Meadow non-electric grass pitch

Liked: One of the best campsites I’ve stayed on, facilities were great, showers were lovely and hot and very clean. Tent pitches were spaced a good distance apart and felt very secluded, not overlooked or exposed at all and staff very friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to go back.

Disliked: Nothing, I loved it

Giorgie A. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Meadow non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Everything - no faults! Campsite was clean and easily accessible, on-site shop with the essentials which was useful for bits we’d forgotten in our shop. Toilets and showers were clean and well set up, never felt like there wasn’t enough. Everyone respected everyone’s space and curfew. Very close to Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door (~15 min) and Weymouth (~20 min)

Disliked: Floor in toilets and showers was a bit muddy due to the weather but to be expected, so not an issue

Rachel S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Meadow non-electric grass pitch

Liked: We had an amazing time at Sandyholme Holiday Park. The park itself was immaculate with lots of space and a lovely little park and pond area with ducks. The facilities were brilliantly clean, we tended to use the main block rather than the mobile block on the camping field. The staff were so lovely and friendly, and extremely helpful in giving pointers to local attractions.

Disliked: There wasn’t much I disliked about this site, my only slight criticism would be the mobile toilet blocks on the camping field being unisex, but it wasn’t an issue as we used the main block which was a few minutes away.

Local attractions

Go a-roamin’ to Dorchester’s Roman Amphitheatre or the Roman townhouse remains, get your toes wet or go fishing at seaside resorts Charmouth, Lyme Regis and West Bay, get energetic with easily accessible golfing, fishing, scuba diving and sailing... take in the views of Golden Cap and the island of Portland from Chesil Bank and West Bay, or just pack a picnic and explore Dorset’s World Heritage Jurassic Coast… there are walks and trails all around the countryside surrounding Sandyholme to find the perfect chill out spot. Savvy shoppers should make a stroll around Bridport a top tick on the shopping list: this market town has some of the widest streets in England and has had an outdoor Saturday market since permish was granted by Liz the First way back in the 16th-century. Beaminster, Dorchester and Sherborne are good additional options for maxing out the credit cards with handcrafted goodies and shops to suit all tastes and budgets. The seaside town of Weymouth is just one of many to spend a day or afternoon in, following in the watery steps of George III who came here 14 times in the hope that a Weymouth dip would cure his bouts of insanity (alas, it didn’t, but it did put Weymouth on the map as a top tourist destination: go see).
