:ok

OH YES - it means you can have a field with a portaloo in it and charge £20 / night so that audi driving fools can come and do 'glamping' for a weekend badly making fires out of the the logs you sell them for £5 each!!

Campsites in Dorset anyone?

I found the site dank and dark and immensely over crowded.
The shop was over priced and dealt with my nephew's problem with a disposable BBQ very poorly.
Big disappointment :-(

Agree with you about Burnbake, aload of 80-90's wanted a site where we could have an open fire, and Burnbake was the only one in that area, when we got there in the morning it was fairly quiet and we got a great spot in the trees - nice and private to make a little noise without upsetting anyone - however within a few hours it was rammed!!!! and because there are no set pitches there were guide ropes over each other and approx 10 cm between each tent/camper!! :shock:

We liked it but thatw as cos of the company rather than the site and probably wont go again.

However can recommend Woolsbridge Manor Farm,East fleet and west fleet but love Seabarn just outside Weymouth! :D

Agree with Burnbake being crowded sometimes. I think their relaxed attitude has been taken advantage of.
