What customers say
This campsite offers a peaceful retreat with great views & access to the South West Coast Path and Swanage. Guests loved the clean facilities, friendly staff, and cafe. The adventure farm is a hit with kids. Some noted slightly sloped pitches & shower tokens. Popular for walkers & families wanting a relaxed vibe.

Good views. The adventure farm has tons to offer. Lots of animals…
Primitive grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Good views. The adventure farm has tons to offer. Lots of animals to see. Goat feeding was excellent. Shop/cafe had nice craft beer to top up with. Great outdoor play area with trampoline, pedal go cart and more. Great big indoor soft play. Really had a lovely time on this campsite. For the adventure farm you get a wristband so you can go in and out to have lunch in your campervan on the camping field, if you wish for example.
Disliked Field is a bit slopey.

We enjoyed our stay!
Primitive grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked - not overcrowded
- toilet block kept clean and tidy
-fantastic access to the south west coast path
- walking distance to Swanage along an easy route.
- cafe on site
-my daughter loved going past the pigs on the way in and out of the camping field.
Disliked - I feel like instructions as to what to do if no one is in the cafe for check in could be clearer. I rang the number provided by pitch up so it was fine, but there were several other parties who turned up and were also confused upon arrival.
