Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Perfect for a cheeky last minute booking. Owner was lovely and approachable.
Disliked: Showers no thermostat and temp pretty hot and the spray of the head not too easy to wash hair. Let’s face it I was glad to have a shower none the less.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Space - loads and loads of space Quiet area, quiet campsite, no loud music after 10pm Showers had lovely hot water Able to have the car next to the pitch. Host friendly and helpful.
Disliked: Showers - not great drainage which meant floor flooded making getting dressed very very tricky - didn’t even attempt to shower the children 😂 Toilets - basic but no option of separate male/female toilets. Not usually an issue but toilet block quite quiet and can be isolated. With two almost teenage girls and the site having a few groups of young men didn’t feel comfortable allowing girls the freedom to go to the toilet by themselves. Grass - again basic and not a massive issue - slightly too long 😂 when it’s wet (every day!) made it difficult to cross the campsite with our carrying 1/2 the field back with you.

Liked: Enough toilets and showers
Disliked: The grass is too long so in the morning and evening it’s unpleasand to walk. A small part of the grass is cut (in front of toilet) , but is still lying there. There is no equipment to clean the floor after showering or using toilet.

Liked: We loved it here. The toilets and showers were clean, there is a freezer that can be used as well. Spacious level pitches. That's it. Perfect location to explore local gems - Doordle Door, Lulworth cave, Fossil Forest. 15 minutes away from Weymouth.
Disliked: There was nothing to dislike for us.
