Bell tent
Liked The space , no queues for loos or washing up or showers . Eco friendly . Easy access to some of the best beaches and farm shops I’ve seen . The owners are very welcoming. Also the very reasonably priced fun camping extras such as fire pit and fire wood that works always even for amateurs like me. The spots of shade near the trees that are there . The local town Bridport was a very nice and welcome surprise !
Disliked Could have a bit more shade if there was a few more trees and some solar lighting around the camp for evenings perhaps

From the manager: Many thanks for your visit and review. We plant new trees every year, but they do take a while to grow into significant shade trees! We light the toilet block all night and have a few spots of light near reception and in the garden. It’s lovely to stargaze in the dark so there’s a balance to strike!
Absolutely love this campsite. Beautiful countryside, clean & peaceful

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked This place has got many special memories I've made with family over the years and it really all comes down to April & Terry (also their amazing team!) Once we arrived they were very welcoming to me and my partner with lots of help and amenities they offer.
The site is very clean and a positive place to relax, with brilliant food (huge shout to the chef in jurassic pork, very efficient and they offer unbelievable food for a camp - something you'd expect to see at a nice restaurant)
Overall, it was once if the best camping experiences ever and already planning ti come back for a few trips next year 😊
Big thank you to everyone at Pilsdon View Camping, your doing fantastic!
See you next year!
(Also the sheep at night really help you fall asleep, we fell asleep outside under the stars listening to them 😂)

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Everything. It was our first time camping and enjoyed ourselves so much on this trip.
The owners, Terry and April, along with their wonderful family/friends really care about their site and visitors - nothing was a problem and everything is clean, and tended to. Terry even rescued us one night when we completely failed at lighting our fire pit.
Thank you so much - we've caught the camping bug thanks to you and your lovely site. We will definitely be back!
