The first time I stayed here, Easter 2018, there was not a single second when it wasn't raining to some degree, so this site definitely deserved another chance. A chance I'm glad a gave it, as it is a nice little site, located in a nice little part of the world.
The pitches are large and flat and it is a good site for the winter. The real bonus to the site are its facilities which are very well appointed and spotless, along with nice little touches such as a charity book stall.
Locally there are some nice walks, although nothing too stunning and maybe nothing for a very keen hiker. There is a great little pub in the village and a nice Italian restaurant up the road which is well priced and good quality.

Stayed for a couple of nights over what turned out to be a very, very wet Easter.
The facilities were clean and tidy with a good little information point where the owner has taken the trouble to detail some short walks in the vicinity. There's also a washing up sink which is always useful. The showers are on a meter and £1 for 15 mins, they are nice and warm, but I would probably prefer 7 mins for 50p.
Given the really bad weather it was nice to know the car park / hardstanding is nice and flat so no need for chocks, and whilst there was the odd puddle, there was no need to tread out on to mud.
The site is easy to find when you know the village shop is directly opposite, so a handy landmark to look out for. The shop was well stocked and had good opening times.
We did a nice long walk directly from the site using OS maps, it was a shame there was so much flooding, but luckily we wore wellies rather than walking boots.
It'll be nice to return to this site when the weather is a little better as some of the views from the local walking must be great. A good little site.

We visited this site for a week, very friendly couple running the site, only small field, not much of views just trees at the bottom of the hill, where we did see the deers, but the site needs a lot of work doing to it, the toilets and showers were clean, the road or lane as it is, is very noisy and very busy with lorries and buses etc, also didn't feel very secure, as in the early hours we heard cars pulling up on the gravel on the shop front. Ok for a few days but not for a week. 2 pubs nearby which looked lovely, we didn't use them.

This little site is the perfect escape for a relaxing short stay. It's only 30 miles from home and as a members only site we weren't disappointed. A nice level pitch with water and electricity hook up conveniently sited.
Great location for dog walking ( on lead due to livestock) the site owner even provided maps of the walks with a guide to the time it would take.
Can't comment on the child friendliness as we didn't have with us. But they were very dog friendly
The toilet/ shower block was spotless with very new facilities.
The local pub didn't do food on a Sunday evening, so a 3 mile drive led us to The Green Man, as recommended by the site owners. Let's says we didn't need breakfast the next morning.
We even saw a pair of deer, mother and baby, roaming free at the bottom of the field
A wonderful stay in a great site. Will most definitely go back

We've just returned from a wonderful 2 weeks at this lovely site.
Things we liked;
* Big pitches and the choice of where and how to pitch so we could position the caravan to get the sun in our windbreak garden.
* Lovely clean toilet & shower block, 2 of each, all housed in one building. I think the £1 for 15 minutes shower is fair enough, bearing in mind the reasonable price of the site (£16. 50 per night for 2 adults, 2 dogs, 1 baby, awning & electric hook up. It's a flat rate for the pitch, none of that money grabbing paying extra for dogs, awning, etc that other sites do. ).
* Local amenities. There is a village shop directly opposite the site, a pub a couple of minutes walk one way up the road and a lovely little cafe a few minutes walk the other way.
* Local walks. There are fields next to the shop opposite the site where I was able to give the dogs a good run around away from roads. (There are 'dogs off lead can kill livestock' signs on the stile into the field. When I was there the field had been used for growing crops so no livestock to worry about, but have a good look before letting your dog off to be sure!). If that field is out of action, there are other fields a couple of minutes walk away up the footpath opposite the pub where dogs can have a good run around.
We also had some lovely walks a little further afield using our OS maps. Blandford Forest is lovely with lots of well marked tracks both in and around the forest, Bulbarrow hill has stunning views and we also did a nice walk from Winterbourne Stickland to Milton Abbas & back (roughly 7 miles). There are also printed walks provided by the owners in the toilet block.
* As well as the very well maintained grass and hard standing areas for pitching, there is also a very big area of longer grass, plus a separate nature field where I was lucky enough to get a rare glimpse of a kingfisher. There are also deer who like to watch what you're up to as well!
* There are water taps by each hook-up so one between 2 pitches, nice and close to the caravan.
* Ths owners of this site are fab and perfectly strike the balance of being around each day should you need them without being overbearing. Both are very friendly and helpful.
Something to note when arriving at the site: The entrance of the site can be easy to miss as you approach from Kings Stag, there are 'campsite' signs but the curve of the road means you don't see it until you're right on it. Thankfully we saw it just in time but my in-laws missed it and had to find somewhere to turn around with the caravan. My parents also visited us and over-shot the entrance too. There is a painted cattle trough with the site name but the grass in front was a little overgrown so obscures it a bit.
All in all, we absolutely loved this site and definitely plan to return. Highly recommended for those who like their sites quiet and relaxed.

This 5 van site is very pleasant and well run. Although it is mainly grass, there are about 6 hard stands suitable for motorhomes, all with hook-up, and water points. The facilities, 2 toilets/2 showers/wash up sink are all housed in one building and are kept immaculate, plentiful hot water and 15 minute showers for £1.
The field is huge, excellent for kite-flying, ball games etc. , but there is no actual play area for children. The entrance is open to the road, so one needs to keep an eye on children and dogs to prevent escapees.
A few minutes walk in one direction takes you to the Antelope Inn which does food at certain times. In the other direction is a café/tea room, open from morning until about 4 pm for breakfasts and brunches. We had a lovely lunch there at quite a reasonable price.
Opposite the site is a village shop selling all the basics, open every day.
The owners are very friendly and come around at least once every day to make sure everything is OK.
This is a quiet, relaxed place to just chill out for a while and we will certainly use it again.

This is a lovely site, the owners were very informative. The site is clean and well set out. The toilet block is excellent with great showers. There is a very good local pup which is very friendly with a good choice of beer, opposite the pub is a play area. The village shop is directly opposite the camp site and has everything you will need.

Daisy Meadow has been open for just over a year and the finishing touches (including a wildlife area and fishing ponds) are still being fastidiously applied.
It comprises very generously sized level hard standings as well as a large level grass area both with ample hook up points and fresh water taps. There is an immaculate toilet block as good as any we have visited in Europe for a comparably sized site.
The site is situated on the outskirts of the village on the road to King's Stag, within the bounds of the village 30 mph speed limit. It carries local traffic between villages and is by no means a busy road. We walked it with our dog and over a mid morning half a mile we were passed by 3 very sedate vehicles. Possibly at the start and end of the working day there may be a little more traffic.
Debbie and Adrian are friendly and helpful hosts who live about 100 yards from the site. They give you a fact sheet when they greet you with details of local ammenities and will do their best to help you fulfill whatever are the aims of your stay. Once this is achieved they will leave you in peace to enjoy a beautiful tranquil setting.
The newly built, very well stocked village shop is directly opposite and village pub 'The Antelope' is 300 yards down the road. We ate at the pub and could not fault the ambience, beer, freshly cooked food or the prices.
The site, the pub and the village are all exceedingly dog friendly.
Being motor caravaners we like to pitch-up then not drive our van again until we leave. This site ticked all of our boxes with handy local ammenities and miles of safe rural walking straight off site.
Daisy Meadow is one of those rare, truly lovely certificated sites that you are almost selfishly reluctant to share. We will certainly return very soon.

Excellent site in rural north Dorset with a large area of hardstanding and a grass area. Plenty of water points and electrical hook ups, plus possibly the best toilet block I have ever seen on a 5 van site - the £1 charge for showers is good value in these superloos. Charming village shop (open nearly all hours) across the road and proper (dogs and all) village pub down the road. There is a little traffic on the road, but nothing serious. Thomas Hardy's 'Vale of the little dairies' is all around you, along with many other attractions and footpaths.
