Liked It was a fantastic experience. April and her husband welcomed us with great warmth. We loved the reception because our name was on a plaque, which was a real plus. The bathroom and kitchen area were very clean and well-maintained. We would definitely return and recommend it.

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Brilliant campsite, wonderful showers, very friendly people Who couldn’t help you enough. We looked at the fire pit and the wood.
Facilities for children were excellent and our grandchildren loved their fossil collection. Soft toilet paper you can’t get any better.🙂
Disliked Nothing
From the manager: Many thanks for your visit. Our fossils are a source of interest for kids of all ages, and we are always interested to see what people have found on the local beaches. Lyme Regis and Charmouth are favourite places for finding belemnites and ammonites.
The perfect camping holiday.

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked We could purchase firewood for £5 and the use of a repurposed drum from a washing appliance as a fire pit was free of charge with the purchase of wood. Shower perfect temperature, but best of all was the warm welcome from April and Hannah and their helpfulness. A lovely peaceful site, will definitely stay again.
From the manager: Thank you for your visit and lovely review. Hannah is a highly valued staff member so its lovely that you name checked her!
