Liked: Amazing views and lovely uncrowded camp site. Shower and decent toilets, but still has a feel of 'wild'(ish) camping. Just 10 minutes walk into Shaftesbury town, and some nice long countryside walks close by. Purchased two bags of wood for £5/bag.

Liked: The views! Grass pitch is like a golf course and you have so much space, gorgeous old town next door, good shower (pressure and temperature)
Disliked: No hot water in the washing up area makes it hard to wash up anything greasy. One shower head was broken so only one shower available.
