What visitors say
Beautiful dog friendly campsite, with many animals on site (including wild deers chilling by the campers!). Peacocks are loud, but no problem in a camper van - unsure if we were in a tent though? Very nice big dog area, where pets can run free and careless. Easy walk to Corfe Castle (15-20’) and super close to the Swanage railway (although you cannot hear it). Nice shop on site with so much stuff. Definitely recommended.

Fairfields Farm caravan & camping site review Very nice campsite. Adult-only. We took our motorhome there, and our 2 large retrievers, and stayed 4 nights. Facilities are good; fresh water points, sluice and grey waste point. They have showers inside a gents/ladies toilet block, but also a block of 6 showers next to it. Toilets look dated though. There is a small shop which stocks basic food and other items, including some camping products. The shop also had milk, eggs and bread. There are good places within the site to walk dogs. There is a dedicated dog walking field, which is claimed to be secure. However, on one side of the field is a large ditch but no fence there, so be careful with inquisitive dogs near the ditch. The farm has a few pigs, ponies, fowl and geese to look at. Pevensey & Westham station is a short 1/4 mile walk away. Pevensey castle 3/4 mile walk. The Royal Oak & Castle pub 3/4 mile walk, with good food. Tesco and other supermarkets are a 1.5 miles drive. A small gripe is that we had an uneven pitch (no 23), and couldn't get the vehicle level, even with chocks.

Nice enough site. Good location close to railway station and village with several pubs. Facilities are clean and offer good value. Both reception staff and wardens were very friendly and helpful. For me, this site felt slightly odd - there appeared to be several people living on site full time and this affected the atmosphere somewhat. But that’s just a personal view
