We have just returned from a fantastic bank holiday weekend break at Higher Moor Farm. We cannot praise the site enough, we have stayed at many sites around the UK and Higher Moor Farm has just been added to our favourites list. A lot of time, effort and money has recently been put into this site and it has paid off.
The new toilet block is amazing, and is kept spotlessly clean. Even the older ablutions block beats others I have seen. The washing up facilities are great, I have never known a site provide washing up liquid (it was Fairy too!). There was a children's play area, ball area with goal, basketball net and table tennis. Our dog enjoyed using the small but adequate dog walking area at which poop bags are provided. The laundry room had great facilities, washing machines, dryers, microwaves, a freezer and electrical charging points. The washing lines were also very useful. There was free wifi that was reliable and fast enough to use Skype. The shop on site is brilliant. It stocked everything we needed including lots of local produce at reasonable prices. Higher Moor Farm and all of its facilities could not have been be presented any better.
On arrival we were able to choose our pitch. There was plenty to choose from and a variety of hard standing/grass, electric/no electric pitches. Being in a camper van we chose a hard standing pitch with electric. We had our own water tap right next to the pitch too. We were even supplied with our own rubber door mat! The staff at Higher Moor farm a very friendly and helpful, it was lovely to pop into the shop for a pack of sausages and leave 20 minutes later after a good natter! The site is situated in a picturesque Dorset village just outside of Weymouth. There is an electricity pillion in the top corner of the site but it didn't bother us at all. It was a lovely quiet and relaxing country setting.
I really cannot fault Higher Moor farm and it's staff. I would go back there every weekend if I could!
There are plenty of flat pitches, on approach is looked very crowded
We had a warm welcome & on arrival we were driven round in a golf buggy so we could choose our pitch, as we have a 5 yr old we decide to be within sight of the play area.
We had 2 day rain & the pitch was well drained
The newest shower block was clean & modern - it would be nice to have a family room too.
The farm shop is a little gem, lots of local produce news paper & ice cream.
Weymouth prom is lovely with a lovely beach with swing boats & trampolines
On a rainy day we visited Dorchester & went to the Dinosaur museum & the Tutankarmun Exhibition- both good value & ideal family trips.
Unfortunately after 2 sleepless night caused by noisy neighbours we came home early
Initially we were pleased by the sites response to a group of teenagers who were asked to leave, worse to come was the trouble from a noisy foul mouthed teenage girl who continued to scream & swear in front of our children as we were packing up.
After 3 visits to the reception we were told that they were to busy to deal with it until later- this poor response has lead to our decision not to return
We have just returned from our chilliest camping trip ever but the camp site and the staff more than made up for the cold weather and biting Easterly wind. We managed to survive our planned 4 day stay despite the weathers efforts to send us packing!
As it wasn't very busy when we arrived we were spoilt for choice when deciding where to pitch our tent. There are plenty of EHU pitches but also plenty without for those who don't want this facility. We settled for the top of the field (which is gently sloping but the pitches were fairly flat) where we enjoyed the views of the rolling hills of Dorset. We noticed the pylons (since you can't miss them!) but they didn't bother us at all. When the wind stopped blowing we could hear trains occasionally and the road in the distance. We didn't find any of these things intrusive.
Unfortunately we had a problem pitching as one of our metal (rib) poles broke after a strong gust of wind blew at an inconvenient moment. The guys who were doing some work by the play area were very helpful and did a temporary fix for us however when we tried to get our tent up for the second time the pole broke again. We thought that was it - end of our holiday before it begun. However they saw us packing up and dashed up to see if there was anything that they could do. Those guys were amazing - our broken pole disappeared off to the workshop whilst they phoned a couple of nearby camping shops to see if they stocked what we needed (sadly they didn't) however the guys found a solution to the problem and then 4 men helped us get our tent up. We have never had customer service like that at any other campsite we have been to in our 7 years of tenting. Needless to say we were very happy and impressed with the cheerfulness and the banter as these lovely people put so much effort into saving our holiday.
The toilets and shower blocks were kept spotlessly clean. When we were there there were 3 toilets and 2 showers each for the boys and girls. There were 3 hooks in the shower cubicles (perfect for me as I have a bag with clean clothes, one for the dirties and another for the towels so there was a hook for each). There were also doors to the showers which meant everything didn't get soaking wet which was great. There are hooks in the communal area of the showers that are useful for coats and a bench that meant I could sit to dry my feet before putting on my socks and shoes. These facilities are better than many campsites we have stayed at. We were told that another block of toilets and showers with more washing up facilities are due to arrive next week. The foundations for them are already in place. When the site is full these will be needed!
There is a lovely little shop where you check in which was manned all day every day we were there. Our son enjoyed popping down there and we visited every morning and had a coffee (there's a coffee machine @ 50p a cup) and a chat. There are the essentials you'd need from risotto meals to posh pot noodles (I thought one was called beef poo!), ready meals, cakes, bread rolls, sweets, ice cream and loads more besides.
There is a fenced off play area with a wooden climbing frame and some swings which is great for younger children. There's a ball play area with a basketball hoop and table tennis. There's a dog walking area though I didn't check this out since we don't have one. There are picnic tables dotted around the site and a pair of wooden chairs in the corner near our pitch. If it hadn't been so unseasonably cold we would have enjoyed using them. There are plenty of water taps and bins with recycling stations around the site. There is a laundry facility however as our stay was a short one we had no need to use it and I didn't get round to checking it out.
There was even washing up liquid provided in the wash up area - again this is a first and demonstrates the attention to detail.
The location is very good as Weymouth and Portland are a short drive away which also gets you to Chesil Beach. Dorchester is not much further away in the opposite direction so there is easy access to shops, museums, beaches, cinemas etc without the need to drive for miles and miles. Poole is approx 30/45 minutes away on the A35 and Swanage, Corfe Castle and Wareham in the Purbecks are not too far away either.
We felt valued as guests and were made very welcome. The staff were friendly and always cheerful and as you can see from the above very helpful - nothing was too much trouble. We came away (on the sunniest and warmest day with hardly any wind typically - having experienced snow flurries 2 days previously!) feeling as though we had made new friends. This site is very family friendly and offers excellent value for money. With customer care, which is very important to the owners, like that this site deserves to do well. Our heartfelt thanks go to the team that make Higher Moor Farm Campsite a special place. We will definitely go back and can't wait for our next visit.
We have just stayed here for 4 nights, this site is worth a visit, the proprietor is warm and welcoming. The site itself is exceptionally well maintained and very spacious, excellent play facilities for children and a clean and safe environment. The on site shop is well stocked with every day essentials and a lovely selection of home/farm produce.
The shower and toilet facilities are exceptionally clean, although a little cold. The showers have good power in them, But! there are only 2 male and 2 female and they are fixed head units, which are no good for showering young children, and there is no temperature control. A new additional shower block is due to be constructed so this will be an added bonus.
Overall we would recommend this site and I am sure in time it will win awards.
On arrival we were met with a very warm welcome! The site was very clean and spacious, the toilets and showers very clean and tidy although the owners are building a new shower/toilet block. Ample space for both children and pets to roam. Myself and my family really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend you come and stay here. It is close to Weymouth town centre with plenty of places to visit. The site shop holds a good selection of products ranging from everyday essentials to a bit more luxuries if required. We will be making another visit very soon.
Set in 15 acres of breathtaking countryside,right next door to the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, this site offers stunning views of the Chesil Bank, Fleet Lagoon, and Lyme Bay. Welcoming tents, motorhomes and caravans, this family friendly site offers spacious grass pitches with or without electric. For kids there's an outdoor heated swimming pool, 3 acre playing area including slides, swings and more.
Facilities include toilets, showers, washing up, launderette, and WifI. There is an onsite shop and off-licence. The Bar in the Barn at the site serves a delicious food and offers a variety of entertainment, including live music. As well as the attractions of Weymouth's beach and harbour, this is a great base to explore family attractions throughout South and West Dorset. Find out more here
A lovely little site, only problems to note is that their is no curfew so if you have noisy neighbours drinking, singing etc. Till 2am as we did, then not very good.
The pitches are a little small on hook ups, rather up close and personal.
The facilities where good although showers a little small if having to shower a small child at the same time as yourself. The play equipment for the children was great and allowing dogs a exercise area was good idea.
A good site but I doubt we will be staying there again.
My husband and 2 children stayed at this campsite towards the end of August and had a most lovely stay.
The showers were spotless, the site was clean and tidy and we were right in the heart of the Jurassic Coast and able to explore Weymouth, Chesil Beach and even go onto Lyme Regis which was just so lovely. We did a lot of walking too.
What we liked most about this site was how peaceful and quiet it was. We were able to relax in the evening with a nice bottle of wine and look out of the Dorset Countryside.
This site is very well run with friendly staff who care about you which we appreciated. Someone came round every evening to see if we were ok and these small touches make a difference.
We chose to stay at this campsite firstly because of the very reasonable price per night.
We pitched at the top of the field near the play area, and although the pylons were noticeable at first, we soon forgot they were there.
As it is a new site there were only basic facilities which Daniel informed me they would be looking to upgrade in the future, however we never needed to queue for toilets & showers. They were kept clean and topped up with handwash and toilet roll. Also, in the shower block there was a rack full of leaflets of things to do / places to go. Very useful if you don't know the area.
Very good idea to have a mobile charging point and a freezer for ice blocks however If you are going to put ice
Packs in don't expect to get yours back but you can take what is there.
People were complaining at times about the lack of hot water at the washing up sinks however if you don't go at the busiest times the water was extremely hot - or boil a kettle!
We opted to stay an extra night however if it had not been fully booked over bank holiday would possibly have stayed even longer.
For any bigger supplies there was a Morrisons 5 minutes drive away or there was an m&s with bread, milk etc 2 mins up the road.
Will definitely be going back next year to see how the site will be developed.
Thank you Daniel & your team for an enjoyable relaxing week.
Following the directions we turned off into Nottington Lane. The road got narrower and I prayed we wouldn't meet anything coming the other way! We did! There was no way I was backing up so some very careful edging past each other and we got through the village. I nervously carried on and then we saw the site sign! Relief!
We pulled up and after the barrier opened, looked for our pitch. As promised there was a reserved sign and we pulled up. We needed a pitch with electric near to loos for disabled hubby. I rang the site number and confirmed with staff we had the right pitch!
The site was clean with short cut grass. There were showers and toilet block which I understand are to be replaced with permanent buildings. The blocks were regularly cleaned though. Although they will certainly need more by next year. The site was quiet, just the noise of children playing and adults laughing. All good signs!There is a ball games area with football goal and basketball net and a outdoor table tennis table appeared too! There was a buzz from the pylon but that cannot be helped.
Staff came round a couple of times a day so any concerns could be met if required. We had none. We had a very pleasant, peaceful week and look forward to seeing the facilities as they appear. Its a very good start for a new venture. 'Pizza on the hoof' was pure inspiration (mobile pizza wagon!) We wish them well!
We left it quite late to book for the bank holiday weekend and were pleased that there was room on the site.
It was the best site we have ever stayed on. The owner Daniel could not be more helpful and grateful that we had arrived as the weekend weather forecast was dire at best.
It was beautifully located with lovely view, very quiet and had excellent facilities despite teething problems with a few things. Very clean and even had clothes pegs on 3 washing lines, gratis ice blocks and phone charger point. Wi Fi too. Daniel even took us to the pub on sunday evening for a sumptuous meal in The Ship. A woodburning Pizza man made a site visit too!. There was table tennis, football goal and basket ball hoop available for the children and a designated dog walk area.
Altogether a lovely weekend, very convenient for Weymouth and surrounding area.
