 Spent 3 nights at ridge farm and enjoyed every minute even though the site was becoming a bog this was the weekend of the floods over the uk - the site owners decided to stop cars driving on the grass which really helped - what has happened to the summer of 2007? Anyway enough about the weather my review of the site.
Very clean site - with clean facilities, a great shop well stocked they also had fresh bread and pastries in the morning and hot pies throughout the day.
Fair sized pitches and the site had a great relaxing feel - felt like you were in the middle of no where!
The town of Wareham is just under 2 miles away which has a
Somerfield and a Co-op, a Bakers, Deli and a Butchers plus lots of other little shops (a great old fashioned sweet shop with all the sweets in jars) plus a couple of outdoor stores if you need any more camping bits.
The rest of dorset is a stones through away like Swanage, Weymouth and Poole all a must see.
This site is a great site clean, friendly, peaceful, a great place to go!

Had a lovely few days here at the end of May half term week. Glorious weather helped a wonderful holiday but the site was really good for us. With two small children the size of the site meant that we were confident that they were safe and we could see them from our pitch wherever they were. Toilet facilities were cleaned thoroughly despite looking a little dated from the outside, and were the best we've experienced in our five camping trips so far.
Day trips to Corfe Castle and Studland and Swanage by steam train were all great for the 5 and 7 year olds and the 30-somethings too.
Above all it was peaceful. Would thoroughly recommend for young families who can make their own entertainment.

I stayed at this pleasantly situated site for a couple of nights at the end of the season. As has been said on other reviews the facilities are in need of updating and look a bit stale. I was also disappointed that the lights in the toilet/shower blocks were not switched on until well after dark which is not very customer focused. It was reasonably priced and very peaceful and I would probably go back as it is conveniently situated.

We spent a 7 night family holiday here & were pleasantly surprised. The site is quite small & pleasantly quiet. The facilities are a bit dated, but they were always clean & served their purpose.
The site was clean & friendly.
The couple running the site were a bit unpredictable. The lady was charming, but the gentleman appeared to be a bit grumpy which could be off putting.
The small shop kept the essentials & provided an excellent cool block freezing service.
All in all we would recommend this site for a quiet family holiday. It provided excellent valu for money. If you want a site with lots of entertainment though look elsewhere.
I'd give the place 8 out of 10

We had a lovely week here at this site and the area around it. The site provides basic, but clean facilities. It has a very traditional feel to it. I'd give it a solid 3/5 star rating. Minor quibbles are: I think it is a little pricey for the facilities it provides. We had to pay 20p each to freeze ice blocks and I have a suspicion that the freezer was on a low setting as the blocks never seemed to be fully frozen when we picked them up the following day. The hot water was not always piping hot for washing up plates. There were no lights in the washing-up area so you couldn't wash-up after dark. No shower curtains in the shower cubicles so it was tricky to have a shower without getting some clothes wet or changing outside the cubicle and losing some privacy. But these are minor quibbles; a very peaceful, well maintained site.

We have been going to this site for several years now. It is well located for cycling, walking, boating and fishing. It is about a mile from wareham - walking along the river. Wareham has a supermarket, tackle shop, bakeries and a cafe called the 5 an dime which serves a great fried breakfast. The river by the bridge is free fishing. The site is quiet and has free showers and a shop(limited opening). They prefer people to arrive before 9pm to pitch a place. The ground is relatively flat.
This is a great site.

This was our second visit to Ridge Farm and we weren't disappointed. This is a very well run, small, friendly site. The wash facilities are rather old but kept very clean. There was plenty of room for our three small children to play around the site and were made to feel welcome! We would be happy to recommend this site.

We stayed at this site on April 29th and 30th 2006.
Ridge Farm Camping & Caravan Park is ideally located for touring Poole and the Isle of Purbeck. It is a relatively small site, but it is exceptionally quiet and off the beaten track. It is a short drive to the Saxon walled town of Wareham, and Dorset's excellent beaches are nearby.
The site has a small shop which opens for a limited number of hours each day to sell newspapers and other provisions.
The camping field is quite well sheltered from prevailing winds, and is level over it's entire area. However part of the site was still quite wet when we visited during the May Bank holiday.
The washing and toilet facilities are kept very clean indeed, and are more than adequate. There is also a washing up area which is under cover.
We visited for May Bank Holiday 2006 with our three children, and although we only stayed two nights, it was ideal. We will be returning, and I would certainly recommend Ridge Farm to others.

Spent a couple of nights here during first week of August. Small flat site, very clean and very friendly. The shower-block / washing up facilities are ok but could do with updating. The shop was well stocked. Not much for kids to do on-site but there's so much to do / see on Purbeck that it didn't matter. Use Wareham for Somerfield / swimming pool etc. Would definitely stay again.

This is a lovely campsite although small. We were there over the BH weekend and it was very busy but not overcrowded. There are well marked pitches and a lovely little shop selling fresh croissants every morning - you have to be quick when it's busy! There is a reasonable shower block. covered washing up area and little washing room. The only problem we had was that because it was so busy the hot water ran out a couple of times and there wasn't anywhere specific for the children to play. Everyone was very friendly though and we would definitely consider going there again!
