 A small group of us went to osmington mills for 4 nights. It was a very nice site and facilities were excellent. I have read some of the other reviews and don't think that they went to the same place. I found the food in the club house excellent, and the site staff exceedingly friendly. Myself and my family look forward to returning there in the upcoming weeks.

Well first time me and my partner have been away and actually seen the sun. This was our second time back to this site and certainly won't be our last. We arrived before the crowds and got a lovely spot at top of the field, it was on slop but watching your cup slide down the table adds a bit of fun to the holiday. View from up there is brilliant and was able to watch sunset and an amazing moon over the sea. Top toilet blocks are very good and all have electric points which is good for someone who likes to get back to nature but still has their hair looking half decent. Went to campsite club for first time and enjoyed watching world cup although it was disrupted by the evening youngsters singing entertainment. Campsite is a brilliant base for exploring rest of dorset and even if you are feeling lazy you can quite easily stay at campsite and not get bored due to spectacular views.

Visited here for four nights at beginning of school holidays. Arrived on Wednesday and although the site was quite full had a slight problem finding somewhere to pitch, the reason being it is on a hill and not all of it is flat. Plenty of the site is flat though. Got very busy over the weekend, found it very amusing to try and guess where people would pitch next. Site operates a pitch where you like policy . Although no one seemed to be that close to neighbors.
Two sets of toilets / showers, top set seem nicer, as they have more space in the showers to change after and also somewhere to place clothes, while showering.
Staff friendly and helpful during our stay. One point to make is that during high season if you are paying balance by card, then you need to go the main shop to pay, only cash accepted at the camp shop.
Pool very nice, esp as we had hot weather. Lifeguard friendly and not afraid to throw trouble makers out, which was reassuring.
Pub/club again no problems although we did have trouble finding a seat on the one night it rained! Didn't try their food so can't comment.
Took a stroll to the beach, only access we found was down a very steep path behind the Smugglers Inn( a very nice pub). Rocky beach but loads of rock pool to explore.
We ( 2 adults & 4 kids 7,10,10 &13) had a lovely time and defiantly plan to return

Just returned from this campsite after spending 5 nights here. Absolutely stunning views out to sea, great site, on a slope but great to pitch a tent, they also allow motor homes. There are three fields to pitch in the better one being the middle field, but we pitched in the lower field, away from the toilet blocks but closer to the clubhouse and shop and swimming pool.
The fields are trimmed and tidy, but I found it very hard to bang in the pegs! also on a bit of a slope which was annoying when you put your tea down and it slides off the table! there are flat bits too! (the site was busy so had limited choice of spaces).
The site is very spread out, giving you plenty of room, the didn't overcrowd the place and were turning people away even though they could have crammed in loads more.
There are two toilet and shower blocks, one of them nice modern and very clean, the other old and smelly, but still OK! both having nice hot water, and even when the site was full, not really a queue.
There are two shops, one at the top of the site, and one at the bottom, both selling pretty much the same things, well stocked with essentials, including camping gaz (904, 907 etc) and most camping essentials, they sell cigarettes papers sweets toys etc, but not alcohol.
The swimming pool was great, its outdoor, but a nice size, not too big not too small, heated and clean, with guard, and toddlers paddling pool, the main pool is 8ft deep at the deep end, brilliant for the kids if you don't want to go to the beach. There is also a bar / club / pub style place! low key entertainment, but its fairly good, nothing like pontins, but the kids loved it very much. Reasonable drinks prices, with a good selection, the food was overpriced and not very appealing, we chose to eat at the smugglers inn pub, just down the road, they do nice food reasonably priced with a small children's menu. The pub has beautiful settings with views out to sea from the car park and a children's secure playground.
Beach wise, the only beach that was good for us was Weymouth, because the other beaches near Osmington had shingle, and a steep drop to get to them! Weymouth was lovely, but we found parking was a problem so get there early. Other places around are Portland, Swanage, oh and the monkey world park is a must for adults and kids, we were amazed by these beautiful animals, a fantastic day out, highly recommended.
So there you have it, I went camping to this park with 4 children, aged 10 3 and 2. They loved it, I loved, and will definitely be going back! Hope my review helps you choose, sorry for babbling on! yeah definitely 10/10.

Looking for a base to visit Monkey World & Durdle Door. Last minute arrival as planned site was full. Very disorganised - poor signage when we arrived and had to go wandering around to pay. £16 a night for a 2 person sloping pitch with no power seems a wee bit on the expensive side compared to other sites around. The ground was very stony and we struggled to get pegs in without bending them all. The pitch where you want may be great when its not so busy but caused confusion and many people seemed to taking the mick on how much space they were taking up. Seems to be very popular with the young / 1st holiday away from home brigade who were allowed to party into the small hours.
TV in bar that seemed to be more for the staff than guests, later on bar became over run with the regulars that have statics on the other side so we left and had an early night. Shop didn't open until 8:30am but with fair prices and a good range.
Shower blocks busy, well lit but could do with extra cleaning during a busy weekend.
Beach not very suitable for families, Would recommend stopping off at the smugglers on the way back up - food was a long wait but worth it. - Seems to be a very relaxed camp all round.
Got us out of a hole but wouldn't rush back.

I have just returned from a weeks stay. It was a good site and I was told that the toilet block on the top field had been newly built this year. One of the reasons I chose to stay here was the fishing lake on site. It was a little disapointing as you have to carry your gear down quite a long hill as there is no access for cars. The lake doesn't have very many 'swims' and was busy most of the time I was there. It is also has a large amount of weeds / hazards so make sure you have heavy line on your rod. Saying that there were some nice carp caught up to 20lbs, but a few fishermen had lines broke due to the weeds.
We camped on the top field which was quieter than the bottom field, but the bottom field did seem to catch the sun a bit later into the evening than the top. When we booked we were told that we would have to stay for a minimum of seven nights, when we arrived we found that people were arriving and staying for one night except for the weekend when it was a minimum of two! I would go back as the site has lovely views out to sea. The club house was more like a 'pub' than a club which suited us, but if your looking for full on entertainment you'd probably be better off at the Haven site down the road at Weymouth.

This was our first camping trip as a family (children aged 1.5 and 3.5). As we are definitely "fair weather" campers we waited until Thursday to book. The very friendly lady on the phone told us that there was no need to book and we took a chance, she did say to try and arrive as early as possible.
We arrived at 1:30pm on the Friday and there were loads of spots to choose from. Just drive in and pick a spot. The nice gentleman at the shop, informed us the top field was the quieter "family" end (slightly sloping) and the lower field was the more boisterous "younger" end. I popped to the loo I (as you do!) and was really impressed by the well kept, modern, clean facilities with powerpoints for hairdryers etc. I've stayed in Travel Lodges with less swish facilities, and all for £18 per night. We noticed at 7pm an influx of cars and tents, and the top field began to get busy.
On Saturday morning the camp looked chaotic but the toilets and washing-up facilities were more than adequate and I only had to queue for a few minutes for a shower.We did notice a sign saying "SITE FULL" and cars were being turned away instead of maximising their revenue.
The shops were well stocked, (ice pack exchange for 20p), a swimming pool, onsite bar, restaurant (with a takeaway service), Laundry Room and plenty of water points and bins. Nice looking pub at the end of the lane and access to the beach.
All in all a very succesful first trip and we would most definitely go again and recommend this to our friends.

Brilliant. We have been camping for 19 years and stayed at many sites, loved this one. Site on a bit of a slope but not a problem for tents. Fab views of sea and coast.
New shower, toilet and covered dishwashing block at top of site, very modern and kept clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. On site shop for basic needs, further site on main holiday site next door. Use of heated outdoor pool and grounds - spotless.
Camp field near top where we camped quiet despite being almost full for bank hol weekend. Didn't use the entertainment club as we don't camp for that but seemed very good.
Playground old and basic but our three children - 12, 10 and 4 loved it. Smugglers Inn pub at bottom of lane is an added bonus, quaint and well worth a visit either for a drink or a meal - great food.

We arrived on monday morning and had quite a good choice of pitch, so no need to book. Although it did start to get busy on friday afternoon/evening ready for the weekend rush. We camped on the middle field near to newest toilet block. These were very clean, but there were only four showers, which got very busy, especially at the weekend. The older toilets on the top field were also clean, but still only three showers!
Open air pool was good, but the toilets weren't brilliant there. Club was ok, but the childerns entertainment was pretty much non-existant! The 'Smugglers Inn' was very pretty and had childs play area. And great views of the bay from close by. Two on site shops seemed to sell every thing you could need. All in all, a very clean, well kept site, but more showers and kids stuff required.

Reasonable site , not fantastic
It was a big campsite with most of the site being slightly slanted, as it was peak season it was £18 a pitch, a bit expensive if you ask me.
Wash rooms were in an awful state if you did not go after they had just cleaned.
The beach is not that accesible, & quite far away actualy.
but we were able to have a BBQ till quite late at night & they did not seem to mind at all.
Great view of the sea though.
