Blackforest Lodge

In the gorgeous south **Somerset** countryside, nestled in 3 and a half acres of beautiful, mature and landscaped grounds, is the multi award-winning and very highly rated **Long** **Hazel Park**; an **adults only** touring park with spacious grounds, very helpful and friendly owners, a firmly eco friendly attitude (they have planted over 2000 trees in the last 24 years and that’s just the tip of the iceberg) and welcoming all modes of camping; from tents to the very largest of RV’s.  While everyone else was on hold in lockdown, the owners here were busy installing 11 brand new, fully serviced touring pitches for the 2021 season, which are now complete and include electric hook-up, a water tap and water drainage on each very spacious pitch.  All of the hardstanding pitches are large and level, and there is a pretty grass area at the centre of the site for tents.  There are picnic benches dotted about, bird feeders, wild flowers and most all, a sense of peace and tranquility.
 
Everything you can possibly think of has already been thought of here. There is an excellent (currently online) reception with all you need to know about using the wifi, local dog walks in the area, things to see and do, and - most excitingly - a lot of information about all the delicious food and meals on offer here.  There is a local bakery delivery for bread, morning rolls and pastries, a Friday evening woodfired pizza van and possibly best of all, the excellent nearby pub - The Mildmay Arms - also delivers takeaway food in the evenings and Sunday lunchtimes.  So there is no need to cook if you don’t fancy it!  And if you don’t have your own caravan or tent, never fear, there are two absolutely lovely holiday lodges, fully equipped with everything you need for a relaxing break.  Blackforest Lodge is also adapted for mobility impaired guests - one of the only fully wheelchair accessible holiday rentals in Somerset.  Both the lodges have convenient parking directly outside and a lovely decked area for al fresco meals.
 
Facilities are excellent and spotlessly clean. The newly renovated and eco-friendly shower block sitting conveniently in the centre of the park, has hot showers, heating, hairdryers and shaver points and is regularly checked and cleaned. The facilities also include a well thought out accessible bathroom suite for disabled visitors.  In this block there is also a dishwashing station and a chemical disposal point.
 
The location of **Long Hazel Park** is absolutely perfect for exploring all of **Somerset** and **Dorse**t’s most stunning countryside; the Vale of Camelot, Blackmore Vale, Dorset Downs and the glorious **Mendip Hills** where you can explore the Wookey Hole Caves and Cheddar Gorge - among many other sights.  There are countless excellent walking routes that you can access directly from the park, including the Sparkfood Woodlands, Millennial Copse, The Leland trail and The Cadbury Hill, where you can hike around the Bronze and Iron age hillfort associated with King Arthus legendary court at Camelot.  Glastonbury is half an hour away and Long Hazel Park is a great place to base yourself if you are attending the legendary music festival, and it is also also an excellent place to stay if you are thinking of booking the annual Royal Navy International Air Day at Yeovilton.

Bell Tent Hire

Only in its third year of running, you’d be mistaken for thinking that lovely Donkey Down campsite had been nestled into the Dorset Coastline for years.  Set on a gently sloping site on the Jurassic Inland Coast path, just above the charming village of Sutton Poyntz, Donkey Down is part of a working organic livestock farm.  It’s tents only here, and has the festival feel of a pop-up campsite but the calm vibe of back to nature wild camping.  If you don’t want to bring your own tent, they have some Bell Tents for hire.  

Choose your own pitch anywhere on the grassy field (don’t panic - there are enough awesome views to go around), and set up your tent looking over Weymouth Bay or the rolling Dorset countryside; they limit the number of pitches, so there is plenty of open space for everyone. No electricity means that dark starry nights are on the cards for those evenings around the campfire.  There are eco toilets and a block of six shower cubicles, drinking water is available and there are also sinks for washing up and a small onsite shop selling essentials.   

The South Dorset Ridgeway passes through Donkey Down, a 17-mile ancient track running along the south coast.  This ridge of high land has been used for thousands of years by people and several Stone Age burial mounds can be seen along here, one in Donkey Down itself.  The Ridgeway is considered as important as Stonehenge for the scale of monuments and what they tell us about Neolithic life, but remains one of Dorsets best kept secrets!

The location of Donkey Down is part of its brilliance.  Walkers are in for an absolute treat, with hiking routes all along the coast to the famous White Horse at Osmington and beyond.  Family-friendly Weymouth beach is a 10-minute drive away, boasting lovely shallow waters, golden sands, donkey rides, and a small amusement park.  Weymouth harbour is a great place to watch the boats come in, scoff some delicious fresh fish and chips, and even do a spot of crabbing off the side.  

Water Sports enthusiasts will love Bowleaze Cove and Chesil Beach (the bit between Weymouth and Portland) for awesome surfing, kitesurfing, kayaking, and paddleboarding.  Sandworld, the most underrated attraction on the south coast (in my humble opinion), lies on the other side of Weymouth at Lodmoor Nature reserve.  Run by the same family of sculptors for years, this place has giant sand sculptures of everyone from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Scooby Doo and it is gobsmacking.  Also at Lodmoor is a Sealife centre and a miniature train, so you can take a picnic and make a day of it.  Further afield, Abbotsbury Gardens, Bridport, West Bay, Dorchester and Portland Bill lighthouse are all a good trip out if you have time.  

It is worth booking a few nights at Donkey Down to fully appreciate the amazing Jurassic coast; you will not run out of things to do.  And after a busy day, Donkey Down campsite is the perfect place to retreat to - the campers who have stayed at this new campsite have only amazing things to say about it.   This gem is only open for 28 days (from 27th May until 19th June in 2022) so don’t miss out!


Donkey Down

New for 2020, Donkey Down is situated on the South Dorset Ridgeway. A peaceful 10 acre site enjoying stunning views over Weymouth Bay, Portland and the surrounding countryside. A gently sloping site situated on the Jurassic Inland Coast Path. Donkey Down is part of a working organic farm and home to a neolithic tumulus, there are rare flora and fauna to be found.

Non-electic grass pitch

Most folk will appreciate that The Walled Garden Campsite is so close to the Jurassic Coast including the iconic Durdle Door & Lulworth Cove (6 miles away).

Not only are the grounds one of the most tranquil within the County, but it’s steeped in history with links to T E Lawrence, one of Britain’s finest war heroes, an Oxford Scholar & Close friend of Winston Churchill… better known to most as Lawrence of Arabia, who now rests in the village’s peaceful cemetery of St Nicholas’ Church (regardless of your religion or spiritual beliefs – this is a must-see just for its fine architecture and beautiful stain-glassed windows).
