Crossways Club Campsite is an imaginatively landscaped destination set in the midst of 35 acres of lush woodland - ideal when touring in Dorset. Pitching is available in open groves, all of which are linked by a scenic snaking road. This makes for easy access around the campsite, from the charmingly named Iron Horse Meadows to Poachers Paradise. If you want to leave the car behind for an excursion or if you're simply a rail enthusiast, the railway is a five minute walk away.
There is a pleasant pub adjacent to Crossways Club Campsite, serving good food. The campsite is within convenient reach of a wealth of interesting attractions at the nearby town of Weymouth. Also close by is the harbour town of Poole, with its blue flag beaches and Lighthouse Arts Centre, and a short drive from the site brings you to the historic market town of Dorchester. From its glorious beach to the charming shops and wide selection of restaurants, there is something memorable to be had for everyone in the family.
Please note: this site has dry composting toilets. Shower facilities are located in separate blocks.

A lovely stay at Crossways
Crossways Club Campsite
First time at this site and what a lovely stay, we originally booked for 2 nights and decided to extend our stay for a further 2 days because we liked it so much.
The deer were a novelty, much tamer than the ones in the New Forest. My dog was eyeing up the venison!!
The facilities were spotless, showers were hot and welcoming, and I was so delighted to see that the site had installed compost loos, just be sure you don't have your mobile in your back pocket when you sit down on the toilet!!!!
There is easy access to public transport - bus and train. My only quibble, which has nothing to do with the campsite itself is the main road. There is a co-op about 10 minutes from the site but the paths are fairly narrow and the traffic hares down the road at great speed.
Big thanks to the staff for making us so welcome, we will certainly be back again in the future.
Peaceful and relaxing site
Crossways Club Campsite
First stay at this site and will definitely return. All staff were really polite and so helpful. The deer wandering through the site are a real treat to see. Facilities were all clean and well maintained although perhaps a bit dated
The Frampton Arms which can be accessed via a gate on site is well worth a visit. Sunday roast was immense and really tasty and local ale at £2.50 a pint!!
Super site
Crossways Club Campsite
Super welcoming site with nearby pub, dog friendly, train station and handily placed for Bournemouth/Swanage/Weymouth. Deer roaming freely throughout the site good size pitches and spotlessly clean.

Perfect place
Crossways Club Campsite
Been to this site a number of times and have been on a different pitch each time, every one of them have been excellent, the deers visited us where ever we set up.
The facilities are clean (showers and toilets) staff are so helpful and friendly.
We had EHU on a grass pitch every time which have been flat, just remember to twist your plug when you connect up. :-)
The train line is close and convenient to travel to either Weymouth,Poole or Bournemouth.
Also the pub next to the station (approx 400 m away)
The Frampton Arms do great meals and a great pint.
Overall a perfect place.
What a gem!
Crossways Club Campsite
We stayed here a week ago and it must rate amongst the very best caravan site we have stayed at. The site is exquisitely positioned in woodland with a lot of small enclaves to pitch on providing a good deal of privacy. The facilities were spotless, the only issue being that due to the laudable recycling methodology the showers and toilets are in different blocks. This didn’t bother us as we use the caravan facilities but may be an inconvenience to some. There are also deer who inhabit the site and roam around which is really nice.
The staff are very friendly and helpful and there is a cabin near the entrance containing a lot of helpful information and a book change facility.
Location is excellent with easy access to Dorchester and the coastal resorts of Bournemouth, Weymouth and Lyme Regis, all within easy reach.
There is a pub just outside the entrance which is open all day and serves good quality and value food as well as a local draft beer for £2.50. There is also a Co Op convenience store a few minutes walk away, what’s not to like?
The only thing that would stop us returning very soon is the patchy wi-fi which is only available near the reception, although there is a programme in place to role it out across the whole site. As soon as it is we will be back for a longer stay.
Truly superb
