What customers say
Pilsdon View is a top-rated, family-friendly campsite with exceptionally welcoming hosts, April and Terry. Praised for clean facilities, spacious pitches, and a peaceful vibe. Kids love the play areas and games. Narrow approach lanes noted for larger vehicles, but overall, a highly recommended return visit.

Liked It was a fantastic experience. April and her husband welcomed us with great warmth. We loved the reception because our name was on a plaque, which was a real plus. The bathroom and kitchen area were very clean and well-maintained. We would definitely return and recommend it.

Amaryllis yurt
Liked Another wonderful stay at Pilsdon View. Terry and April are fantastic hosts and even responded to my concern at 01:30!
The yurt was clean and had everything we needed for our weekend stay.
The sun was out and it was a scorching weekend- Terry put a large sprinkler on for the kids.
The Jurassic Pork food truck had a great selection of meals and really reasonably priced- we had two kids meals and two adult burgers.
The toilets are clean and the showers nice and hot.
We can’t wait to go back.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your visit and lovely review. We certainly did have wonderful weather in the opening weekend but we can't take the credit for that!!
So relaxing and restful...just the ticket.
Bell tent
Liked I received such a lovely welcome and knew I'd made the right decision to up sticks from another site (that was so busy I wasn't enjoying it).
Found a little corner of calm and enjoyed the amazing wild life, friendly faces of the staff daily with a greeting and a chat, and easy popping into town/ locally for the beach! for big supermarket supplies, farm shops, cider farms and other pottering.
There's plenty of space, most spots have shade for a decent part of the day, the showers are not timed and are lovely and hot, and there is a really good food truck on site. Homemade burgers and breakfasts are especially recommended :)
Many thanks again to the Managers and staff for making the place feels so welcoming.
Disliked I'm struggling to think of anything - oh- having to leave and go back to urban life!

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Brilliant campsite, wonderful showers, very friendly people Who couldn’t help you enough. We looked at the fire pit and the wood.
Facilities for children were excellent and our grandchildren loved their fossil collection. Soft toilet paper you can’t get any better.🙂
Disliked Nothing
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Many thanks for your visit. Our fossils are a source of interest for kids of all ages, and we are always interested to see what people have found on the local beaches. Lyme Regis and Charmouth are favourite places for finding belemnites and ammonites.
The perfect camping holiday.
