Liked: A well thought out pop up site, managed by a lovely, friendly couple - Ian and Becky - keen to share their local intelligence and make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Set in a large field, with numbers kept low so plenty/loads of space and all very peaceful. Lovely views. Facilities (showers, loos, washing up) were clean and well stocked with soap, washing up liquid, sponges and loo roll etc). We really enjoyed the fire-pit one evening, and our walk into Wareham for a pub meal the other.
Disliked: Only our neighbours who kept their cars running for long periods in the morning (we assume to charge phones) - but no fault of the campsite owners

Liked: Shower and toilets were clean at all times. Washing up area with washing up liquid and sponges provided. Drinking water taps. Flat pitches and plenty of space. Little shop for essentials. Charging station for devices. Fire pit hire. Very quiet at night (apart from the road but that’s a minor issue). Very friendly owners who were helpful and with a great knowledge of the local area.
Disliked: Road noise, but didn’t affect our stay. The grass could have been shorter.

Liked: We liked the relaxed feel of the campsite and the lovely views. The pitches were generous and we had plenty of space. It was great to be able to have a fire pit in the evenings and watch the sunrise over the hills in the morning. There was an easy walk into town and to nearby tourist spots (Corfe Castle, Swanage, Old Harry Rocks etc). We also hired a canoe and took it along the river in the local town (an easy walk from the campsite).
Disliked: The shower facilities were pretty basic. It was hard to find a place to stand under the shower head where you could get a good flow of water running over you which made for a chilly experience! The toilets facilities were also basic but decent. The washing-up facilities were great but not sheltered in any way so it was a bit wet when raining! The campsite could benefit from a more obvious sign at the entrance to the camp. We drove past the entrance a couple of times before we found the track.
