The first thing you notice is the name — and yes, it really is round, a piece of quirky Dorset architecture that feels refreshingly different from the usual campsite fare.
This one's a bit of a hybrid: guest house rooms if you want four walls and a proper bed, plus camping pods for those after something more adventurous without quite committing to canvas. It's tucked into Weymouth's orbit, so you're close to the harbour, the beach, and all that Jurassic Coast drama without being stuck in the thick of it. Families after a base for rock-pooling and fossil hunting will find it works well, as will couples wanting a weekend by the sea. Dog owners should ask ahead — policies can vary depending on the room or pod.
Facilities aren't listed in detail, so it's worth checking what's included when you book. Campfires are a 'check on arrival' situation, which usually means they're possible but site-dependent. Open all year, so it's there for wild winter coastal walks as much as summer sunshine.
