What customers say

Edwards Farm: Peaceful, well-kept camping with great country views. Friendly owner, clean basic facilities (solar showers, portaloos). Spacious pitches, fire pits. Good base for Shaftesbury, though the walk is steep. Showers a bit exposed, logs pricey. Highly recommended, guests want to return.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Lovely quiet site with plenty of space.
Level pitches.
Clean toilets and a sink for cleaning teeth.
The teenagers particularly liked the USB charging points in the welcome hut! This made charging phones much easier!
Alex the farmer is very friendly, helpful and kind.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Beautiful site with good sized pitches.
The hedgerows offered a little privacy between pitches which was good…. Plus the blackberries were plentiful and tasty!
Lovely and peaceful but close enough to walk to Shaftesbury or take a quick drive for essentials…… yummy bakery!
Toilets and showers were basic but clean.
We enjoyed the evening fires and the wood was well seasoned.
Alex was very welcoming and helpful. His dog was also a delight! Thanks so much for a lovely few days… despite the changeable weather.

Liked Lovely quiet campsite, basic but clean facilities, great location. Pitches are a very generous size and we were able to park next to our tent. Owner is very friendly and helpful which is always appreciated.

Disliked Nothing - campsite is as described so we got exactly what we were expecting.

Primitive grass trailer tent campsite

Liked A lovely place too stay..for a family or couples. Alex was very welcoming..fire pit ready on our arrival and logs if needed..
The space we chose was private..showers easy too use if needed and run off solar ..brilliant set up Alex ..

From the manager: Thanks for your comments , much appreciated. Sort of wondering what you didn't like to give the site an 8/10. Maybe the lack of facilities? I do need to remind anyone booking we are a simple site, off grid, in a small field. We do not have any games rooms or other activities, apart from an abundance of quiet nature and countryside.

Lovely back to basics site with everything you need, minus the crowds!

Julie W.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked The peace and quiet, the views, Alex's friendly welcome, the proximity to Shaftesbury....everything!
The portaloos were kept clean and didn't smell - so if you've only ever used them at a festival, fear not, these are much more pleasant. We were lucky to have sunny, warm weather so the solar-powered hot water worked for us and I enjoyed warm showers with a view.
Great places to visit nearby (Shaftesbury is beautiful - highly recommend the Lido for a swim) and the dark skies provided amazing stargazing opportunities. We had a brilliant bank holiday weekend, thank you Alex!

Disliked Nothing.

Local attractions

A visit to Shaftesbury is sure to be on the cards when staying at this site – the historic town is a mere mile away, so you can easily go off on a wander around the shops or get up to Gold Hill in the centre for views across the vale. If stretching the legs isn’t really for you, admire animals instead at Longleat House (half an hour’s drive) and Monkey World (40 minutes). Those more culturally curious can navigate their way towards National Trust attractions like Stourhead (20 minutes), King Alfred's Tower (half an hour) and Montacute House (45 minutes) or skedaddle to the ancient site of Stonehenge (35 minutes) to gaze at the granddaddy of all things historical. Keen for the coast? Peruse the seaside around Poole (50 minutes) and Bournemouth (an hour), perhaps heading off on an amble between the two; urban explores are to be had around Bath’s Roman ruins (55 minutes), at Salisbury’s high-spired cathedral (50 minutes) or closer by at the abbey in the pretty settlement of Sherborne (half an hour).
