Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Lovely warm welcome by the owner. He was absolutely great! Showed us everything we needed to know and felt like we made a friend whilst there. My husband loved it too. My daughters “grump” and “Brian” had a fab time too! Dogs made to feel very welcome. Little play park, picnic and firepit area. Huge clean showers. Lovely massive level hardstanding pitches, great reception, very clean and well kept. Lovely location and great base for exploring close to the coast. We had a brilliant couple of nights stay and will most definitely be staying again on our next trip to Lyme Regis! New fave campsite!

Disliked: Absolutely nothing to dislike!!! I just wish we could have stayed for longer!

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The whole thing from beginning to end was fantastic. Got greeted by the owner on arrival who gave a very clear and complete discussion about everything. Really nice and quiet place. Good hot showers in the shower block. Thoroughly enjoyed the site. Will be returning.

Disliked: The only 2 dislikes is that it is not walking distance to anywhere. Also the shadower blocks were a bit old fashioned. Having said that everything worked well

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Fab small, low key site! A last minute booking for the Easter Bank Holiday. Large hardstanding pitches (water & electric on the pitch), toilet & shower block, easy access with our large caravan, great base for walking, cycling & sightseeing....We were met by the owner who gave us a brief but informative overview of the site & area. A lovely gesture Easter Sunday, the Easter Bunny paid a visit to each pitch! Very relaxed feel to the place. Just how we like it & hope to be back again one day. Thank you😉

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: It is a small site, and all pitches have hardstanding with water and electricity. A community shop and pub are within walking distance. All the main facilities, shower, toilets and washing up area. The toilets and showers were lovely and clean. Nice people welcomed us to the site and got us set up.

Disliked: Hot water for the washing-up area runs very slowly and takes ages to fill the sink. I wonder if this could be run off the same boiler as the toilet sinks?

Amazing stay, lovely people - will absolutely be back

Route directions

Do not follow the satnav. If you're travelling to the site via Chard, it will incorrectly direct you down Broom Lane, which is a difficult route to take. Instead, please follow the directions to Axminster and join the A35. Turn left on to A35 towards Dorchester. You will see the Hunters Lodge pub on the right-hand side. Directly on your left will be Crewkerne Road. Take this road and follow it for approximately two miles to Hawchurch, then take the turning to Wareham. The site is the second site on the right.

Local attractions

First stop: Jurassic Coast (presumably). Start off in Lyme Regis (10 minutes’ drive) for an aquarium, mackerel fishing trips and fossil walks, then head over to Charmouth (10 minutes) to try out your new fossil-hunting skills to see if you can unearth your own prehistoric prize. Other top spots along the coast include the towering cliffs of West Bay (20 minutes), the sandy beach and family-friendly attractions of Weymouth (45 minutes) and the ancient sea arch at Durdle Door (an hour). Like to take in as many sea views as you can? Off to the South West Coast Path you go to see how many of its 630 miles you can get under your boots. Grownups fond of a brew or two may like to stop off at Lyme Bay Winery (15 minutes) or take a tour of Palmers Brewery (20 minutes), stopping off for the obligatory photo by the sign on the way into the village of Beer (20 minutes). Non-tippling outings might include Axe Valley Wildlife Park (10 minutes) or Haynes International Motor Museum (40 minutes).
