Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024
Had a lovely stay at this campsite. It was very peaceful, we enjoyed having a fire and listening to the wildlife.
A convenient location for Purbeck, Weymouth and Chesil and beyond. The showers were hot, everything was spotlessly clean and well run. Good value for money and would definitely visit again.
