What customers say
This is a well-maintained, clean, and friendly campsite with excellent facilities, including swimming pools and play areas, making it ideal for families. Its location is praised for its proximity to Charmouth beach and the Jurassic Coast. While most guests had a positive experience, some noted issues with pitch slopes, road noise, and occasional cleanliness concerns in shower blocks. The cost of the swimming pool was also mentioned by some as an additional charge.

Ok but rules a bit unnecessary and so spoilt the vibe
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Pleasant spacing and well kept grass and trees.
Disliked Having to face the bathroom block despite the site being almost completely empty. It meant that my friend and I (the only people on the row) had no shade and I was uncomfortable leaving my van open whilst being the other side which made it stifling inside. A silly rule for an empty site. Very loud at night with nearby road and roadworks which weren’t mentioned. Unable to get wifi as it required a phone signal

Clean facilities, shop, restaurant etc.
Disliked No warden at night??
Two pitches (group) near us were outside, loud shouting and swearing 1 1/2 hours after the curfew. By this time all else was silent on site.
No emergency number on map or on booking confirmation.

From the manager: Hi Rachel,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed our location and appreciated our clean facilities, shop, and restaurant.
We're very sorry to learn about the disturbance you experienced after curfew. We understand how important a peaceful nights sleep is, and this is certainly not the experience we want for our guests. While we do have procedures in place for dealing with noise, we appreciate your comments regarding the availability of a night warden and the lack of an emergency contact number on our site map and booking information. We'll review this feedback with our team to see how we can improve our out-of-hours support and communication.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
Best wishes,
Newlands Holidays
