 The site was easy to find and access and is in a great location for access to Weymouth. It was well looked after and clean with excellent facilities. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and I would certainly recommend this site for anyone travelling in the Weymouth area.

Just returned from a week at Bagwell Farm. Facilities on site very good. Shop open long hours and stocked anything you may want from food/milk to camping basics.
Toilet blocks very clean - seemed to be cleaned 2 or 3 times a day. Queues for showers in morning,but could be avoided by showering middle of the day. Also I think the older facilities block might have been less busy with more showers (but further to walk from our pitch)
It is August so the site was busy and there was a bit of noise from fellow campers. We were very near The Red Barn but there was no noise from there. The takeway fish and chips was very nice, and welcome on our first night!
Our 8 year old and 5 year old liked the animals (goats, geese and donkeys). Playground was large but tended to be dominated by the older kids.
Weymouth beach very clean. Also visited Studland Bay beach (National Trust carpark £8 for day or free for members). The Blue Pool - tranquil woodland with some playground facilities. Dorchester dinosaur museum was expensive and very crowded on wet day. Cinema in Dorchester good value at £2.50 per seat during week - also good for wet weather!
Would return to the site - but it was a long drive from Suffolk and the roads around Dorchester /Weymouth were really busy.

Just off the B3157 between Langton Herring & Chickerell and next to the Historical Smugglers place Moonfleet lies this beautiful campsite that has standings for tents, caravans & touring RV’s. On arrival of the site it is clean, grass short & green and a children’s play area that is safe big enough for a few class rooms of children to play. Small but well equipped shop has nice welcoming staff & has recommendations & helpful advice of the surrounding areas for you to explore. The grounds house Caravans/RV’s on the upper level & Tents, Tourers & Caravans on the lower with loads of pitching space for tents that could take a 10 man tent with ease. The pitches are clearly marked & also with a site map its fool proof. Plenty of water taps around the site & with waste areas all over the place there was zero rubbish around on the floor. A total of 3 toilet/shower blocks including a newly built one near the shop area were all clean & always clean even in the busy hours as staff were on site making sure they were well equipped (toilet roll was actually nice to use!). Showers were supplied with hot water all the time in all the blocks and the new block even had baths (which didn’t use as showers were spot on). At times you did see staff going around with waste bags pick up any rubbish. Washing up areas were also plenty so no queuing and the middle blocks had a washing area for clothes, washing machines & dryers just in case you got caught in the wet. Chemical disposal point was in the middle of the block & you didn’t even notice it as it was always clean. With the weather being hit and miss over our stay the site was never bogged down, muddy or pooled up and dried up fast if surface water was showing. Electric hook-ups around areas of the site & a small BBQ area next to a Campers Shelter which can house up to 25-30 people if the weather got really bad, plus it was a place for children to play & eat in as there were tables & a wash area inside.
The site allowed to have dogs on as long they were on a short leash at all times, did notice a few not leashed but were well behaved & stayed with there owners.
The site restaurant/bar had a limited food line, a touch pricey but the food was really good & the steaks came from their own farm and tasted marvellous. Nice selection of drinks & a good local brewed ale called Piddle – good & tasty. Breakfast was good for the £3.50 price & included a big mug of tea, good way to start the day if you can’t be bothered to cook in the morning. Next to the pub was an area for donkeys, goats, geese etc and liked to come down to the fence for the children.
On Saturday and Sunday there is a car boot sale in the top field that was quiet busy.
Access to Moonfleet is on foot & about 1 ½ walk or a 2 mile drive.
Chesil Beach is a 10 minute drive up the road with a magnificent pebble ride beach that goes down to Portland. There are tons of walking routes that are accessed from either top or bottom of the site and then you realise how big the site is when you do a short walk.
Weymouth town is a 12-15 minute drive & can be a pain to get to the sea front or quayside at certain times (which later found some quicker back routes thanks to one of the staff)
In the past when I’ve been to camping sites I’ve never really slept right. Bagwell Farm was that friendly the site become quiet around 10pm & silent at 11pm and I had the best weeks sleep in a long time.
We booked this site due to a recon of the 2012 Olympics for Sailing & Windsurfing site in Weymouth/Portland and are glad that this site is our #1 choice for that (we are pre-booked for that now). I do highly recommend this place for a stay in Dorset and will be returning again soon.

As previous reviews have indicated this site is well laid out and does not seem as big as it actually is. The facilities were very clean even though the site was fairly busy. Yes there were a few queues in the new block but you could have easily got in the older block which although slightly dated was very clean. Staff were always friendly and helpful and the shop was well stocked. The other big advantage for us was that the site is away from Weymouth itself in a nice country environment but was only a short drive away which gave us the best of both worlds. Highly recommended for a relaxing stay.

We have just returned from a weeks holiday at Bagwell Farm (6 adults and 3 children). We all have differing ideas about the perfect site; we tend to use Carvan Club CL's. One family prefer big sites and the other family like a mix of both. Bagwell Farm was an ideal 'middle ground'. A large site but with a small feel. Friendly and helpful staff, very clean shower and toilet block, and a play area for our 6 year olds. They also loved the animals.
Pitches are of a good size, and ours was fairly flat. The layout of the site meant that we didn't feel like we were on a large site, there were trees and shrubs separating areas of the site off; it wasn't it until we walked down to the coastal path that we realised the true size of the site.
We didn't use the Red Barn in the evenings, however we did try out the breakfast which was lovely. There wasn't any significant noise from the bar in the evenings.
Great location for Weymouth etc. Would use this site again if heading down to Dorset.

We visited this site for the Easter weekend this year. This is a large site that has all the facilities that you could hope for. The shower block is new and clean but there was a demand in the morning which did mean some queues (the older shower block is just next door but people didn't seem to use this).
There is a site shop which stocks the basics and a reception area with leaflets about local cycle hires, attractions etc. The site also has a cafe which serves breakfast and evening meals and the food was good.
This is a perfect site for children and has lots of space, a playground as well as an area with goats, geese and donkeys who love attention! We would definitely use this site again it was a great place to use as a base for exploring Weymouth, Dorset and the surrounding areas.

Just come back from visiting this site. All previous reviewers have stated how good a site it is.
Staff very friendly and pitches well laid out.
Toilets excellent and look brand new.
You can walk to the coastal path that leads eventually after about 8 miles to Weymouth. The X53 (I think) runs every 2 hours from Weymouth and costs £2.10 to get back to Victoria Inn just before the site.
When we where there they were doing building work near to the toilets which was rather noisy during the day. We would have been grateful if they had told us of this before we pitched up.
Would go again though.

Just got back from a late season last minute break at this site. Have only good things to say about it.
We were travelling with a party of motorhomes and tents all who booked into Fleet Farm just down the road but which doesn't take caravans.
With some trepidation I contacted Bagwell farm by email (just a couple of days before arrival) explaining that I would like to be as close as poss to my friends on the next site. The very kind and helpful lady who replied explained that there was a public bridleway connecting the two sites. The night before we left, I emailed to confirm we would be coming.
Upon arrival we were directed to a pitch right next to the bridleway and were very pleased to discover that we could walk to the other site in about 6 mins (briskly). We were also right next to the goats / donkeys / geese etc which really pleased my 3 year old. (They weren't let out till about 7.30 so it wasn't noisy at night). We were also right next to the barn / pub which concerned me a little but the site was quiet and the pub closed about 9.30 (this may be different at high season)
The new toilet block was lovely and a joy to use. The chemical disposal point was inside in a room of its own all tiled (a first for me) and spotlessly clean.
The site staff were amazingly friendly and helpful.
The play area looked great but we didn't use it. We spent all our time at the neighbouring Fleet farm (which had a very similar layout and toilet block and is probably a 'sister site') Play areas there were great!
Dog walk was large and easily accessible but dogs had to be kept on leads even in the exercise area. I didn't use the exercise area but went out on the coastal path. Which is accessed from the bottom end of the site.
Site shop was well stocked and open pretty much all of the time (I actually drove my friends down from Fleet farm to buy icecreams when their shop was closed.)
I can't really comment on the other local facilities as we only dog walked and played with the children.
We did take a trip to Chesil Beach just 10 mins drive away (all pebbles) on Sun morning to be greeted by an awful lot of fishermen ranging all along the beach in both directions. We found a small space in between them (where someone had gone home) to let the dogs have a swim and the daughter a paddle (not really safe to swim in at high tide - not sure about low tide) but I was disgusted to find 2 fresh fish heads, a plastic bag which had obviously contained the fish, some fish chunks and a ball of line with spinners and 2 hooks just lying on the pebbles And they say dogs should be banned from beaches!
This last comment should not however reflect badly on the quality of the campsite or the friendliness of the staff. If it wasn't quite so far away, I would definitely go for another weekend and soon

We booked this site with some trepidation as there were a number of reviews that said sloping pitches etc.
We were very lucky and managed to get a great pitch though, with a gentle slope - some were more sloping, as you might expect in a valley.
Generally the site was great. The location was excellent and the shop was small but perfectly formed!
There are two main facilities blocks and we were nearer the 'new' blocks which were excellent. Free hot water and showers, little cubicles for washing, shaving etc. And two other washbasins. 4 loos in the block too, so no hanging about. They also have hairdryers in both the gents and ladies.
Also if you have young kids / toddlers, the bathroom is excellent. Cost is £1 for 15 minutes of piping hot water in a modern clean bath with hair washing attachment. Fantastic for our 2 1/2 year old.
Site also had a few lights dotted around and was pretty quiet at night, so no noisy neighbours etc.
All in all I would say this site for the location, the new facilities block and the lovely kids play area (complete with sand pit) would definitely pull us back and we'd visit again.
Also the red barn restaurant is, well, more of a cafe / diner than a restaurant and you need cash, no cards BUT I had a lovely steak there, with loads of chips, mushrooms, peas etc. It was a real treat for camping and highly recommended. Bit pricey though. £46 for two adults and 2 (fair size) kids meals, couple of drinks. OK, not expensive by restaurant standards but I'd have been happier paying £35 than £50 with tip. But, as I say, the food was really nicely cooked, prepared and clearly fresh - lovely.
Kids loved seeing the Donkeys and Goats too and was chuffed to find you can e-mail the donkey (Maisie) before your visit and she mails you back - a nice little touch to get young kids involved. :-)
Well worth a visit if you have a week as there is so much to do around the area in Dorset.
Highly recommended.

Having read the reviews for this site before we booked, we had high expectations - we were not disappointed. The whole experience was good - booking for 3 families on 3 adjacent pitches was straight forward even though I phoned 5 minutes before they closed we still carried on until 20 minutes after they ere meant to close!
The site itself -
Reception - very friendly & helpful
Shop - friendly & reasonably stocked - lots of camping essentials & basics for eating etc. There are numerous shops in the area so nothing more was needed.
Toilets & showers - generally very clean even after the rush, they were cleaned quite quickly afterwards. Never ran out of hot water. The new block was first class. One shower had a dodgy push button which you had to press every few seconds (only a minor glitch), but lots of space in the showers. Never had to queue for long even though the site was full. The older blocks are showing their age, but are always very clean. The middle block is slightly more up to date than the lower block.
Washing up facilities - plenty of them & lots of space - no queuing.
Water - lots of drinking water points.
Play area - not used - cannot comment.
Chemical disposal points - not used - cannot comment.
Weather - forgot to book that, but we had a bit of everything. The site never got waterlogged despite some heavy rain & it quickly dried out.
Donkey & goats - my daughter said hello to them every day.
Site restaurant / bar - we looked in once, but weren't over impressed with the pricing - we never ate or drank in it. It did look friendly enough though.
Surrounding area - it's a fair trek to go to the nearest sandy beach. Weymouth - is about 20 minutes away (inc. Traffic queues), but a pig to park in. There are some nice beaches in the area but most are stony unless you're prepared to drive.
There are loads of shops in Weymouth & Dorchester & several smaller one locally so no problems.
Pubs - we never used to one on site. The Victoria Inn (just down the hill from the site) looked a bit tatty from the outside & we weren't tempted inside. The Elm Tree is about a mile or so away & was excellent for both food & drinks.
Negative points - there is a campers shelter in the camping field - good idea if you need it BUT if you are near to it all you hear all day is the echo of kids playing in it & banging the door! It does get a bit wearing after a while. We were 2 pitches away from it - thank god we weren't next door to it!
Generally though a very good site & a very happy holiday. 9 out of 10

Have just returned from a week at Bagwell on the Rally field. This is one of the best Rally fields I have ever had the pleasure to stay on. The ground drained very very well despite the torrents of rain we had.
The main site had lots of facilities. A lovely brand spanking new clean facilities block. A shop that seemed to be open from very early in the morning and late into the evening. The shop was well stocked with groceries, papers, toys, sweets, a small selection of wine and beers and of course lots of camping / caravanning accessories. The older facilities block was also very clean and a pleasure to use.
There was a very well priced launderette onsite. £2 per load and 20p for 8 mins in the tumbler. A whole large load cost me £2.80 to wash and dry. Lots of hand washing sinks too. There is also a small play area for the children.

We have just spent a week at this site, the second visit this year, in total I don't know how many visits we have had but we first visited before the kids arrived and the oldest is now 13.
This site is in a wonderful location with fantastic views across the fleet and out to see.
The new shower block is great even the sinks have individual cubicles.
The original toilet block is beginning to look a bit dated but is still more than adequate.
The pitches are large and even at the busiest time there seems to be space.
The shop is well equipped and also carries camping supplies.
This is a dog friendly site with a large exercise field.
On our last visit we visited the Fort in Weymouth, very good value for money and we were allowed to take the dog in with us.

This was our 4th visit to bagwell Farm as we love the area and having tried other sites we find this to be the best.
Each time I ring to book, I'm called by my first name and jokingly asked if I require my favourite pitch.And 99.9% guaranteed to get it! This year with friends and family we have commandeered 4 pitches and they have arranged all of us together even though they were booked seperately.That's service for you!
The staff are always polite and helpful, the toilets and showers are cleaned a couple of times daily ( shame some campers can't respect their own and others personal hygiene!) and all the pitches are kept well tended.
The shop is well stocked and, although not huge, it has all your basic needs. If you can't find what you want the staff will tell you where exactly to go to get it!
The site has it's own pub, The Red Barn, and does good hot food if you can't be bothered to either cook your own or go into Weymouth.
The childrens play area is great, all fenced off and large.
Although we go abroad too, we make sure we get our camping holiday to Bagwell Farm every year and shall continue each year if their standards remain as good as they are.
Highly recommended.

We found Bagwell Farm on this site and liked the sound of it. We phoned late (19.00 hrs) on the same day that we hoped to stay there and the booking couldn't have been easier.
Although the office was shut when we arrived, all the details we needed, including how to find our pitch, were waiting for us.
The shop staff were very friendly and helpful.
The (new) shower / toilet / bathroom etc block was wonderful.
The Red Barn restaurant was fine and handy and good value for money.
We would go again and would recommend it to anyone.
Our only negative comment would be that the pitch we were on was not very level. Even with the ramps on, there was still a slight slope, but as we only stayed there for 2 nights it was not a major issue. We did have the option of moving to one of the higher level pitches but decided to stay put.

My second review on Bagwell. Which at least means I liked it enough to come back. We were also on the UKCampsite.co.uk meet and a great time was had by all. The road noise I didn't even notice in the tent(the snow and ice slipping down the sides is a different story though). As said the rally field is great for kids and is nice and roomy.
The new shower block is great, it has ( in the gents ) 4 showers with the fold down seat type thing in a small separate section for changing in each cubicle. 2 open sinks and 2 private sinks it also has a dressing table type counter top arrangement with 3 large mirrors and 2 hair driers. It was also nice and warm and when it has been snowing outside that is brilliant.
Weymouth is a lovely area and a 15-20 drive into the town itself will find all the shops you need. There is also a basic camping shop on the road into Weymouth but instead of turning left at the new traffic lights in Chickerell ( they are trying to keep the Weymouth traffic away from houses ) keep going and it is on the left it looks like a old petrol station.
Really nice place to stay and will be going back again in August.
