What customers say
This popular, well-equipped family campground boasts a great location near Charmouth and Lyme Regis. Guests rave about the clean facilities, spacious sites, and friendly staff. On-site pools and play areas are a hit with kids. While most find it excellent, some noted road noise and occasional crowding.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Good shop on site for essential items
Close to Charmouth, we walked to the beach and had a great day out.
Friendly staff and love that we were escorted to our pitch
We were on the top field and it was fairly quiet.
Easy access to Lane that we used to get to the golden cap.

Good site, ideal for older children, lower wash block needs attention
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked The indoor pool, clean, warm and not over crowded (have to book on) hour slot, changing facilities for the pool also clean and well maintained.
Quietness after dark - good for families with young kids getting to sleep.
Shop on site simple but essential.
5 minutes drive from the beach (pebbled beach so deffo wear your beach shoes)
Evening entertainment was ok.
Disliked There’s nowhere to pull up and wait on arrival so your sat in the middle of the car park trying to avoid multiple cars / vans / trucks coming and going as it’s a leisure centre as-well (multiple deliveries etc) so was always busy and on main road so unable to pull up out the way of the car park.
How far away the park was from the touring caravan park and that it was so far away from the main bit of the park itself.
The amount of dog poop on the dog field - used it daily but there was always some dog pooh on there - not ideal with young children.
Pitch size for touring caravans small and not easy to park up being on steep hill - unless you’ve a motor mover you’ll be ok (although the pitch itself is level) and if pitched with awning car up tight to caravan next to you.

A beautiful location with good facilties.
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Pitch was good with easy electrical hook up and superb views across the valley and Charmouth. Good facilities on site. Bar was well staffed and restaurant food was good. Good to see a decent real ale on tap (Tribute).
Disliked Getting access to the swimming pool was difficult at suitable times. Seems to have been a change here - I'm not sure it's a good idea to open it up to all from the surrounding area. It limits the times people on-site can use it. It is the campers who are paying the (somewhat inflated) fees to stay on the site, not the community in general. Perhaps a reduced rate for campers ?

Liked Our first camping experience and it didn't disappoint! The camp is wonderful and clean, beautiful view, so close to the beach, hot clean showers, hot water for washing up our utensils, big play area for kids, two pools, soft play...we did not want to leave. Lovely staff, friendly and helpful. Quiet area. We had a small tent but the campsite takes tents of all shapes and sizes. We will be back!
