  • Landlig sted i Dorset 12 km fra Dorchester og 25 km fra kysten
  • Skattejakt-løyper og gangstier noen få skritt unna
  • Rett over 1,6 km fra puber, en tesalong og en butikk i Cerne Abbas
Warning! A trip to ancient Cerne Abbas may leave you with a mammoth yearning never to leave: the Dorset village has been described as the ‘Britain’s most desirable village’ to live among the UK’s scenic many. It’s eight miles from Dorchester, within day-tripping distance of the Jurassic Coast and, most famously, is where the 180ft Cerne Abbas Giant doth dwell high up on the hillside. (Yes, the naughty giant with no sense of shyness.) Around a 40-minute stroll from Cerne Abbas is the mightily convenient Giants Head Caravan & Camping Park, a family- and dog-friendly site over three and a half acres with grassy pitches, immense views over the Dorset countryside and thumping good access to the best of Dorset. Countryside walks, as well as treasure trails, literally start within steps of the pitches: Giants Head has several planned walks straight from the park, and runs Treasure Trails Dorset directly from it so intrepid guests can pick up one or two of the 50+ trail packs and take off on the hunt for hidden gems. Sounds like a towering amount of fun… As befits its location, everything at Giants Head is kept nicely natural – think mature trees, hedgerows and trim lawns; and the level or gently sloping pitches are variously secluded, shady or open (there’s also a special tail-wagging area for campers with canines). All parts of the park are well-drained and a hard road leads to pitches. Amenities include showers, hand basins, laundry and washing-up areas; the park doesn’t have a shop, but a well-stocked village store, a tearoom and three pubs are in Cerne Abbas, a mile and a quarter away.

Dette sier kundene

Vennlige eiere, rene fasiliteter og vakre omgivelser roses. Til tross for noe eldre fasiliteter, holdes de rene. Støy fra veien og skrånende plasser nevnes. Forbedringer, inkludert renovert toalettbygg og utjevning av plasser, er nylig rapportert. Et godt utgangspunkt for å utforske lokalområdet.

Likte Great campsite… owner was really helpful and had a really good pitch. Do reccomend the treasure trail aswell. Showers were good, washing area and toilets were clean. A lot of people mention the Noise from the road - didn’t hear it

Likte ikke N/a

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your lovely review, I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.

Glad you had fun with the treasure trail, they are available all around the UK, you can find more on the treasure trails website.

We do try and keep on top of the cleaning in our toilet and shower block, the block is new so is easy to keep clean.

Look forward to seeing you both again soon.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your review.

We are sorry that the road noise caused you a bit of a problem, it is only a C road but can be busy during the day.

Unfortunately all our pitches away from the road were already booked. It is always a good idea not to make a late booking during the school holidays, the best pitches are always booked a while in advance.

Lovely friendly site.

We try and keep our facilities nice and clean, this is a lot easier now with our lovely new toilet block.
There are lots of great places to visit and some not very well known.
And yes, we do have some great views across the downs.

The road can be a little noisy at this time of the year with a few tractors and farm vehicles going by.

We look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Hope to see you again soon.

Likte I liked that there was a clean toilet block, on the county trail system, and plenty of space to park and use any brought items. The service was great, helpful and even gave notice when they would and wouldn't be around. On one morning we saw a stag, and lots of birdlife.

Likte ikke As other reviews will confirm, there is constant motor noise from the road, the site is built completely for caravans and RVs which makes pitch tent camping unusual even with an electricity plug adapter, and service / food amenities are driving distances away. I also wish that fires / pits were allowed.

Anbefal til venner Besøker gjerne igjen

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us.

Fortunately you had a pitch at the quiet area of the site, far away from road so it shouldn't have bothered you too much.

Our site is not just for caravans and RVs, we have lots of areas for tents all close to HU points.

The village of Cerne Abbas is about one and a half miles away and is walkable along the Wessex Ridgeway, however it is a little steep coming back up the hill from the village.

We do allow fire pits and BBQs but they do need to be kept off of the ground so not to cause a fire or burn the ground.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday around th eUK.

Likte We only stayed for 30 minutes and left as below

Likte ikke We arrived here this evening and left within 30 mins , I’ve seen excellent reviews on here previously hence the booking , the chap that showed us the pitch was very helpful but I was disappointed the pitch grass was very long and untidy and he also mentioned some contractors staying in the middle that might be a bit noisy later on , we have relocated to Lyon’s Gate and to be honest it’s on another level to the previous site.

Anbefal til venner Besøker gjerne igjen

Fra bestyreren: This is my second reply to another of your reviews:-

You did mention when you checked in that you had only just bought your campervan and this was your very first trip.

I am sorry the grass is a little long , unfortunately we have not been able to mow the grass because of the wet weather, our mowers do not cut grass very well in the wet.

I think you may have misheard my son, who checked you in, there are a few caravans on site which belong to contractors but as they are not here on site at the moment I'm not sure how they would have been noisy.

I hope you liked Lyons Gate, my friends run this site and it is lovely.

Lokale attraksjoner

If you have giggling kids along with you – and even if you don’t – a trip to the well-endowed and world-famed Cerne Abbas Giant is most visitors’ first stop, if only to buy a postcard (it’s been noted that postcards of the Giant are the only images of a naked man that can be sent via the Post Office). The man himself is now tended by the National Trust, which has a waymarked circular trail around the site from Cerne Abbas village. Dorchester is an excellent early stop for urbanites and heritage-heads: here you’ll find history-dedicated days out as varied as the Dinosaur Museum, Dorchester Museum, Teddy Bear Museum, Tutankhamen Exhibition and the Roman Amphitheatre; take the Durnovaria Town Walk for an outdoorsy overview of the city’s main sights. Thomas Hardy’s Cottage is at Dorchester too and the literary can book into their schedule the Thomas Hardy Trail, a six-mile circular walk within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Elsewhere around the area, take the enormous amount of things to see and do in your stride: from castles to dinosaurs, theme parks to heritage railways and historic houses to tank museums, the coast to countryside have whopping opps for days out (and in; dash to Dorchester’s West Dorset Leisure Centre on a rainy day when the kids need to let off steam). Historic houses and gardens like Kingston Lacy, Athelhampton House and Minterne House and Gardens should suit the sedately inclined, while the less sedate (hello kids) will no doubt prefer chattering at the likes of Monkey World in Wareham, Adventure Wonderland at Christchurch or Sea Life near Weymouth. Both sorts should have a tanking good time at Bovington’s Tank Museum, the second biggest collection of armoured vehicles on the planet. Head for the coast, half an hour's drive away, to fossil hunt or take a guided fossil tour at Lyme Regis or Charmouth; soak up sun and sights at seaside towns such as Weymouth, Swanage and Christchurch; float on a boat to the Channel Islands or potter around glorious Poole Harbour and epically beaut Brownsea Island, also managed by the National Trust. The award-winning Swanage Railway is a gently relaxed way to see some of the sights of Dorset (including Famous Five inspiration Corfe Castle) and holds regular events including driving experiences and special days for children.
