Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024

What a little gem of a campsite. Two small fields accommodate a small number of campers, never feeling overcrowded. A quiet and peaceful campsite, and once the torrential rain disappeared we were treated to amazing stars and even some shooting stars. The toilets and showers are very clean, and well stocked and maintained during our stay. Jim was super helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the walk down to the Black Dog Inn, and playing games on site. This is such a beautiful part of Dorset and there is so much to see and do locally. All in all, we had a magical stay and will definitely be back! Thanks Jim!

Excellent stay

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024

What a wonderfully quiet campsite this is! Jim the owner is so helpful and friendly, very accommodating and the site is dog friendly! The camp was clean, spacious and quiet and close to a nice pub for good food, Weymouth and Durdle Door beaches are close by with plenty of beautiful scenery around. We all loved it here, especially the dogs who didn't want to come home! No check in or check out time was great to have, and Jim will be around with the wood if you want a little fire pit. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!
