After looking for a last minute campsite only a couple of weeks before arriving on a bank holiday weekend with friends, we found this little gem within our small budget for a last minute trip. Chris was accommodating putting our group together fitting us in. He was super friendly and made us feel very welcome, which is great as when you arrive with your 3 children and a dog you can sometimes feel like you are imposing. The showers were kept very clean and the added bonus of a place to wash dishes and a microwave was super helpful! I plan to book again in 2023!

A very warm welcome on arrival. The campsite was clean and organised great for relaxation on-site. The views are outstanding. Great for country walks. Chris has amazing local knowledge of the area, and was a very helpful person for our 4-day break. 😀
Beautiful campsite with a great host

I almost don't want to recommend it as worried everyone will discover this amazing place! A lovely campsite, great location, brilliant super clean facilities and Chris the host was so kind and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble, on hand to help and great to chat to about recommendations of things to do. The showers and toilets were kept immaculately clean, which is a near constant cleaning job on a campsite. One teeny comment was it would be good to have a little bench in the shower cubicle to pop your things on while you shower, there are hooks which help but a little bench would be good, or some more hooks. We will definitely be back!! Thank you

We booked our stay here at short notice having stayed nearer Poole for 5 days prior, wanting to extend our stay. Chris was great! Very welcoming, helpful and full of local knowledge! Nothing was too much trouble, lending us an electric adapter and also a dustpan and brush to sweep our tent out! The location was great, just outside Dorchester with easy access to Weymouth and also only 45 minutes from Bournemouth's beaches. Lots of local places to visit with recommendations galore from Chris regarding sights, shops and places to eat and drink. Facilities were spotless, cleaned regularly and there was even a microwave provided, great for heating milk at bedtime for little ones. Chris came across as a genuine man, really wanting to share what he has enjoyed throughout his life, the sights and all of the wildlife that nature has to offer. I wholeheartedly recommend this site.

This was the first time myself, my wife and our 4 year had stayed at Hardyes and we can honestly stay we will be booking again. The service we received from Chris was fantastic and the best we have received in any campsite or hotel. He could not do enough to make our stay fantastic and the facilities he offered were immaculately clean throughout our stay. The price and location couldn't be beat and the surrounding area was beautiful. This is one site we will be coming back to time and time again. A++++++

Hardyes was a lovely place to stay. John was really accommodating to our party as we had multiple different tents. The facilities were fantastic. I have the location 4*s, as if you don't have a car it is a way out, but if you have a car this place is perfect. It's just outside of Dorchester city centre and close to several beaches.
