What customers say
Spacious, well-kept campsite in lovely woods/fields with loads of pitch options. Facilities (showers, loos) are super clean. Shop & cafe are lekker. Staff are friendly. Mostly quiet, but can get a bit noisy during busy times. Great base for exploring the area.

From the manager: Thank you for leaving us a great review.
Facilities were good in the central cabin.
Open Field non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked The spaciousness. It is a huge campsite spread over a number of open fields and woodland. Nice walks and safe cycle rides around Purbeck to Studlands. Good facilities in the central cabin and there were portaloos spread around the huge site. There was a reasonably priced burger and pizza hut on site which seemed to be very busy for dinners and breakfasts. The woodland camping area was more packed with campers and unavailable to us but the fields were very spacious and great for children playing games. Very nice campsite.
Disliked Nothing

Main non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Good location within a few miles of Swanage, Corfe Castle and many of the Dorset attractions.
Family friendly and has a very safe feel.
Shop was reasonably stocked and priced
Staff were helpful
Toilet/shower block was clean
Coffee and Bacon rolls were very good
Good price
We would all happily stay again
Disliked Recycling centre was overfilling with rubbish at times.
Another tumble drier would be useful. There are 2 washing machines and 1 dryer. All reasonable priced but I ended waiting round for access to the dryer.

Avoid the open camping field
Open Field non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Flat ground, free showers, small park for the kids.
Disliked The portaloo’s in the open camping field need cleaning and restocking far more (which didn’t happen despite us asking) - lots of times they had run out of loo roll, hand sanitiser and were filthy. The weekend 25-27 July was rammed - far too many pitches were sold which spoiled it somewhat but when quieter it was much more pleasant. The food for sale is expensive for what it is - definitely frozen burgers! Fire pit hire at £8 a night is pretty disgraceful too, many other sites are free of charge. I suspect the good reviews probably come from the main site where the facilities are much, much better versus the open field which is quite expensive for what it is.

Great open plan campsite that is well maintained
Main non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked We stayed in the Main Campsite which is much smaller than the open fields and has more shade.
The facilities are kept very clean, good hot showers, shop is well stocked with daily bread deliveries including croissants and the Snack Shak serves breakfast baps and evening burgers and pizza.
There are no marked pitches except for the few electric hookups so you can settle where you like and groups can go together.
Lots to do nearby including a short ferry to Sandbanks beach

From the manager: What a great review, thank you so much.
Friendly staff and level pitches
Open Field non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Friendly and helpful. Showers free and clean. Facilities adequate but a long walk from our pitch.
Local attractions fabulous
Disliked Portaloo’s needed more regular cleaning.
Also , and this is not the sites fault, but a fellow camper lost control of her dog (it was off lead) and it attacked ours who was on the lead and by our van.

Open Field non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Loved our night here. Staff were super friendly and helpful. The campsite had a lovely safe, fun vibe.
Disliked We were a little confused on arrival quite were to pitch but I think that’s mainly because we are newbies to van life.
