Liked: Lovely small, scenic site. Very tidy and clean, nice kept pitches overlooking fields with sheep and ducks and chickens. Lovely countryside views. Nice safe walk to Bridport town centre, took us about 15 to 20 minutes with our dog so at strolling pace. But there’s also a bus stop just down the road too.
The 2 toilets and showers are great, kept very clean and perfect for the 8 pitches. There’s also an information shed with some essentials to buy if you’ve forgotten anything
We also were left some slices of cake by the owners which was much appreciated.
It’s a lovely site and we will definitely visit again soon.
Your electric is on a meter so remember your coins. We used about £1.50 over 2 days so definitely lots cheaper than a normal mains hook up.
There is a main road nearby, which you can hear at busy times, but after rush hour, it is hardly noticeable and we slept well each night. And the road gives you the convenience of having Bridport close by.
Also do the riverside walk from Bridport to West Bay, really flat scenic walk.
Disliked: Nothing. Lovely site.

Liked: Great spot with only 8 pitches - all with EHU and on gravel. Very well maintained and the owner is very helpful and friendly. They also have chickens so you can get super fresh eggs which were very tasty.

Liked: Was open earlier in the year than all the others, for our 4 night booking, and as requested they gave us the pitch nearest to the facilities.
Disliked: Right next to the road, at 4am had some muppet in a van slamming every single door about 5 times, till I suggested being quieter, (not the campsites fault i know) facilities were 2 sheds with no washing up sink, others used the dog wash, had a family emergency and had to leave on the second morning, no chance of even a partial refund, coin fed electric meter set pretty high, used £20 in one night, just a small radiator.
Dogs on lead signs but owner has two free roaming dogs.
