Surroundings cafe and lake

Narrow entry road approx 5 miles long. Although passing points could have been difficult with 11.5 metre unit had I come across another long or wide vehicle in th opposite direction.

Great family friendly campsite, great cafe good food, and the lake to paddleboard and swim in was amazing, local pub a 5 minute walk away, great location

Only downside was there’s only 2 toilets and 2 showers, although always clean and re-stocked just not enough toilets for people staying

Warm welcome, cafe on site, spacious pitch, washing up facilities, clean toilets, flat ground, great lake,

Lights in the toilets didn’t seem to work

Plenty of space, warm showers and a small lake perfect for kids and to adults to learn to paddle board.

Could do with a couple more showers, but if you avoid busy times it’s fine.

We liked everything about the camp site. The location was spot on for a visit to the jurassic coast or a 20 min drive to Dorchesters historic town. Paddleboarding and swimming on the lake. Drinking a coffee in the Purple Turtle coffee shop right by the lake.

Nothing to dislike.

We loved the site, the lake, the cafe, the coffee, and the friendly people!

The 1st night

Having stayed here many times before we had a very different experience this time. The 1st 2 days and night were as perfect as usual but when the families arrived on Friday night it was chaos. The children were left to scream in an adjacent field to near midnight and the adults were oblivious as they too were 'partying' till the early hours, which is very inconsiderate in a camping situation. There was no control over how closely their vans were pitched, which I was told is a fire hazard, especially as there were open fire pits right up to some vans!! Dogs were left off lead to roam, again against this camps policy. This is not how we have experienced this site before and talking to others the next day, we were not alone! We will not be returning!!
