What customers say
This campsite is praised for its clean facilities, friendly staff, and great location near Charmouth. Families highlight the excellent play areas and swimming pools, with many planning to return. However, some visitors experienced noise from the nearby A35 road, and a few noted issues with pitch spacing and the cleanliness of some facilities during busy periods. Charges for pool access were also mentioned.

Anonymous Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely stay at Newlands last week. Shower and toilet block very clean and well maintained. Pitches are quite small and close to each other but this wasnt a problem for us and what we wanted.
We loved Dorset and would definitely use this park again.
Thank you 😊

Liked Nice play park for children. Well stocked shop.
Good shower block and toilets.
Disliked Site is quite hilly. You will need leveling blocks!
No marked divisions between pitches

From the manager: Hi Jonathan,
Thank you for your review! We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed the children's play park, our well-stocked shop, and found the shower and toilet facilities to a good standard.
We also appreciate your feedback about the hilly terrain and the pitch layout. As we're set in a beautiful natural landscape, some areas of the park do have gradients, and levelling blocks are often helpul.
We hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay in the future!
