What customers say
A grand, tidy site, staff are pure dotes and ever so helpful. Lovely spotless facilities, handy location near the pubs and transport. Pitch sizes and peace are a big hit. Some had a bit of bother with WiFi and the price of extras, but most reckon it's spot on.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked A lovely welcome from the warden. Very friendly & chatty, liked the way he helped us with water & explaining everything about the site... The site facilities were amazingly clean, plenty of hot water in the showers, loved the fact there was music playing in the back ground. Great location for getting out n about. Great view over the fields & river to watch the wildlife from our pitch. Loved hearing the trains go by.
Disliked The up & out at 10.30. The shop was shut when we wondered across at 4'ish on Saturday even though we were told on arrival that it was open till 6. Not much space between vehicles all seemed abit mismatched in placement of everything.

From the manager: Hi Debbie,
We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and your pitch provided a great view over the adjoining fields, we are sorry you were not informed of the possible early close of our shop during quieter times, we will endeavor to give out clearer information during the season. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.
Kind regards,
The Whitemead Team
A well positioned quiet site with super staff and good facilities.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Great welcome from site staff who work hard to keep the site immaculate and who couldn't be more helpful! The showers and loos are spotless and the small shop well stocked. Main line station is a 10 minute stroll with an hourly service to Weymouth (or Bournemouth) likewise bus service to Lulworth. The Tank museum and Monkey World are close by. A short walk to the two village pubs.
Disliked Lights in the shower and toilet block go out after 10 mins so you need to be quick if it's dark! Grey water dumping from a motorhome is tricky but the super site staff are on hand to assist. No problem if you use a Wastehog though.

Great Facilities. Great staff. Great transport links.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Much bigger site then you think when you enter as it’s split in two areas. Grass pitch with electricity a good size and near to the toilets and showers, which were exceptionally clean and modern looking.
Very warm welcome and lots of info regarding pub ( 10% off ) and near by train station. Staff were fantastic when my sun canopy and the wind fell out. They took it down and neatly folded it away , texted me and left a phone message. amazing service! If you like a site where you don’t move your van this site is perfect. Train to Weymouth or all stations to Bournemouth. Bus from Station to Lulworth Cove and Dirdle Dor.
Disliked Nothing.

A well managed, immaculately maintained site. Very friendly staff.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Immaculately maintained site and facilities with very friendly staff. The site is well managed, secure and the ideal base for exploring the Jurassic coast. Laundry facilities, a shop, no tokens for the hot showers and advice on hand. It is positioned near a railway line but it wasn't at all intrusive and no trains appeared to run at nighttime. The added advantage was a bridge over the railway to the Ship Inn, so good food and a decent pint are 1 minute away on foot.

Great stay at Whitemead.
Electric grass pitch
Liked I recently stayed at this site and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The facilities were excellent—everything was clean, well-maintained, and clearly looked after with care. The showers and toilets were spotless, and there were plenty of amenities available to make the stay comfortable and convenient.
What really made the visit stand out, though, was the staff. Everyone I encountered was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything I needed. Whether it was giving local recommendations or just checking in to make sure everything was okay, their positive attitude made a big difference.
Overall, this is a campsite I would highly recommend. Great facilities combined with such warm and helpful staff made for a really enjoyable stay, and I’d definitely return in the future.
Disliked Nothing the site was lovely

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The staff were extremely helpful (thanks Shane 😃). The site is immaculate and the size of the pitches are generous (we had electric hardstanding).
Facilities are really clean, well kept and the site felt really safe and secure. Also great pub literally over the road (the ship), which sells great food and a good beer selection.
Wouldn't hesitate to go back, highly recommend for a quiet and relaxing stay.
Disliked Nothing, everything was spot on.
