Newlands Holiday Park

Me gustó Nice site, good size pitches. Play park was great and little soft play area.
Swimming pool was great both indoor and outdoor pools. Location is good for lots of different days out.
Food in the restaurant was lovely.

No me gustó Toilet and shower blocks, whilst clean are in need of some work, toilets didn't always flush, facilities looking very worn out.
Same with mini arcades, machines were very old and didn't always work.

Me gustó Swimming pool - although the indoor pool is £3.50 per session.

Children's playground.

Bus stop outside the campsite to Lyme Regis.

Very friendly and helpful staff in the leisure centre.

Clean facilities in wash block.

No me gustó Dreadful and I mean DREADFUL pitches. One of worst I've ever stayed on. MINISCULE to the point where I couldn't extend guy ropes of my small 4 man tent in order to fit my small car and tent on the pitch (no alternative parking was offered).

Ground is hard and rocky. Good luck getting your pegs in. I was wielding my mallet like Thor's hammer and stones and gravel made it impossible.

Pitches were poorly maintained- scrubby grass and an extremely strong and disgusting smell of dog wee that has completely permeated my tent to the point I'm not sure it is salvageable after 3 nights on the pitch from hell.

Very noisy atmosphere until late at night. Lots of groups of adults and their children, parents drinking at the tent while children run around pitches noisily until 10pm at the earliest. I like kids and camp with my own son but this is not a good vibe and makes it very hard for other kids to sleep.

Proximity to A35 makes for a lot of road noise.

£51 pounds per night for all of the above - WITHOUT electric hookup!

Me gustó Location, shop

No me gustó Disabled facilities door not wheelchair friendly, too heavy. The dropped kerbs are too high for wheelchairs and no flat wheelchair access around speed bumps.

We were on the top field and it was fairly quiet.

Me gustó The indoor pool, clean, warm and not over crowded (have to book on) hour slot, changing facilities for the pool also clean and well maintained.

Quietness after dark - good for families with young kids getting to sleep.

Shop on site simple but essential.

5 minutes drive from the beach (pebbled beach so deffo wear your beach shoes)

Evening entertainment was ok.

No me gustó There’s nowhere to pull up and wait on arrival so your sat in the middle of the car park trying to avoid multiple cars / vans / trucks coming and going as it’s a leisure centre as-well (multiple deliveries etc) so was always busy and on main road so unable to pull up out the way of the car park.

How far away the park was from the touring caravan park and that it was so far away from the main bit of the park itself.

The amount of dog poop on the dog field - used it daily but there was always some dog pooh on there - not ideal with young children.

Pitch size for touring caravans small and not easy to park up being on steep hill - unless you’ve a motor mover you’ll be ok (although the pitch itself is level) and if pitched with awning car up tight to caravan next to you.

Me gustó Pitch was good with easy electrical hook up and superb views across the valley and Charmouth. Good facilities on site. Bar was well staffed and restaurant food was good. Good to see a decent real ale on tap (Tribute).

No me gustó Getting access to the swimming pool was difficult at suitable times. Seems to have been a change here - I'm not sure it's a good idea to open it up to all from the surrounding area. It limits the times people on-site can use it. It is the campers who are paying the (somewhat inflated) fees to stay on the site, not the community in general. Perhaps a reduced rate for campers ?
