 Had a long weekend here, excellent pitches, you are given lots of room compared to some sites.
The staff are helpful and friendly at all times.
Clean site and the showers , washing facilities are okay.
There is a bus to Weymouth but it only comes in the site at 10am, but if you don't mind a long uphill walk up the lane, there are regular buses on the main road. Taxis are around £6, well worth it for the journey home.
Weymouth has lots to do, beaches and amusements for the kids. Lovely walking aroung the harbour and Bennetts Chip shop is fantastic.
That was all on the plus side, on the down side, the small bar/ restaurant on site didn't suit us as dogs are allowed in and there must have been 6 large dogs there, OK if you love them! It had been raining but it smelt of damp dogs and chips, we stayed for 10 mins then got a taxi into Weymouth for some food.
All in all, a good campsite for a short break, not for children for a week as it doesnt have a pool

We have just returned from a long weekend at east fleet farm, it is one of the best sites I have been to.
You arrive and you are greeted by friendly, cheerful and helpful staff. You are given a handy leaflet which contains loads of GOOD information, like a park map, menu, and how to get to the local supermarkets.
You are given your pitch number and clear directions on where and how to pitch, although some people must forget this as they drive the one minuet to the pitch!
The shop is fantastic and stocks pretty much everything that you could ever need. Prices are competative with local supermarkets.
Ice block freezing is free, and gas of all types is available.
The pitch was a on a bit of a slope but hardly noticable when you are comfy.
The park contains loads of activities for the children and only has one entrance. The park can be seen from the pub. We never ate at the pub, however other campers reported that it was ok and 'pub grub'.
The staff were always ready to help and had good local knowledge. In reception there is a folder that contains a lot of information on things to do in the area.
You are not allowed on the beach here as it is taidal, however you can walk along the coast which was fantastic.
Weymouth is a short drive but parking is quite expensive. There is a bus that comes onto camp Monday - Saturday and is £2 for adults and £1 for children. The only problem is you are restricted to timings.
We visited Nothe Fort which we found to be very good value for money.
Pot washing facilities were good and the showers and toilets were always clean. There are lots of toilets, wash basins and showers. There is also family showers which contain a shower, toilet and basin.
If you wish to stay a little later, as long as they are not booked up this is fine and free of charge. They do however ask for a donation for one of their charities.
We will be visiting again. This is one of my favorite sites.
5 stars. *****

Just spent a week at this site.
Camped on Stable field. Excellent well thought out new facilities block. Unisex family size shower rooms with loo and sink.
The showers, loos and dish washing facilities were heated so no late night chill when dish washing duties!
Good size pitch with electrics and water close by.
Well informed staff and there seemed to be a 'senior' member of staff there at all times.
Very dog friendly.
Free poop a scoops and lots of receptacles.
Lovely circuit of coastal walks well marked.
No children with us on this visit but play area well stocked and well used.
Huge range of caravan/camping accessories available.
Smaller range of food stuffs but both Asda and Tesco Express so close to visit daily if necessary.
Large laundry room (inspected but not used this time)
Close to numerous attractions.
We would use again although not in high season as I suspect it is popular.
Good offers for mid season (book 7 nights and pay for 5)

We have visited this site many times and it just gets better. The new toilet and shower blocks in Stable Field are excellent and free.
The pitches are large and private, mostly level.
The shop now having been redesigned is very good offering a wide selection of goods.
The restaurant is very good although some dishes are quite expensive and the portions are adequate.
It is about 2 miles from Weymouth on the Chickerill Rd and is well served for fuel stations, a post office and several take away food outlets.
There is a Children's Play Area that could do with larger activities for the older children as it is focussed towards 3-11 year olds.
It has lovely views over The Lagoon, breathtaking at sunset.
My one criticism is the approach lane, it is single track and about 1 mile long.This is very frustrating when arriving and departing.
All in all this is a very nice site which is close enough to the town to be local but is far enough away to be relaxing.

We stayed at this site for 3 nights, we stayed in the stable field what a treat! Pitches are very generous with our own electric hook up and running water. The shop had everything you need and more. We used the restaurant, the portions were very generous and food enjoyable.
Shower space is generous, a mini bathroom.
Lots of hot water.
All staff extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
Would recommend this site and will definitely visit again.

Just returned from a week at East Fleet Farm, it was great.
Couldn't fault the site. We stayed on 'stable field' and felt this was the best field. The toilet block / showers (great family size rooms) and washing up facilities were immaculate.
The onsite shop sold everything you could think of and more.
The pub onsite was was reasonable priced and food was nice.
The staff were very friendly and would help with anything.
A short drive away from town, shops, local attractions etc
If you are taking the tv be aware that the area has recently gone digital as we wondered why we couldn't get a picture!
Would definitely return, as one of the best sites ever visited.

Excellent communication, they send you out an invoice stating the deposit you have paid and how much is left to pay. Give you a fact sheet when you arrive with a map, local things to do, info on supermarkets and take aways, coastal dog walks etc.
They let us choose where we wanted to pitch up, initially asked and booked the lower field but after reading reports on here thought it may be a little exposed, so opted for Stable field.
Initially booked for 11 nights, but stayed for 10 (due to weather and colds) and this has to be the best campsite we have stayed at! Stayed in the Stable Field, fantastic facilities, as others have previously said, clean, fresh, has shower rooms with shower, toilet and sink in one unit (completed with underfloor heating), there are several of these and were always clean. Covered pot washing.
Good size of pitches, friendly staff. Bar takes dogs (we took our 3 shih tzu's in with us), we ate there 3 nights, food is of a very good quality, pay for what you get basically, it's slightly more than you would pay in a pub, by a pound or two, but is far superior and basically worth it.
Felt secure here, it's close to Weymouth and has the best children's play area of any campsite we have been to so far, and we don't have kids but were impressed!
Is ideal location for Weymouth and the surrounding areas, to the East Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are minutes away by car, only 35 mins to Monkey World, fantastic, must Visit. Beautiful coves nearby such as Lyme Regis to the west. Historic town of Dorchester is nearby with finest example of a preserved Roman Villa, and a collection of museums on Egypt, etc.
The only down side for us was the wind, it is a bit exposed, being right on the coast and not very sheltered, being in a tent it was more of a problem for us. Excellent value though, we had booked 2 adults and 3 dogs 1 large tent, plus EHU, plus 2 OAP's 1 small tent and an extra car for 11 nights for only £165.00 - that is the best value campsite with the best facilities. Really don't think you can beat it!
We came home a day early cause of the wind and 3 of us had started with colds, but apart from that really enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return!
Overall 9/10 and that is just because it is a little exposed and is prone to the offshore winds.

Just returned from 4 nights at East Fleet. The site itself was superb - great views and a feeling of being quite isolated when in fact you're very close to the town. We chose this site for our first camping trip as a family based on previous reviews and it being fairly close to home if we decided we'd had enough!
Our first night saw gale force winds which gave our tent (and us!) a good field test but we withstood the conditions and the following 3 nights were far better. The pitch we were allocated (in the lower field) was on a slope but we didn't notice this after a while.
Facilities again were excellent - we found we had to run the hot water taps for a long time before anything resembling hot water came out but when it did it was certainly hot enough. Showers were good and never busy and the family shower rooms are a good idea.
Our 2 year old loved the playground and the adjoining field was safe for her to run around in. In fact the whole site seemed very child friendly.
Needless to say we had a great time. Although we're almost locals ourselves coming from Southampton we found plenty to do and would recommend the Abbotsbury Childrens farm in particular.

Spacious pitches, spotlessly clean at all times and the staff were really friendly. Plenty of free hot water, no queues for the showers although it was pretty quiet. We are 2 adults so cannot comment on the facilities for children.
We only went to the on-site pub one night as we were so busy but it was competitively priced. The shop was well stocked if you should run out of anything but there are supermarkets nearby. When we checked in we were given a pamphlet detailing a map of the site, nearest dentist / doctors and the location of the nearest supermarkets which was very handy - we found Morrisson's the quickest to get to.
The camp site is in a fab location, we went to Weymouth, Poole, Sandbanks, Lulwoth Cove and Durdle Door while there. Pack your walking shoes as there is so much to see in the area. We caught the bus into Weymouth, as it is out of season the bus did not come on to the site, it is only a 10 minute walk to the top of the lane to catch it, but quite steep so those with walking difficulties would have to take the car.
It is on the Fleet Lagoon so quite windy but our Monty stood up to it! Would we return? Yes! In fact we are going to book for a week in August if we can get in.

Just back from our first trip here. Must say we agree with most of what has already been written. Great location (a bit windy sometimes but you are right on the coast). Friendly staff, immaculate facilities and generally well kept pitches and site overall.
The site was not busy at the time of our trip and was perfect for the first 'test trip', but on the other hand the facilities could easily cope with the busier periods.
The shop was well stocked with camping gear and adequate for food stuffs. Nice dog walk around the immediate surrounding area.
Weymouth and Portland are a short drive away and still retain all of their appeal.
Definitely will plan a return trip soon as this site is not too far away for us , but still remote enough to have that 'get away' feeling, very good value for money !
