The site is down round to the right.

Toilets good.

A aimé : Location is great, views of Corfe Castle & the Stream train when it passes.

Showers were good and hot with hot water never running out.

Easy short walk across the fields to Harman Cross station on the Swanage Railway line.

Nice traffic free walk across the fields into Corfe Castle

Quiet campsite - you can hear the road in the day, but it wasn't really noticeable at night & we were in the field closest to the road - if you are in the field beyond the first one I doubt you'll notice it.

N'a pas aimé: Washing up is cold water only - just boil some and take it with you is what I did!

If in a camper van you will need chocks as the camping areas are sloping (I've clearly been too spoilt with flat camp grounds it seems!)

A aimé : - Location
- Size of fields to choose from
- Views of Corfe castle from the top of the field.

N'a pas aimé: - Having to phone the owners on arrival......but no answer.
- No indication as to what facilities we could and couldn't use until last day when we had been using the 'couldn't use as they were for land and wave people only facilities'.
- Owner not very talkative and didn't welcome us to her site. Just took my name and number plate and drove off.

A aimé : Lots of space in the field. Good toilet facilities. We didn’t use the washing up facilities but they were there. Good spot to watch the stars. The woman who runs it is very friendly. Thank you!

N'a pas aimé: Field is quite hilly so not many level spots but we found it fine.

A aimé : Very big field to pop up the tents, stay with a van etc. Communication to the host was good. Toilets were okay and proper places for dish washing. A good place for interim stop and visit the lovely town Corfe Castle.

A aimé : - Easy to access and check in
- Clean toilets and showers
- Plenty of washing up sinks
- Clothes line for drying (bring your own pegs)
- Quiet
- Good location

N'a pas aimé: - The toilet block has several very bright outward facing lights at night time.
- Understand why they are there, but could they be changed so not as light polluting at night time.
- You can hear main road from campsite during the day.

A aimé : Lovely view of Corfe Castle and approx a 35 min walk. Nice to be able to park where you want. Didn't use facilities as in a motorhome.

A aimé : I have camped here before so I knew what to expect. Spacious pitch in a large field. The toilets and showers shown on the website are very misleading, they are a private campsite nearby. The actual showers/toilets are ok but quite basic
Good value and a nice area to explore

N'a pas aimé: The shower units need attention

A aimé : We loved this site. Great to be able to choose where we could pitch, very hot showers which was lovely. It took us 25 mins to walk to the pub via a lovely scenic path, directly out of the campsite. We had a fire both nights of our stay - we really liked the fact that they do ‘log-runs’ between 7 and 8pm. Just the kind of getaway we wanted.

N'a pas aimé: As others have said, hot water for washing up would have been great - but you could always boil water and take it down with you!
