Newlands Holiday Park

Me gustó 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

No me gustó 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

Me gustó Good pool but you do have to pay, should be included with such a high camping price

No me gustó Toilet not great, shower pressure poor

The younger woman on reception come across quite rude

Me gustó Bar and shop were good, we didn’t eat but menu looked good

No me gustó 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)

Me gustó Location is excellent for local Charmouth beach and bus rides to beautiful Lyme Regis and Weymouth amongst other places to visit.

No me gustó Showers were really poor between old units, water going cold after a minute. The washing units are public and not separate units. They were cleaned regularly but the experience would be so much better if they were upgraded.

Me gustó Nice site, good size pitches. Play park was great and little soft play area.
Swimming pool was great both indoor and outdoor pools. Location is good for lots of different days out.
Food in the restaurant was lovely.

No me gustó Toilet and shower blocks, whilst clean are in need of some work, toilets didn't always flush, facilities looking very worn out.
Same with mini arcades, machines were very old and didn't always work.

Me gustó Swimming pool - although the indoor pool is £3.50 per session.

Children's playground.

Bus stop outside the campsite to Lyme Regis.

Very friendly and helpful staff in the leisure centre.

Clean facilities in wash block.

No me gustó Dreadful and I mean DREADFUL pitches. One of worst I've ever stayed on. MINISCULE to the point where I couldn't extend guy ropes of my small 4 man tent in order to fit my small car and tent on the pitch (no alternative parking was offered).

Ground is hard and rocky. Good luck getting your pegs in. I was wielding my mallet like Thor's hammer and stones and gravel made it impossible.

Pitches were poorly maintained- scrubby grass and an extremely strong and disgusting smell of dog wee that has completely permeated my tent to the point I'm not sure it is salvageable after 3 nights on the pitch from hell.

Very noisy atmosphere until late at night. Lots of groups of adults and their children, parents drinking at the tent while children run around pitches noisily until 10pm at the earliest. I like kids and camp with my own son but this is not a good vibe and makes it very hard for other kids to sleep.

Proximity to A35 makes for a lot of road noise.

£51 pounds per night for all of the above - WITHOUT electric hookup!

Me gustó Location, shop

No me gustó Disabled facilities door not wheelchair friendly, too heavy. The dropped kerbs are too high for wheelchairs and no flat wheelchair access around speed bumps.
