Gostou Plenty of space to pitch the tent. Decent quality food from the Food Shack. Friendly staff and Annabel always willing to help.
Very close to the 'Swanage Railway' station for an easy trip into Swanage or Corfe Castle.

Do gestor: Good morning, we are very sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience. This is most unusual.

We do understand that the eco loos are not to everyone’s taste! We do clean and sanitise them at least three times a day. Unfortunately, the very hot weather does make a difference. However, they are due to be emptied today. Concerning their design, that is a typically how eco loos look. They aren’t a ‘pretty sight,’ however, we would rather be eco conscious than use portable toilets which definitely get stinkier! We are a good value campsite which is open 60 days a year so it doesn’t warrant a large block of toilet cubicles as the field goes back to nature for the rest of the year (we also wouldn’t be able to get planning permission for that).

We are sorry to hear that you thought that the showers were bad. Again, they do get checked regularly and are free to use. They are just of a simple design, but then again we are a basic campsite valuing an outdoorsy experience.

In regard to the Snack Shack this is very disappointing. We have recently been awarded a food hygiene rating of 5, which we believe is very true to our practices in the kitchen. This is also surprising as we have many very positive reviews surrounding the Snack Shack and other facilities.

We are a family-run campsite and put a lot of care into the things we do. If you had any questions or concerns at the time we would have been very happy to help.

Gostou We loved this camp site . Perfect place to camp with the grandkids.
Loved the takeaway service for food & drink .
Very friendly staff & owner .

Nice that you don’t have to rush off on the check out day . .
Loved the train going passed ..

Gostou The site was perfect for our train enthusiast children. Facilities are basic but clean - infact I saw the toilets be cleaned 3 times whilst I was there.

Não gostou We booked because the site is advertised as for families and couples and the website and the gate clearly states no noise after 10pm. The first night this was adhered to and was very peaceful - However on the second a group came back to site around 11pm being very loud and disruptive, driving round shouting and whistling which woke up my children. There needs to be more to enforce this as it was the only thing to slightly spoil a lovely camping trip!
There is very little signal/wifi but we enjoyed this!

Do gestor: This is very hard to do as they all booked on Pitchup individually and then joined together as a group! I did go over and tell him to be quiet which they did do. I’m sorry you were disturbed.
People come back late during carnival especially on firework night I’m afraid.

Gostou A lovely, peaceful site. We accidentally ended up there during Swanage carnival week, and it was still not crowded feel. We hid from the sun in the woods, so were less able to enjoy the scenic views, and couldn't see the trains go by, but we didn't spend much time on site, as we came specifically to use the beaches and canoe. Next time hopefully we can escape for longer, and enjoy more time there.

The food was good, and good value for money, and the owners and their dog were very friendly too!

Não gostou The only things I would say weren't ideal was the entry way was very steep/tight - ok for a car, if you don't stop, but I wouldn't fancy towing anything in or out!

Also, composting toilets may give some pause... didn't bother us, but possibly not for people who want luxury. Composting toilet means a shed with a seat/hole that drops into a big pit.
