Great views & vibes, friendly staff, fun bar with live music. Generally clean facilities, but the exposed hilltop can be very windy. Some reported toilet issues during peak times.

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Loved the whole stay. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. The location is just perfect, the view is so beautiful. The place is clean well maintained, toilets clean and fully stocked. There were live music, local beers and cider. Recycling station and sheltered area. Everything what you would need for an amazing camping experience.

Disliked Nothing

Teodora D.

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The size of the camping site and the view were amazing.
The proximity to areas of natural beauty, shops and options for restaurants/pubs.
I guess the fact that you had a bar and a kitchen on the camping site can be appealing to some people, although I don't necessarily need this perk.

Disliked eally windy campsite.

The toilets were really far away and not sufficient for the number of people camping on the site.

The cleanliness level of the toilets and showers was not the best; the toilets were constantly running out of either toilet paper or soap.

During one of the nights, there was a group of people who continued partying and being loud after 11 pm, despite the campsite advertising a 'strictly no noise hour'. Cars were continuously passing by my tent after 11 pm (I’m not sure if these were people managing the site or those partying).

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello Teodora,
Thank you leaving a review.
The toilets are checked regularly and I'm sorry if they did not always meet your expectations.
However, to say "the toilets" (plural) were constantly running out of handsoap and toilet rolls is unfair, inaccurate and simply not true.
We cannot control the wind, we are high up and it's the trade off for the views. On checking in, this would have been relayed to you with the suggestion to use one of our sheltered fields.
The 11pm no noise policy is not a request, but a campsite rule. If you had phoned the campsite number, the ranger who sleeps on site would have gladly dealt with the disturbance.
As for cars driving around after 11pm, that is a difficult
thing to control, but I can assure you it was not any campsite vehicle, unless it was the ranger doing a final site check at between 10.30-11.00pm.
I am disappointed you did not enjoy your stay.
We will take any fair or valid comments you have made on board and do our best to make improvements in these areas.
Best regards
The Bincombe Bumps Camping Team

Lovely views

Disliked Realise that the campsite is not responsible for the weather but it’s a very exposed field, we had very high winds and had to abandon our holiday and leave early because tent poles snapped and tent collapsed.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Ray,
Thanks for your review.
Unfortunately, you are right, we can't do anything about the wind.
We do have 2 sheltered fields and this would have been relayed to you when you checked in. We monitor the weather constantly and always advise our campers to use the sheltered fields if the wind is high. Unfortunately you chose not to follow this advice.
I'm sorry to hear your holiday was cut short.
Regards

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Good size pitch spaces. Good atmosphere in the evenings with live music across the bank holiday weekend.

Disliked Few female toilets for size of the camp. These could have been kept cleaner (comparing to other sites visited this year).

From the manager: Hi Gareth,

We do strive to keep our facilities as clean as possible.
I am sorry they did not meet your expectations when you stayed with us.

Local attractions

This stretch of coastline is a hotspot for all manner of watersports (so much so that it played host to 2012 Olympic sailing events). Head to Jurassic Coast Activities (five minutes' drive) if you fancy a pop at sea kayaking, jetskiing or windsurfing. The area is also home to plenty of family-friendly attractions: Abbotsbury (20 minutes) with its swannery and kids' adventure farm is a prime choice for tiddler-focused jaunts (it's also home to a subtropical garden that can be visited on the same ticket). The Sea Life Centre (10 minutes), which is home to impressive sand sculptures and miniature golf as well as marine critters, is also worth a gander. To be sure, there's much to be said for Weymouth's bustling beachfront (15 minutes), but local folk are more likely to be found sunbathing in secluded spots like Mupe Bay (30 minutes) or Church Ope Cove (25 minutes). True, they are harder to get to (and may involve walks from the car or venturing to the Isle of Portland), but the folk at Bincombe Bumps Camping are happy to help you locate their favourite secret spots.
