What customers say
A top family spot near Charmouth & Lyme Regis. Reviews love the clean loos, roomy pitches & helpful staff. Kids rave about the pools & play zones. Mostly brilliant, but a few noted road noise and busy periods.

Powered grass caravan site
Liked Lovely views, really well laid out and spacious, facilities are great, especially for kids - playparks, softplay, indoor and outdoor pool (outside is very chilly, though good for an ice dip if you've been in the Sauna) clean facilities, dog park, good food options served all day (pizza and Panini's in-between breakfast and dinner service) evening entertainment in peak season, which we just missed, but just hopped on the bus to Bridport for an evening out. All in all loved it and will be back!

Good site and central for everywhere.
Powered grass caravan site
Liked Stunning views, good location with bus stop outside for Lyme Regis and Weymouth, had a good pitch with everything to hand . Very enjoyable stay.
Disliked Pitches for grass are mainly on a slope some are very steep, luckily mine wasn't. Would book a hard standing pitch next time.I think the toilet/shower block would benefit from a deep steam clean and reseal around some areas.

Liked Site was pleasant, toilet and shower facilities were clean. Good play area for the children and soft play as well.
Disliked They want you to pay extra for using the swimming pool when you have already paid for your holiday! Outrageous!

Liked Well laid out site with decent pitches.
Nice clubhouse/bar area with friendly staff and the food looked great. Unfortunately wasn't there long enough to try it !
Disliked Bar was absolutely packed out as BINGO was still on past 9pm on Friday night. Struggled to get a seat as we arrived late.
Entertainment could do with a upgrade.

Friendly campsite.
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Lovely campsite, friendly staff.
Kids loved the indoor pool, Softplay area and spent most of their time at the park.
Shower/toilet block was good. 20 minute walk to Charmouth beach. Dog friendly in conservatory area and the roast was lovely.
Disliked Some pitches are on a slight hill, but can't be helped.
Toilet block became dirty as the day went on.
Partner said the water pressure wasn't great in the male shower block.

Camping pod
Liked We liked the cosy, clean and comfortable camping pod, the views across the bay and hills, the park's quiet and easy going atmosphere, and facilities.
Disliked Not much to dislike - having to pay extra for the pool was a bit annoying, and it is not really a 'short stroll' to the beach as advertised. It took us about half an hour from our pitch.
