What customers say
This adult-only site is praised for its cleanliness, well-maintained facilities, and generous pitch sizes, offering lovely countryside views. It's conveniently located for exploring Bridport and the Jurassic Coast. Visitors frequently highlight the warm welcome, including complimentary homemade cake and cream. While most found the nearby A35 road noise unobtrusive, a few noted it was constant. Some guests suggested a dedicated dishwashing area would be beneficial.

Our new favourite place
Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Beautiful surroundings and generous pitch size. Very clean and well maintained. A lovely warm welcome from the host and added cuddles with dogs and sheep! A perfect location to visit our favourite places nearby. Nice walks and a lovely pub close by. The road noise didn’t bother us at all as we were out all day and it quietened down in the evening. Nice people camping too appreciating the quiet adult site. The little information hut was very handy for bits and bobs.
