The campsite owner is a lovely chap, couldn't be more helpful. Campsite is peaceful and in a lovely location. The fields around the site have been rewilded and there is plenty of space so you aren't on top of one another. Showers and toilets were clean. If you like old school, no frills campsites then this is for you!

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: We chose this site for it’s good facilities, quiet location and country views and were not disappointed. The owner, Jim, is a very considerate person who made sure to check we were enjoying our stay and came round to say goodbye on the day of leaving. The site wasn’t too busy and with two fields to camp - separated by hedges - we felt we had our own private spot. The facilities were good, separate male and female toilets/sink and good sized wetroom-style showers that stayed hot! Ideal location for dinosaur stuff, approx 30-40 minutes drive to Charmouth Beach, Spyway Footprints and Etches Collection Museum.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: A great, simple campsite. A couple of big fields with plenty of space, and very clean, comfortable shower and toilet blocks. The owner - Jim - is very attentive and friendly and full of useful information about local services. Close to the local village, with shop and pub, and easy to get to local attractions. Compared to other campsites in the area also not too exposed to the wind!
Disliked: Nothing!

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: The site is beautiful, quiet and simply set up. Basic showers but with hooks, lots of space and hot water. Clean toilets and the site owner is very helpful and friendly. He obviously takes pride in the place and wants people to have a nice time. Great walks from here and lots of places easy to get to by car too. A Spar not far away. And a pub. Both easy walking distance.
