Peace and quiet

We stayed here for the last three nights in October, before the site closed. The site has mainly grass pitches and many had been closed off due to the wet weather. We got lucky and found the last of the few hard standing pitches for our motorhome. I’m not sure we’d have been able to get on and off a grass pitch. The locator this site is perfect for exploring. We went to Weymouth, Studland and Swanage, all within easy reach. The Coop down the road is ideal as there is no shop on site. Shower facilities were great and appeared to be freshly refurbished. I didn’t use the compost loo as we used our own. To be honest I didn’t fancy it. The dog walk on site was good and we had a chuckle at the additional small dog area near the exit to the train station. Overall this site is lovely. Deer roam on the site along with squirrels and other wildlife. We were on the quarry side of the site but heard no noise to speak of. Neither could we hear the trains. The site is well cared for and we loved the way it’s broken up into small glades with a few pitches so that each feels quite secluded. Despite the fact that every night there was heavy rain and gales, quite terrible on the last night, we had a restful break and enjoyed this location very much.

Good base for visiting

A return visit to one of our favourite sites , yes, there is some triangle noise but not over intrusive, there is a Coop 15 minutes walk away which is on a pavement and flat , we don’t use the site facility’s so can’t comment on them , the site is set in woodland where the deer wonder through the site , we have never heard any noise from the quarry, this is a site that we use as a stop over as well as staying longer and always find something different in the area to visit

Wildlife and Beauty

Absolutely stunning location set in beautiful woodland and lots of wildlife activity. We found the site extremely peaceful and, to be honest, we didnt really notice the trains despite pitching next to the railway lines. Yes, they do sound the horns for the crossing but I guess the annoyance factor is down to the perception of the individual. It didn't bother us! Perfectly located for many local attractions and Dorchvegas (Dorchester) Thomas Hardy geeks will love the area as Max Gate is just down the road. Monkey World and Bovington museum right on the doorstep. Showers and toilets are separate due to the composting style loos but no hardship. Camp staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay here again.

Trains!

The site is in an attractive location - in a woodland setting; the pitches are beautiful; the ground level, and soft enough to drive pegs in and withdraw them easily; the facilities clean (not overly modern); and the showers warm... However, the trains.... my word! On arrival, we spotted the train track near certain pitches and asked about the train service. Reassured that trains were infrequent and stopped by 10p.m., we pitched in that area because of being told that it had the sunniest aspect - that much was true. Our awning was up by the time we first experienced the trains, otherwise we would probably have moved - there were several every hour, even more on Saturdays, but EVERY train hooted loudly as it approached the level crossing. Service started at 6:15a.m. and finished at 11:15p.m. It it certainly not a peaceful site, but if you're a deep sleeper or hard of hearing, it would be perfect. Location and facilities are perfect - such a shame you can't lift it and drop it half a mile away.

Lovely site but a few niggles

We stayed here last week for 4 nights. The site is lovely but is impaired by train horns and noise every hour. One one side is the train tacks and the other side of the site is a quarry. The road outside is very busy with lots of lorries going to and from the quarry. Lots of the pitches are in shade especially at this time of year, this meant that the awning got quite grubby as was always damp. The dog walk is lovely but is lead only, no off lead on site. The train station is a 5 min walk and a return to Weymouth was £7.50 return and free for doggo. This was great! The wardens were helpful and friendly. The facilities.are quite dated and the compost toilets are fine once you get used to a breeze…however be really careful you don’t drop anything as you would never want to see it again. All in all we enjoyed our stay but would only be back if we needed to do something that area. The Walled Garden in Moreton was lovely and free and dogs on lead welcome. There is a Coop within an easy flat walk.

Great Site!

Our first time at Crossways, but what a fabulous site. The whole site team should be commended for their warmth and friendly welcome. They keep the site and facilities very clean and welcoming, we will be back again. Thank you .

Great club site

Just returned from a 9 night stay. Beautiful site, great exploring location, clean and friendly. Only concern we had was other members not always adhering to the 5mph speed limit. Overall a great experience

A tamed wilderness.

Such a wonderful site. My brother, my friend and I were attending this year's Tank Fest at the Tank Museum, only a few miles way and this site was the perfect location for our base. Access is easy even for larger vans (mine is 7.97 metres) and the reception area has a large open tarmac pad so arriving outfits do not block access for others already on site. Covid measures at reception are excellent and Graham and his partner are the perfect site managers. We were given a very warm welcome and the site services, amenities and pitch locations were explained to us clearly and backed up with clear written copies. The site is a wonderful mix of wild woodland interspersed with quiet bays for groups of outfits. Wildlife abounds and the deer think nothing of wandering close to the outfits but don't feed them! We took pitch 37, a very level and well kept pitch and at no time did we feel hemmed in or overlooked despite the other setups around us. There was a lot of space for my car, caravan and awning. Toilets, showers and water and waste point areas are spotless and odour-free. A Co-op is only 5 minutes walk directly along the road outside the site if the site shop doesn't have what you need. But perhaps the greatest advert for the quality of the people running the site was the assistance I received from Graham and his partner when I had the misfortune to lose my car keys and my car and caravan had to be uplifted from the site by Green Flag. They simply could not do enough for me and made me feel less stressed out in such an awful situation and I am eternally grateful to them for that. This site is 369 miles from me but I will return next year with my children when we come down for Tank Fest 2022 because the site and it's managers are worth every mile of the trip. See you next year.

Great Location, a "get away from it all" peaceful site with quick transport links to the best and busiest locations in south Dorset.

The site write up is spot on. Additionally the site management are very welcoming and helpful. They are ever present around the site, very hard working and willing to talk and advise adding to the feeling of a secure environment (open woodland) as can be. There is lots of wildlife on site. This was a first outing, a two night stay to test our new equipment, we picked the perfect location. Peaceful, easy access with transport links to the busy locations of south Dorset.

Very quiet, peaceful and full of deer!

We had a great 3 night stay here to dust off the holiday cobwebs. Easy to access and the site is well laid out and although large it does not seem so as there are at least 5 different pitch areas within little pockets on the park. We had a nice open pitch within easy access of the necessary SP's etc. We walked off site to the railway and had an easy trip into Weymouth and Dorchester for the day. The site is riddled with Deer which are not hard to find and watch. Overall we had a great stay and have no complaints at all. Thank you
