What customers say
This is a clean, quiet, and well-maintained campsite with welcoming and helpful hosts who provide excellent local advice. Pitches are level, with shaded options available. Facilities, including toilets and hot showers, are consistently praised for their cleanliness. The location is ideal for exploring the Jurassic Coast, with beaches and attractions nearby. Some found the showers tricky for children, and one reviewer noted smoke from barbecues, attributing it to other campers.

Not the greatest campsite, with changes could be great
Electric optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely owners, nice flat campsite, clean facilities
Disliked Only four fire pits, there were a lot of ants, maybe due to the time of year but all pitches seemed to have the same issue. There is definitely no wifi, showers heads could be changed as about 10% of water hits you the rest misses, in a fine mist! Having to constantly hold the shower ‘play’ button was a joke.
Plumbing for the shower meant the stagnant water filled the male showers, with approx 8 inches of water…
Owners answered the phone once, then ignored most other calls, this was heard from many other campers.

Excellent dogs friendly site with hospitable hosts.
Electric optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Excellent place to stay, not far from the Jurassic Coast and Durdle Door. The hosts were very welcoming and made our stay special by providing extra equipment we had forgotten at home and giving us great advice on other places to visit. The site itself is not large, has clean toilets, hot shower, fridge. Site is located really close to the river were, if you wish, can go swimming.
Disliked Showers were a bit tricky to use for children.
