Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Great little field with immaculately kept facilities. Top fields a great spot for the evening sun and has a great little footpath at the top for short walks. Minutes away from town and a short drive to the coast or Dorchester.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Lovely site and owner. Great signal/data coverage too!

Disliked: Unfortunately a large group of families were there during our stay and making lots of noise until late (kids running around pretty close to our tent after 10:30 at night flashing lights and shouting) Unfortunately their parents did nothing, in fact they were also talking away loudly until late.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Absolutely stunning location, very peaceful and quiet and Jim the campsite owner does a fantastic job. The facilities are basic but extremely well kept, the showers lovely and hot and a great little washing up area is provided too. We had a lovely evening in the meadow area at the top of the field and can’t wait to go back again. It’s a basic campsite done well and any problems I’m sure Jim would sort them out for you.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The scenery was beautiful for just half an hour away from our town. It was very peaceful and the fields were clean. Jim was very friendly and would check on us and our experience every day to make sure we were having a great time. The toilets and showers were also clean and well managed.

Local attractions

Where first for the kids? SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth (15 minutes' drive), Fantasy Island (15 minutes) or the Teddy Bear Museum in Dorchester (10 minutes)? If that’s not enough to keep them happy, you can try Monkey World - Ape Rescue Centre (20 minutes). Plenty of adventures await along the Jurassic Coast too. Go walking at Chesil Beach (25 minutes), or search for fossils on the pebbly beach at Charmouth (50 minutes). You can stroll along the cliff path from pretty Lulworth Cove to see Durdle Door (both 20 minutes) or gaze out over the English Channel from Portland Bill Lighthouse (40 minutes). The kids have had their fun, so now you get a go. Weymouth (20 minutes) has a pretty harbour lined with boats as well as lots of seafront bars and restaurants, while Poole (40 minutes) is a great spot for pub crawling with a whole slew of restaurants. If late nights are not your thing, have a nose around the hilltop ruins of Corfe Castle (30 minutes).
