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.
