What customers say
This family-friendly spot boasts generous pitches, spick-and-span amenities, and top-notch hosts. Kids love the tyre swing & play zone, the food van, and the chill vibe. Plenty of repeat guests love its quality & welcoming feel. Fire pits & wood for sale. Great for coastal jaunts, though some note tight access roads.

The safety of the field for…
Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked The safety of the field for children, they could be free to roam around making friends but always nearby. The children’s bikes, rope swing and little playground. The friendliness of the people and the cleanliness of the site, great showers, sink area and toilets, the nicest we’ve even had while camping.
We enjoyed visiting Charmouth beach for the day and Lyme Regis beach the next day. Campsite was lovely to come back to after the beaches, the children loved it and want to go again.

Wonderful!!
Bell tent
Liked Another fabulous stay at Pilsdon View Campsite, just a night as was all we could fit in this year. We love Pilsdon View Campsite & have been going there for a few years now.
I bring my son who’s 9 by myself & always feel very safe, it’s ideal for my son as not too big so he can go off by himself to play with all the friends he makes!
It is such a well run campsite by the lovely owners April & Terry, they will help out with problems & will suggest places to visit if you’re stuck where to go.
There is lots of space for children to run around playing football etc but also a tyre swing, little park & bikes etc to borrow as well, my sons in his element when we’re there.
There is no WiFi but good phone reception, also no electric hook ups but they have lockers to charge phones for a small charge & ice blocks to exchange.
There is a brilliant food truck where Ashley serves breakfasts in the morning & burgers etc in the evening & also this year supplying Purbeck ice cream which was delicious for pudding!
Showers are hot & toilets kept clean.
We stay in a bell tent which is easier for us as only have to take our beds etc & cooking things but if you take your own tent you always have lots of room around where you pitch, everybody’s not crammed in.
So many lovely places to visit in the area, lots of wonderful beaches & plenty of fossil hunting opportunities!
Can not wait to be back next year & my son is already asking what date are we going to Pilsdon View Campsite next year!!
Disliked Nothing at all!

Bell tent
Liked We had a lovely stay at our new favourite campsite! Lots of little attention to detail, made the trip on my own with my two children a doddle. Family friendly, amazing shower facilities...think rainfall shower head and not a push button in sight! The pitches were level and well spaced. All three of us loved the tyre swing. On site food van was a massive bonus, plus the facility to buy ice blocks and milk. The clear skies at night made for perfect meteor shower viewing. The site is well placed for visiting Charmouth and Lyme Regis. Would highly recommend giving mackerel fishing a go in Lyme Regis!

Peaceful haven of a site
Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Lovely clean, quiet well kept site. Pilsdon view was so peaceful! April and Graham always have a smile on their face and stop for a chat between their never ending to do list. The personal
Welcome after a long drive was lovely. Showers always perfect temperature and clean and the loos always stocked with soap and looroll.
Turning right out the campsite site leads to some interesting country roads if you don’t like blind bends left is a better option but the roads are worth it to get to such a nice site.
The dark skies at night are perfect for star gazing after a fun filled day. Perfect position for Charmouth, Lyme Regis and other Jurassic coast beaches. 3 nights wasn’t enough and we hope to return again on the future
They are being extra cautious in this prolonged heat and it’s reassuring to see that campfires are not allowed at present and BBQs needed to be very controlled. Other sites aren’t being so safety conscious.

Liked Such a great, friendly, campsites. Great showers with lots of room and having them dotted about the site made using them when you liked so much easier.
