What customers say
This is a popular, well-equipped family-friendly site with a great location near Charmouth and Lyme Regis. Visitors praise the clean facilities, spacious pitches, and friendly staff. On-site amenities like the swimming pools and play areas are a hit with children. While most find the site excellent, some mention road noise and occasional overcrowding.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Good location and facilities, generally friendly staff and all very clean.
Easy to find and short walk to beach and main hikes. WiFi signal across pitches
Disliked I should have asked but was disappointing after hiking 18 miles to get back to site to find food was no longer served and bar was shutting at 6pm. The only options on just eat was one Indian that took 1 hr to deliver

From the manager: Hi Michelle,
Many thanks for your review. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us but are sorry that you were here when the restaurant was closed. We do try to advertise this but are sorry that you missed it. Well done on hiking the 18 miles though - impressive!
Best wishes,
Newlands Holidays
Would definitely return but eat out somewhere else.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Great facilities on site and a 15 min walk to Charmouth. Beautiful countryside views and we couldn't hear the road (camper) at night. Enjoyed the quiz night!
Folk in the Spar shop were lovely.
Disliked Restaurant food was pricey for the quality of ingredients.

Looking forward to going back soon.
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The staff were extremely friendly. There was a problem with a rowdy bunch of campers who made excessive noise one night. They were asked to leave the very next day. The managers then made a point of visiting everyone else to apologise for the trouble caused.
The shop had a good level of groceries, drinks, snacks and toys, all at reasonable prices.
The swimming pools are of a high standard. With nice clean changing facilities.
The bar and evening entertainment were also a bonus
My grandchildren loved the soft play and outdoor play parks.
The shower block was kept in an immaculate condition, with plenty of showers for everyone, so no queues.
The site is handy for the many lovely beaches in this part of the world.
Disliked The site is on a steep incline but the pitches are level. This does mean that the walk to and from the shops will work off a few calories.
There are plenty of seagulls on site so make sure you lock up any left over food or rubbish

Good site but continuous road noise.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Great views. Good facilities. A.nd a great a t campsite in almost every way.
Disliked The road noise from the A35 was continual and through-out the day and night. It certainly made sleeping difficult. Unfortunately we would not come back for that reason.

Views good, noisy road.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Unfortunately due to a family accident altering our plans we were only able to stay one night. However, Lovely views, shop on-site, indoor and outdoor pool which we enjoyed. Cannot comment on the food/drink/entertainment as we did not get to use this part of the establishment.
Disliked By a main road which was very noisy, facilities outdated and not kept tidy by other campers/holiday makers, which was a shame.
A few thistles/weeds growing up through the pitches, parts of the site really well maintained and freshened up, but not where we were unfortunately.

Good family site
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The park is very well equipped for families with children,we met with our son and daughter in law with their young children and it was a perfect location.We used the bar area for food on 1 occasion and thought it was very good and plentiful,the grandchildren loved the pools although it is an extra cost.The site is ideally placed for Lyme Regis as the bus stop is right outside,our stay was very pleasant and would return.
Disliked The distance to shower/toilet block was a little bit far but that is being a bit picky
