Top Field

Tyckte om: Peaceful location. Level pitches.

Tyckte inte om: The track up the campsite was a lot worse than mentioned in the details. It is extremely rocky, uneven and rough.
The long drop composting toilet (there is only one) is in need of a deep clean, especially around the seat. It needs a cleaning solution and a brush to remove poo deposits on the seat and edge of seat (and lid). As it is the only loo for all adults and children to use it needs regular cleaning throughout the day. It would help if an eco cleaner spray was left in there for guests to use, along with hand sanitiser. The sink in the kitchen area was the only thing that was safe to use (once I’d cleaned it). The rest of the kitchen facilities were dirty and the gas burners are in bad condition.

Från föreståndaren: Thank you for your feedback and for staying at Top Field. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that some aspects of your visit didn’t meet your expectations, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

We aim to be transparent in our advert, noting that the track is uneven and may not suit very low vehicles, but that normal vehicles are fine. The track has been accessed by nearly all guests over the past year without issue, except one van during very wet conditions. We’ll review our description again to ensure it sets clear expectations.

Regarding the composting toilet, we clean it daily and use it ourselves, so maintaining hygiene is important to us. The lid is fixed and does not lift, so there is no waste under the lid, and any deposits are well below the seat. There were only three other camping groups on site during your stay, and we have found that one regularly cleaned loo is generally sufficient for the number of guests. We do usually provide an eco-friendly cleaning spray, but it appears to have been removed by another guest on this occasion—thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we will check more frequently in future. There is always a sink and soap for handwashing in the kitchen area.

The outdoor kitchen was thoroughly cleaned before your arrival, and we regularly use the gas burners ourselves without issue. We encourage guests to let us know during their stay if anything needs attention so we can address it promptly.

We strive to offer an affordable and authentic countryside camping experience, with a high season rate of £25 per night—well below the Dorset average for similar pitches. Our facilities, including the shared outdoor kitchen, composting toilet, and outdoor shower, are as described in our advert. We hope that guests enjoy the peaceful setting, nearby river for wild swimming, local walks and cycle routes, and pubs within walking distance.

Tyckte om: A beautiful, tranquil setting with far reaching views, with a warm welcome from Emma, Philip and their family.
A basic site, but with the bonus of an outside kitchen, a compost loo and shower with a view! What more do you need.

Tyckte om: We stayed in the bell tent over the Easter weekend. The tent was massive and came with a good sized bath towel and hair towel each, crockery and cutlery, tea and coffee supplies, comfy chair/loungers, a fire pit and wood as well as a lighter. There is also a covered camp kitchen with sink and stove. The views were beautiful and the campsite was super quiet. We hadn’t decided what to do that weekend other than get outside, and it’s well placed for getting down to the coast or other inland attractions. It’s also a ten minute walk to the local pub (The Charlton Inn) which had a great menu (and fab allergen understanding).

The customer service was also great - I had only booked two nights and been so poorly with a cold and morning sickness the week before that I messaged to cancel the first night and Emma kindly offered to shift our booking a night later. She also reminded us to bring wellies when it was expected the forecast would be bad and put out an extra blanket when it was due to be chilly.

Tyckte inte om: As an FYI only - the Charlton Inn doesn’t do food on Sunday evenings so it’s a very short trip into Blandford for another pub or other meal on a Sunday night!

Tyckte om: My second stay at the site - very peaceful. I had the place to myself as during the Christmas holidays. Hosts happy to let me crack on. Facilities basic but just what I needed. Found the local pub this time - the Charlton Inn, which seemed lovely.

Tyckte om: The site was very peaceful with lovely views over nearby farmland. The owners were friendly and relaxed. The outside washing up / kitchen area was useful, and the composting toilet and hot shower were perfect for what I needed. I’ll be back :)
