hello all. I'm definatly a novice camper so after some campsite ideas for Dorset. 4 adults, no kids or pets going in early May. I'd like to be fairly near to the coast, but not essential. Just seems so much choice, I don't know whare to start!

Look in the Swanage area ; access to the Purbecks for lovely walks and scenery. Close to lovely beaches at Swanage, Studland, Sandbanks and Bournemouth. Then lots to sea Charmouth, Lyme Regis And Weymouth way too.
Dorset is beautiful and we are lucky enough to live here :-)

West Fleet Farm is great and has the bonus of a good on site bar/clubhouse or if you want views then Sea Barn just around the corners is great

Two or three near Corfe Castle.
Woodyhyde Has Swanage Steam Railway running next to site.

Downshay Farm Normally open Whitsun and July to end of Aug Bank Hol. Handy for Harmans Cross Station for Corfe or Swanage.

Burnbake Can be a bit busy and tents close together.

Hi considering the distance that you will be travelling a very central site for all of Dorset would be WIlksworth Farm, 20 minutes to Bournemouth, 15 minutes to Poole and 20 minutes to the purbeck area of Wareham and then onto Swanage, you can also get to places like Salisbury, Shaftesbury and Blandford very easily.
