What customers say
This campsite is praised for its exceptional cleanliness, modern facilities, and friendly, helpful staff. Guests highlight the secure ANPR entry, spacious and level pitches, and excellent vending machines. The location is noted as ideal for exploring the Jurassic Coast, with nearby pubs, cafes, and bus links. A large dog walking field is also a popular feature. While generally faultless, minor points included occasional WiFi issues and limited entertainment for younger children.
