Camping pod (classic)

Liked: Clean, good showers, loos an washing up areas. Nice to have a proper bed when camping. Very small camp I think only 5 pods on site which is nice.

Disliked: It did smell of mildew/damp in the pod and we could hear the main road mostly just because we needed the window cracked open due to the damp smell.

Camping pod (deluxe)

Liked: We enjoyed our stay immensely. The atmosphere around the pods is beautiful and there is access to a log fire, water and a BBQ. The facilities were brilliant and there is a local shop a short drive away. It feels like you're in the middle of nowhere which is exactly what we were after. We will definitely be booking to come again!

Camping pod (classic)

Liked: Really lovely and quiet site. Pod clean and tidy with a little heater, perfect for the cooler evenings. Beds comfortable! Toilet/shower block clean! Easy check in system and site easily accessible! Quick communication with owners and they were more than happy to help us with an earlier check in time for a wedding! We loved our stay!

Camping pod (classic)

Liked: Neat, tidy and simple. Great access to Charmouth, shower and toilets - nice and clean. It’s not busy as only five pods. It’s camping but with a bit of comfort. Really enjoyed it!

Disliked: A little close to the main road so you can hear the cars but that’s the price for being walking distance from the coast.

Local attractions

You really don’t have to go far for a little adrenaline. In fact, it’s just a one-minute walk to get to The Tunnel Tree Tops Charmouth, where there's a high ropes obstacle course and zipwires tying together the treetops. If getting a birds' eye view and some monkey-style entertainment isn’t enough, The Tunnel Training (also one minutes’ walk) runs shooting experiences. If finding fossils is high on your Jurassic coast bucket list, you’ll be pleased to find that the Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre (five minutes’ drive or 45 minutes’ walk) runs fossil hunting walks to kickstart your hunt. Take some time to check out the displays, marine tanks and theatre too. The Jurassic coast is well-suited to especially adventurous sorts, and a Lyme Bay RIB Charter (15 minutes) is certainly one adventurous way to take in the cliffs. Inland, the heritage Seaton Tramway (15 minutes' drive) will also get you out in the Axe Valley and nature reserves (where there’s plenty of excellent birdlife to spy on).
