hi aanyone been to east fleet farm before near weymouth just wondering what toll the weather could have on the pitches there think they allocatin us a gigantic pitch on lower field.

it will be ou first tim pitcing the utah just looking for advice on what we can expect if weather bad and which way round maybe we should pitch our tent.

Any advice or help thanks

Stayed in the lower field at East Fleet last weekend and had no problems at all.  The field is on a slight slope so seems to drain well. 

I was right at the bottom of the field, in front of a hedge which bordered the field (the sea was literally the other side!) and even after it rained continuously from Sunday evening through to Monday morning, heavily at times, it wasn't at all muddy.

Hope that helps.

Hello again

I didn't eat in the pub, but it seemed quite popular.  I was impressed with the shop (then again, I only have experience of 2 campsites  ) but they had lots of fresh produce, milk, eggs, bacon etc.  I managed to lose my shower gel and shampoo after leaving it in the cubicle, expected to pay over the odds in the shop but paid £1.05 each for shampoo and conditioner, so that was a very nice surprise.  The shop is open from 8am to 8pm, which was useful.

Loads of camping gear in the shop too, fairly competitively priced. 

I really liked the site and the Lower Field was not at all muddy, despite the rain.  If you're on one of the larger pitches, ie up from where I was (mine was 283), then you should have a good view of the sea   Also, the larger pitches are near the toilet/shower blocks.

Hope you have a great time

Sorry to hijack your post pubgal21 but I just wanted to tell Wendbert that her two boys are adorable. 

I love the photo of the pair of them in your gallery Wendbert!  They are beautiful!
