Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Great setup at this camp site.
Electric grass pitch (medium)
Liked Fantastic campsite and well located between Bridport and Weymouth. Our pitch was a good size and flat. Electrical provision was consistent. The booking process was easy and arrival was prompt with little fuss. Very tidy and clean site. Toilets and showers were well serviced. A fantastic range of vending machine with quality food items available.
Disliked Nothing to report.

From the manager: Thank you for the very kind review and recommendation. We are so pleased that you thought it was a fantastic campsite and will be staying again.
Excellent site, with decent facilities.
Fully-serviced grass pitch (large, super)
Liked Great site - we had one of the larger pitches for a campervan with a large awning for 4 adults. Our pitch had an electric hook up, water supply, grey waste and TV connection. All the facilities look brand new and were more than adequate. There’s a bus stop right outside, which will take you most places that you would want to go - Abbotsbury is just one stop away. There’s also a pub and farm shop (with a cafe) right across the road. Onsite has vending machines and a small kiosk selling ice cream. Customer service was excellent when I had change to a bigger pitch.
Disliked Unfortunately the pizza vending machine was not working whist we were there - I really wanted to try that. The site is “open plan” - there’s no fencing or hedges separating pitches. This didn’t really worry us, but it might be an issue for others. With a full site, there might be issues with over crowding of some facilities.

From the manager: We really appreciate you taking the time to write this very kind review with feedback. We are so pleased you received good customer service and thought it was an excellent site and will return. The Pizza machine is new on site and was still in the connection process but hopefully next time you return you will be able to enjoy one. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (large, super)
Liked Loved this site!
So chilled and so easy and central to get to places like
Weymouth, Lyme Regis, Dorgester, Lulworth Cove and many more in this lovely area of Jurassic Dorset.
In walking distance there is a lovely pub called the King's Arms that have good beer and lovely food.
The Ducks Farm shop is also worth a visit as the sausage rolls are to die for.
All in all a thoroughly enjoyable week and we will definitely be visiting again.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (medium)
Liked Lovely quiet, well located and clean site. Pitches were all nice and level and the toilet and shower facilities were always clean. Was away from the business of Weymouth and the main coast road gave way access to all beaches along it. Would definitely stay again and the staff on front desk were always very helpful and happy to help.
Thanks

Amazing camp site 5 *
Electric grass pitch (medium)
Liked Absolutely lovely site to stay. Made so welcome on arrival, so accommodating and helpful.
The showers and toilets were absolutely spotless.
The dogs field was so well kept and a wonderful size for dogs to play plus a little stream at the top for them to have a dip in.
The local bakery and pub were so good and good value for money.
We fell in love with this site and the surrounding area. Definitely will be back.
