Shame the list does not include East Fleet Farm Chickerell, weymouth.
Now that is an awsome campsite
see reviews in funplacetobe top of the camping forum page.

I wouldn't stay on a Bedlam.. sorry, Haven site, if you paid me.

Not camped at any of those but the True lovers Knot is a pub with camping - nice spot very rural.

Great - thanks for the info so far. Agre with the Haven comment but for 95p per night thought it may be a worth a punt, if in a good location

Ok .. good point the Haven weymouth sites are far removed from the town...
the one Haven Littlesea is the best aof a bad bunch as it is central to all things.
good walks along the fleet and chesil beach.
you can hop over the road and watch the kite surfers and such.
regular buses to weymouth.
just along the causway is Portland ... well worth a few days as there is so much to see there.

As said, East Fleet well worth a visit, can get a little manic during school hols but otherwise a great site.

As for the sites Poole/Wareham/Blandford area ... ever thought about driving just a little further and heading into the Swanage area? Way too much to do to list and some superb sites ... Burnbake, Tom's Field, WoodyHyde and Downshay Farm, if open, for the views

[dominicgg]

Thanks for all the repliers so far - will take a look at the recommendations.

Has anyone visited the sites I have shortlisted? Would be interested to hear the feedback.

Thanks.

Stayed at both Tom's field & WoodyHyde - both good another one is Langthorns farm - a gate straight into Monkey world or pop across the road to Bovington Tank museum.

We went to Longthorns in July (our second visit). The toilets last year at best weren't great this time they were appalling. The gents consisted of one flushing chemical toilet in a porta cabin and no water to the basin. The smell was awful. Truly the worst facilities I have ever seen. We complained and they said they were new owners and were in the process of sorting it out. If you are planning to go there ring first to make sure they have made improvements.

One we liked was http://www.btinternet.com/~burnbakecampsite/ Very relaxed park where you want.

Cheers for the update - didn't realise it had got that bad.

Rockley is really nice and close to the harbour
