Date of Visit: July 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Riggson9 1 review from this member

 Excellent camp site. Very good size pitches, clean, well laid out, good facilities, staff very friendly and helpful. Fantastic views and coastal footpath walks, so be prepared for a few hills. Beach really close, pebbles, shingle with a bit of sand at low tide and dogs are allowed. We were very lucky with fantastic weather but when the winds get up it can be a bit scary. Strong pegs and storm straps essential. Would love to go back again. Lovely pool but a bit cool when we took the plunge

 Lovely camp site, stayed for two nights, site is kept lovely and clean, plenty of water points and electric hook ups.

Shower and toilet block are kept really clean and tidy, showers have plenty of room to move around in and plenty of hot water, toilets are very clean, only let down was the hairdryers for 20p you didn't have much blow drying time.

Shop is well stocked, didn't get chance to use the bar or swimming pool, but I am sure I will on our next visit.

Prices not bad really but school holidays are higher.

 we are regular visitors to this site for many years. The situation is amazing spectacular views, walks and the sea is literally yards away. No traffic to spoil the peace and quiet. Clifftop walks to beacon hill if fit enough. And over to a little quaint pub that did cook meals is well worth the climb. Also there is a village walk to a garden doing teas and snacks.

If you walk the other way into west bay there is a superb cafe on the beach reasonably priced. Food is well cooked and god choice of meals.

Dogs are allowed on the top end of the beach, there is a harbour shops and plenty of snack bars fish and chips.

The camp itself is stunning. Food is cooked on the lounge bar not a vast range but well cooked and not too pricey. It has a pool and gym,

Pitch and putt course.

We have been returning here for years, you can sit virtually alone on the cliff top and watch the sunsetting over the sea, tranquil and relaxing. Away from it all but in a good location. Short drive into lyme regis for livelier entertainment.

Well worth visiting you will be back. Usually you can just call in on spec and pitches are available. But busy weekends, very popular, toilets clean and well fitted.

 Lovely site with stunning views - clean and well-equipped showers and wash blocks - well laid-out and flat pitches - little bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Only downside is the wind - if you are in the 'open' Area 3 in a tent and it is windy. Well, let's just say that if you are not well pegged down then you will be looking for your tent near Weymouth.

Reviewer: Loopi33 4 reviews from this member

 Went in May hoping for good weather. Was ok apart from strong winds. Felt a little vulnerable but then we were on a cliff. Amazing view. Clean quiet site. Fairly empty. Strange set up for me anyway is that you can pick your own pitch within a certain area. This meant we were able to get great view over bay. Two beaches within walks over cliff- have to be fairly fit though as they are quite steep. Didn't use the bar but the shop was a lifesaver for basics we had absent mindedly forgotten. Great staff service.

Reviewer: Costawad 3 reviews from this member

 We visited this sight a few times in 2009 and it remains our favourite site.

It has everything. In particular the coastline walks and views.The rabbits make it very interesting for our dog.

The toilets are immaculate.

The children's play area is large and away from the pitches but in good view.

Shop restaurant and bar on site all very good.

Cant fault it.

 Beautiful location. Well maintained site with excellent shower and toilet blocks.

Motor homers please note that most hard standing pitches we saw, including ours required levelling blocks and some of them were quite severe so I'd advise Milenco Quattros as necessary.

Lovely walks to Eype and Westport and the pub by the old rail terminal serves Palmers ales (which I fell in love with!). 


Date of Visit: July 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Bunny66 3 reviews from this member

 We stayed at this site for nine days in July.

The site itself is very well maintained.

The showers cubicles are large and clean, the swimming pool is larger than a lot of sites we have visited and also very clean.

The bar and restaurant on site is a little pricey but adequate, the shop stocks a large range of items.

The views are stunning and the pitches are a good size. The children's playgrounds are kept spotless. The dog walk is for the very fit being a large field which is very very steep. However it did give us a good work out as did the walk from the site to nearby Eype beach (which can be accessed from the site) and is also dog friendly all year round.

There are a hotel and pub outside the site but we did not go to them as they were down a very narrow steep lane that was a bit precarious to drive or to try walking back if it was dark.

West bay about half an hour walk from the site along a coastal path is also for the fit, particularly coming back. However, we found West bay a little soul less.

Bridport is about a 5-10 minute drive and can be walked by either the country lane outside the site or via westbay but would take at least 30-40 minutes. It has a Morrisons which is great value and has lots of individual shops as well as a market some days.

Lyme regis (about a 20 minute drive) is absolutely fabulous, we loved the quaintness of it and the beach side pubs.

Unfortunately, the downside of this site are the strong winds. We had read about it in other reviews but felt we would give it a go thinking we may have one or two days of it. Maybe we were unlucky but we had strong winds practically the whole time we were there. We could not put our awning up at all and in fact saw a large awning ripped from a caravan whilst we were there and several discarded tents and windbreakers.

It was so strong sometimes we could not even sit outside and one night it was so bad and with rain that it was like being on a boat rather than being in a caravan, I cannot imagine what it was like for the poor tenters! For some unfathomable reason the tents are in the most exposed part of the site right on the edge of the cliff, which although offer stunning views also mean that they are more open to the elements.

As I said maybe we were unlucky but I don't think we will chance a site so high up again.

Reviewer: SusanHB 2 reviews from this member

 We are not normally fans of large sites with lots of facilities, but for various reasons we ended up booked into Highlands End for three nights at the end of July/early August. We had 2 tent pitches without any hookups etc. We were very happy to be in a field with only other tents/trailer tents.

The cleanliness and standard of maintenance of the whole site is very impressive. The toilet/shower blocks are kept clean and there is ample hot water. It got a bit muddy underfoot when it had been raining but I think that's pretty much unavoidable.

The bar/restaurant/club area is normally somewhere I would avoid like the plague, but it was perfect when we had spent a night being battered by the wind, woken up in a cloud and cooked breakfast in persistent rain. It's very spacious and the fact that it was also immaculately clean and yet they were happy for us to bring our wet collie in as well was a godsend at the time.

There is lots of room in a large empty field to let dogs run off steam.

The children's playground is robust and large enough to keep the children happy for a good while.

The shop carried a very wide range of goods and they will refreeze you freezer blocks for free.

The comments about grass cutting are spot on - they really do come round as soon as a pitch is empty - the one across from us was done at 8:50am, but it wasn't a big deal.

The view of the coast from the site is splendid. Being at the top of a cliff you do need to think about where you pitch if it's forecast to be windy. We deliberately stayed on the lower side away from the cliff top. Some of the fields have a pronounced slope but the pitches are quite well defined and we felt we had a reasonable amount of choice as to where we set up.

 Well were do we start! we booked 7 days camping. Fantastic well kept site, massive pitches with awesome views. Unfortunately when we arrived we set our tent up in wind and fog. After talking to some people they told us this site is always windy. After 3 nights of wondering if our tent could take the wind any more we decided to pack up and head home before our tent ended up in the sea. But must say this really is a great site hope the weather is better for you. Also the shop was of a good size but not very well stocked. Food was fantastic from the campsite bar and was child friendly.
