 Nice looking site on arrival. After being told which pitch numbers we had, we proceeded up the steep hill into the camping area. Most pitches looked flat. The location was just above the beach and even West Bay is only a short walk away. The site was clean and grass areas looked after. The pitches are on a hillside with levelled ledges with plenty of room for a tent and car.

Our pitches had obviously not been checked after the previous guests departure (tent pegs still in the ground).

On visiting the Wash/Toilet block we found it was untidy, dirty with plenty of cobwebs and dead insects in the soap dispenser. Taps did not turn off properly and toilets were hard to flush. The block looked very tired. We stayed for 2 nights and in that time the floor and toilets were cleaned.

The Shower block looked new in comparison, only to our disappointment the lack of water pressure meant only one of us could shower at a time and even this was a weak spray (there are 3 cubicles!)

The site staff did not seem interested in our comments in regards to the showers. We had to speak to site again ref. Our pitch. Unfortunately for us the strong winds had broken poles and flattened our tents. We asked if there were any other pitches, again little help but we were allowed to move.

As each pitch cost £22 per night, I would have expected more from the facilities.

The beach is a short walk and a friendly Pub The New Inn, up the road was very nice.

 We have stayed here on several occasions but usually in a tent. It is a small campsite. The toilet block is small but very clean. There is a small shop and cafeteria selling nice snacks. You can get fish and chips on certain nights. The views are spectacular, I imagine all campers have a sea view. The beach is a stones throw away. Right on the Jurassic path/coast. Great to explore. The local pub is a short walk, ok for children. It was peaceful at night.

 Just back from a lovely weekend in our small camper at Eype House. Great level pitch with sea views. Facilities were fine although best to avoid 'peak' times for showers and washing facilities when site is full. Shop was well enough stocked for basics you always leave behind (like washing up sponges and ibuprofen!). Didn't walk as far as the village pub but found the local hotel bar was welcoming and their garden lovely - didn't eat there but menu looked good.

As right on the coast path it would be rude not to walk into West Bay which was a nice bustling spot for a pint before retracing steps back over the cliff to the site. Lots of dogs but pitches are spaced well enough from each other to stop them being a nuisance. We will definitely go back.

 Another visit, after being forced to leave in high winds last year. Booked a pitch on the right hand side away from cliff. Wonderful, with breathtaking scenery.

There is no walk along the beach to West Bay any more. A mud slide has blocked the way. So its over the top.

Tried fishing for the first time on the beach. There is a lot of weed/boulders out there and I caught nothing but came home with a lot less tackle than I started out with. (try West Bexington. )

First time visitors to this site have to pinch themselves as to its beauty. Its basic, but friendly. A tad expensive maybe, but the hot water is plentiful and the showers free.

I'll be back - maybe even this year again.

 What fab weather to start the summer season, first stop West Bay, so found Eype House on walk so booked in the same evening.

Warning, very tight lane down to site for our 6meter home, wouldn't go bigger.

A fairly basic site no electric hookup but perfectly adequate showers toilets and laundry room.

Could be difficult if wet ground also avoid cliff edge pitches in a tent if windy weather reported, one family moved to hedge side due to wind. Nicely laid out pitches tiered to the top, bit of a walk down hill to toilet block but oh so worth the fantastic views and sense of wellbeing.

Pub and Hotel nearby both OK but not too difficult walk into West Bay over the hill or as we did along the beach which is only a few steps from the site.

Little shop on site for some basics and a lovely setting for a peaceful cuppa break.

West Bay offers much in the way of pubs, food, beach and the river with boat hire.

For the fit walkers you can walk across to Burton Bradstock, lovely beach or the other way towards Seatown and Golden Cap.

 Pitch 14 - stunning views - definitely one of our favourite pitches ever!

Facilities were basic and there weren't many showers considering how many people were on the campsite. That being said we never had to queue at normal showering time so perhaps people don't wash here?!

Thought the prices were expensive for the level of campsite. The view is definitely worth something but a new shower block wouldn't be wasted here.

When it rained (1 months worth in 9 hours) driving on the site was interesting in our little car.

The campsite owners should really check the pitches as we had ours invaded by other campers and reception was closed so there was nothing we could do about it. Perhaps if you were taken to the pitch on arrival this might help. We ended up having to leave our car away from our tent.

Overall: beautiful, expensive for what it is, basic facilities, lack of management.

 Just got back from another trip to Eype. This time with a cautionary tale, wind ! If camping at this beautiful campsite and wind is forecast, go for a pitch on the right hand side, ie away from the cliff. My beautiful Bell tent was shredded on Saturday night, and me and three tents around me all went home around 0100. When it is windy at Eype it is very windy.

When I walked across from my pitch on the cliff top to the other side of the site the wind was almost non existent. This is still my favourite site of all, and I want to go back, but I shall be a bit more cautious.

 Spent 3 nights at Eype on bank holiday week. It was lovely. The views are spectacular and at night you can hear the waves lapping on the beach. We were very lucky, the weather was good and there wasn't any wind.

The facilities were adequate, toilets and showers clean (some with a great view!) wash area ok and a laundry room complete with washing line. The water was piping hot.

Pub within walking distance but owner a little grumpy, we preferred to eat at the Hotel which is a bit nearer and with friendlier staff! This is a great location for coastal walks and if you can manage the four steep hills, the walk to Burton Bradstock is beautiful with a fantastic fish restaurant on the beach as a reward when you get there!

 We have just spent a very pleasant night at Eype. We were on pitch 20 overlooking the sea.Wow. Luckily the weather was nice with no wind, I wouldn't like to stay there in windy or stormy conditions! We took a short walk down to the beach and had a bbq like other families and there were plenty of people sea fishing for mackerel. The facilities are basic but ok and served their purpose. The staff were friendly and since we arrived after the shop was shut there was a notice on the door that gave us our pitch number. We would definitely stay there again and our children loved it.

 After reading the reviews we were worried! When we arrived (before 5 pm) the system worked well and we were allocated out plots. If you arrive late you have to go and look at the messages at reception. Some plots were better than others, some quite small, others spacious, we were lucky probably because we booked in February. We had two plots one above another for a family holiday.

The toilets were perfectly adequate, the site was full but the queues never materialises so long as you chose your time wisely, have queued longer at posher sites.

The shop was more of a beach shop, but basic food needs were there, need to go to Morrisons for anything else.

The view was stunning. Some complained that it was expensive, but with their full booking for July and August, why should they reduce it?

The hill was interesting but got you fit. Could be tricky in the wet I should think.

Only thing I couldn't find was a pit to empty the waste tank (washing up water) so had to fit an extension to my drain tap.
