Lovely surroundings

Once through the farmyard pitches have glorious views from valley floor. We went to use the bike trailway. Directions are posted by the toilet facilities. Although it is very steep in places to access the trail we thought it worthwhile for some great off road cycling. Took us about 30 minutes. Coming back we used the main road. Part of it you can walk on the verge and the rest is downhill. Plus there are quite long breaks in the traffic probably due to the traffic lights at the start of the road.

Well worth a visit

This site has a peaceful ambience and is in its own large open and secluded valley beyond a well kept farm and is surrounded by pasture and more distant woodland. The generous pitches are along the edge of a spacious oblong field running up the valley away from the farm, with a hedge and track running behind the pitches. There are walks from the site up tracks and across fields and into the woods and beyond. The farm animals which include sheep (lambs at Easter), cattle, horses, a donkey, lama and alpaca are part of the attraction. We had wet weather but the grass was well drained. If you are looking for fault, it is the volume of traffic on the A357 which is 3-500 yards away and is just visible beyond the farm buildings which are 2-400 yards away. On the other side of the A357 and set back from it is a disused railway track that is used as a walking and cycle way between Blandford Forum and Sturminster Newton. Access to it from the site is a little convoluted, as it is not safe to walk along the Road, and this adds distance to the route in either direction. The countryside and small villages around the Stour Valley are attractive and there are plenty of places further afield to walk from and visit by car. The farmer and his wife were very helpful and friendly. We only spent 4 nights at the site but we hope to visit again and would definitely recommend it to others.

Just what we wanted

This is just the sort of campsite we look for when choosing a Certified Location. The owners, Sue and Trevor, were lovely, welcoming and friendly. The camping area is well-kept and nestled in a pretty valley surrounded by fields of livestock - sheep, horses, cows, even a llama and an alpaca and their baby! It was near enough to the road to get to all the local places of interest, just not near enough to hear the traffic! The only sounds you could hear were the sheep. Plenty of lovely walks and cycle tracks nearby. Would definitely recommend it and would love to return.

Get out the Bikes

Ideal site for family traffic free cycling, as the North Dorset Trailway(old railway line) is accessible from the village of Shillingstone. About 5 miles up to Sturminster Newton; and about 3 miles down the line to Blandford Forum. Kingston Lacey, Badbury Rings and many more interesting places nearby. Minor point the grass strip for pitching your vans was quite narrow a wider strip of mown grass would have been nice. The Owners were delightful and we would definitely recommend this site.

Ssssh don't tell everyone!

This site is most definitely one of the best CL sites we have stayed on. Access is easy, owners really friendly and welcoming, the site is on the edge of a sloping field but quite level, owners even supply wood ramps placed handly by the water tap, of which there is one next to every electric point! Great access for exploring, footpath right next to site or close local walks within easy reach by car. Great location if you are a dog lover but you need to keep your dog on a lead at all times due to livestock. We liked it so much we are returning next weekend to continue our adventure and will continue to enjoy the tranquil country side.

A pleasant site with friendly owners

We have just had a week on this site , surrounded by lambs and their mums, not in the same field! Friendly and helpful owners who made us welcome. TV not good but no matter when there is so much to do, plenty of easy walks on the trackway plus others more testing. Will be going again.

A lovely find! ;)

We've just got back from the Bank Holiday weekend away in our caravan with 3 children and 2 dogs. We were made to feel very welcome on arrival and leaving; the site is set in a beautiful valley on a working farm so plenty to see. Near by is a lovely pub Fiddleford Inn, Sturminster Newton that does lovely food and welcomes dogs and children. Easy access to Poole and surrounding areas. Would highly recommend and will be back again soon.

One Of The Best

This is one of the best CL's we have stayed on in over 15 years of caravaning. The setting is truly beautiful with easy access to Blandford Forest which has mile upon mile of tracks to explore. The owners were exceptionally warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The only problem with a large motorhome is pedestrian access to the disused railway line to Blandford Forum as the road past the site is NOT suitable for pedestrians being on a bend and in a dip. We will be going back again and again.
