Osmington Mills Corner Campsite
Perched on a hillside with sweeping views over the Dorset countryside and sea, this campsite on the outskirts of Weymouth offers a wonderfully relaxed, back-to-basics escape. It serves as an excellent base for exploring the Jurassic Coast, with a bus stop right by the entrance providing easy access to Weymouth, Durdle Door, and Lulworth Cove. Scenic coastal walks lead to a nearby pub and small coves. The owners are consistently praised for their exceptionally friendly, welcoming demeanor and hands-on approach. One of the site's most appreciated features is the freedom to choose your own pitch upon arrival across spacious, grassy, terraced areas. Many visitors highlight the excellent value for money, with competitive pricing, and the flat rate throughout the season makes it a firm favorite for budget-conscious campers. The grassy terrain has a real community feel, with plenty of open space for children to play safely. A nearby dairy and farm shop offer local treats, and the on-site shop sells essentials, hot drinks, and camping gear at reasonable prices. Fire pits are allowed, with hire available, adding to the traditional camping feel. However, the facilities are very basic and receive mixed reviews; the most common criticism is the lack of hot water at the washing-up sinks and hand basins. Showers provide warm water but suffer from low water pressure and use shower curtains instead of lockable doors, compromising privacy. The toilet and shower block, while clean, is considered outdated and can become strained on busy weekends. The unmarked, sloping terrain can make finding a truly flat pitch challenging. Noise levels can vary significantly, as proximity to a main road causes traffic sounds, and the lack of a curfew may lead to disturbances from larger groups. There are no electric hookups on pitches, though a few power sockets are available in the toilet block for charging. The site operates on a cash-only basis or accepts bank transfer, as poor internet signal prevents card payments. This campsite is ideal for those seeking a simple, affordable base with a welcoming atmosphere, but it may not suit those looking for a quiet, polished experience.
