 Just got back from this site, and I have to say it was the best we have ever been to.
The toilet/shower block were almost brand new (there are some older ones but these are very nice and clean) the water was always hot in the showers.
The shop on site that some people have said had basic goods and was expensive, I can't say I found this, yes it was slightly dearer than tesco etc, but this is a camp site shop.
The entertainment was a bit "old" sort of a reminder of holiday clubs in the 70's, but what a refreshing change to the big named camps, John Lee the owner was brilliant with the kids and adults and kept a really friendly atmosphere in the club house.
We had the worst weather you could have, but you have to expect that in this country, but the site is well drained and when it did stop raining(for about an hour) the ground did dry out quite quickly.
All in all a nice friendly run site, a bit basic but made up but the fantastic staff and owner.

 We stayed at this campsite at the beginning of June and even though we only 30 miles away from it we felt like we were definitely far away.chilled and relaxed. My 11 year old twins enjoyed the pool, the riding, the evening entertainment and the river running into the sea. This place is great value for money and we also didnt feel the need to leave the site. I can only add how spotlessly clean all the shower and toilet facilities were and how friendly the staff are. We are going back again and taking some friends too!

 Have just returned from this campsite and was horrified to read the reviews about it, we've just had 3 nights there and can honestly say the toilet blocks are fantastic, cleaned regularly. We did think the shop was quite expensive but fine for basic things like milk and bread there is a Morrisons in Bridport if you need a few things more. The clubhouse is excellent if you dont want to drive, and while we were there, there were people in the pool for ages so it must be heated. We will definitely return!

 This site is the best we have ever stayed on. Toilets passed the wife,s critical eye.  The staff were always welcoming and friendly.  The entertainment for the kids was hilarious.  This was the first time I didn't feel the need to leave the camp during the day.  Shop was well stocked and again the staff were very friendly.  all in all a very good place to stay, we will be going back.  Forgot to mention the swimming pool, it is heated and filled with salt water, very refreshing.

 We found the site clean and well maintained, the pitches on the whole were level as the camping area has been tiered.  The toilet facilities were good and clean most of the time.  The site has it's own shop which is well stocked but with a large Morrisons only a couple of miles away isn't an issue. 
 
The site has it's own beach but unfortunately this is pebbles, one of the few drawbacks we found.  We did find the pitches a little tight for room but then we do have a large tent and day tent.  If you are lucky there are a few larger pitches.
 
A good site and an ideal location as a base to explore the area.

Date of Visit: June 2007 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Visualize 8 reviews from this member

 We came for the weekend, other family members were here for the whitsun week we joined them at the tail end. We had been allocated a pitch but this was quite a way from where our family were so we asked if they had any thing nearby which they did and they allowed us to change. Flat, spacious piches, they do like the caravans pitched correctly but this is nothing unusual from other sites, the jockey wheel needs to be on the marker, we were left alone and no one came to check we were pitched correctly. The park is very large, there is a private shale beach which slopes, although its possible to take dogs on there and sea fish from. There is a lovely walk up the hill on to the cliff. Toilet facilities are great very clean and plenty of blocks, there are loads of water points you wont have to go far to fill up or get rid of your waste. Horse riding onsite for £10, Pony rides for £1, donkey rides £1, pony and cart rides, LAnd train called hissing syd, Donkey racing, childrens races, football training, There is an outside heated pool with inflatables and lifeguards, the owner John is always around taking in part in the entertainment including there very own bingo game called Ship Ahoy. The bar is quite expensive for drinks but you get that with any site, takeway and shop expensive but its a commercial site, We will def be going back we had a fab time and didnt want to come home. The kids had a great time loads for them to do on site and loads in the surrounding area of Bridport, West Bay, Weymouth, Lyme Regis Seaton etc.

 When we arrived we were given no help as to where our pitch was very unfriendly overall. It was very busy but the campers near us were great. My wife wouldn't go to the toilets or shower block's at night as they ere surrounded by gang's of teen hoodies. At night the noise was something else from drunk teenagers to parents effing and blinding to the very small hours security didn't want to know. It wasn't cheap but we left early.

Reviewer: Labyrinth 2 reviews from this member

 We were here last August Bank holiday weekend. It was a sorely disappointing experience. We are regular campers and were surprised by the poor quality of the showers and their lack of cleanliness. There was plenty of hot water but also plenty of black mould in the shower cubicles. The loos were cleaned infrequently given the huge numbers using them. The site was extremely noisy with traffic and returners from the clubhouse. The beach was littered with bottles, cans and fast food wrappers. The shop was expensive even by campsite standards and overly basic, masses of sliced white bread and coke.

 When we first arrived the park was absolutely packed, as it was the week before the kids were due back at school and a bank holiday Monday! Our friends had booked our pitch for us, so when we arrived we pitched up in our plot while our friends were out. Anyway the lady who comes round to check each plot came over to say that we hadn't pitched correctly. She was quite rude. She said our jockey wheel had to be on the marker and our car had to be on the right side of our caravan? Then she made comments on how our friends had pitched their caravans, saying they were too close together, and the wrong way round. We couldn't see what the problem was, our friends wouldn't mind if our caravan was 2cm over there pitch. Apparently this lady was quite rude to alot of people who had pitched near us. Anyway we didn't move our caravans, we told her we had paid alot of money (nearly £700 for 3 plots for 2 weeks) and we would reasonably park our caravans where we wanted. She said if we didn't move them she would fetch the manager. But the manager never came, and we never heard off them since. So don't be surprised if they get their measuring tape out, as they are strict on how you pitch!

Apart from this slight hiccup at the beginning of our holiday, you really couldn't pick any faults with the site. The new block of showers, toilets and laundrette was perfect- showers were clean, very spacious and hot water 24/7. The facilites here for the kids is great too. The site itself is very large, because its close to the sea it is quite windy so don't forget the hold them tents and awnings down properly, as we saw lots of awnings broken due to gale force winds! Would go back again!

 Some of the views posted conflict with our stay.
 
I thought the pitches were spacious (but we were not on the tent bit at the front of the site which did look crowded). I liked the fact that pitches are marked out and allocated at booking rather than turn up and try to squeeze in somewhere.
 
The toilets were very good. The shop was large and well stocked but incredibly expensive - example small gas canister for gas lamp was £5 as opposed to £3 locally (only small item but markup typical of most items). Food on site was also v. Expensive. You can take it or leave it. Brideport is about 2 miles away as is West Bay both had excellent take away food and stores at reasonable prices.
 
I thought bar prices were reasonable but kids entertainment was very poor so we only went once.
 
Site is well run and tidy. Location and surrounding countryside is superb. Beach is not appropriate for young children but the river formed an excellent lagoon that the children used for playing in.
 
Would visit again.
