What customers say

Amazing sea views, peaceful setting. Friendly staff, clean facilities & loads of space. Great for a wilder, back-to-basics experience. Some say it's basic & can be windy, but most highly recommend it and want to come back.

Florentina D.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (basic, wild)

Liked I can't fault anything.
It's always nice to visit and camp at Sweet Hill Farm.

Disliked The wood for the burner was either too thick or still damp as it was smoking and not really catching fire. Everyone around camp seemed to have the same problem. We just smoked each other out.
The smaller wood chippings were great.

Davide C.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (basic, wild)

Liked Posizione e vista

Disliked Totale mancanza di servizi per camper (no scarico acque nere e grigie). Servizi inaccettabili (wc chimici come quelli usati nellle fiere). Alcune aree sembrano state oggetto di bombardamento.

Liked Traumhafte Lage, viel Platz, nette Menschen und viele Pferde.
Dusche okay(kostet extra).

Disliked Leider nur Dixi Toiletten, die öfters gereinigt werden sollten. Und eine Klobürste wäre vorteilhaft(wenn die Leute sie dann benutzen)
Wi haben gesehen dass manche Plätze Strom haben - wurde uns nicht angeboten. War aber okay...

Local attractions

OK folks, it's time to come clean – there's a road bridge between the Isle of Portland and the mainland, meaning that any boat trips you make while here will be purely optional. That said, you can't go far wrong with a sailing jaunt around Weymouth Bay – head to Portland harbour (10 minutes' drive) to set sail on an organised yacht cruise, or, if you’ve got some experience, to charter a vessel of your own. While hanging around the northern part of the island, swing by historic sites like Portland Castle and Castletown D-Day Centre (both 10 minutes), or make your way to Chesil Beach (10 minutes), a rather rugged stretch of shingle that runs for miles alongside the gorgeous Fleet lagoon. Beaches more suitable for bathing include Church Ope Cove (five minutes' drive or half an hour on foot), a secluded cove overlooked by the ruins of Rufus Castle. Weymouth (25 minutes' drive) has bigger and sandier beaches that are well-suited to those bucket and spade days.
