Crossways Club Campsite is an imaginatively landscaped destination set in the midst of 35 acres of lush woodland - ideal when touring in Dorset. Pitching is available in open groves, all of which are linked by a scenic snaking road. This makes for easy access around the campsite, from the charmingly named Iron Horse Meadows to Poachers Paradise. If you want to leave the car behind for an excursion or if you're simply a rail enthusiast, the railway is a five minute walk away.
There is a pleasant pub adjacent to Crossways Club Campsite, serving good food. The campsite is within convenient reach of a wealth of interesting attractions at the nearby town of Weymouth. Also close by is the harbour town of Poole, with its blue flag beaches and Lighthouse Arts Centre, and a short drive from the site brings you to the historic market town of Dorchester. From its glorious beach to the charming shops and wide selection of restaurants, there is something memorable to be had for everyone in the family.

Crossways Club Campsite
Turned up at site, friendly wardens, easy check in, not the easiest site to find way around on map, found pitch in a very quiet part. Water/ waste easily execesable, hook up ok. Not so good, no TV signal, need long cable to connect(inxs 10m) no 4G connection at all, so forget smart TV, although WiFi by reception. Showers clean and really good, toilets are dry compositing, which is an eye opener.
Doggy walks ok around site, get up early and loads of deer about, nice playing field for dogs 1/2 mile away, lovely walk about in poundbury. Shops easy access, good access to Weymouth/Poole/Bournemouth.
Would be nice to be aware of no 4g or TV and dry toilets.
If not upgraded not sure if we'd go back.
Just Suitable

Crossways Club Campsite
one of the best sites around deer natural woodland peaceful the train tooting was not at all intrusive all facilities spotless could find any fault
Mooie camping met loslopende herten, maar matig sanitair
Crossways Club Campsite
Vriendelijke ontvangst, we hadden een hardstanding plaats gereserveerd, maar die lag volledig in de schaduw, dus gingen we voor gras. Wat ons tegenviel wat betreft het sanitair was dat de douches apart in een gebouwtje zaten en ook nog eens erg smal zonder een bankje voorin. Was je klaar met douchen moest je naar het volgende gebouwtje waar de washokjes waren(overigens af te sluiten met een(douche)gordijn voor de finishing touch of tanden poetsen en zo meer. Ook vonden we het tijdstip van schoonmaken(10 uur)aan de vroege kant. Daar ook geen gewone wc’s maar droog- en/of composttoiletten. Dat is overigens prima te doen, je moet enkel niet in dat gat kijken, maar het stinkt beslist niet. Het zal het beleid van de camping zijn, even als de wifi, die was er niet, wel op papier, maar niet op de plek, zelfs niet vooraan bij de slagboom. Afwasplek ook buiten, wel ingebouwd, plek voor 2 waar wij stonden. Er is een spoor achter de camping, welke deze scheid van de camping van die andere club, maar geen schaduwplekken zo te zien, met een station op loopafstand, welke te bereiken via een poort elders op de camping. Wij hebben geen last gehad van de treinen, die overdag toch erg regelmatig langsrijden en toeteren en het geluid(alarm)van de overgang. Maar wij stonden er niet vlak tegenaan, verderop was dat wel het geval. Ook lopen er herten(soms vlakbij de plek), konijnen en eekhoorntjes. Verder een hele mooie camping.
What a pleasant surprise.
Crossways Club Campsite
What a pleasant surprise this site was,I had only booked it for a couple of nights as an overnight stop on way home,but we enjoyed the peace and quiet,the ambience,so much we stayed on further.
We had pitched on a grass pitch,easy wide reverse from site roads, such a difference from normal club sites,where reversing can be tight.
The strange thing is,this is more like a New Forest site than you get from this Club's two in the New Forest,with pitches in wooded glades.
The Frampton Arms is a 5 minute walk ,from a side gate,for an evening drink,food is available but we didn't eat there.
Beaches are nearby,especially the touristy Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door,but you must make a day of it as car parking is pricey.
Wareham is nearby for shopping,but as we only had an hour or so,we didn't really walk around it.
Others have said about the train tooting as they cross the road,but it is very minor for the advantages of this site.
