A nice well kept site but difficult to contact warden as was only available for a limited period during the day and never managed to contact them by phone.I understood electricity supply was limited to 10 amps but tripped twice at about 6 amps
I don't know if we will ever go to Purbeck again, but if we do I would consider this site.
Our first time at this lovely peaceful and spacious site and it was a great discovery. Very secluded in the grounds of Smedmore House with a permissive path to Kimmeridge Bay a mile away. Helpful and friendly site manager, nearby Kimmeridge village with good restaurant and dinosaur museum, wonderful walking all around…perfect. Only downside was proximity of army artillery training area where heavy firing takes place. A fellow caravanner said you stop hearing it after a while, but our dogs were terrified.
This site is lovely and near swanage, studland, Corfe castle and kimmeridge bay but a couple of showers would make it so much better.
I went there due to its location, being so close to Kimmeridge Bay.The campsite looks very neat and clean, with EHU and various pitches options; very peaceful and quite.A 30min lovely walk to the bay from a permissive path through farm fields or on the road that goes through Kimmeridge village itself.But one important thing to be aware is that the whole campsite is on a sloppy ground - even the hard stand pitches require high ramps for a motorhome to be on level - mine are the thruma ones and are not high enough to level my motorhome.I'll book again and will buy higher ramps to use here :-)
We enjoyed our stay but would have chosen a different pitch with a better view of the sea had information been available,and hard standing as it was wet. We did not appreciate what the definition of grass hard standing implied.
Lovely basic site with EHU, very clean and easy to use loo disposal.Views of the Kimmeridge cliffs. Half hour walk to Kimmeridge bay, Twenty minutes to coastal path, and half hour to Swyre Head on the permissive footpathsNice restaurant in Kimmeridge (the only one!).What more could you want from a site?
Great views, good walking access to coast. Very quiet, owls and pheasants are a bonus. Recommend site has maps on wardens office highlighting walks. Motorhomes need high leveling blocks.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Smedmore, very peaceful and in lovely location. The permissive path from the site was a real boon and clearly marked.
All fine, as in the star ratings given, however site office only opened late Sunday just as departing so did not see any warden for the whole weekend, no response when emailed about late departure, nobody answered the phone when I rang and nobody got back to me when I left a voicemail. Not a big problem for us but did feel quite on our own. Chocks needed for section we were sited in but knew that beforehand. Enjoyed the weekend.
