Liked: We really liked the swimming pool & soft play! The site was clean. Staff friendly. Good location to Charmouth beach.
Disliked: We were on a pitch that was at the top of the hill and on a slant. We didn’t have any wedges to make us level.

Liked: We couldn't complain about anything to do with the actual camp. All the facilities were clean and adequate for our needs.
Disliked: We were disappointed at the level of road noise from the A35 which travelled wherever you were on the site. We live in a city and was hoping to just hear the birds. The site promoting information should also state there is payment for the pool which is usually included in your pitch price. The proxy to the beach is also a bit unrealistic.

From the manager: Hello, Thanks for your review. We are pleased that you found our site clean but are sorry that you didn't read before booking about the pool charges and felt that the walk to the beach a little far but I guess this does depend on personal opinion. Best wishes, Newlands Holidays
Lovely site with good clean amenities. Beautiful views

Liked: The beautiful views and cleanliness of the site including the bathroom block. Spar shop for essentials The bar staff very friendly and pleasant and food menu good although we didn’t order anything. pools looked spotless
Disliked: Showers had a section to put towels and sit while drying and 2 hooks for clothing but the shower tended to spray wide so the seat was often wet. Needed to be more separate from spray. No individual wash cubicles

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: location good - short walk/even shorter drive from Charmouth beach and very close to the main road for travel, yet still fairly quiet good facilities - toilets, showers, self-serve launderette, a SPAR shop, restaurant, games room, pool and soft play all on site lots of choice of accommodation types
Disliked: some pitches are uneven shop is expensive toilets, while clean, needed a bit of attention. Some cubicles had faulty flushes and locks.

Camping pod
Liked: Peace & quite, tranquility with amazing scenery. Camp site - clean, tidy & organised. Staff - friendly & polite in all areas; reception, bar, pool, cleaners etc. Amenties all excellent, (hot clean showers), washing up facilities etc. Space - plenty of space around pods and parking next to it. Local areas - all beautiful, Lyme Regis, Bridport, Colmers Hill, Golden Cap, Charmouth. Food- Roast dinner looked & smelt amazing. ( we hadnt booked for it but wished we had 😜).
Disliked: Didnt know we had to pay to use the pool until we got there. Didnt see anything on the website unless its hidden. Then you could only use for 1 hour at a time. You could get of the pool and pay again if there was a slot. Biggest disappointment was the sauna. We chose this particular site because it had a sauna BUT you couldnt just have a sauna it is included in the pool slot. We didnt want a swim but we did want a sauna everyday. There are only 25 spaces per session for the indoor pool (this includes the sauna). From our observations, most people were in the pool, very few were in the sauna and on all the occassions we wanted to use the sauna but were not able to, it was empty! Very disappointing. Entire area very, very hilly with many very steep hills, including the campsite, but this cant be helped at least it keeps you fit! 😜

Liked: Great facilities, clean & organised and within reasonable walking distance of the beach. Lovely bonus to have the swimming pool on site. We have a wheelchair user in our family and found the site quite steep in places, however the main facilites had level or ramped access, and we were allocated a pitch lower on a level close to the main facilites.

Liked: The quiet park and the bus stop outside the park.
Disliked: On arrival we had to wait 40 mins before being sited. Staff attitude was awful, we were clearly a nuisance! Mostly in reception but also in the shop and bar. No holiday buzz to the park. Pools are small and the outside one is absolutely freezing.
