About Bullshorn Camping

On the hunt for a pretty and peaceful base for an Isle of Purbeck break? Bullshorn Camping could well be the place – this small and friendly adults-only site has earned glowing praise for its tranquil atmosphere and welcoming hosts. Set up for around 26-50 non-electric grass pitches, it's particularly popular with walkers and cyclists who appreciate the quiet trails threading through the surrounding countryside and easy access to the South West Coast Path for seaside rambles.

Swanage lies just five minutes' drive away, offering a beach, heritage railway and plenty of spots to eat and shop, while the wider Jurassic Coast's beaches and historic sights are all within striking distance. A bus stop right by the site makes car-free exploring a breeze. Back at camp, barbecues and campfires are permitted – perfect for cosy evenings under the stars – though there's also a pub half a mile away if you fancy a change of scene.

Facilities are kept refreshingly simple: smart modern toilets, showers and washing-up areas, with no noisy bar to disturb the calm. Dogs are welcome year-round, adding to the relaxed, back-to-basics charm.

A perfect campsite. Loos and hot showers spotless. Lovely owners and very convenient for buses into Swanage and Corfe 3 min walk. We will certainly be back. Thank you.

Such a lovely campsite, and we LOVED that it was adults only. Big points for that! It was a perfect peaceful break for me and my husband. The location was great, super close to so many beautiful places. The facilities were modern and spotless too. We’ll definitely stay again!

Staff made our stay, lots of local recommendations, nothing was too much trouble. Facilities cleaned twice a day and lovely to meet the passionate family behind this perfectly positioned site. Great central location for both Swanage, Corfe and the wider Purbeck area. Loved the adults only element, can’t wait to return.
