For those seeking a more relaxed day, the beautiful award-winning beaches of Swanage and Studland are just a stone's throw away (15 minutes). The site welcomes tents, campervans, and motorhomes, with 160 unmarked pitches available across three fields with electric available too. Visitors can enjoy the sight of wild deer, pheasants, and birds roaming free in the fields, with one of the fields bordered by a steam train linking Corfe Castle and Swanage. Dogs are welcome in two of the three fields. Hardstanding pitches are also available for motorhomes and campervans.

It's a lovely site with washing facilities and tokens (50p) for showers. I probably chose the wrong spot as I was located very near a large group of lads who played music until late. The shop is great and well stocked and staff lovely.
very nice campsite, plenty facilities, great location

This campsite was in a great location with easy access by foot to Corfe Castle and to the Swanage steam railway. The site itself was lovely and large, but the toilet and shower block was tired and you had to pay to use the showers which was disappointing. I didn't see anything to enable the shower floors to be cleaned after use which meant the floors were often left with soap and hair on. On the positive side there were plenty of portaloo type toilets which helped reduce the footfall into the shower blocks. Overall, a great campsite, with a great little shop and helpful staff, so would recommend.
