Hello.

We are hoping to go camping in Dorset this year with our friends so 4 adults and 8 children. Our friends have a Vango Killington 600 and so far we cannot find a good site that will take a large tent. we are hoping to find one with a play area, a shop, good showers, ehu and hopefully fairly near the sea. Not too much to ask for or so I thought but after spending the last day or so on the net have come up with .... nothing!

 

Please can someone help before i lose my sanity.

Many thanks

Isabel

East Fleet Farm near Weymouth, seems to have quite large tent pitches.

we have booked Rowlands Wait in July, and if you look at the site pics on the enhanced mode it looks like there are some big tents there, has good reviews too, central for all of Dorset.  Penny

Whats with the capital letter for each word? Must be a nghtmare to type and is actually really difficult to read...

BTW, The Inside Park near Blandord Forum is very nice - meets all the criteria except it is 40 minutes from the sea...

I'll second Tigerseye's suggestion of Norden Farm at Corfe Castle, shop, play park, great shower block and about six miles from Swanage. Several price bands for tents depending on size,
