Medium Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

A lovely small quiet site. Spacious pitches and a short drive to the local amenities. The toilets and showers were fine, never had to que to get in them, they could do with maybe a mid day clean as they can get messy, especially when it rains. The truck that comes on a Saturday to serve curry is a nice idea to break it up, but the curries are not amazing. My only advice would be for the staff running the site to be a little bit more relaxed when people arrive on the site and go to join friends who have already checked in. I was marched straight to reception to check in and pay, when half of my bookings was already here and had paid for their pitch!

A Dorset delight

From the warm welcome on arrival, to finding a quiet pitch for my tent and I, the proprietors of Buckland Campsite couldn't have been more helpful. The site is beautifully kept and excellent facilities available. The level site has far reaching views over open countryside and easy access by car to Portland and Weymouth. This will be my go to campsite in Dorset!

Excellent in all ways

Lovely, kind couple there to greet us with their dog 'Fenn'. Very clean site, nice and flat and easy placing in relation to toilets/showers. Clean facilities. Nice little shop and games room on site. Very welcoming to our dog, as were all the dogs on our field. Perfect for families, and couples. An easy drive to Weymouth - sea front about 10 mins away. All in all a very enjoyable stay, and would visit again.

Very welcoming staff, the site is a little far from places but was very reasonable priced. It probably needs more toilets/shower blocks.

Convivial camping

This was the first camping experience for majority of my extended family members and the site exceeded our expectations. Most pertinently, the washing facilities have had washing liquids and sponges - never seen that before. The site is only 10-15 min away from beautiful coast of Weymouth with easy access to supermarkets and online takeways. Ideal for a group like us who wants to have a camping experience and need regular access to amenities we have at home.

Outstanding

Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

Overall, we had a nice stay. Our likes were that the service staff were really friendly and helpful. Good location near Weymouth and lots of beaches, things to do locally. Corfe Castle is definitely worth a visit. Site entrance gate has ANPR, so it opens automatically for the car. Our gripes were that the showers and loos were pretty small and not very well ventilated. The pitches are quite close together so large tents take up most of the room you have available, and neighbours are right next to you.

Friendly campsite

The owners running the site were extremely friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The facilities were in in clean working order continuously (hot pressured showers and washing up water). The site is child friendly with a little park and a good space for children to play football. The pitch sizes very reasonable (we have a large tent) and had lots of room. The laundry machines were very reasonable priced compared to other sites I've been too, they also provided washing lines for another drying option. I would've liked to have a better shop on site, a selection of food or a bakery or food vans mid week ect. No alcohol sold on site either, but otherwise, no complaints at all! It's a perfect location not far from te town or Weymouth but set in the countryside with surrounding fields and farms. Overall, a very lovely site that we will definitely be returning to.

Had an enjoyable week!

Medium Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

Location was great, easy access to shops, beach & days out. Owners were great, friendly & helpful. Facilities were regularly cleaned from offsite contractors. Shop on site had minimal supplies. Only criticism I have are the toilets. When the doors are opened, they almost touch the toilets! It was difficult to get to the toilet & shut the doors. You had to almost step over the toilet to be able to shut the door. I came to realise this was probably why the toilet seats were all loose, from being kicked trying to lift your leg over them. Anyone who is bigger would struggle to get in or out around the door. My teenagers even struggled. My only saviour was the unisex toilets. If they weren't there, I would have gone home. Also, the showers are in a trailer, and could do with more ventilation. Hot days were unbearable in them & I nearly passed out on 1 occasion from being too hot & stuffy.

Great stay

First time here in Weymouth. Good scenic location, clean site, everything worked and was clean. Maybe the tent pitches could be marked out better, but minor quibble. Will definitely stay again. Thanks.

Buckland's is a great site to visit. Large open field with loads of electric pitches and some non. Ian was so helpful and a great host. The toilet blocks were in great condition and the showers supplied plenty of hot water. Will be coming back again for sure.

Amazing site, will definitely book again

Amazing campsite and lovely owners. Clean and modern toilet and shower block. Spacious pitches, most with electric hook-up. Site was very quiet after 10pm and before 9am. Nice little shop stocked the essentials that you might have forgotten. Laundry facilities and a freezer to freeze ice packs. Our first time ever camping and we would definitely stay here again. :)

The site is easy to find on Sat-Nav using the postcode. Booking in was straightforward, although there was a problem paying on the credit card for some technical reason. Pitches marked clearly, toilets and showers nice and clean. Grass nicely cut, no litter. Nice and quiet. I'll use the site again.

So peaceful

When I booked the site I didn't know what to expect, but I'm so glad, if you're looking for peace and quiet then you have found it within this site. I would highly recommend coming here, its a little gem. Showers and toilets are cleaned daily, spotlessly clean, and the couple who run the site are always ready to give advice if needed. A very nice couple indeed. You have a washing machine onsite for a small charge, a freezer where you can store your ice-blocks for your cool-boxes. Weymouth is a short drive away, or if you're like me I would cycle to Weymouth, it only takes twenty minutes. All in all, I would recommend this site to everyone, only problem is that they close for the season at the end of September.

A beautifully kept site within easy reach of Weymouth beach. Very friendly and helpful staff. Facilities spotless! Dog friendly with a designated area to let them off lead. A well thought out little shop which stocked things you may have forgotten, but not at unreasonable prices. Plenty of large stores locally to pick up anything you need.

Top notch site
