What customers say
Great spot near the beach with awesome sea views! Facilities are neat, especially the showers and laundry. Easy online check-in and friendly staff get a nod. Some found pitches a bit sloped, and facilities a bit of a trek, with occasional noise from others.

No electric pitch you just find a space and set up staff are friendly
Big Berries non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Location to beach was great and a pub nearby
Disliked No showers in the field only toilets, and during busy holiday weekends are not enough as people tend to go in there to clean teeth or change, also not cleaned enough. If you camp on the left hand side as you enter the field you are closest to the showers (near statics) these are great but only 3 in the ladies so alway a queue also the little change rooms have no mirrors so u have to use the mirrors by the sink.

Wonderful location but wouldn’t camp there again.
Big Berries non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Reviewing as a camper only.
Beautiful location with bar/restaurant on water front.
Great for walkers.
Disliked Road to holiday park is single lane with passing places. This road cannot cope with the traffic and is subsequently difficult to navigate.
Whole of campsite is on a hill which makes sleeping difficult.

Brilliant place - Well Kept - Very Clean and superb location!!
Big Berries non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Cleanliness
Location
Disliked Not enough toilets as always waiting.... but my body may be on the same timing as everyone else. Horrible man (not from site) who told us to move our tent as we weren't 6 Metres away.... Luckily a lovely couple of families from Germany with some noisy kids came in and pitched right by him...I love Karma...We also had to endure an illegal rave on the Friday but I think we were more annoyed we weren't invited 😀

Big Berries non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Great stay facilities very clean and plenty of them and we love the area so it’s perfect for us! Great location close to Charmouth and West Bay which are our favourite places to visit.
Disliked We stayed quite close to the sewage farm and it was smelly at times so if we stayed again we would pitch up further away.

Big Berries non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked De wasmachine en het uitzicht buiten de camping op de baai.
Disliked Er waren te weinig WC en douches. We moesten wachten. Ook zijn de plaatsen schuin en was het veld weinig sfeervol. De douches waren niet warm.

Tough camping on hills with holes, but lovely location in Dorset.
Big Berries non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Loved the location, the location to the beach, direct access to Lyme Regis and Bridport which was immense. P.s I'll highlight the clock inn at the top of Duck Street as the food is amazing, the staff are exceptional and you feel like at home.
Disliked Big Berries camping is tough as literally on a hill and if the flat pitches which are small are gone. You'll struggle. If you are injured as I was or even disabled I'd give this field a miss. Potholes everywhere. P.s the illegal rave was ridiculous

Good spot for seatown and Westbay! Well run campsite.
Big Berries non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Good location with a short walk to seatown where a great pub and beautiful stony beach awaits. Short drive to Westbay. Friendly atmosphere and large pitches. Clean toilets close by, well stocked shop and friendly helpful staff.
Disliked It’s a bit of a pain walking to the shower and washing up block with small children we found that to be not to ideal. It’s windy as you’re on a hill and sloping pitches mainly.
