 We actually spent the 3rd week of our honeymoon at Bagwell Farm!
The pitches are very large and well market out. Showers are basic but clean. The only problem I found was with the hot and hot water. It needed to be pushed every 60 seconds otherwise the water would stop. This was quite annoying after a while.
The bar has a lovely area to sit outside and served good food.
All in all, we were very happy and we would stay again.

Review note: Only organised groups with their own toilet facilities are booked into the rally field. All individual bookings are given a pitch on the main park which does have toilet and shower blocks and it is possible to request a pitch very near the toilets if required.
We too were part of the UKCS meet on the rally field. I will echo everyone else's comments about the distance to the toilets and showers, we found it easier to drive there each morning. There definitely needs to be more showers, especially at busy bank holiday weekend. I had to queue at 6.45am! But they were spotlessly cleaned and maintained regularly throughout the day. The shop was well stocked and handy, the bar/grill restaurant was very nice and a handy meeting place.
There are some great walks around that area and the views to Chesil beach were fab. We particularly liked the little bus that shuttles back and forth to Weymouth via some other camps. We used that bus a lot which saved the hassle of taking the car, and meant we could have a few pints while watching the Trawler Racing on Bank Holiday Monday, in scorching sunshine. I liked Bagwell very much and would return again.

Bagwell Farm is in a good central location to plenty of attractions in the area. The ehu pitches are terraced with senic views. There is a small shop selling a good range of products including camping supplies, as well as a games room & playpark.
The bar & grill is very reasonably priced (most meals around £5) There is also a pub within walking distance just outside the site, and another at Bagwells sister site further up the dirt track.
Showers are very clean although they could do with curtains, baths cost a pound, but you get plenty of hot water for your money. There is a bus service on site during peak season. The new owners are working on improvements. Looking forward to going back next year

Bagwell was the first site my family went to, five years ago when we began camping. We liked it enough to go back three times. As we hadn't been for a while and knew it was under new ownership, we went at half term.
The site is as we remembered it, well located, quiet and with good staff. It is clean and the shop, a failing with a number of other sites we've been to, is still, despite it's tiny size, excellent - though the food could be expanded in range. We did find that the bar, 'The Red Barn', though still good, seems to have been downgraded by the new owners. It used to supply breakfast, entertainment and was open until 11pm. Now it is only open 5-10pm and has many an advert for the bar at another site - West Fleet.
We really enjoyed the week but feel slightly worried that such a great site may be being 'ignored' by the owners in favour of other sites in their ownership. Hope you enjoy your stay there and would recommend to anyone, but to the owners, please keep things great and invest to make sure!

We have just spent a week here on a rally and were reluctant to leave. The toilets & showers were spotless with plenty of hot water and free hairdryers although I think more showers are needed for a site of this size.
Review note: Only organised groups with their own toilet facilities are booked into the rally field. All individual bookings are given a pitch on the main park which does have toilet and shower blocks and it is possible to request a pitch very near the toilets if required.
It is in a beautiful location with seaviews and glorious sunsets. The walk down to the coastal path is longer than expected but I had the pleasure of seeing a deer run across the path directly in front of me one morning amongst other wildlife. There is a bus that comes on site late morning going to Weymouth and returns at five. We also took along uphill walk up to St Catherines Chapel perched high on a hill but it was worth it as the views were spectacular. This site is definitely worth a return visit.

Bagwell Farm is situated just outside Weymouth in a picturesque fold in the landscape with a view to the sea. We were staying as part of the UKCS meet, and were in the rally field.
Being in the rally field meant a 5 to 10 minute walk to the toilet/shower facilities. Having said that, the facilities were clean, with good hot water in the showers for free.
Review note: Only organised groups with their own toilet facilities are booked into the rally field. All individual bookings are given a pitch on the main park which does have toilet and shower blocks and it is possible to request a pitch very near the toilets if required.
The site also had a pub/bar which was closer, but did not seem to be open as often as some of us would have liked!
Overall, I would definitely consider going back to the site as it offered good value, with the level of facilities I like, including a shop and bar.
One final point to bear in mind, the current owners are relatively new, and they actively sought comments from the UKCS members, which can only mean that they will look to make improvements in the future.

We spent Sping Bank Holiday at Bagwell on the Rally Field. The site was set in lovely countryside, not far from the coast and a few miles from the Town of Weymouth. The kids loved the Sand Pit at the Park, the boot sale on Saturday was great. The only draw back for me was the distance we had to go for the toilets and showers. It was one heck of a walk for those able bodied to do it, let alone someone who is disabled. I ended up having to drive to the toilets as I was unfit to do the walking. It was also very hard for the young children who wanted to go to the loo more than normal, walking that way was a killer. If your on the rally Field then make sure you have your Bucket with lid or porta potti as you gonna need it

Bank Holiday End May 2005. We stayed at Bagwell as part of the UKCampsite rally. And were therefore placed on the rally field over the road from the main site The main site itself is OK but I'd be a bit wary of tenting it at busy times as a fair few of the tent pitches were sloping. But that aside they seemed big enough. And some of them were right next to the Pub ( Bonus ).
Talking of the pub as I frequently do, It could be a little crowded at peak times but if the weather is good I'm sure they would not have a problem if you spilled out onto the grass. I didn't try the evening meals ( those who did said they were good ) but the breakfasts were just what was needed.
The site shop was small but well stocked with the basics and they have a small selection of papers. They also do Ice pack freezing and Gas bottles. Reception is opposite the shop, I never went in it ( hardly saw it open ) but it had the usual leaflets in there. I never saw the games room on the site unless it was the small ( very small ) windowless box attached to the back of the reception. Plenty of bins and water points dotted about, and as people have said the toilet block was old but clean ( there is a changing area in each shower cubicle ). There is a small childrens play area near the entrance that could do with some TLC. and the Farmyard pets corner should not be used as a selling point, but the younger kids seemed happy to see a donkey.
We had a great few days at Bagwell and would go again but not on the main site at mid summer.

We made our choice based on other peoples reviews so thought it only right leave one of our own.
This is a lovely site situated just outside Weymouth, but with 2 small children we weren't bothered. The bus to weymouth stopped outside the shop - we would have used it but with a buggy and all that goes with a baby, driving into town was a far better option. Parking wasn't too bad - £6 per day in the car park behind the pavillion and it was only a couple of hundred yards to the beach.
We were on a level pitch at the top of the slope in the field where the bar was with lovely views of chesil beach. We were there in the first week of the school holidays and it wasn't very busy. Allthough it did start to fill rapidly as weekend approached.
Facilities are getting on a bit but well maintained and spotlessly clean (as was the whole site). There was a bath (£1) to de-sand the kids.
Overall a great site. we had great weather and spent everyday on the beach at weymouth.

We were pleased with this site. Our pitch was quietly located with good rural views. The toilet/shower blocks were dated but nevertheless clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. A short walk from the site brings you to good sea views. The utilities (motorhome service point/chemical waste etc ) were all easily accessible. Well located for a number of local attractions.

Read about this site before going and yes it was everything and more. Our pitch was 245 and I would want to stay on this part should I visit again. We had a caravan and were really pleased we were not pitched on the tiers being our first time in it. Pitch size was brill and this field was pretty flat.
They seemed to be very well organised at this site and was friendly. Toilet facilities were very clean, showers were free, just right temperature and pressure (push button as often as required).
The shop catered for most needs and they even had a bus service into Weymouth and back, roughly 25 to 30 minutes. The kids park was sufficient for 4 to 9 year olds. I would recommend this site knowing what a fantastic time we had.

stayed here for a week at the end of august, we were given a choice of either having a terraced pitch or going on the field in front of the bar/restaurant, we took the one in front of the bar cos it had a nice view overlooking Chesil beach.
When we looked at the terraced pitches we were glad cos if you're not very experienced at reversing a caravan then you may have had problems due to the lack of space.
Toilets were nice and clean and so were showers. The views and sunsets were fantastic, the pitches were a good size.
Shop was not too expensive, but we decided to use a shop in weymouth for most things.
One of the let downs for us was the size of the bar / restaurant, it was way too small for the amount of people on site and always seemed to be understaffed.
Overall this was a very good site and would definitely visit again and recommend it to anyone.

Quite a nice site. The pitches are spacious though most are slightly sloping. Shop was very good but it didn't stock fresh meat for the evening barbie which was annoying. The Red Barn onsite "pub" is nice with decent food at fair prices - good for those rainy evenings! Toilets were fine, showers excellent and free but could possibly do with a few more.
Great location for Weymouth where parking prices are not as horrendous as previously mentioned - maybe it's because I'm a Londoner!
Would highly recommend Abbotsbury for a day out - behind the village carpark there's a lovely tearoom with pretty gardens, and just past it is the excellent Smuggler's Barn with lots of animals and things to do for the kids. Beyond that is the Swannery which is also very impressive. Another place we loved was the Sub-Tropical Gardens with its colonial-style restaurant - beautiful!

A nice site with good clean shower blocks. The site is terraced so pitches are level. A bus runs from outside to Weymouth which is worth using as car parking is dear and hard to find. The site shop is adequate but Safeway is not far away. The site restaurant is good basic food. We did walk down to Chesil beach through the fields and the kids loved the farm tour and animals.

This was our first camping experience as a family. We found this site to be spotlessly clean and extremly well maintained. The staff in the shop and the bar and restaurant were all very friendly and helpful. We visited this site in July and found it to be very quite. we were pitched in front of the bar, to which we were concerned as our children are very young. Our worries were soon over. we did not hear any noise whatsoever, from fellow campers visiting the bar or staff leaving at the end of the night.
We did on one occasion have a wander around the site and found the bottom field very close to the cess pit, we think this may have been an overflow field for busy periods however we would not like to have been put there as it was rather smelly.
The only real downer was the extotionate car parking fees. £6.00 a day in Weymouth in the farthest car park from the beach. DO NOT park in the mulitstory car park as this is £6.00 for 6 hours and then a furthur £2.00 per hour for every hour after this. The campsite does operate a bus service, although we had too much beach gear and pushchairs either our little ones for this to be practical for us.
Beautiful site definately worth a visit.
