The campsite was as described. The owner was helpful and polite. We rang him when we arrived and he greeted us within minutes. The farm animals are a lovely addition. The alloys converted to fire pits dotted around are a great touch and kept us warm. The facilities are good, toilets, showers, washing sink area, communal fridge. We only used the toilets so I could rate higher than I have. Cleanliness was as expected for many people camping on a farm site. It was good considering the location. Would recommend and stay again.
Great stay

I'd highly recommend here if you want simple clean site. its a 3 field site situated on a farm with water points in all the fields, showering facilities and toilets. For our first time there, I can't fault the service, the site manager and owner was very helpful and accommodating. didn't feel any pressure in setting up or packing down. not far from local towns but far enough way to feel remote but not isolated.
Exactly what we needed

Nice spacious campsite, with all the necessary facilities (toilets/showers/washup area and so on). Would recommend and use again.
Expensive for what it is

Expensive for what it is. Too busy and too noisy for us and the toilets smelled and the bins were overflowing. Not the place to go if you want a quiet, relaxing weekend. We were very disappointed, arrived having pre-booked, but there were very limited places left to pitch. The site was clearly overbooked and the facilities could not cope with the number of visitors. The toilets smelled and there were swarms of flies around them. The bins were overflowing with wasps all over them. The site was noisy at night. A very disrespectful large group screaming and shouting into the early hours. A real shame because the site has so much potential. I feel that they need to reduce numbers and ban large groups.
Don’t go on a Bank Holiday weekend!

Booked for one night on the group side and one night on the family side, due to limited last minute availability. Turned up to find the whole field totally jam packed. Minimal space to park up our van other than by big groups with lots of cars, playing music that we did not want to hear. Didn't want to pitch an awning or tent, just a small space to put out our chairs, but no such luck. In fact, we left and parked up elsewhere on the coast for the first night! Second night there was no space at all in the quieter small group area, but we didn't bother questioning it after reading reviews of similar issues. Wedged ourselves on to the main field later in the evening. The owner has clearly just been greedy and maxed out on bookings for the weekend. Not relaxing at all. Had a shower which was fine, although classic flooding of all space outside. Toilets stank, with no toilet paper left by the following morning in the women's. Wouldn't return here, no view, nothing within walking distance. Certainly wouldn't pay £30 a night again. Camping should be a break from reality but this place was just like being back in the city.
Fantastic

We had a lovely stay, site was clean and tidy. The facilities were kept clean at all times. Play park on site and not far at all from Weymouth beach. Will definitely stay again. Added bonus, there is somewhere to charge phones etc.
Great site for campers

This is a great site for true campers. The facilities are always clean (subject to other guests & weather). There is always soap & toilet rolls; the showers are hot and the dishwashing area is much better than most, with great taps and even bowls provided in case you forget your own. It's a great place to set up the fire pit and watch the stars while toasting marshmallows, and listen to the farm animals settle down. Richard was very friendly and really helpful. He went out of his way to help us after our son was taken ill. Thanks to him, our little family break was saved, and some more wonderful camping memories made. Thank you.
We had a great time

We had a great time. The toilet block could have been cleaner but there was only one guy running the campsite and he did his very best on this very busy bank holiday.
Great weekend

Me and 5 of my friends stayed here for 2 nights for my birthday weekend. We found the camp really easily and checked in quickly with the owner. We had travelled in two separate cars and they were a bit behind us from traffic but they managed to check in quickly too. I had booked a large tent pitch for 4 small tents and the field we were in was great. It was the furthest field so a bit far for toilet trips and showers but as it was the group field it was understandable. Our cars were able to go by the tents which was great for when we wanted to go out. The owner came round with fire pits for £15 a night which we had and was a great addition. The whole camp was really nice, the women's toilets were kept clean, and the showers were good. There were animals in the field which was nice too. The location is about 20 min drive to Weymouth beachfront, with a taxi costing around £30 each way. Overall, our stay was really enjoyable and I would recommend this camp!

Great campsite. We went with a family of 4 and a 5 month old puppy. Plenty of space and the facilities are perfect. Julian was very helpful on arrival and throughout the stay. Location is ideal for getting to Weymouth or getting along the coast. Will be booking again.
Cute and value for money

We stayed 3 nights there, great location, good place to stay and a beautiful spot for moon rise. Unfortunately, on the departure morning, the toilets were all blocked and sinks full with water. We couldn't use the bathroom in that morning, was really disgusting. Also, a bad experience I had, our fruits and sweets were stolen from the fridge. Not really great experience as a first time trying Camping. Anyway, there are lots of things to be improved. Thank you.
