Pilsdon View Camping

Liked Absolutely wonderful! April and team are so kind and friendly - helpful and make the whole experience amazing

Disliked Unfortunately a bit of noise, but it was a crying baby so absolutely nothing to do with the site, who kindly moved us to make it lessen the noise.

Liked Very friendly and attentive staff who gave us a bag of marshmallows as a welcome gift! They even offered car help when we were having issues. We went midweek and it was quiet. Very family friendly. Facilities were wonderfully kept, clean and well spread out.

Liked Second visit to this beautiful site. Terry and April are amazing and always there to help and provide any assistance or suggestions for the local area.

We were a party of around 14 including several small children who thoroughly enjoyed the campsite. It was helpful bring a small personal site with toys and park for the children to use.

Facilities are exceptionally clean and were monitored by staff on a regular basis.

We look forward to returning again. Thank you April, Terry and staff. Best wishes Lucy & Family.

Liked The greetings from the team upon arrival. Excellent explained all where to go etc, told to drive around and pick a spot, told us the best places for a sunset or sunrise.
The loos, but showers are more adequate for the site, with plenty of them.
Jurassic Pork was a nice touch to have icecream or some breakfast or dinner when during opening hours and buying milk if needed
The sky at night was amazing, toilets never seen so many stars with no light pollution it was amazing to site outside and have a coffee and just look up.

Disliked Only stayed 1 night, so nothing to dislike.

From the manager: Thank you so much for coming to visit. Jurassic Pork is a great partner business and make lovely chips!
We also enjoy the view of stars in the night sky.

Liked The campsite was spacious, and there was a real family vibe when we arrived. There was lots of space for our son to play and ride his bike. We felt safe letting him go to the play area on his own, and had a lot of fun playing on the tyre swing. Everyone followed the rules of being quiet after dark, and it made the whole experience very welcoming. The campsite was busy without being overcrowded.

Disliked The shower temperature could not be changed, and it was too hot for my son to use.

From the manager: Thank you for your stay and for writing such a kind review. I’m sorry you found the shower water too hot. We try to set it to industry standard - 37-38 degrees C, and Terry can adjust it up and down for comfort.

Liked toilets were clean, the team welcoming and the showers were hot. The facilities are basic but everything you need and a great 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.

From the manager: Many thanks for your lovely review. Char mouth and Lyme Regis are great places to go for fossils, swimming, ice cream and relaxing.

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!
