We like http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/results3.asp?search=wareham+forest&by=sitename. We have been a few times - although check with them re the size of your tent.

I recently came across this site http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/results3.asp?search=wilksworth&by=sitename in the search and it sounds and looks nice.  It is a contender if we ever get away this summer. The reviews look good.

Golden Cap and Highlands end near Bridport are lovely parks good pitches and the sceneray is second to none. Highlands end has a pool and bar/restaurant and if you stay at Golden Cap you can use there facilities as well :)

We favour East Fleet, been there 3 times now.

Be sure to take your lads to the Nothe Fort in Weymouth, I'm sure they'll love it and it's reasonably priced, but park in the town and walk. The car park at the fort is horrendously expensive!


We second East Fleet as been there 4 times now.  Tent pitches have good view of the Fleet Lagoon (which is part of Chesil Beach) with direct access to coastal footpath. If you get good weather there are stunning sunsets

Weymouth is only 3 miles by car and there is also a bus service from outside Reception if you don't want to take the car.  Lovely safe sandy beach at Weymouth.

East Fleet itself has an excellent washblock in both the Upper Field and Stable Field - I think they also have family bathrooms.

There's a small kids playpark in the Upper Field next to the washblock and a bar onsite serving food in the evenings.  There is also a well stocked shop.

Lots to do in the surrounding area as well. However, the Sea Life Centre in Weymouth is expensive - £16 per adult!!!!

Just got back from Moreton on Saturday 9.00pm after two glorious weeks, great site with the best site staff Ive come across in any C&CC Site right next to railway station, use the train very good. Akjohson`s right about the pub at the entrance very over the top with beer and food prices, we ate mostly at the Smugglers Inn on the way to Weymouth
