About Corfe Castle Dorset Camping
Tucked into the Purbeck Hills with Corfe Castle's medieval towers within easy walking distance, this friendly campsite makes an excellent base for families exploring Dorset's coast and countryside. Pitches are level and thoughtfully hedged for privacy, while the facilities—toilets, showers, electric hook-ups—earn consistent praise for being spotless and well-maintained.

What visitors say
Friendly campsite ( Google seems to think its a hotel but its a campsite) in a great location for walking to Corfe Castle village or along the Purbeck ridge with good views. Hardstanding pitches are level and site well maintained. Facilities good although temperature control on the showers would be nice as in a heatwave the water is a bit warm. Fantastic for nature as loads of birds, butterflies, dragonflies and visiting deer. Was quiet most of time we were there as not during school holidays. Would use again and recommend. Also the Purbeck ice cream is worth a try.

Stayed here for 2 nights. The pitch was lovely and private for our tent, peaceful campsite surrounded by lovely countryside and conveniently placed 15 minutes walk from Corfe Castle, and 20 minutes drive from Durdle Door. Staff very helpful. Toilet and shower facilities very clean. What could be improved are the showers themsleves. They're very high pressure and one temperature only (quite hot), and after a hot and sweaty hike, a cool shower would be nice - so being able to adjust the temperature and the power! Other than that, lovely campsite.

Very quiet and tranquil site. Spent five nights here. Although the site is on sloping ground, the pitches are all level and gravelled. EHU close. Only one service block, so you could have a walk to use the facilities. Not a good site for disabled campers. Toilet blocks clean. Showers are controlled with a push button and the water is only warm, not possible to change temperature. Disappointed! Steep slope to toilet blocks, no handrails, so I found the trip to the facility difficult. This site is quite expensive, over £35 per night. The laundry facilities , £4.50 per wash, drier £2.00 for 20 mins, so another £6.00 to dry a load of washing.😕 Waste bins very dirty and full for the duration of our stay.😏 Initially booked for six nights, so asked for a refund for one night and was told no in no uncertain terms.🤷♂️ Tourist information room very good and plenty of information.👏 Wouldn’t recommend or return.

Great little campsite thats only 20 minute walk to Corfe with its pubs/eateries, station & buses to surrounding area. Stayed on pitch 21 which is 3/4 hedging so was great in the hot May bank holiday. Staff were friendly on arrival & approachable. Shop has the basic camping stuff you might have forgotten (washing up sponge for us). No problem with facilities , all clean throughout 3 night stay. If in area would stay there again.
