Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: Really easy booking. A lovely welcome & great pitch. The views are amazing & great pitch sizes. (Maybe take a windbreak/and or a brolly or awning to stave off any strong gusts. I loved it though). Kay is very helpful & the site is so handy for so many attractions & the facilities are lovely & also so clean. Thank you, I'll be back. From Sam

Disliked: Sorry I can't comment on WiFi as I didn't check if there was any. And I believe its an adult only site & I couldn't take the one star off re child friendly. There wasn't anything at all I disliked :)

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: This is a small hill top grass site and has the most amazing beautiful sea and valley views.

Disliked: Unfortunately it is next to a main road so the traffic noise in the evening and from 7am spoilt our enjoyment.

Dominic L. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: The view

Disliked: The cost - expensive for the quality of the site. With additional one dog and awning, the cost came to £42/night plus electric, which is extortionate given the facilities. Toilet block was dated and dirty; no hand drying facilities; washing up area (one sink) also dirty and no light at night; big pile of rubbish (or septic tank?) in middle of site covered with black plastic; no grey waste; no recycling; no signal or internet - and lack of written on-site information. Near a busy A road with no pavement, so no safe dog walks from site. Wouldn’t rebook.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: Lovely views over the sea and of Weymouth. If you are looking for a passing stop this is it. For us staying 5 days it was fine. Showers worked and water hot but it was what some may call basic but we dont mind. No children allowed which was what we was looking for. over 5 days the hook up as you pay for what you use cost us £4 we had cool box running the whole time and over night charged our phones we also use a kettle. I would stay there again when visiting family in Dorset.

Disliked: Shower block a little basic but all works fine.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: The owner Kay was very helpful and accommodating, she texted before you arrived to explain campsite details and about our stay. The campsite was very clean, easy to park in bays provided, electricity and water provided. We did not use the toilet block as only stayed 1 night and have our own but the building didnt look shabby or unkept. would defiantly stay here again.

Disliked: The rain !! ;-)

Liked: View

Disliked: Overpriced. Noisy road. Facilities not great. Loose dog from campsite owner walking around. No sign from main road - we missed it ! Not happy we had to pay for electric on top of £40 a night - very dodgy all payments asked for in cash! No internet!

Local attractions

Walks over the Jurassic coast are particularly splendid around here, and especially across Chesil Beach (25 minutes’ drive). At 18 miles long, feel free to take on a short stretch or tackle the entire barrier beach. The views from the cliffs are spectacular at Durdle Door (20 minutes), so get picture ready there. Otherwise, roll up to Weymouth Beach (15 minutes) and arm yourself with a surfboard or pull on a wetsuit or bathing costume for a lap of the beach and other watersports. swimming, surfing and other watersports (15 minutes). Abbotsbury Swannery (half an hour) is another pretty cool coastal location, home to a colony of nesting swans. There are walks around the spacious grounds of Lulworth Castle Wareham (20 minutes) too. If you’re looking for a lighter sort of stroll, just visit Dorchester (15 minutes) and lazily work your way around the sights. The town has a deep literary history, as well as museums, castles and shops. While you’re focusing on scoping out historical sites, there’s an Iron Age hillfort at Maiden Castle (20 minutes). For something more modern-day, though, SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth (10 minutes) doubles up as an adventure park and aquarium.
