We set up our campsite to be a unique place where guests could be as close to nature as possible, while retaining some of the basic comforts of home. Think wildflower meadow with hot showers! We've gone for ultimate peace and tranquility, with a very limited number of pitches mown into the wildflowers with lots of space between. Our remote site is far from roads or light pollution, making for serene starry nights around the firepit. The camping meadow is bordered by woodlands, a small nature reserve, and the gardens of a stunning Tudor manor house, all of which you're free to explore. Nestled in a remote and picturesque corner of West Dorset, the campsite is within easy reach of some of the South West's most stunning spots, from world-famous fossil beaches to neolithic hill-forts.

We stayed in our motorhome on hard standing pitch, no electric hook up. David’s site is full of really nice people, and there’s a very relaxed atmosphere. Facilities are good, great walk down to the village and a massive open sky to watch the stars at night. It does come with being next to a road and there’s a clay pigeon shooting field next door, but it didn’t interfere with us having a great time.

We absolutely love this site. Richard the host is friendly and welcoming, you can tell he’s proud of his site. The eco toilets are great and very well maintained. 👍🏻 Water on tap and a hot shower as well. These are exactly what you need for offgrid camping. You’re surrounded by nature. Falling asleep to the owls waking up to the cuckoo. Perfect. 😍 We even had the pleasure of the cow choir in the next field mooing away. Was great. ☺️ There is also a course fishing lake which you can use for a very reasonable daily fee. Hubby hasn’t fished yet but we had a wander and it is stunning very clean and well maintained lake. Would definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a lovely stay at Sweet Hill. The directions to get to the campsite were easy to follow and the views when we arrived were fab! There was plenty of space and even on a windy night a good amount of protection so we didn’t get blown away. We will definitely be returning!

What a lovely campsite, just how they used to be. Felt very safe bring a solo camper. Everyone friendly and campsite warden popped round frequently to check in on campers. Lovely walks across the road and a easy walk into stockbridge. Toliets and showers clean and worked well.

As a seasoned camper I was very surprised to find this little gem of a site! A lovely clean friendly site with toilets/hot showers and washing up facilities which were all clean and well maintained. The play area was a hit with the children, and that was also well maintained and fully accessible for children of all ages. The owner David could not have been more friendly and welcoming and the site warden Mark was also pleasant and approachable. We will definitely be returning in the not to distant future. many Thanks David.

We had a fantastic stay at Stockbridge View Campsite and can’t recommend it enough. From the moment we arrived, David made us feel incredibly welcome—he was so friendly and genuinely cared about our experience, regularly checking in to make sure everything was okay. The facilities were excellent; the showers and toilets were always clean, tidy, and well maintained, which made a big difference to our stay. The park was an absolute highlight for the children—they had so much fun and didn’t want to leave! Overall, it was a brilliant trip with a lovely atmosphere and great attention to detail. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Lovely clean dog friendly campsite, well maintained with a small play area, clean facilities with hot water and away from the city lights, perfect for stargazing on a clear night around a campfire. Mark and David were friendly and helpful, checking in on us on arrival/departure and when we had a storm heading our way.
