What customers say
This is a popular, well-equipped family-friendly site with a great location near Charmouth and Lyme Regis. Visitors praise the clean facilities, spacious pitches, and friendly staff. On-site amenities like the swimming pools and play areas are a hit with children. While most find the site excellent, some mention road noise and occasional overcrowding.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Second time coming here. Lovely place. Love the play area now, when we came last year it was being done. Pool and arcades great fair the kids also. Bar and restaurant great. Food was so filling, we struggled to eat our food. Our son broke his arm the first day. We were there and reception were great when I called them from our pitch and sent someone with the first aid box to bring us a sling so so quickly. Showers were hot, toilet area and laundry area clean and tidy.
So close to Charmouth beach and Lyme Regis.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Kids loved the swimming and the entertainment. The play park is also really good. Having a free onsite soft play was also great in the rain.
Disliked We were in the black field and it felt really cramped. Hardly any space between tents. There also appeared to be a few groups who weren’t pitched together meaning it was quite loud as they went between tents. Toilets, showers and washing up areas unclean.

Good campsite lots of facilities and close to beaches
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked The views were stunning beautiful hillsides in the distance surrounded by trees and nature, the facilities were good, hot water, good size showers and toilets. Swimming pool, shop etc and many other facilities that we didn’t use
Disliked No mention of camping on a hill on the website so we were sliding in the tent most of the time, cooking was hard as everything just kept sliding down. Not all pitches are on a hill though some are flat, washing up area the taps could do with being fully running rather than having to push down every 10 seconds, no plugs either so bring your own bowl or you have to multitask with the tap and washing at the same time

Great location, excellent facilities, definitely recommend
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked A beautifully located site, facilities were well after very well, good amenities on site. A lovely base camp to explore the other local places from beaches. Harbours, national trust walks, to shopping for trinkets. Will definitely be returning and highly recommended.
Disliked Camp electric pitches don’t give much room in between so can feel like your on top of each other if you have several large tents around you, but easily solved for us as we used the side entrance instead of the front porch when the site filled up.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Bar and shop were good, we didn’t eat but menu looked good
Disliked Check in staff were a little vague, Gents shower and toilet block needs a lot of reinvestment.
Gravel strips in front of the porches need to be tarmac like the other roads as everything is covered in dust.
A35 was much closer than realised and very noisy.
Washing up sinks are very shallow and no plugs are supplied as well as the horrible push taps (feels like we can’t be trusted with normal ones)
