Pitching Instructions and Directions
How to find us...
Take the A351 from Corfe Castle into Swanage.
Turn first left after Swanage Middle School.
Follow the lane for about a mile - until you reach a T-junction, then turn left.
Follow signs along this narrow country lane until you see the gate leading into the Knitson Farm Tourer's Site.
 
 
NB - the lanes are very narrow - please do follow our directions...
Arrival and Departure

We prefer a Saturday changeover.
Please leave or arrive before midday.Once you have found the site gate, there is a lay-by where you can pull in if you want to take a look around on foot.
Please don't arrive too early, in case the pitches are still occupied.
Pitching  
Once you have found your pitch, please make sure you park up at least 20 feet away from anyone else. This is for fire regulations, as well as to give you and your neighbours some privacy.
There are no restrictions, so park in any direction you wish - but please make sure you check your brakes - some of the pitches are sloping!
Don't forget, you need to have your own washing and toilet facilities...
Paying
Jane will call by each day to collect the rent and return calor gas bottles. We normally collect the rent for the whole period - it helps to confirm how long you intend to stay.
We are a busy, working farm, so we are not always easy to find. There is no need to come to the farmhouse - we will find you!
Prices and Seasons    
   
For 2009 we will have a flat fee of £10 per night...

Rules  
We don't have very many - just our own version of the Countryside Code...
When you are in the countryside there are some important things to remember. The Countryside Code ensures that the countryside remains a pleasant and safe place for everyone to visit. While you are with us, we would like you to remember the following:
  • Enjoy the countryside and respect its life and work. We are a working farm, and the farm itself is not open to the public - but there are two 'open farms' close by. We try to minimise farming activity and noise near the campsite, but please remember that some things like haymaking just have to be done when the weather is right.
  • Dogs are welcome under control, but please keep on leads at all times when on footpaths and bridleways. Don't let them bark continuously - for the sake of other visitors as well as the livestock and wildlife.
  • Keep to public paths across farmland. You will come across cattle sheep and horses on our footpaths... Leave livestock, crops and machinery alone - and be wary of all the animals you come across.
  • Use gates and stiles to cross fences, hedges and walls. Always close gates behind you. Fences are there to keep animals in and people out - they are there for safety reasons and should not be crossed.
  • Take all rubbish home with you; help to keep all water clean, and protect wildlife, plants and trees.
  • Take special care on country roads.
  • Try not to make too much noise - loud noise disturbs both animals and other people. Please respect other people's privacy.
  • Be aware of fire hazards - do not light fires or drop cigarettes .
  • The Purbeck hills are a great place to fly kites - but please not on the site or near livestock. We would be happy to show you the best places away from other caravans and animals.
And if you're not sure about anything to do with Knitson Farm Tourer's Site,
please get in touch... We look forward to seeing you!
