Lisa P.

Bell tent

Liked We loved our stay at Buddens over the August bank holiday weekend. The bell tent we stayed in gave us plenty of space for a family of 4 and the beds were comfortable. This place is perfect for families with lots of activities on offer. We did kayaking and zip lining and our kids loved it. They also have plenty of space for ball games and have a volleyball court. The shower/toilet facilities were kept really clean. The staff were super friendly and very helpful. It’s the perfect spot for exploring the Jurassic coast.

Disliked The ants were annoying but hey that’s camping! It won’t deter us from returning.

Sarah C.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Really lovely quiet site. Very spacious. Proper toilet and shower blocks. Washing up area. The activities are great - very good prices. The staff were so friendly and helpful.

Disliked The toilets and showers weren't the cleanest but they did come around cleaning them at least once a day. Maybe should have been more??
We almost got stranded in Wareham, as they do not have many taxi's around.

Mohammad M.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked I styaed here with my wife and noticed it's a great place to take children rather than a couple campsite.

So many activities available to do depending on the day and costs around £12 each.

Shower and toilet facilities were clean and lots of fire pits to use for campfires.

There's WiFi at the reception if you want to stay connected otherwise the signal isn't the best at the campsite.

The area is close to a lot of attractions like Bournemouth and Durdle door.

Disliked I thought it was a bit expensive for a campsite compared to others o jave been however this is one of the biggest campsites and they need to cover the cost of the numerous staff so it's understandable.
They can't help it but there are lots of ants which I've never experienced in camping before. Next time if i return I would bring bug spray.

Local attractions

The ruins of Corfe Castle (15 minutes’ drive) perch atop a hill overlooking the Purbeck peninsula, and on a clear day, you can see as far as the Isle of Wight. Audio posts scattered throughout the remains explain the history of this centuries-old structure. If you prefer your castles in pristine conditions, you can head to Lulworth (15 minutes), built in the 1600s as a royal hunting lodge. At any time of year, the Blue Pool (15 minutes) draws visitors with its changing colours and splendid woodland location. Walk the surrounding trails or stop for a picnic on the shaded banks; if you’re visiting in the winter months, check out the illuminations (and music) lighting up the paths. You can join the South West Coast Path at West Lulworth (20 minutes) and stroll on the cliffs of the Jurassic Coast, stopping at sheltered coves like ​​Man O’War Beach, admiring the natural arch at Durdle Door, and checking out the unusual rock formations at Fossil Forest.
