Relaxed vibe at this sylvanian campsite, a cycle ride from Studland Bay

There are those rare occasions when you arrive at a site and within minutes know that you’d like to stay all season. Burnbake is one of these instantaneous hits. Its many plus points quickly add up to create a vibe so agreeable that, before you know it, you’re down at the office negotiating a second week’s stay. Children in particular will love being able to run free through the woods, swing on the rope tyre, climb in wooden boats or build dams in the stream.

There are no designated pitches among Burnbake’s woodland site – 12 acres of secluded, level ground, complete with burbling stream – so have a nose around to find a suitable nook or cranny. During high summer it can be busy, and as a result it’s not the quietest site, but there are some more peaceful places to pitch away from the main circuit.

In low season it’s quieter and at any time of year it’s a prime location for the National Trust Studland beaches and for exploring the Isle of Purbeck, particularly on bike or foot.You can also cycle to Swanage or Wareham avoiding the main roads, or indeed to Corfe Castle itself, which is an iconic and uplifting old ruin.
