What customers say
This popular, well-equipped family campground boasts a great location near Charmouth and Lyme Regis. Guests rave about the clean facilities, spacious sites, and friendly staff. On-site pools and play areas are a hit with kids. While most find it excellent, some noted road noise and occasional crowding.

Would highly recommend - cannot fault anything
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Our first camping experience and it didn't disappoint! The camp is wonderful and clean, beautiful view, so close to the beach, hot clean showers, hot water for washing up our utensils, big play area for kids, two pools, soft play...we did not want to leave. Lovely staff, friendly and helpful. Quiet area. We had a small tent but the campsite takes tents of all shapes and sizes. We will be back!

All in all, quite disappointed. Although the swimming pools were nice.
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Swimming pools were clean and well kept. Lots in the surrounding area to do and see. handy shop on site.
Disliked The tourer pitches are very close together. On the photos you'd expect they're facing a lovely view, they're not at all. During busy season, you are crammed in. The men's toilets STANK no matter what time or what day... Felt unclean. No lunch served in the restaurant. The games room was mostly out of order. The play area is ok, but right at the opposite side to the tourers so too far to let younger kids go alone. The "second" play area isn't even worth being there.
Overall, 3/10 for us, the swimming pool being the only redeeming feature.

Would definitely return but eat out somewhere else.
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Great facilities on site and a 15 min walk to Charmouth. Beautiful countryside views and we couldn't hear the road (camper) at night. Enjoyed the quiz night!
Folk in the Spar shop were lovely.
Disliked Restaurant food was pricey for the quality of ingredients.

Looking forward to going back soon.
Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The staff were extremely friendly. There was a problem with a rowdy bunch of campers who made excessive noise one night. They were asked to leave the very next day. The managers then made a point of visiting everyone else to apologise for the trouble caused.
The shop had a good level of groceries, drinks, snacks and toys, all at reasonable prices.
The swimming pools are of a high standard. With nice clean changing facilities.
The bar and evening entertainment were also a bonus
My grandchildren loved the soft play and outdoor play parks.
The shower block was kept in an immaculate condition, with plenty of showers for everyone, so no queues.
The site is handy for the many lovely beaches in this part of the world.
Disliked The site is on a steep incline but the pitches are level. This does mean that the walk to and from the shops will work off a few calories.
There are plenty of seagulls on site so make sure you lock up any left over food or rubbish

Good site but continuous road noise.
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Great views. Good facilities. A.nd a great a t campsite in almost every way.
Disliked The road noise from the A35 was continual and through-out the day and night. It certainly made sleeping difficult. Unfortunately we would not come back for that reason.

Good clean facilties and friendly staff. We had a wonderful stay.
Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The amenities were good. Food in the restaurant was also lovely.
Disliked Our pitch was unfortunately very stoney and full of flint which made it difficult to pitch up the tent.
The amenities were good but could use toilet and shower block for the top field.
We had a great time until the last night where we unfortunately has a very rowdy tent 2 pitches down who kept us awake all night with singing and music. Despite being politely asked to quieten down, they continued until the early hours of the morning which really ruined our last night.
