What customers say
This campsite offers a fantastic location, close to Charmouth beach, with well-maintained facilities and a friendly atmosphere. Families particularly enjoyed the swimming pools, play areas, and soft play. While generally clean, some guests noted the facilities could benefit from modernization. The site is well-located for exploring the area, with convenient bus links. Some visitors mentioned road noise and occasional issues with pitch slopes.

A site in an excellent position. Needs to up its cleaning scheme.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked The lady at reception gave a warm welcome and quickly explained where our pitch was.
The bus stops was right outside the site, which made life easy getting to Lyme Regis or Bridport.
The grass pitch was level.
As we were only there for 2 nights, we didn’t use any other facilities except the shop for milk. It appeared to be well stocked.
Disliked We disliked the cleanliness of the showers/toilets. These were very dated, and although we saw the cleaners in them in the morning, it wasn’t thorough cleaning, just a wipe over. The loos did not appear to be checked over during the day which they definitely needed. We were there for only 2 nights, half way through September. I dread to think what they would be like in peak season. The wash-up area (3 sinks) appeared not to be cleaned during our stay.
