Woodland setting

A site we use often as a stop over and stay longer , set in woodland in small enclaves the site has some road noise and the train line but this is not excessive, the deer wander through the site , there is a co-op 15 minutes walk away ,and bus stops and train station close , generally a peaceful site

Deer every day

This is a beautifully laid out site with pitches in woodland glades. The deer are frequent visitors adding a lovely feeling of peace despite being close to a quarry & quite a busy road. If you have transport it is a beautiful part of the country to explore, but I am biased as it is my home county.The showers & toilets are in separate facility blocks because of the composting loos. An unusual arrangement but the loos are spotless and add to the peace as there is no flushing!

Excellent site

Stayed 10 nights in our camper van. Beautiful woodland setting. Very helpful and friendly staff. Toilets and showers are in separate blocks (of necessity) but were kept spotlessly clean. Composting loos worked fine and hold no terrors for us now. Exceptionally informative information 'shed'. Trains to Weymouth/Dorchester and Poole/Bournemouth leave from Moreton station, less than 10 minutes walk from the site. Train horns sound twice per hour from about 0615 until about 2130 and are very clearly audible! Lots of deer and birds on site. Our sincere thanks to the resident Club staff.

Unusual, unique site.

Stayed for six nights in October. Well located site, close to rail station, with good connections to Dorchester/Weymouth westbound and Southampton and beyond eastbound. Train noise an issue on the pitches near the line as drivers sound their horn approaching the level crossing. Showers a bit tired. Toilets kept very clean. Composting toilets ok but some campers neglect to close the toilet lid after use, which can leave an odour. Pleasant walk or cycle to Moreton. Tearoom and gardens worth a visit. Best discovery in the area was the chance finding of the tap-room of the Dorset Brewing Company in Crossways, about a mile walk from the site. They do brewery tours on a Friday afternoon and the tap-room/pub is open from 4pm until 10pm on Friday and Saturday afternoon. The barman was a friendly Aussie head brewer. Brilliant beers at a good price - highly recommended.

Peace and quiet

We stayed here for the last three nights in October, before the site closed. The site has mainly grass pitches and many had been closed off due to the wet weather. We got lucky and found the last of the few hard standing pitches for our motorhome. I’m not sure we’d have been able to get on and off a grass pitch. The locator this site is perfect for exploring. We went to Weymouth, Studland and Swanage, all within easy reach. The Coop down the road is ideal as there is no shop on site. Shower facilities were great and appeared to be freshly refurbished. I didn’t use the compost loo as we used our own. To be honest I didn’t fancy it. The dog walk on site was good and we had a chuckle at the additional small dog area near the exit to the train station. Overall this site is lovely. Deer roam on the site along with squirrels and other wildlife. We were on the quarry side of the site but heard no noise to speak of. Neither could we hear the trains. The site is well cared for and we loved the way it’s broken up into small glades with a few pitches so that each feels quite secluded. Despite the fact that every night there was heavy rain and gales, quite terrible on the last night, we had a restful break and enjoyed this location very much.

Good base for visiting

A return visit to one of our favourite sites , yes, there is some triangle noise but not over intrusive, there is a Coop 15 minutes walk away which is on a pavement and flat , we don’t use the site facility’s so can’t comment on them , the site is set in woodland where the deer wonder through the site , we have never heard any noise from the quarry, this is a site that we use as a stop over as well as staying longer and always find something different in the area to visit

Wildlife and Beauty

Absolutely stunning location set in beautiful woodland and lots of wildlife activity. We found the site extremely peaceful and, to be honest, we didnt really notice the trains despite pitching next to the railway lines. Yes, they do sound the horns for the crossing but I guess the annoyance factor is down to the perception of the individual. It didn't bother us! Perfectly located for many local attractions and Dorchvegas (Dorchester) Thomas Hardy geeks will love the area as Max Gate is just down the road. Monkey World and Bovington museum right on the doorstep. Showers and toilets are separate due to the composting style loos but no hardship. Camp staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay here again.

Trains!

The site is in an attractive location - in a woodland setting; the pitches are beautiful; the ground level, and soft enough to drive pegs in and withdraw them easily; the facilities clean (not overly modern); and the showers warm... However, the trains.... my word! On arrival, we spotted the train track near certain pitches and asked about the train service. Reassured that trains were infrequent and stopped by 10p.m., we pitched in that area because of being told that it had the sunniest aspect - that much was true. Our awning was up by the time we first experienced the trains, otherwise we would probably have moved - there were several every hour, even more on Saturdays, but EVERY train hooted loudly as it approached the level crossing. Service started at 6:15a.m. and finished at 11:15p.m. It it certainly not a peaceful site, but if you're a deep sleeper or hard of hearing, it would be perfect. Location and facilities are perfect - such a shame you can't lift it and drop it half a mile away.
