The View Campsite

The View Campsite is a picturesque family camping and glamping site nestled in the heart of Dorset's rolling hills. Whether you prefer a pitch in the meadow with the best views of the Purbeck Hills or a secluded spot in a valley glade, you're sure to find a great spot to set up your tent or if glamping is more your thing stay in a bell tent. Plus, you're just 20-30 minutes from many beaches, including Bournemouth, Isle of Purbeck, Lulworth Cove.

About The View Campsite

This family-friendly meadow site offers panoramic views of the stunning Isle of Purbeck and beyond. With over 14 acres, guests have plenty of space to pitch their tents and enjoy the natural surroundings. While the campsite is a peaceful retreat, it's also conveniently located with Wareham and Poole just over 10 minutes away and within a half-hour drive of some of the area's best-known beaches, including Lulworth Cove, Swanage, Durdle Door, Bournemouth, and Sandbanks. Ideal for tents only, you have the freedom to choose your own pitch from several beautiful fields, each offering a memorable experience. Each pitch has a maximum of six people. If you don't want to pitch a tent, stay in a four person bell tent or tipi and bring everything your normally would, except the tent of course! All pitches are within walking distance to bespoke up-cycled toilet units, ranging from eco-friendly to flushing, and a couple of quirky showers on site as an added extra. It's a wildlife haven, with many birds and wild deer roaming the fields. The owners, Cathy and Kate, are passionate about preserving the site's natural beauty and offer all-natural camping meadows where guests can immerse themselves in the Dorset countryside. Sometimes the site hosts activities, including a communal firepit for guests to chat with fellow campers, listen to local musicians, or attend a meditation session or nature talk. On occasion, there are homemade pizza evenings, adding to the social atmosphere. Dogs are welcome for an additional cost here, but please note there are farm animals and wildlife on site.

The View Campsite is open from 05/07 to 14/07.

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2024

We had a lovely relaxing 2 night stay at The View Campsite. We were welcomed by Cathy who was super friendly and easy to contact throughout our stay. Campsite has fab clean facilities dotted around the field, with loads of spots to choose from to pitch! The site is about 5 minutes drive from the village which has Tesco Express and 2 pubs, and about 30 minutes drive to Bournemouth. Would recommend to anyone looking for a tranquil camping trip to switch off and relax in a private campsite. We were also able to hire a firepit which made for a cosy evening.

Lovely site

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023

Lovely, family-run eco campsite. We booked a medium tent for couple of nights, were greeted at the arrival and explained everything by the very friendly owner. You can choose your own pitch. Campsite is not expensive, clean and well managed. Dogs are welcomed. I think we liked everything about it. There was a music night we really enjoyed, nice people around, beautiful views and location about 15 - 20 mins from the seaside. Huge credit to the owners (Kathy and her daughter) who made this place very special. We will definitely recommend it!
