 Campsite is spotlessly clean. We are early risers so showers were very clean for us. The downside is that the campsite is in a beautiful location on a cliff - great when dry but a nightmare if wet and windy. We actually had a disaster and our tent broke after day 2!.
Staff are great, you have to pay for the pool use.
There is a walk down cliff to west bay through a cattle field which is very picturesque.

Some friends recommended this site and took us on our first camping experience. Since then we have been again in May and June and have booked again for our last trip of the summer in September. We love the site. We have always been in what they call Area 2 as we have EHU and always book early. The pitches are big and we have plenty of room for our Seattle 8 and car with loads of space for chairs etc. There are two shower/toilet blocks and they are regularly cleaned. There are never any problems with cleanliness and we haven’t had to queue to use the showers.
The site is very quiet in the evening. There is also wi-fi but you do need to pay at reception for this.
The site is quite high up on the South West Coastal Path and I can see how it could get very windy, (as other reviewers have said) especially in Area 3 which is nearer to the Coast and more exposed. All I can say is that we have never had any issues although have always been there on sunny days. I think Area 2 is a bit more sheltered.
There is a lovely swimming pool on site which you do have to pay extra for but it’s worth it. Next to the pool is the bar which serves meals and you can takeaway on some of them. There’s also a kids playground in the beer garden and another in the tent area.
At the very top of the site there is a gate leading to the South West Coastal Path. You go left and there is a lovely walk down to West Bay which is well worth doing and right takes you to the beach at Eype. There is a path elsewhere on the site which leads to the village of Eype where there is a pub - not much to write home about but it’s okay and it’s nice walk.
All in all we love this site and recommend it.

Very impressive campsite! It does feel too much like a holiday park but it has excellent facilities to make it a pleasant and comfortable place to stay. Shower and toilet facilities are impressive with amazing hot showers. Staff at the bar and shop were very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere on site was good. Plenty of space to also get some peace with the stunning views of the sea. Highly recommended! Could be a bit cheaper but not bad considering the vast facilities.

Just came back from a first time visit to this campsite. Cant wait to go back. Lovely views from the pitch, plenty of room between the the tents, clean and warm toilet block and nice food in club house. Yes it was windy most of the time but what do you expect from camping 200 feet up on a cliff!. Take plenty of strong pegs and pin down your guy ropes well.

The site is one of our favourites and we have been going there now for 6 or 7 years. It is a very clean and well kept site. The toilet and shower blocks are very clean and roomy. It can be very windy and suggest to anyone who wants to put up an awning that they go to the lower pitches overlooking West Bay. The views are better from the top but in very windy weather you can loose your awning. The restaurant has great food and a good atmosphere. There are some wonderful places to visit. Beer Pecorama is great for the kids.

There's nothing much I can fault this site for. Beautiful surroundings with glorious views, well laid out spacious manicured pitches, good toilet and washing facilities, and a grand children's play area (if you need one) make Highland's End a fine place to stay.
I can't comment on the shop, the pool or the bar because I didn't visit any of them, but they're there.
The beach at Eype Mouth is a 10 minute walk away, and the fishing from the shore can be great! One evening, in just a couple of hours, I caught over 30 mackerel with a string of feathers. Strangely, my mate Dave caught nothing at all just a few yards from me - probably because he spent most of his time asleep in the evening sunshine!
But beware as has already been mentioned, please do not underestimate the potential for extremely high winds. They can be devastating. On our fourth morning there we awoke to gale force winds, and driving rain. It was very difficult to stand still in the teeth of the relentless blast, and needless to say the tents took a real battering.
Many on the site were damaged, including ours and that of our friends, and one or two had been abandoned during the night. We spent several hours on 'tent patrol' that morning constantly knocking back in loose pegs and guy ropes, and hanging on to rapidly warping poles. Eventually, soaked to the skin and frozen, we gave up, hurled everything into the back of our vehicles and fled for sunny Lancashire despite having three more nights paid for. You don't get refunds.
We stopped for breakfast down the road in Bridport and were surprised (and slightly disgruntled) at how gentle the drizzly breeze was in the valley. It's that cliff top location, beautiful but treacherous!

Just visited highlands end after recommendation. It was our 1st first time touring again after a 30 year break, can't understand why we left it so long! - what a laugh we had
Fantastic park, lovely views, great walks with the dogs, saw sheep giving birth to the lambs.
Friendly staff, grass area's kept very neat and tidy, no litter around nice shop, great bar with very good food, would recommend. Shower block clean and tidy, though the showers need to run longer before you have to press the button again, Play area very good, swimming pool expensive £7.10 for 2 adults and a child, and the water was very cold - also I didn't like the fact that one member of the leisure staff was cleaning the mats out of the changing pool side with very strong smelling chemicals (I know they need to be cleaned but you could do it when no one is around)
Very handy for morrisons and the wine factory,
Eype beach nice to walk along,
Would not recommend the New Inn Eype
Would definitely go again
(in 5 nights we only experienced the wind for half of a night)

Very helpful on arrival. Good level clean and tidy pitch. We had electric hook up.
Great facilities and a friendly family atmosphere. Being right on the cliff top there was nearly daily drama with coast guard helicopter rescue to be seen. Lots of paragliders too.
If you pitch here you need plenty of decent pegs. The wind is indescribable and many tents were abandoned in pieces and their owners went home without them! Having said that the views are astounding the beach although shale is fantastic and the water warm and clear. You are left to your own devices for your stay and ample supplies are available at the local shop.
We will be returning! Oh. There are lots of rabbits.

Just got back from Highlands End - what a lovely site! We used the pool and gym and they were both great. Yes there is an extra charge but it is well worth the money.
The views are beautiful but take some BIG wooden blocks as some of the pitches with the great views slope badly.
The loos and showers were superb - always spotlessly clean. The bar was pleasant and the food was pretty good too (we only ate there once). The maintenance staff also did a great job with the grounds.
Not too impressed with Bridport but did have a nice walk down to West Bay with the dog. And yes the fish and chips from the kiosk is wonderful!
Really loved the site but not enough in the area to make us go back again.

It had been a long day and we were looking to find somewhere to pitch up for the night with a lovely view. Highland's End was the choice and it didn't disappoint. It was cheaper than I expected so soon after the August Bank Holiday, we paid £13.75 for our campervan (no electric) and we more or less had the area we were in to ourselves - at the far end with a fantastic view of the stunning Jurassic Coast. Sadly it got dark all too quickly, but an early night was on the cards anyway as we were so tired.
The following morning dawned bright and sunny; pulling back the curtain we were treated to a fantastic sight as the sun rose over the bay. After breakfast I set off to walk down to Eype Village; it is all downhill there so bear in mind you will have a climb to get back. Also don't make the mistake I made and pass the sign directing people to the right to follow the path; I missed it and ended up trying to climb down the bank and ended up on my backside. Nevertheless the coastal path is a lovely walk.
We are definitely planning to go back; the loo and shower facilities looked very good and there was a restaurant, shop and a gym although I did not see these. Two things I would advise you to be aware of however. First, if you have a tent make sure it is sturdy and can stand the wind which can be very strong. Second, there are quite a few rabbits around and sadly my husband saw that one of them was afflicted with myxamatosis; he reported it to the management who responded to us to say they are aware and will humanely kill affected rabbits, but I would ask if you see them to make sure you report it so there is a better chance of putting the poor creatures out of their suffering. Apart from this, a great site and we are definitely going back and it is always nice to see rabbits - hopefully healthy ones!
