Buckland Campsite

Понравилось This almost NEVER happens but I loved everything! We had our first ever camping trip to Buckland Campsite, and after a nearly four and a half drive James helped us complete beginners put our tent up, explaining it all as he went. He is a complete and utter asset to the team. The place is clean, it’s tidy, the toilets and showers are SPOTLESS and they were my main worry. The size of the site is perfect, not too big, nothing is too far away. The little farm shop was brilliant, reasonably priced and stocked with any essentials we forgot or just fancied. The food trucks on some evening were a great addition. The kids play park is great, again not too far so they can go in alone and we could see them playing.
I could quite literally go on and on about how amazing it is, but truly, try it yourself because you WILL NOT be disappointed!

Lovely campsite that’s not too big, with a great range of facilities including a park, small shop, laundry room, communal freezer and games room. The staff were friendly, and the washing-up area was good. It’s also in a brilliant location, only around 10 minutes from Weymouth seafront. Overall, we really liked the site and the atmosphere.

The toilet and shower facilities are the main downside. They’re basically like posh portaloos that have been plumbed in. The toilets are very small, smell of urine and feel quite grotty. We stayed for four nights and, although the cleaning van came every day, it didn’t seem like they were properly cleaned — more like bleach was put down the toilets and they were given a quick wipe.

The floors were particularly dirty in the corners and around the toilets, and the walls looked like they needed a good clean. The basins are tiny and positioned quite high, which makes them difficult for children and awkward for washing your face. It’s also unpleasant being less than a metre away from someone using the toilet while you’re trying to brush your teeth.

There are individual toilets available too, but these were equally small and grubby. The showers were similar — small, grotty and with a noticeable smell of mould.

It’s such a shame because the campsite itself is lovely. For us, it would genuinely be a 10/10 if they built a proper toilet and shower block. The facilities are the one thing really letting this otherwise great campsite down.

Понравилось It is a small campsite, Pretty quiet and felt very safe. It was not overcrowded and there was plenty of space between pitches. The playground was small but adequate and the indoor games room was an unexpected surprise, not amazing but the kids liked it. The campsite is flat, pretty open with a hedge around the outside. There were plenty of toilets and showers all in a good condition. Cleaners came everyday to the facilities. Lots of sinks for washing up meant no queuing in the evening. Electric hook up was good and right next to the tents. Fire pits are allowed but we did not use ours due to the current drought and wild fires.

Не понравилось There were bugs in the toilets and showers which were made worse by leaving the doors open at night. The shop had a variety of things but could be more stocked and food vans could visit more than twice a week. The games room could be freshened but to be honest I’d rather the kids enjoyed the outdoors. All these things did not take away from a nice campsite.

Понравилось The welcome on arrival, the information provided by the young man. Very informative and helped me select a pitch that was right for my family.
Excellent immaculate facilities. Always clean, washing up area had bowls, washing liquid etc. The pitches were a great size and the campsite was silent by 2230 hrs as per the rules. A Pizza truck came whilst we were there and it was amazing. We were gutted we were going home on Saturday morning as there was another food truck due that night.
The shop on site had everything in it for a reasonable price. Will definately stay again!

Понравилось Secluded location and reasonably quiet. Clean dishwasher area with provided soap and bowls which is a refreshing change from the norm. Hand driers in the toilets were awesome, however side effect of this was you could hear them from the other side of the campsite at midnight. Lovely big pitches, great park and beautiful views.

Не понравилось Lights on the pitches were a bit bright if you're in a tent, showers were very hot which was great for me but no way to turn them down for the little ones and a squidgy of some sort for the floor would have been helpful for drying the floor for getting dressed after.
