What customers say

Great spot! Loved the quiet, clean site and big pitches. Friendly staff, ace showers, and pretty grounds with a duck pond. Handy for beaches and sights. Only minor grumbles were a few wasps, bit of hit-and-miss shower pressure, and shared loos.

Meadow unpowered grass site

Liked Great being able to park up where ever you like, gated holiday park, spacious. Close to Weymouth and durdle door.

Disliked Facilities are not great, mixed gender toilet block in camping field which was smelly, water randomly stoped on two days once mid shower and another time shower wouldn’t turn on in family shower room, reception closed so unable to contact anyone. Not quiet at night for small children trying to get to sleep.

Meadow unpowered grass site

Liked We stayed in the furthest field. It was spacious, flat and really quiet. Great for kids. The main block facilities were good, clean and modern. Staff were friendly. Nice touch with the pizza and bar vans at the entrance.

Disliked It was quite a walk to the main facilities from the field that we stayed in. The field next to us had a portable shower/toilet area which was not always very clean and extremely busy. It would have been useful if the furthest field where we stayed had their own toilet area to reduce the use of the portable area and also the walk to amenities. The showers in both blocks were temperamental. A couple of times whilst showering in the main block the water totally turned off mid shower and didn’t start again meaning my children weren’t able to finish their shower and were covered in soap.

2 bedroom safari tent

Liked Loved the view from the safari tent, so much space.
Not far from the toilet block, and the tent had everything you needed, from utensils, water bowser to pots and pans.

It was comfortable and clean and the check in was simple and easy in advance.

Sandyholme is in a good location, not far from super markets, attractions, beaches etc.
the toilets/ showers we spacious and there was plenty for the size of the site. The shower pressure depended on use but on a whole they were great.

Disliked We visited on a hot bank holiday and so it was busy- the noise level of music and social chatter/kids running around was quite loud till quite late (if you have small children)
But it calmed down around 11:30-12 each night.

Meadow unpowered grass site

Liked A lovely campsite. Very welcoming and relaxing. Very large pitches. Staff couldn't do enough for us. Certainly go back and would definitely recommend.

Disliked Not a dislike, more of a recommendation. Showers could do with updating in the meadow field and the toilets could do with cleaning 3 times a day especially in the busy months.

Local attractions

Go a-roamin’ to Dorchester’s Roman Amphitheatre or the Roman townhouse remains, get your toes wet or go fishing at seaside resorts Charmouth, Lyme Regis and West Bay, get energetic with easily accessible golfing, fishing, scuba diving and sailing... take in the views of Golden Cap and the island of Portland from Chesil Bank and West Bay, or just pack a picnic and explore Dorset’s World Heritage Jurassic Coast… there are walks and trails all around the countryside surrounding Sandyholme to find the perfect chill out spot. Savvy shoppers should make a stroll around Bridport a top tick on the shopping list: this market town has some of the widest streets in England and has had an outdoor Saturday market since permish was granted by Liz the First way back in the 16th-century. Beaminster, Dorchester and Sherborne are good additional options for maxing out the credit cards with handcrafted goodies and shops to suit all tastes and budgets. The seaside town of Weymouth is just one of many to spend a day or afternoon in, following in the watery steps of George III who came here 14 times in the hope that a Weymouth dip would cure his bouts of insanity (alas, it didn’t, but it did put Weymouth on the map as a top tourist destination: go see).
