Liked: -The sea view is absolutely stunning.
-The surrounding area is beautiful, with a scenic hiking path offering views of the sea and a cozy beach just a short walk from the campsite.
-The toilets and showers were exceptionally clean.
-Having a fridge and freezer on site was a fantastic addition — very convenient!
-All the staff we encountered were lovely and incredibly friendly.

Disliked: - One small downside was that the remains and roots of the harvested plant were left on the ground, making the terrain a bit rough in places.

From the manager: Thank you for staying with us. We appreciate your feedback. We do agree, the grass isn't perfect but there are better areas across the field. Unfortunately, the exceptionally dry spring and the local Council only giving us the go ahead 2 and a half weeks prior to our opening date, meant that we weren't able to do much about the state of the grass. The plan is to re-seed the grass in the autumn which should give an improved surface next year.

Liked: Lots of space, woodland walk to beach direct from the site, toilet block, washing facilities/water and showers all close and exceptionally clean.

Email to access campsite straightforward.
Cafe a short walk away. Camp fires and dogs allowed.

Freezer facilities available if required

Owners very friendly and welcoming

Disliked: Not a dislike but constructive feedback,

A sign before the turning to the owners property would help as Google maps directed us the wrong way.

A direction sign back from the cafe in the woodlands again might be useful.

Opening hours for cafe could have been extended to accommodate evening
Or have a small show for supplies. It didn’t bother us as staying a short time but maybe for those staying longer.

Liked: I had a great experience at Ringstead Bay Camping. The location is excellent—quiet, with beautiful sea views and walking access to the beach. The campsite is spacious and clean, and the natural surroundings create a very relaxing atmosphere.

The shared facilities (toilets, showers, and washing-up areas) were well maintained and regularly cleaned. Staff were friendly, and everything was well-organized. It’s a perfect place if you’re looking for a more traditional, back-to-nature camping experience without overcrowding or noise.

Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys coastal walks, sea views, and peaceful nights under the stars. I’ll definitely come back!

Liked: We throughly enjoyed our stay at this site.
We were a little optimistic as there were no reviews but we are so so glad we braved it.

We were greeted by the owners who were VERY friendly and we felt so welcome.
The toilet, washing facitilies were great too.

We enjoyed a walk along the beach and an ice cream at the reef cafe too.

There were lockable lockers to securely charge phones which was brilliant and not something I have seen at any other site we have been too.

Thank you for such a brilliant stay, we will definitely be returning :-)

Liked: The large space, the view, the quite, the remoteness yet easy access, the cleanliness, the essential provisions, the friendly and welcoming staff.

The lockable lockers to securely charge phones what a great idea.

Disliked: Nothing, only the ground condition but they already have plans to remedy that.

So Nothing

Liked: We stayed in the bell tent provided. It was a headless free way of camping which was awesome. We also couldn’t fit our normal tent in the car. The toilets and showers were cleaned regularly and the campsite was near the beach and a lovely beach cafe which was very quaint. The big open field gave our kids the freedom to run around and kick a ball around. There was plenty of space around the bell tent which allowed adequate space for our table an chairs.

Disliked: The grass was course and made it a bit tricky when playing on it. But this is understandable as it was previously a crop field and you could see the ridges from previously being plowed.
The fridge and freezer was quite a walk from the camp site but not a deal breaker.
