 Just returned from another stay at Bagwell Farm, and again had a lovely time. We don't usually like to return to the same site so soon (if at all!) but have decided to make this our regular place to stay, when visiting relatives in the area.
The owners are very friendly and helpful. The washing facilities are immaculate (with plenty of hot water)-always important to me. Also the food in the Red Barn is handy, should you fancy a night/morning off from the cooking. There is a small children's play ground that my boys used, and plenty of room for kicking a ball around and not getting in everyone's way.
We stayed over the Jubilee weekend, and although the site was packed, everyone seemed to respect the site rules and kept the noise down late at night.
This really is a beautiful part of the country, and I would highly recommend this site.

Loved Bagwell Farm. We stayed over the jubilee weekend and a few extra days. Weather wasn't the best but the site stayed clean tidy and mud free.
Great site. Friendly site staff. Showers and facilities very clean and no queing. Tried the on site bar, sensible prices so worth a visit to the barn for a beer.
Easy access to many of the local towns et. We visited weymouth, bridport, lyme regis, axminster and enjoyed every minute.
Well done to the site and staff.
We will be back

This was our first visit to bagwell farm and stayed for 4 nights over the jubilee weekend. We had a very nice large pitch near the kids play area and near the newer looking shower block and shop.
We used the shop for just a few things and they seemed to be plenty of stuff in there, like most camp shops they are a little dearer than a supermarket the staff seemed friendly and help full,
The shower block near us was fine seemed clean all the time there, did not go in the other two blocks.
Found the site good and clean, but was disappointed with the bar got in there on the 1st night after setting up about 9:20 pm to find food stopped at 9;00 including take away food and then at 9:45 they called last orders at the bar went back in there on 1 other night about 7:30ish all the tables were full and seemed to be a lot waiting so just stayed for 1 drink and left. Didn't think the bar staff seemed very friendly and the lady serving the food just seemed to shout out the order then plonk it on the table, but the food did look good.
There a nice but very long walk down towards the beach and some great views from the site had a walk round the car boot.
Think this is a nice site and would go back, but for the size of the site they need to upgrade with a bigger bar and food area.

This is a really great site. From the first contact the staff were helpful and friendly. I thought that a £40 deposit was reasonable. The shop has most things that you could want, they even replaced my little boys boomerang when it broke.
There are many toilet blocks to choose from and they are clean. The main block was lovely and warm and spotless. The addition of free hairdriers was really appreciated.
Jack loved the play area and the farm animals so he had plenty to do on site.
We had some really lovely walks down by the Fleet and across the countryside. There are many well marked walks.
This is a great base for exploring Dorset and there is loads to do.
We would definitely return here.

SUPERB SITE! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
We are a family of four (2 adults, 1 x 6 year old, 1 x 3 year old) in a tent, camped for a 5 night break over the Easter holidays. Our friends and their family also stayed on site in caravans alongside us.
The weather wasn't great, we had some sunshine mixed in with rain storms, hail and strong wind. The weather didn't stop us from having a fantastic break though!
We were pitched right beside the park which was an ideal spot as we could see our children playing from our tent. The pitch was on a hill but was flat and the grass was well kept. The site is on a slope but the pitches are all banked so they all seem to be flat. The pitches all seem to be a good size - plenty of room for the tent, space to sit outside and a car. We had a hook up with our tent - which came in useful to run a heater through the cold nights.
The park is fantastic with plenty of play equipment including a new pirate ship style slide/ climbing area, sandpit, children's slide, swings, climbing equipment and seesaw. Our children were amused for hours in there, and were there from early in the morning until the sun went down. The park is very safe and has plenty of space for the children to run around, ride bikes or play ball games.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, giving us tips of places to visit - there was a handy information room with lots of leaflets. They gave us a booklet when we arrived which contained useful information about the site and local area. The shop was well stocked with food, drinks, alcohol, toys and lots of camping gear. They also rented and re-charged camping freezer blocks. The shop was open from early until late so was very handy!
There were two washrooms - we were pitched nearer to the new block. The old block was well equipped and clean but was obviously much more dated than the new flashy one.
The old block had a laundry room which came in useful after a few days of rain to tumble dry to clothes!
The new washblock had great facilities and was very clean. The showers were warm with plenty of space. The best bit were the bathrooms though! They were toasty warm and it cost £1 for a full bath which was perfect for the kids. It warmed us all right up before bed on a cold night!
The bar/grill was open every evening over Easter and for breakfast over the weekend. We didn't taste the food but my husband was pleased with his beer. There was an outside area with benches and some push along toys for small kids but the animals kept all of the children amused. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed feeding grass to the goats and donkeys. We could even hear the donkeys from our tent at times they were so loud!
There was a pub just along the road from the entrance although we didn't use it but there didn't seem to be much else very nearby. We went for a nice walk from the campsite towards Abbotsbury and found a nice country pub beside an iron forge shop.
It was only a short drive into Weymouth so we spent a few days doing different things there in the rain and sun including a brilliant wet trip to Nothe Fort which we all enjoyed.
Overall we would highly recommend this site - everyone in our large group seemed to have a great time, including those in caravans. We have camped many times before on different sites and this is definitely one of the best ones so far!
Well done Bagwell - we'll be back!

Just returned from 5 days at Bagwell Farm. Got to say hugely impressed. Toilet block was immaculate and warm on cold mornings.
Stayed on a super pitch which was a good size, with excellent water, drainage and TV point, well positioned. Most pitches have views of Chesil Beach. Staff were friendly and very helpful, letting you borrow an adapter for the TV if you didn't bring your own.
Shop was well stocked with camping equipment as well as the food essentials and newspapers.
Dog and child friendly, overall would definitely stay again.

A clean, tidy and well kept site with a modern heated facilities block which as we were staying in march was quite welcome!
We opted for the super pitch which was on hardstanding which although quite expensive does make life a little easier during the winter months.
The staff were friendly and helpful. There's a path which leads from the bottom of the site directly down to the coast path and the bus service stops right by the entrance.
It is large campsite so I don't think we would want to stay during the peak season

First time to bagwell farm. It's a very nice site also well kept. We stayed on a super pitch and the price was great.
The toilet and shower block where immaculate. They also have a small play area for the kids. It was also kept in good condition and has just been painted.
It's about a 10-15 min walk to the coast where you can find some sand.
The shop on site has a good selection, and everything we needed.
You are only 10-15 min from abbotsbury swannery and farm good for a half day visit.
Would go back as there is much more to do in the area.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.

We have just returned from this site having stayed for seven nights. We found our pitch was more than spacious enough for our tent and car we even had a little room to spare as I had taken the precaution of booking an extra large pitch. I also paid extra to have a water point on our pitch, a mistake I would not make again if I decide to return, which we probably will, as there are more then enough taps around, all easily reachable from all pitches and never more than about thirty feet away. All pitches on the lower half of the site appear to have EHU points, with an upper field for none EHU pitches. There are also a pitches with hard standings for motor home and caravans, some of which appear to be fully serviced. We only used the sanitary facilities in the new toilet block, which were kept spotlessly clean, and were heated, making using them more pleasurable. There was always warm water, if you let the shower or tap run for long enough, bearing in mind the site was very quiet whilst we were there.
They also provide a very large field to exercise dogs, though this could do with an extra dog doo bin or two. You can also walk down the foot path to the Fleet, and around the footpath down there which follows the Fleet. There can be some road noise on this site from the B3157, this road runs to Weymouth one way and Bridport in the other direction, which makes it more busy than you would expect, mainly at commuting times.
Although it is a touring park, and is open only for touring caravans, motor homes and tents, it has a lot of touring caravans on there which look as though they have been on the same pitch for a very long time going off the amout of ladders underneath the vans and the large plastic storage boxes by them, I would say some of them are there permanently. So through the summer I can imagine that it will be far more busy at the weekend then during the week.
This site is open all year round, but, The Red Barn IS NOT. We were not told this when we booked. We only found out when we arrived that this facility only opens from Easter to the end of October. The good news is that a short walk down a foot path over an adjoining field brings you to the Victoria Inn, which does food, also if you have a dog which is well behaved the landlord will allow into the pub if it is not too busy.
Overall we found this a pleasant site, well maintained, and it will be going onto our list of possible return to sites, although we do like to try somewhere different, you know how it is.

I don't know why we have never found this site before, it is excellent. The new toilet block has added much to the quality especially in winter.
It is a large well run site which may be a bit less attractive in high summer to those of us who like a quiet life but I am told by other campers that they do not let standards drop.
The staff were friendly and helpful even at 8pm on a very cold winter's evening. The whole site was spotless and the dog walk/recreation area is large and conveniently placed.
There is also direct access to the coastal path and the Fleet where I am told the wildlife and sea birds are fantastic. Due to a snow forecast I did not have time to try these out myself.
We will return later in the year.
