 Just returned from this site,and to be honest,I cant think of a bad word to say about it.From arrival on the drive,there were friendly helpful staff directing you to reception. Booking in was easy,you are provided with a plan of the site,shown where your pitch is on the plan,provided with the code for the barrier,and on the plan there was plenty of local info, regarding supermarkets, takeaways,etc. And also the pub menu! ( Very good food to be had in there).
Considering the size of the site,it didn't feel like a big site,with each field being subdivided. The toilet block was always kept clean,and my wife only had to queue once for about 5 minutes for a shower,myself and my son never had to queue.There were also several family shower rooms which were very useful.
The shop was well stocked with equipment and also groceries,plus toys/sweets for the kids. The children also loved playing in the playground,which was close to our pitch,and quite handy while we were preparing meals. All the staff were friendly and very helpful.
The bus came onto site to take you into Weymouth. Finally,on saturday and sunday mornings,in the bar area,they served bacon or sausage butties for £2 each,which when you are decamping is a brilliant idea if you fancy a decent breakfast without cooking it yourself.

Excellent site with great staff and nice facilities. Our pitch was in the Lower field and had a wonderful view of the water. We will be visiting again as Weymouth beach was lovely (although busy). Had some great meals at the Turk's Head and the Smugglers Inn (less then £30 for 2 adult meals, 2 kids meals, and a round of drinks for all).
My only niggles:
1) Lots and lots of dogs and saw owners letting their dogs do their business on the edge of other people pitches - now they were 'cleaning it up' - but my kids don't like dogs and I'm not keen on stepping in even 'cleaned up bits'.
2) Like other people mentioned - the playground was ruled by older kids.But I did see one of the owners giving a group of children a good 'talking' to.
3) If you are on the edge of the Lower Field - you are a serious trek to the toilet (at least with a 3-year old in tow)
Great site - wonderful staff. Highly recommended!

Just got back from a 4 day stay at eastfleet and I would highly recommend it
Stayed in the top edge of the lower field as the stable field can only be booked for complete weeks. Pitches are well kept and level although terraced down a slope. Shop is well stocked for a camp shop, the emphasis being on camping equipment. The old barn pub is pleasant enough, the service is good and the food is ok, just good old pub grub. Staff are always pleasant and helpful Toilet blocks are large and spotless (didn't need to use the showers)
Not having the car had to use the site bus this was ok and drivers always helpful £2 return bein much better than the £7.50 taxi one way.
Site was very quiet at night which was nice and the views and sunsets were great.
If there is a down side I think it would be better to have another amenity block instead of just the two large ones just to reduce walking distances.
The site is very and I mean very dog friendly and I don't relly agree with people eating in the pub with the dogs tied to the table leg
Oh and if some people as in previous reviewers want Michelin star food at give away prices maybe they should try elsewhere
Overall a very nice site would definitely go again but next time may take the dog

We have just returned after a 2 week break from East Fleet Farm.
It was our first trip to this site in our Monty 6.Staying in the lower field ( with EHU)i was glad of our sturdy tent, although the sun was out, being so close to the coast made things windy. Some smaller tents suffered with little mercy for poles and nylon.
Ignoring the wind this site has it all.
*Very friendly staff in a well stocked shop.
*Amazingly clean pitches, men/women walking around like wombles looking for rubbish.
*Grass cut daily and rubbish bins cleared twice a day.
Given the amount of people staying at the place the toilet and shower block was the cleanest ever seen.
Along with the shop the site has it own bar selling food in the evening. We drank but never had the chance to sample the food.
Local bus collects you from park to drop you off in Weymouth very handy given the high parking costs in the Weymouth.
We would consider returning but please think of this.
The play area designed for kids became over run with 13/14 yr kids, causing problems for little ones to play. We found ourself spending more and more time watching over our children. Maybe another play would improve things.
I own a dog but cant quite understand why people take them on holiday the fail to clear up the dog mess after them. Dog mess was around the park and worst of all in the 'Childrens kite and ball field'.

We have just come back from a week at east fleet. The people in reception were very nice. Our pitch was in lower field, right opposite the lagoon,which was lovely to look at and nice for walks along. The only down side of being in lower field were the nearest toilet block is in upper field, which feels a bit of a trek in the middle of the night! our kids really liked the play area.
The on site shop was very well stocked and most things were not overly priced. There`s a little man who drives round the site on a golf cart making sure the bins are not over flowing and everything is ok.
The toilet and showers were always clean and tidy. Just before arriving our pitch was mowed by an orange tractor contraption which our 3 year old thought was brilliant ,On the last night had a take away (ocean city ) which delivered to the site reception and was lushhhh,all in all a good time was had by all !

Just spent a lovely week at East Fleet, great facilities and grand size pitches. We were greeted by really friendly and welcoming staff on arrival and personally accompanied to our pitch which I must say was large and in a great position within the Stable field. The showers were always hot and clean although expect a queue (which is to be expected this time of year) the pub was good and although we only ate there once the food was ok typical burger and chips style pub grub.
The park was great for kids although VERY busy with bigger kids ruling the roost (with no parents to supervise in sight!) which made it a little more daunting for our little ones. The shop was well stocked with both foods and camping gear. We would definitely stay here again as the views were perfect out onto Chesil beach and the lagoon(not for swimming) and the coastal path was pretty (be aware though that the path to Weymouth is about 6 miles + and so for little ones can be a little tiring and doesnt lead direct into Weymouth centre! There is a bus from the site though £2 return for adults and free for kids, they go into Weymouth in the mornings and return in the afternoon last one being 5pm from the sea front. There is a bus from the top of the lane too.
All in all a lovely site, that is definitely worth a visit to. Hope you enjoy it too!

We arrived eventually after getting lost in Weymouth I rang east fleet and a very nice lady gave us directions and said any more probs finding them don't hesitate to ring, when we arrived the girls on reception were very nice, friendly and polite gave us clear pitching instructions to follow but when we got to our pitch the stones where not very visible and the tents near us had pitched there car over our boundaries so we pitched slightly different wasn't too much of a problem as we were right on the end of a gentle slope hill with hedging along the back for cover.
The amount of information on the arrival sheet is excellent and a very good idea with precise directions to different places. The pub was very nice food excellent (although cost us 49.00 for 2 adults and 2 kids with drinks) not to bad and very quick service everything on the menu is available to take away also.
The shop has excellent amount of accessories if you forget something or need anything, has a small amount of very well priced food and drink, has ice block freezing facilities by reception.
Shower block on lower field is kept very clean and spotless every time we used it despite the site being completely full has undercover dishwashing sinks. Park was good for older children. This is truly a little gem of a park and enjoyed our holiday things that could improve the site even more are to:
1, add a baby mat in each of the family shower rooms as the floor is soaking and hard. And the changing unit in the main ladies block is right by the hand drier and it made my little one scream when I was changing her.
2, add another park / play facility for under 8 as the park was not suitable for either of my children really (5yr old with special needs and a 15mth old).
3, Could add another toilet block at the other end of lower field and add a campers kitchen with microwaves and fridges etc for people who are in tents.
These are only things that we think would make this an even better site but would highly recommend this site. We will return again and search for a sandy beach which we struggled to find this time around. This site is a run very well and efficiently and the owners do a brilliant job

We spent two weeks at this site. The staff were great right from the very welcoming receptionist to the young people who work in the shop. The pitch we had was very generous with a hard-standing and electric hook up. Although we had no need for the playground it looked very well equiped. There is a pub on the site which was open to the public and although the meals were quite expensive the generous portions made them good value. The shower block on the field that we were on could have been a bit more modern. The cubicles were a bit tight although there were two a bit larger than the rest and there were at least two family shower rooms. There was no temperature control on the showers which would have been better as the time we were there the weather was hot and a cooler shower would have been nice. Sometimes the water ran cold for a few seconds. East Fleet Farm is one of the best sites we have ever stayed at and it is on our list of places to revisit, we paid approx. £250 for the two weeks and it was worth every penny once you negotiate the necessary speed bumps in the lane.

Arrived early evening and given lots of useful information by the friendly staff. After being directed to my pitch, a staff member came along in their buggy to show me how to pitch correctly but it turned out that people a few pitches up had gone over their boundary.
As they explained, if people don't stick to their designated area, it puts the whole line out, so I was shown a different pitch. However, although the views were lovely, it was very windy and I didn't rate my chances of getting the tent up by myself!
A quick call through to reception and I was given a pitch a few spaces down from the original one and it was perfect. Sheltered from the wind by an established hedge but right next to the sea. When I booked, I asked to be close to the dog walks and sure enough, the walks were at either end of my row.
The shower and toilet facilities were good, although it's a shame that other campers leaves a mess behind but this isn't the owners fault. Having said that, I never had to queue and there was plenty of hot water. Likewise with the washing up areas.
There is a bar there but I didn't use it, although it was nice to know I could take the dogs and get food or a drink if I wanted to.
The on-site shop is very well stocked and very reasonably priced. For example, I'd left my shower stuff in the cubicle by mistake and went to the shop to buy new, expecting to pay over the odds but was very pleasantly surprised to find shower gel, shampoo etc for just over £1 each! Plenty of fresh food, milk etc and camping gear that was also competively priced.
The site has plenty of rubbish points, including recylcing bins. Drinking water taps are dotted around too, so you're never far from one.
As a single adult with 2 dogs, I was very happy with the pitch in the Lower Field I was given - away from the kids play area and nice and peaceful.
All in all, a great site, tucked away by the sea but not far from supermarkets, petrol stations etc. We went to Bowleaze Cove at the end of Weymouth as dogs are allowed on the beach. Also Abbotsbury Sub-Tropical Gardens is near, again dogs allowed there.
A thoroughly enjoyable weekend and would definitely recommend this site, especially to dog owners.

Good handling by staff on arrival.
Pitches are a good size, we fitted a twin axle van, 2 cars and an awning on our pitch with no problems.
Access road to site is long and narrow with lots of speed bumps.
We had lots of rain during our stay but the ground drains very well.
Drinking water taps on each elec bollard.
Lovely walks / dog walks by the coast, so peaceful, it's not often that the only sounds you can hear are the wind and the sea.
Site varied between apx 50 - 90% occupancy during our stay, but always seemed spacious with relaxed atmosphere.
Our two kids age 8 & 9 loved the play area.
Toilet block on Stable Field is fab, even better than CC toilet blocks.
Lovely safe sandy beach at Weymouth. Dogs allowed on the Pavilion end of the beach.
Visited Lyme Regis which was lovely, but parking is scarce at this time of year.
Monkey World about 40 minutes away.
