 We arrived later than planned, and finding the entrance from the very narrow lane was tricky. However it was worth it. A beautifully tranquil spot overlooking the Dorset fields and hills, with calves just over the fence. We had the site to ourselves, which was lovely. The shower block is great, with a large washing up room too. No-one came to meet us, so needed to go to find the owners before we left in order to pay.

Lovely little working farm campsite. Peaceful, quiet, beautiful. Ideal for a quiet break.
Extremely friendly owner who is always happy to help and show you the workings of the farm and surrounding area. Camping area is the edge of a large empty field, although this main field is also opened during August for tents.
It has 6 electric hook up points, and plenty of additional space for those not requiring electric. During summer the site uses a porta-cabin which includes 2 showers (via tokens), 2 WC's and a kitchen area. It's showing it's age - but this is a working farm, not the Hilton - and you get what you pay for. But it was functional and adequate. We normally use the facilities in our caravan, so none of this worried us much.
During our stay it was extremely quiet with only 2 other caravans and a tent for a night. Perfect! Just what we love The owner happily offered to show us (my wife and I, and our 3 year old daughter) around the workings of the farm and we even 'helped' put some of the animals to bed. My little girl still raves about this experience. It made a huge impression on her - memories we will treasure. It was perfect and such a lovely experience offered by the gracious and friendly site owners. Thank you!
The roads to the site are narrow, but come from the A35 and you'll be fine. The website gives suggestions which I advise you adhere too. Try and avoid busy periods. We never came across any cars coming the other way as the roads were very very quiet.
The campsite pitches are adjacent to the road, but a car/tractor only passes about once an hour - so certainly not an issue!
Camping price was extremely cheap at around £13 a night for a caravan (can't remember exactly, sorry).
I genuinely wish to say THANK YOU to Sylvia.
In my opinion, this is a perfect site to explore the area and relax.

Visited this site on the strength of it being recommended by CC&C as a place to visit for the half term. Went with teenager and a dog as well as ourselves in a caravan.
Firstly, as mentioned by other posters, this site is tricky to get to in terms of windy narrow lanes, more so with unannounced roadworks about a mile outside the site. The campsite does tell you NOT to approach from a particular direction, so I wonder how that was in comparison to what we experienced.
The site itself is quiet, with 5 gravel hard standing pitches and area for camping - all with EHU. The owner was not there when we arrived, but she turned up within the hour.
Pitches are level, with a tree line to the rear, which shelters the noise of cars. To the front was a field which was empty by day, but a few deer visited at night :-)
Facilities wise, there was a shower/toilet portacabin but this was closed, and also a shower/toilet (70p tokens which are sold to you by the owner) at the back of the farm house (it is actually part of the farm house with access from the inside by the owner - this could be a little embarrassing if you are sat on the loo. ). Not the best floor (bare concrete) to step onto after a nice shower.
Located close to Lyme Regis/Bridport, the site served our purpose of exploring, but the approaches to the site will probably put us off visiting again which is a shame as it is a nice cosy little site.

Spent three nights on this sites it is a real bad place to get to Sharpe bends narrow lanes which we were not told about when we got there the pitches was water logged we arrived after a 7 hour journey waited a round for the owner who was not home when we got there she arrived later for her money we explained the pitches are badly water logged she just said it because there a lot of clay around yet we were at the highest point on the farm the ports cabin for toilets was shut and we had to use the toilet attached to house which you had to buy tokens for 70 p but we warned if you need a number 2 they can come through to your toilet through there house the site got a lot of old farm stuf around did not enjoy stay felt dirty with all the mud also the day after we arrived the road was closed for road works which was shut for three weeks again was not informed made it very hard getting the van out down the narrow roads I don't feel this site should have people staying on until drainage is sorted plus the site is not clean

Visited this site with family; we were in a touring caravan and they were in a tent.
Firstly, I do think there should be a mention of the very narrow lanes to get to this site. The lanes had few passing places and a less experienced tower would struggle to gain access to the site.
The facilities, unisex, were basic but relatively clean. Showers were run by tokens (£0. 70 per 5 minutes). Unfortunately some of this time was taken with the time it took the water to get to temperature. The token meter is on the opposite wall to the showers, which could also impact on your allotted 5 minutes. You can, however, use as many tokens as you want for your shower.
The site, apart from the first few pitches, was fairly level. The pitches were a decent size and Mrs Crabb was more than happy to let us choose which pitch we wanted. The site was lovely and quiet, with no road noise.
Although we didn't use the local pubs, I certainly wouldn't want to walk to them in the dark, as the lanes are very narrow.
I felt the cost of £16. 00 per night was a little high for the facilities on offer.
Enjoyable 3 nights as close to areas of interest.

Basic campsite situated in a partitioned field. Toilet and shower blocks are unisex and there's not much space in the shower cubicle to undress etc. As mentioned by prior reviewers the showers are metered and require tokens at 70p for about 5 mins. Unfortunately the meter's for the showers are outside the cubicles requiring a bit of a dash.
There's no lighting on the site, which means a torch to visit the toilets after dark, on the plus side if it's a clear night you have a good view of the night sky.
The Shave Cross Inn is about 1/3 rd of a mile away and does nice food and drink.
The lanes to the farm from both directions are narrow and I'm glad I didn't have to tow a caravan there.
The campsite owners sell some home made produce including honey, chutneys and cider. We purchased some of all of these items and the chutney and honey are lovely, unfortunately although we tasted cider from the barrel, which we enjoyed, the 3 bottles we purchased were sour and ended up being poured down the drain.

Just returned home from a stay at Bluntshay a little disappointed to tell the truth. The toilets/showers were unisex and not very private. They were adequate however they seemed not to be attended to through out our weeks stay. There was insufficient lighting on site, so using the toilets/showers at night was not an option, as the walk to the block was in total darkness. The road to the site was very narrow/tight no matter which way you chose to travel, we would NOT recommend anyone with a medium to large caravan consider using this site as the roads in/out are bordering on the ridiculous, even to travel without your unit is very tight. The entrance to the site is narrow and having a large van proved difficult to get in without catching the hedges(scratches). There were not enough signage to show the way to the site. All said the remoteness and quiet was nice, the pitches were adequate and the owner is a nice lady (although we did not see much of her) We will not be using this site again only because of it location and narrow roads

Enjoyed our recent visit, such a delightfully simple site. Situated on a working farm and on high ground it was the perfect retreat for those not looking for club houses, arcades and noisy neighbours (except the geese, rams and cows haha). If you have a noisy/lively family you're better off on another site to be honest.
Gravelled/grass pitches and plenty of grass camping along with a few hook-ups were all that's needed. The mature trees lining along one edge provides shelter from the wind/weather (except the Easterly while we were there).
The shower/toilet/kitchen block was more than adequate, two of everything except the single kitchen sink which had lashings of hot water. Tokens for the shower at 50p for 5 mins was very reasonable. Drinking water available. Mrs C is friendly and welcoming. A walk around the farm is nice - mind the Rams though! Access to the surrounding area was good and a pub serving good food (Carribean and English) & real ale is a 10 min walk up the lane - dogs welcome, stay late.
So if you're seeking a simple, quiet, good value site which has good facilities then this is for you - I'd happily recommend this site to friends.

A little disappointed with the site to be honest. Didn't care for the unisex toilet and shower units. Had not been told that the showers were on a pay to use scheme, this would have been ok if the box to put the token in had been inside the shower unit not outside. We didn't see the owner apart from when she collected our fees. The walk to and from pitches in the dark to use the toilets is not great and the application of lighting would be much appreciated. A timer switch in the shower/toilet would also be helpful. Overall the site was not quite up to the standard I had expected from the previous reviews.

Wonderful little site we had a great time, a lot of work put into making this a very enjoyable and informative site friendly, tidy, homely and cannot recommend highly enough
We will be back to see the lambing. The walk around the farm is very good lots of information. We are C&CC members but there is room for other people to enjoy this cracking site. There are plans for new shower blocks, so it can only get better
