What customers say
Great spot near Charmouth beach, clean grounds, friendly vibe. Families loved the pools, play areas, and soft play. Facilities are good but could use updates. Handy for exploring, with bus service. Some noted road noise and uneven pitches.

A site in an excellent position. Needs to up its cleaning scheme.
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked The lady at reception gave a warm welcome and quickly explained where our pitch was.
The bus stops was right outside the site, which made life easy getting to Lyme Regis or Bridport.
The grass pitch was level.
As we were only there for 2 nights, we didn’t use any other facilities except the shop for milk. It appeared to be well stocked.
Disliked We disliked the cleanliness of the showers/toilets. These were very dated, and although we saw the cleaners in them in the morning, it wasn’t thorough cleaning, just a wipe over. The loos did not appear to be checked over during the day which they definitely needed. We were there for only 2 nights, half way through September. I dread to think what they would be like in peak season. The wash-up area (3 sinks) appeared not to be cleaned during our stay.

We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the cleanliness of the shower and toilet facilities. We're sorry to hear they didn’t meet your expectations during your stay.
