 This is a Caravan Club, member only site, but it is an affiliated site, so does not have quite the same high level of organisation as a Club site for some reason.
There wasn't much of a welcome from the site management and they are only around for an hour in the morning and evening.
It is basically a very large equivalent of a certificated location, being a field, water taps and a toilet emptying point which is some distance away from the pitches, so much so we had to put the toilet cassette into the car to drive there.
The site's website says there are sea views from the site, which is why we went there, but there are no sea views from the pitches to our disappointment. There are sea views on the route into the site, but as the roads are so narrow on the approach you can't take your eyes off the road to look at them. It is a winding 6 miles from the main road to the site, some of which is quite scary with a van on the back, so try to miss peak times for tourists, school buses etc.
If you like solitude, self-sufficiency and walking, this is the site to go to. But do your homework on the route in, and on things to do as there is no information on site. The nearest supermarkets are expensive Somerfields in Swanage and Wareham, so stock up in Weymouth and Poole when visiting there. Corfe Castle is lovely. Take the chain ferry over from Studland to Poole to get to the large beach in Sandbanks. Recommend the Halfway Inn near Corfe Castle, and also a trip to Portland Bill.

Brilliant site, Just the way we like it :) For the first night we were the only people in the field and so we were able to let the dogs run around without too much concern.
Really cheap and paid to the friendly farmer who comes round in the mornings.
Lovely walks, and the nearest pub is pretty much walking distance although its more of a restaurant than a pub, and no dogs were allowed in.
If your looking for real basics with little interference from anyone this is a great base to explore the local area. Would definitely stay here again

Spectacular views from here though some of the pitches are very sloping. Wonderful peace and quiet and well worth the slightly scary journey through the narrow lanes to get there!
Great access to the lovely sights of East Dorset, Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and Swanage are just 3 that we went to.
Definitely worth another visit.

Lovely site in a field surrounded by other fields and a country house. As per other reviewers this site has no toilet / shower block, but this I see as a real plus as it is a non commercial feeling site.
Suitable as a retreat rather than a kids holiday.
We had a great time and explored the local area which had nice beaches and interesting towns and villages. very good value for 12.60 per night for 2 people and a caravan including electric.
Highly recommend the New Inn which is in Church Knowle on the road to kimmeridge. It calles it's self a fish resteraunt but the menu is massive and includes 50% non fish dishes.
Would certainly visit again.

Lovely site, and stunning views on the drive to get there. No shower block or toilets, but very peaceful and lovely walks nearby. The owners were very helpful, our hook up lead wasn't long enough but they lent us one for the duration of our stay. I would definitely go back again.

A quiet site even on Bank holiday weekend. Grass pitches some of which are on a slope, no toilet or shower block. Beautiful location with a lovely 20min walk to the coast. Very friendly wardens who took the trouble to make a map of the walk for us. We were encouraged to stay as long as we liked on our departure day. A good introduction for us on our first ever caravan outing.
