Our family-run campsite has 160 unmarked pitches on 3 fields across 13 acres where wild deer, pheasants and birds roam. This spacious campsite with broad, countryside views never feels full even during the peak camping season. One field is bordered by a steam train, linking Corfe Castle and Swanage. Our facilities block houses 18 showers (including separate male and female disabled shower/toilet). 100 electrical hook-up points are available and 20 of which are hard standings for motorhomes and camper vans.
