Not for me

It seems people fall into two 'camps' about this site. They either love it or dislike it and I'm in the latter category. I found the pitching areas to be jammed in and, as far as I could work out, the hard standing area is simply a roughish hard area where vans were squashed in with a view of the storage compound. I found the whole site to be dark and oppressive. The wardens were good and used their common sense. The highlight of our visit was seeing the deer that came out of the woods onto the site in the evening.

Idyllic

Having just returned from our third stay at this beautiful site I can only repeat my previous review. The quiet, secluded, spacious pitches combined with the friendly wildlife are just part of it's charm. Another positive is the proximity to the main line railway, with Dorchester and Weymouth just a few minutes away. We look forward to another visit as soon as possible.

one to miss

The weather didn't help. I arrived in a nice frame of mind and it all went downhill from there. Like other commentators, I wouldn't go back. I could witter on about my impressions of this site but will advance only one: Why do the wardens allow so many people to depart late? e.g some as late as 2. It just clogs the place up for those arriving just after noon (as instructed by the book). Met quite a few people wandering around in the afternoon stating they were leaving that day. The newcomers were left with the soggy pitches.

Wet (partly) long weekend

This is a very beautiful site, widely spread throughout mature woodland. There is one slight problem with woodland such as this, and that is that woods act as a sponge in heavy rain! We were unfortunate enough to arrive in the dark in torrential rain! The warden on duty was great and even suggested that we use one of the late arrival pitches which are hard standings. But no, we elected to find a pitch in the site. everywhere was sodden, but we did find a reasonable pitch in the end. I think that far more hard standing pitches would make this site even better. There is a great but slightly hilly and reasonably long dog walk. I have no problem with the composting loos or the separate showers. The staff were brilliant ( thank you) and we would definitely go there again.

Disappointed

The location is lovely and staff very helpful. Railway station very close so could leave the car behind. Toilets not a problem but we found the showers were small, cramped and not clean enough. Not to CC standard and would not go back.

September stay

Whilst it is dry our pitch was ok. When it rained we were surrounded by water. The wardens agreed that the site is badly drained. Showers need updating, so come on CC this is just not up to standard. Very disappointed.

wonderful holiday

We have just returned from a 10 stay here and had a wonderful time until the end of the holiday, but more of that later... Its an interesting site with the pitches set in small areas, some can be shaded but just take your time choosing to ensure morning/evening sun. our choice gave us afternoon sun but was shaded by 6ish. We had pitch 70 which backed onto the quarry and did not find the noise intrusive however we spent the daytime mainly off the site. Toilets and showers are dated but very clean, the composting toilet is rather disconcerting initially though! I must admit though having toilets and showers separate is strange. We tended to use our own facilities but that was our choice. The weather was glorious whilst we were there and we took advantage of visiting many of the picturesque bays and coves in the area. Lulworth cove and Durdle Door being our favourite. To return to the penultimate day, unfortunately my other half sustained a nasty fall which resulted in him needing hospital attention and unable to weight bear. I had several offers and actual assistance from our neighbours to assist with packing up, thank you! We were also offered assistance by the warden, who even ensured we were able to return home and offered to tow us if it had been his day off! Definitely beyond the call of duty. We would definitely like to return to this site.

Visit August 2015

We stayed here for three nights and very much enjoyed our stay. The showers were a little dated and cramped and could do with an upgrade. The toilets were OK but took a little getting used to. A friendly welcome.

Unique

This was our third site on our tour, what a lovely greeting from the lovely wardens and deer as a reception committee.The site is just so unusual and to see deer roaming between your vans is just lovely. The composting toilets were not a problem , did not smell and this was July and warm. if there was one complaint it was that the showers are in great need of an upgrade very old tired and extractor fans not working so mould up the walls, not the wardens fault, come on CC it needs sorting.
