About Burnbake Campsite
The site is tucked into secluded woodland on the beautiful Isle of Purbeck, part of the Rempstone Estate. A family favourite since 1975, it's a 'Swallows and Amazons' affair, with access to 12 acres of fabulous outdoor space to tempt keen walkers and cyclists. There are over a hundred unmarked grass pitches to choose from. From 30 spacious non electric pitches in the main campsite woodland area to 85 spread across the large open camping field, all of which are suitable for tents and small campervans. In a separate field, there are an additional ten grass pitches with electric hook up, also suitable for tents and small campervans. If you're looking to bring your campervan or motorhome, there are five hardstanding pitches available all with electric hook ups! There are also 22 luxury lodges available all year round. A truly wonderful base to explore Dorset's countryside and Jurassic coast from, with golden sand beaches being just 15 minutes away. Dogs are welcome onsite but please keep them on the lead. Fire pits are allowed to achieve that traditional camping atmosphere, but please make sure they are raised off the ground as to not damage the grass.
Burnbake Campsite is open from 12/04 to 17/10.
Facilities include a small shop on site, a toilet/shower block, an extra shower block, washing up sinks, baby changing, a laundry room and drinking water points spread across the site.
A café is open during peak season for breakfast and dinner (and it opens weekends only in the off peak months between May and Sept). Bike hire can be arranged from reception via a local company.

A fabulous place, so much to do around the area for day trips. It was clean, tidy, with beautiful surroundings. It would be nice if the electric hook up pitches were weatherised to cope with rain, and not turn to mud. Thank you so much, will be back.

Loved our stay at Burnbake! Quiet and at nature, nestled under the trees. The fire was raised off the ground, which makes for a perfect camp. It was in riding distance on the bikes to Knoll beach. The staff were friendly and the facilities were clean. Will definitely be returning!

Things to do on site and in the Wareham area
The Jurassic Coast is only a 15 minute drive away and boasts beautiful golden sand beaches including Studland and Shell Bay. The seaside resort of Swanage is within easy reach via a steam railway. A bit further in the car will get you to majestic Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove.
And if you'd rather get active than laze on beaches there are many great walking and cycling routes to explore. Test out your skills with a coasteering session or get some energy going on the Burnbake Ropes Course, a challenging mix of zip wires and rope adventures high in the trees which is right by the site.
Join the Mud Trail for an action packed afternoon, or if you have a head for heights you can take on climbing and abseiling on the Swanage cliffs, rafting and kayaking in Wareham and canoeing in Poole Harbour.
