Bincombe Bumps Camping

Ik was blij met: 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.

Ik was niet zo blij met: 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).

Van de 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

Ik was blij met: Friendliness of staff.
Basic but decent facilities
Lovely views
Musical entertainment.
Bar
Food
Logs etc

Ik was niet zo blij met: 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.

Van de 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
The Bincombe Bumps Camping Team

Ik was blij met: Good size pitch spaces. Good atmosphere in the evenings with live music across the bank holiday weekend.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Few female toilets for size of the camp. These could have been kept cleaner (comparing to other sites visited this year).

Van de manager: Hi Doug,
I'll keep my response brief.
Most people these day recognise a genuine review as opposed to an unreasonable one.
On check in you would have unequivocally been advised about the wind, which is why most of our campers decided to pitch in the two sheltered fields.
You either chose to ignore that advice or did not listen to the check in briefing.
Those campers that chose to camp in the main field knew the risks and those that lost their tents were very philosophical about it...
As for our facilities, I will let all our other reviews speak for themselves...

Ik was blij met: Cracking views unfortunately to windy so we had leave early.nice touch live music and bar/food shack next time will pitch behind tree's great location for weymouth

Ik was blij met: Beautiful site with great facilities. We loved the fact there were bands on over the weekend, there was a bar, you could buy fresh coffees and food and hire a camp fire. There was so much room on site to camp and we got a great view of the sea. Lovely showers and toilets.

Ik was niet zo blij met: N/a

Ik was blij met: What a beautiful place. The campsite sits on a massive hill overlooking spectacular views topped off with excellent facilities and services. Well mannered and friendly staff. Would highly recommend and will be going back next year for sure.
