What customers say
This well-located campsite offers spacious, private pitches and is praised for its exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, particularly Andy and Dave. It's a short walk to West Bay's harbour, beaches, shops, and restaurants, making it ideal for exploring. While most facilities are clean and adequate, some visitors found them dated and noted issues with Wi-Fi coverage on touring pitches. The site is popular with families for its amenities and activities.

Overall the site was very tired and cramped

Liked Staff were friendly. The site was in walking distance to the beach
Disliked We were unable to park our car on the pitch and had to keep taking it to the car park. You had to pre book a general swim and we had not been made aware of this. All slots were booked. We were told to turn up to take a chance but this was a concern as we didn’t want to disappoint our 5 year old and 3 year old grandchildren. We did manage to get in having had to queue in the rain. Apparently there were 80 slots and only 10 lockers resulting in having to leave clothes and valuables in the side if the pool. The play park was very tired and old. The climbing frame had a very rusty metal cylinder.

From the manager: Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you found our team friendly and appreciated the convenient location close to the beach.
We’re sorry, however, that several aspects of your stay did not meet expectations. We understand how inconvenient it must have been not being able to park directly on your pitch, and we apologise if this was not made clear in advance.
We also regret the frustration caused by the swimming booking system. We appreciate how important this is, especially when travelling with young children, and we’re sorry for the uncertainty and the need to queue in poor weather. Your comments regarding the number of lockers and overall pool experience have been noted and will be reviewed carefully.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback. It helps us identify where improvements are needed, and we hope to provide you with a much better experience in the future. ^SR

Excellent site, all staff extremely helpful. The site is spotless
Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Good pitch size, well maintained. Lovely harbour town to walk to.
Disliked No where to put your bag down in the shower cubicle. Shower block is old but couldn’t fault the cleanliness. The amount of people using it not once did I find it unclean.

Resonable site for retired people out of season
Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked We stayed on gravel pitch with electricity. It was on a terraced hill although not perfectly level it's ok. Unfortunately we had an unusual strong east wind for 2 days not pleasant.
Disliked Shower block a bit dated but ok

Liked Started with being checked in by the lovely Dave. Nice hardstanding pitch. Was very quiet at night. Good value drinks and food.
Disliked Bit of a trek to the main building.

Has so much potential, but failed to properly cater for adults
Star fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked nice sized pitch with on-pitch water, electric and grey waste. Very handy for anything happening in West Bay and surrounding area - including walking on the SW Coast Path.
Disliked Shower and toilet block never seemed truly clean - and that was without many children staying.
The activities hub seemed to be geared up for children, rather than adults who probably made up 90% of the people I saw on site.
The swimming pool for general swimming was very limited - a couple of hours here and there for 2 or 3 days a week.
Wifi, even in the reception area was soooooo slow and 4G was only available very early in the morning. So frustrating when trying to plan daily activities.

Good pitches and good site to stay on
Electric grass pitch
Liked The pitches are spacious we stayed in our camper van. We went as a group of 6 and they were kind enough to make the pit hed work so we were all next to or near each other. Shower blocks and toilets just a shirt walk down the slope from top of campsite where we were. They were clean and cleaned regularly. Literally a 10 min walk to the beach and pubs.
Disliked We only stayed for one night so not much time to find anything wrong really
