Lovely campsite stayed one night on way to Cornwall wish we stayed longer, kids loved the fishing, toilets and shower very clean, owners very welcoming, and very helpful

Nothing

A beautiful site, with lovely flower beds, woodland walks and fishing lakes. A peaceful site, the managers were friendly and frequently walked the site and all the woodland paths to ensure everything was clean and tidy. The grass pitches themselves were lovely and green - not worn out.

There was a lack of recycling, only cardboard, so we had to take all our recycling home. The toilet facilities were clean but rather dated and we would have liked individual washing cubicles rather than communal basins.

Lovely owners Mandy & Phil
Shop for essentials
Affordable fishing
Beautiful woods
Pretty flowers
This site is very well maintained, lovely flowers around the site. Our few days were very peaceful & relaxing.
The owners are lovely so friendly.
The fishing is great & affordable, But it is a free for all. You’ll have to get up early to get the spot near your van. Or venture off to the other lakes. They’re all a good size. There is a 20p charge for the showers. Which are very spacious & clean with a seat. (I would say 40p if you’re washing long hair)20p for the hot water. All very affordable.
We had the motorhome spot on the kingfisher lake. No 8
Definitely a nice relaxing & peaceful break for us. Dog friendly too. This site is one of the most cleanest sites I’ve been too,where everyone cleans up after their dogs. The woods are beautiful about a 20 min walk round & then you can add on the lakes to make the walk longer. There’s fruit trees on the entrance,you’re allowed to help yourself to the fruit.
Absolutely a beautiful site
Thank you Mandy & Phil for a lovely stay.

Leaving

Friendly management, very well kept site with lovely lakes and good fishing. The guys that run the place are very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The site has a really relaxed feel but they obviously take care of the fish and the lakes. Although the showers are 20p there is plenty of time and hot water to get it done. Toilets are cleaned regularly and always in respectable shape. Will definitely return .

Stock in the shop was very limited.

A Wonderful Stay at Lyons Gate Campsite!

We had a fantastic time at Lyons Gate Campsite! The setting is absolutely beautiful—surrounded by peaceful countryside and plenty of open space to relax. The facilities were spotless and well-maintained, especially the showers and toilets which were always clean.

Phil and Mandy were incredibly friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived, making check-in quick and easy. There’s a lovely little shop on-site for essentials.

It’s the perfect mix of being close to nature while still having everything you need for a comfortable stay. We’ll definitely be coming back—highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, friendly getaway in Dorset!

Very welcoming site .. Phil and Wendy made us fill part of the family nothing was ever too much trouble. The boys absolutely loved the fishing and so did husband . Fishing for beginners young lad and for the experience fishers. Nice and chilled site .

Only disadvantage was 20p for hot water when washing up dishes.

Phil and Mandy were very friendly and helpful. A clean well looked after site. A good centre for walking the local footpaths.
