Why stay here ...
My CL site is in a secluded field close to farm buildings and my farmhouse nearby.
The working family farm is part of the Cranborne Chase in an area containing many Iron Age earthworks and forms part of an AONB.
There are many miles of Bridleways and Footpaths which can be accessed directly from the site, making it particularly suitable for walking and cross-country cycling.
Some bridleways rise to 385ft and offer superb views over the Cranborne Chase and North Dorset.
The farm has won several awards for its projects creating habitats for wild life and botanical species, which can frequently be seen in their natural environment.
The site offers each pitch with a hard standing and lawn area, electric hook-up (on £1 or £2 coin meter), Grey waste outlet, shared water point and Wi-Fi.
Well behaved children and dogs are welcome.
Private visits can sometimes be arranged to a local museum which contains many ancient artifacts from the local area.
Places of interest within a 20 mile radius include Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral, The New Forest, Isle of Purbeck and Poole Harbour.
The world famous Great Dorset Steam Fair which is held at the end of August/early September is only 4 miles away.
Short Breaks: 4 nights 12 noon Monday-12 noon Friday: £42.00
Grey Waste - some shared water points, enabling a supply by tap or pitch occupiers own hose.

Lovely well equipped site, but noise from farm buildings
Lower Farm Caravan Site
We stayed here for 2 nights whilst touring in our motorhome, to walk on Cranborne Chase. We could not fault the pitch and the facilities, as per previous reviews, and our first night was peaceful and quiet, as expected. However, the following morning a continuous industrial noise started from one of the farm buildings just the other side of the hedge. This started up again in the evening after our return from walking, and the noise then continued right through the night. Consequently we had very little sleep at all on our second night. It could be this is an unusual occurrence, but if you are going here for a peaceful and relaxing stay in the countryside, we would suggest calling and checking this.

Peace and Quiet Achieved.
Lower Farm Caravan Site
Little gem of a site set in a rural and very historical area. A walk down a very quiet road brings you to the next village with an excellent pub for food and drink.
You can tread where Roman's went before on the preserved Roman road.
Very friendly and helpful owner who gave us a good information pack for walks in the area.
We were here in February with minus 7 temperatures overnight and there was still working water taps. A great surprise was the electric. It is metered and in our motorhome we used less than £5 in our four night stay.
Would definitely recommend this as a place to come and totally relax.
A quiet retreat
Lower Farm Caravan Site
The site is located in a quiet area in farmland on the edge of the village of Gussage St Michael. It had all the facilities we required, waste, recycling and water. We loved our two night stay, quietly watching the birds flying around. There was a bridleway right next to the CL, plus other footpaths in the village, and I took our dog on a different walk each day, the wild flowers, butterflies and the views were superb. We walked on paths to The Drovers Inn in Gussage All Saints, and back along the road, which wasn’t busy. Ann was friendly, helpful and well organised. We look forward to a return visit.
Beautiful stop over to South West.
Lower Farm Caravan Site
I've chosen the worst weekend to start my south west tour with severe weather warnings and gale force winds but I chose a great site to stop over. Ann was helpful in suggesting a more sheltered pitch and where to walk.
I found an old Roman road and fantastic bridleways and wish I was on horse back for canter.
Excellent free WiFi so didn't bother with the tv to save my electricity. This is on a meter that accepts £1 or £2 coins but I barely used any of the credit already there and only replaced a £.
Very quiet and peaceful.

Peaceful escape
Lower Farm Caravan Site
We decided at the last minute to have a one night escape and contacted Ann by email late on Friday about availability for Saturday. She replied promptly early on Saturday and as soon as my husband got home from work we were off. The site is only about 30mins away and we got there in daylight and were soon set up and enjoying a glass of wine. The site is easy to find and access. It’s nicely laid out with views across fields and trees. We enjoyed watching the antics of pheasants and a hare running around the adjacent field.
The electric meters work well allowing you to choose whether or not you use the EHU. All the waste facilities and meters are contained in the little shed and having water and grey waste on the pitch is great. We thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful escape and will definitely be back, probably with friends or family.
