Riverside Lakes

The gentle ripple of water across pristine lakes greets you at this Dorset site, where kingfishers dart between willows and early morning mist hangs low over the surrounding countryside. The sound of rural England at its most peaceful sets the tone for your stay in this corner of Thomas Hardy country.

Riverside Lakes welcomes tents, campervans, and caravans to its well-maintained pitches, making it ideal for families and couples seeking a traditional camping experience in the South West. The site sits within easy reach of Dorset's famous Jurassic Coast and its charming market towns, whilst remaining blissfully tucked away from the hustle of busier tourist areas. Those who enjoy coarse fishing or simply watching waterside wildlife will find themselves particularly at home here.

Facilities are straightforward and functional, with clean toilets and hot showers serving campers' essential needs. The lakeside setting creates a naturally tranquil atmosphere, though it's worth checking campfire policies on arrival if you're planning evening gatherings around the flames. This is proper back-to-basics camping with a beautiful watery backdrop.
