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.

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

It's a typical Parkdean site.
Star fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
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

Staff were very friendly and location is perfect
Electric grass pitch
Liked Spacious pitch sizes and extremely helpful man in the shed for touring.
Entertainment staff were extremely energetic and clearly good at their jobs!
Location was perfect for exploring.
Disliked Toilets weren't as clean we'd expected with toilet roll on the floor in block by touring.
Ladies toilets in the club house had hardly any toilet roll in the holders but were on the floor, some locks on the doors were broken. Appreciate they cant have them tended to constantly but during child activities may be an idea to have toilets checked more regularly as not all children are accompanied.

From the manager: Hi Karen,
Thank you for you lovely comments on the entertainment team - this will make their day so we will ensure your feedback is shared directly with them.
We will also take this opportunity to ensure your comments regarding the toilets are shared and taken on board with the park staff so they can look to make immediate improvements where necessary. Your satisfaction is important to us and we are very sorry that we have fallen short on this occasion. ^JC
Spacious areas…

Liked Spacious areas
Disliked Badly maintained toilet block, distance away from the toilet/shower block quite a walk for some of the pitch and on a hill!
