  • Family park overlooking Lyme Bay
  • Within walking distance of Eypemouth beach and Eype village
  • Café, bar and restaurant with vintage fire engines
Bridport’s Highlands End Holiday Park is certainly on high land, all the way up at clifftop level on Dorset’s Jurassic Coast, overlooking the spectacular blue waters of Lyme Bay and with bridleway access to the walks of the World Heritage Coast. Most uplifting. Highlands End was the first park in the West Dorset Leisure group and the team has learnt a thing or three about family holidays in the 50 or so years since: the first-class facilities here include a generously-sized heated indoor pool, sauna and steam room (available for an additional charge only). There are active options on site for all ages such as soft play (charge applies), footgolf and two play areas, plus a duck pond for gentle waterside strolls. (If you’re all of a conundrum about what to do in Dorset, make for the on-site tourist information office which has leaflets and videos on local attractions.) Eats are covered at the park bar and restaurant dishing up all sorts of homemade meals using fresh local produce (probably the only restaurant you’ll ever go to with a 1936 Leyland Fire Engine and 1902 Merryweather Steam fire engine). Too nice a day to sit inside? There’s a beer garden – and play area – out the back. From Highlands End it’s a 500-metre coastal walk to the sand and shingle beach at Eypemouth and the village of Eype, in many people's humble opinion one of the prettiest villages in Dorset (a beach hut here was listed at the sky high price of £200,000 in 2011). The bridleway near the park will also take you to Symondsbury, West Bay, and over acres of countryside and farmland, much of it maintained by the National Trust. Finally, the site team stress that although they'd love to be able to guarantee fine weather at all times, please note that pitches here are on the clifftop to make the most of the spectacular views. This can also mean that they're exposed to high winds during periods of bad weather and so it's recommend that you ensure your tent is secured well.

What customers say

This is an immaculately kept site with stunning sea views and direct access to coastal walks. Pitches are spacious and well-maintained, and facilities are consistently reported as spotlessly clean. Staff are frequently praised for their friendliness and helpfulness. The site offers numerous amenities, including a popular swimming pool and a well-stocked shop. While most visitors had a very positive experience, some noted occasional issues with noise, particularly from unsupervised youths in the play area, and the restaurant's opening times and food quality received mixed reviews.

Martyn F.

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Great location with amazing views. Very clean site with larger than average pitch size . We stayed in a grass pitch with ehu. Very friendly staff, both on site and in shop and pub . Will definitely stay again.

Disliked Our only gripe was that it would of been helpful to have dog poo bins near the pitches and not just the dog walking area .

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Great location, clean facilities, dog friendly, really nice campsite. This is our second time stay at this place and we have enjoyed here both times. Due to high wind we have to relocate to the pods, get immediate support from campsite hotline. And had enjoyed the rest of holidays.

Disliked Electric pitch we have chosen deliberately so we can use our portable electric stove, but we can not, as not enough power has been supplied...
Kettle working fine but not the stove, unfortunately.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the lovely review and fantastic photos.
We are pleased that our team were able to find a pod for you to upgrade to.
Our electric points are only for items that are specifically low voltage for camping, not all cookers will work if they are not specifically for outdoors.

Great views, not a lot of options for food

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked The camp location is great with stunning views, very clean.

Disliked No set pitch given so it’s a fight to find a pitch and the next day you may not have the same pitch. Ordered fish & chips at the club house, to find the fish did not smell good at all. They said it was the oil. So that made us think it need changing. They did refund with no issue but not a lot of choice on camp otherwise.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback, we do recommend if you go out for the day to leave something on your pitch so others know it is occupied.
The fish and chip van is not from our company and we are sorry if you had problems with their food.

It was Clean tidy, quite with excellent facilities well stock shop friendly…

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Great location for views of the Jurassic coast, short walk down steep hill to the beach, the beaches closest to the site are dog friendly all year, the ones at West Bay/Bridport Marina do not allow dogs in the summer, even on a lead.
Bar/Restaurant on site is very nice, although closed at 6pm on Sunday, plenty of places to eat in West Bay (15 minute walk).
Toilet/Shower facilities on-site are very clean, hot water and no 10 second push buttons.
Choosing a pitch was ok, plenty of different sizes available, the most scenic ones taken or reserved. We chose a nice pitch, or so we thought, only to be advised that we should move or find ourselves next to a group of travellers later in the day, when they return from what they do during the day!
The site is very well cared for, there was always staff around cleaning or maintaining the grounds.

Local attractions

From beaut beaches to historic towns, fossil hunting to wholesome hikes, the Dorset coast has a colossal amount of activities and attractions whatever floats your boat. Cast off for some sea fishing, take a boat trip or scuba dive to the depths from local beaches, or tee off instead with a course around the clifftop 18 holes of the Bridport and West Dorset Golf Club. West Bay and Bridport are both about a mile from Highlands End (just the right distance to walk for an ice cream on a sunny day), and at least a day is recommended in each: the miles of West Bay for sunbathing, watersports and landing mackerel from a boat; and the market town of Bridport for its 17th-century museum and the market, going strong since Elizabethan times and the place to pick up everyday items like local food and more outlandish bits and bobs like clothes and antiques. Beachcombers and fossil finders will probably find themselves at Lyme Regis at some point, one of the most famed stretches on the Jurassic Coast and along with Bridport one of its gateway towns – it was here that famous geologist Mary Anning made her first finds in the 19th century and the town holds an annual Mary Anning Day as well as the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival. Visitor centres and museums are dotted all around the coast; if you’re not sure where to start, most have guided tours available. Hikers will be happy too with the wealth of paths and bridleways snaking around coast and countryside from Highlands and beyond – the South West Coast Path follows the entire 95-mile Jurassic coastline and Dorset has around 300 miles of waymarked paths and trails. Buses stop at many coastal spots, or hire a minibus to spectate the scenery in style.
