What customers say
Grand spot next to the Red Lion pub, with welcoming staff, plenty of space on the pitches, and close to Durdle Door. Pub grub gets a nod too. Facilities are grand and clean, but a few folks reckon they could do with a spruce up. A bit of road noise and the odd bother with codes or things being full sometimes, but all in all, a decent value for a handy and enjoyable break.

Good location but a few tweaks needed here and there.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Location.Nice flat pitch.
Disliked Not enough sanitary provisions. Only 3 showers and toilets. Not good enough. When this site is full couldn't imagine the chaos of this. Both mornings no toilet paper in toilet. Need to spend out on a nice shower block. Site needs a bit of a tidy up. Bins overflowing, not good in the heat. When we arrived someone was on the pitch allocated to us, resolved but not the point. Hospitality not very good ,should at least show you to your pitch. Used pitch up a lot and other sites make more of an effort with cleanliness/ hospitality.

A nice calm and friendly site
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked the field was nice and spacious and the whole surrounding area was calm and quiet. The pub itself is very homely and welcoming and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The facilities on the campsite were also well looked after. We felt very relaxed here and would certainly recommend staying here for a nice quiet retreat. Durdle door and Lulworth Cove are just a short drive down the road too.
Disliked Nothing at all

A great great stay, lovely people and plenty of space.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The overall site was fantastic, great field next to the site for walking my dog. The pub attached looks fantastic we didn’t use it on this occasion but when we checked in the inside was fantastic and the people super helpful and polite.
They had music on outside one of the evenings and that was a great evening listening to that while relaxing at our van. Great stay would recommend!!
