Standard pitch (13 at Woodyhyde)
UK England South West England Dorset Swanage & Isle of Purbeck Woodyhyde
The Owner Says
Our family-run campsite has 160 unmarked pitches on 3 fields across 13 acres where wild deer, pheasants and birds roam. This spacious campsite with broad, countryside views never feels full even during the peak camping season.
One field is bordered by a steam train, linking Corfe Castle and Swanage. If you fancy a drink and a bite to eat after an exciting day out then visit the local village of Langton Matravers, where you can sample the local ales and hospitality of the Kings Arms, Scott Arms, or the Square and Compass public houses.
A new facilities block houses 18 showers (including separate male and female disabled shower/toilet). 60 electrical hook-up points are available and 20 of which are hard standings for camper vans. A large shop selling camping essentials plus basics like bread, milk, eggs and local beers and ice creams.
In addition to the existing shower block, there is also a new block housing 18 showers, 4 toilets and 16 basins. Disabled facilities are also provided. 11 separate sinks for washing up and a chemical disposal point are available. We endeavour to run a green site and have recently installed solar panels which help provide power to the shower block. We have recently been award the David Bellamy Silver Award for our campsite and are continuing to improve and develop the site year on year.

Location
Woodyhyde is located at Valley Road, Corfe Castle, Wareham, Dorset BH20 5HT
Getting There
From the village of Corfe Castle, take the A351 towards Swanage. A mile outside Corfe, look out for the ‘Woodyhyde’ sign and turning on the right, then follow the track under the bridge and into the campsite.
Take the train to Wareham, then bus 142 (not very regular, unfortunately) to Harman's Cross. The bus will stop at the top of Valley Road, and the campsite is about 350 metres down the track from the main road.
