Great campsite in easy reach of Swanage town. Friendly and helpful staff. We camped on the top field 'coastal heights' described by the reservation team as the overflow field, but easily the best spot to pitch your tent!
Great views of the sea, Swanage and the Purbeck hills-can even see Corfe Castle in the distance. Lots of different sections to the field so you can pitch up with a bit of privacy. Quite windy when we were there, but as it is so high I expect that's fairly standard so take a windbreak!
The 'seasonal toilets' were a great his & hers wash room on wheels, much newer and more convenient than the permanent facilities which are a 5 min walk down the steep hill in the main part of the campsite.
Walk into Swanage is easy, about 15 mins. However walking back to the top field is a bit of a trek, but well worth it, and judging on the number of families camping up there it obviously wasn't a problem for kids either.
I think £19 a night is reasonable for this site, with good facilities and its proximity to Swanage. You can also go to the bar at the campsite next door where there is entertainment every evening-not our cup of tea but reasonably priced drinks and lots of kids to do!

What a disappointment. No hardstanding and all pitches ( only seemed to be 6 despite what the website said) were on slope - got stuck in motorhome twice.
Toilets/showers very old and although kept clean there was shrubbery growing through the roof and earwigs to be cleaned out of the showers before use.
Totally geared towards statics with tourers a very poor second. Would not return despite great access to Swanage

What a gem in the heart of Swanage. A few spaces for motorhomes on hookup and water taps available and good toilet/shower facilities are close to hand unless you are sited at the top of the hill where the excellent views are, so we will stop up there next time. We were pitched close to play park due to the weather but quiet at night.
Very pleasant staff and towed me off the slippery grass after major downpour. Easy and pleasant walk into Swanage and beautiful surroundings. You must walk to Durlston and view the free exhibitions now its all been refurbished.
The drive into site is of easy access for motor homes.
Plenty of pubs and shops nearby, our favourite was the Black Swan (and Pickle 'the dog') just down the road, out of the footpath at bottom right of site a few minutes walk.
So much to offer in Swanage, steam trains, punch&judy, a pier and lovely safe beach.
Very reasonable pricing so will certainly be back.

A great site with really friendly wardens. They give the impression of enjoying what they do and want you to feel welcome.
We camped at the top field and we were pleasantly surprised to find that the old portaloos had been updated. They now contain 3 great showers (6 including the mens' ones as well). Clean and plentiful hot water.
The ground was quite sloping, but it was soft and there was plenty of space.
Awesome views as ever, and we even braved the clubhouse on the next door site on Sunday night!
Would definitely return again.

We have recently returned from a 4 night mid week stay at this park. The site is excellent value (£90 for a week with a hook up)It is set in the stunning scenery of the Purbeck hills with views in all directions but sadly not from the tent pitches with hook ups.
In truth the toilet and shower block could do with an upgrade but I have to say to the compliment of the staff it is very well presented and immaculately clean.
The site is predominantly made up of static caravans and the tent pich we were on was slightly sloping and the ground was quite stony so getting pegs in took a little more time.
The site was perfect for us as a base for walking with our dog and nice and peaceful. Just note that it is at the top of a steep hill though
We walked to Corfe casle and had a fantastic cream tea at the National Trust Cafe and also over to Studland and around Durston Point. Swanage has a lot to offer with a lovely sandy beach in a sheltered bay and busy little town
We shall certainly be returning

Friendly helpful warden, Tent pitch only slightly sloping. Pitched on the lower camping area near the toilet block. The toilets were very clean and well stocked with paper towels & loo roll.
The male & female toilet block were basic but more than acceptable, with lots of toilet cubicles including a disabled one & several shower cubicles.
Shower cubicles were also clean, roomy with hooks on the doors and very hot unlimited water. There was the occasional beastie in the shower but nothing major.
The ladies toilet block also had a few plug sockets to use hairdyers. The toilet, shower and washing up facilities were included in the pitch price. Drinking water taps and bins/recycling are at various points.
The site location was well signposted, with lovely views over the hills and, from the higher tent pitches and caravans, out to sea.
It was only a 10-15 min walk into town (a bit steep on the way back) and there is a lovely country walk from the back of the campsite which joins the coastal path route back to Swanage.
