The View Camping

Welcoming family camping with campfires and far-reaching views over Poole Harbour and the Purbeck Hills

Waking up to this scenery in the morning was a great feeling. Peace and quiet and a great place to relax.

Very welcoming and such a friendly place. Somewhere you’d want to stay time and time again.

A view out over the campsite at The View. Stunning scenery for miles around, we really felt at peace here.

Toilets were just a short distance away from the camping area and well maintained.

Washing up facilities were just a short walk away from our main camping base with running water on tap.

A great spot to unwind with friends and loved ones. Our camping spot was in a tucked away paddock where we had plenty of space and lovely scenery.

Showers and toilet areas were conveniently located through the camp site. Well looked after, these were clean and tidy throughout.

The beauty of the great outdoors was all around us at The View.

We couldn't have asked for a better spot to unwind. A really peaceful stay!

Pop Up Outwest

Pop-up Outwest is a quiet secluded site on a 200-acre organic free-range family farm in the gorgeous Wiltshire countryside, and just 5 minutes’ drive from the town of Trowbridge.

This is a splendid spot in which to switch off for a bit: it’s surrounded by farm fields (with grazing cows) and woodland areas, with several footpaths leading off from the farm into the local area. There are lots more trails to stroll along through the country lanes, leading to small villages such as Steeple Ashton, Edington and Bratton and furthur from us is Bath, about half an hour’s drive away if you fancy a change of scenery.

Life on site is pretty straightforward: the site is simple to get to from the nearby A350, and with easy access through the private gate into the pitching area. Barbecues are permitted on site, and firepits available to hire – either one being a mighty fine idea to keep you warm as you spend evenings gazing out over views of the Westbury White Horse hills (which is a five-minute drive away if you want a closer look).

Facilities here are minimal to preserve the peace of the place, but guests will have access to portaloos in the pitching field.
