Crossways - great CC site

We used crossways as a base for visiting Camp Bestival at Lulworth and had a great weekend. The sites little glades off the main route make for idyllic pitches. The CC staff were extremely helpful and welcoming and full of useful tips and info. We look forward to returning very soon.

Different

At last a site that's not identical to all the other cc sites. The setting is great, little bays in woodland, and quiet despite a railway line and quarry adjacent. The train and bus services to Dorchester and Weymouth (and beyond) are a real benefit to pass holders. The local pub serves good food and beer and offers a discount to cc campers.The wardens are really pleasant with a good corporate sense of humour. The facilities are a little dated and not particularly close to all pitches, but we loved it!!!!

Super getaway site that's handy for exploring Dorset

A great little site , beautifully maintained with easy access to lots of excellent spots in Dorset. The site uses all the natural features of the woodland in which it sits. The staff are very helpful and always have a smile on their face. A super place for dog walks. It's very handy for buses and trains with the added bonus of a pub two minutes walk through the side gate from the site. You will not be disappointed.

Lovely as always

This was our third visit to Crossways and we were not disappointed. The wardens were friendly, really helpful, always had time for a chat and have added some lovely touches with flowers and wooden sculptures around the site. It is set amongst woods with a mixture of sunny pitches and shaded, the whole site well looked after, without losing any of the woodland charm. Good location with the train station less than 5 mins away, £4.30 return takes you into Dorchester, plenty to do and see plus some good shopping! Opposite the station there is a very good pub doing excellent food and real ales. Only minus, there is no wifi anywhere on site if that is important to you.

Lovely Little site

A lovely little site that's full of character. Developed in a wooded area that bustles with wild life. The site staff are always about and couldn't be more helpful. The site is within two minutes walk to a train station, a pub and it is within a short drive to Lulworth Castle and Cove, Corfe Castle, Swanage, Dorchster. Plenty for everyone to do and see.

A wonderful experience

We found the site absolutely delightful. Its wooded character and the arrangement of secluded bays taking two or three vans offered both privacy and the ability to socialise at a personal level with the other campers. Ultimately a site is only as good as the wardens and assistants who run it and here the Club has struck gold. Perry and Marie and Fiona and Martin are clearly hard workers because the site and all facilities are immaculately maintained, but they still find time to chat to campers and offer advice on places to visit. Perry's handiwork, whether it's a tractor pulling logs (built with logs), a bird feeder in the shape of a castle flying the Club's logo or any of the other dozen or more features he has built add charm and a unique personal touch to the site. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Wish we had a few extra days

This is a fantastic site and I genuinely believe the staff are proud of it. We had a fantastic time and it is easy to get to many attractions in the area, the train station is very handy but not noisy. The site was clean and tidy with a unique charm. We will be back.

Lovely peaceful site

We have been before and always find it very peaceful as each group of caravans are in bays which makes it feel exclusive. The staff are always pleasant and helpful and the toilet blocks are environmentally friendly as they use composting loos which have no smell whatever, and the water is piping hot in the washing areas which are kept spotless. Also close proximity to trains is very useful. There is also a very well stocked Co-op about half a mile up the road. Also as already mentioned it is close to Monkey World well worth a visit and Bovington Tank Museum.

Quirky loos but brilliant

Had 5 nights here and loved it. Great location for Dorset sightseeing. Having a station so close was a bonus for us and made Dorchester and Weymouth into car free days. You need to book at the pub later in the week. We chose the hardstanding close to the storage area as it we could avoid the soggy grass after all the recent rain and to answer another reviewer I'd say that pointing heavy motorhomes away from a potential sinking seems like a good idea. Loos are quirky and completely odour free. We liked them. As the site is set in forest clearings a stroll round the site after dinner was a pleasant experience. All 4 wardens were approachable, friendly and helpful to us.
