What customers say
Newlands Holiday Park offers a clean, well-maintained site with excellent facilities, including pools and play areas, praised by many families. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful, and the location is convenient for Charmouth beach and local attractions. While generally well-regarded, some visitors noted road noise, occasional cleanliness issues in some facilities, and the extra charge for pool access. Pitches on slopes and proximity to the A35 were also mentioned.

Overall a very pleasant stay in lovely surroundings.
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We liked the space allocated for the tents, the restaurant food, the location, the entertainment and the washing and washing up facilities.
Disliked A lot of older unattended children bombing in the indoor pool and not getting told off. No ball games around tents should be implemented too.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Site was lovely and quiet and well kept, pool was great added feature, good elec too!
I’m not a moaner or complainer we go on rally’s where they have nothing at all but when your paying a decent price for a week away and have not much space on your pitch, cool showers, and to pay for extras (pool) can be a bit annoying, but we did have a lovely time here it didn’t ruin our holiday
Disliked Showers were dated which actually doesn’t bother me at all as long as there clean I’m not fussy however it was really warm weather when we were there and having a shower at the end of the day is a must when you’ve layered the sun cream on I was quite thankful of the cool shower however that was as warm as it got the shower wasn’t hot or even warm
The pitches (grass elec) weren’t the biggest I didn’t feel, u park your car by your awning which means if u do put an awning up you don’t really get any grass space to sit out…luckily we had an end Pitch so we parked our car on the other side… also pitches aren’t level they are sloped
Pool was brilliant however I didn’t feel it was great having to pay £3.50pp, one day we arrived last minute at about 4:30 and it shuts at 6/6:30 and still had to pay full price didn’t bother us but if your a large family can be quite pricey especially if you go when the weather is hot, there was few cracked tiles in the pool too!

Disliked Quite narrow turning to get into site and fields- over priced.

Great stay with 2 adults and 3 teens, 13, 14 and 16. Close to beaches.
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Really nice size pitches. Clean, and great facilities. You do have to pay for the pool but we only used it once so £3.50 per person seemed pretty reasonable.
Disliked If I had to choose something, the hand dryers in the toilet block on the black field are soooo loud, which isn't a biggie except at 5 or 6 am. I am being really picky here

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Ample facilities for the size of the site. There is also both indoor and outdoor swimming which was great! A lovely big play area, and a good food menu.
Disliked Booked with another family months ago, and requested to be pitched together at the time. This was refused when we got there, as we were told it was decided on the day. We accepted this but when we walked around the corner, there is a big open field (with electric hookups) and there were plenty of free spaces. The chap that initially showed us to our plot seemed grumpy and wasn’t interested in accommodating us really. The toilet and shower facilities were also a bit grubby, and there wasn’t a mop or anything available to wipe down myself. The area we were camped was also on split levels, which meant the children were climbing up and down the steep embankments. As much as we tried to keep them off, and there is a sign in fairness, I think the site could benefit from steps through the middle (with handrails) to avoid injury. My son fell down and cut and grazed his knee quite badly.
