Crawler/early toddler friendly campsites in Dorset?

Hi, we're about to embark on our first camping trip as a family with DS in tow who will be 11mo. We are going ot Dorset in early June and am looking for recommendations. Normally, DH and I like fairly basic rustic campsites but this time I think we might happily go for something with a few more facilities. Criteria are:

  • Flat soft grass (am thinking DS will be crawling or maybe just toddling and would be nice to be able to let him go for it from the tent a little bit - so more of a football pitch type site rather than our normal choice of places with slopes and rocks)
  • Not too far from the sea
  • Nice local pub within buggy friendly walking distance
  • Decent facilities (can cope with anything when just me and DH but for our first trip with baby think I might want a few more luxuries)
  • Possibly an onsite childrens play area, but I'm imagining you only get these in super busy touring sites? I'm not sure I want to go that far up market.
  • Preferably somewhere that feels spacious but with pitches that are shaded by the trees!

Any tips gratefully received!

We went to East Fleet Farm in Weymouth last year. Lovely big pitches so plenty of room to play. Plat area was good, our dc are older but I think there was stuff for all ages.

We stayed in the field away from the play area which had better views and was quieter! Facilities were excellent very clean. Also there is a fantastic pub on site, serving great food and drinks at reasonable prices and a well stocked shop.

It was not far from the town and beach and easy to park whilst there.
