Things to do on site and in the Bridport area
For some it's just all about the camping, especially young children, who can think of nothing more exciting than cooking dinner over the campfire, going on bug hunts with newly acquired friends and staying up late with mum and dad, watching out for shooting stars.
There is plenty of safe, level space on the camping field for riding bikes, playing ball games and flying kites. If the weather is unkind there are books, games and craft items in the campers snug
You can also book activities such as massage, reiki, sound baths, morning meditation and even spoon carving.
The picture postcard village of Symondsbury is within walking distance, where you'll find a cross-country bike trail and numerous walks, including the ascent of the iconic landmark, Colmers Hill. You can soften your descent with a trip to the local pub The Illchester Arms or the delightful Manor Yard Café.
