What customers say

This neat, roomy campsite has a welcoming vibe with super helpful hosts. Clean showers and loos get a thumbs up. Guests rave about the space, pretty views, and kid-friendly playground/tyre swing. The food van's a winner too. Great value for a chill getaway, highly recommended.

Bell tent

Liked Everything! A lovely friendly welcome. All you need from a site. Good quality, clean shower and toilet facilities. Spacious and clean area to wash up those pots and pans. Numerous fresh water points to fill the kettle and have a brew. A beautiful, quiet setting to relax in. Lots of outdoor toys and equipment for the kids to use, and a play park for them to burn off some energy. Delicious and affordable food on site morning and evening from the brilliant Jurassic Pork!

This is our second visit, and we will be back.

Disliked Nothing.

Liked A wonderful grass site with lots of space to fully unwind and relax. Very good for kids of all ages who can enjoy the space and freedom. Walks from the site through the beautiful oaks of West Dorset. Greatest hosts you could wish for.

Local attractions

Might you have seen the cliffs of West Bay before? It’s quite possible if you ever watched Broadchurch, as they played something of a starring role in the telly series. They’re even better viewed in real life though, so it’s worth making the 15-minute drive to see them for yourself. Lyme Regis (20 minutes’ drive) is another fine choice for a day by the sea – mackerel fishing trips head out from the harbour, and there may well be fossils lurking on the beach (and if there aren’t any presenting themselves, you can see what other folk have found at the town’s Dinosaurland Museum). In fact, pretty much the whole stretch of coast here is worth a visit, so strolls on the South West Coast Path are highly recommended. The scenery extends under the surface too, with the 2,000-year-old Beer Quarry Caves (35 minutes) certainly meriting a detour. Away from the coast, Axe Valley Wildlife Park and Mapperton House and Gardens are both within 20 minutes’ drive, as are a couple of vineyards and cider producers for guests of a particular vintage.
