 We have been quite a few times as a family, but this was my second visit minus hubby, so it was just me & and the 3 kids! I feel safe here & the staff are so helpful & friendly. The site is clean & always plenty of hot water. Great time to go, as was quite quiet really, so no queues for showers at all! park wasn't too busy either and the children had a whale of a time the few times they went. We only went to the pub early one evening, and it has had a lot of work done in it to extend it, good job done! Lots of helpful caravanners who helped me when I needed it! Overall, another great time at this site! Would always highly recommend it! Not too far from Asda, the beach & as I know my way round the area quite well now, I would say it is a perfect spot!

Lovely site in a nice location although entry/exit road can be a bit tight when passing other outfits. Sloping pitches but quite large & loads of hardstanding. Really nice pub which was also good value for money. Good, well stocked shop. Toilet/Shower facilities were clean although very busy while we were there. Kids play area very good. Nearby Weymouth arguably offers the best, most child friendly beach anywhere in the UK. All in all, a good site most definitely worth considering if you are looking to stay in the area.

Spent a week at East Fleet and really liked the site with picturesque views across the Fleet Lagoon. Very clean and well maintained site with spacious pitches and saplings set out around the site separating the rows. We stayed in the stable field and found the family shower rooms to be very spacious and spotlessly clean with hot water all day. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We thought the leaflet handed out on arrival with recommended eating places and directions to Asda etc was very good. The shop had basic groceries with a large camping and caravan section and some toys/games. The pub was not very large but had a friendly atmosphere. We didn't eat at the pub so cannot comment on the food. The playground looked great for kids. This was a lovely site which was conveniently situated for exploring Weymouth and the surrounding areas. The only downside is that in peak season, the playground and showers would struggle to accommodate a full site and campers wishing to eat at the pub would find waiting times quite long as the pub can only accommodate a set amount of numbers at any one time. Overall we really liked this site and the surrounding area and would definitely return (but not in peak season).

My family and I spent a week at East Fleet campsite during the third week in August.
Upon arrival, a nice warm welcome from the staff. The reception area located in the new shop contains informative leaflets for local attractions.
The shop which had only recently opened was well stocked with food supplies and camping equipment.
We were quickly shown to our pitch which was large enough for our Monty 6 and car.
We thought the facilities were very good, better than we had expected after reading some previous reviews.
The old barn is a bonus if you wish to unwind and relax with a pint without having to go off site. There is live music on various nights which was entertaining. There are a number of games for the children to play with in the bar. These were a bonus and kept my daughter occupied on the occasions we visited.
There are decent pubs to eat in the area, I can recommend The Lugger Inn. The food here is good and reasonably priced.
The showers had limited room to hang clothes etc. This is a minor criticism as the showers have plenty of hot water and were kept very clean. The showers/toilets have a cleaning register that is updated throughout the day as they are cleaned. Clean shower/toilet facilities are our top requirement when we choose a site and this site did not let us down
The playground area has many apparatus to keep the children occupied.
There are good coastal walks across the lagoon.
Generally we like to visit different sites and locations throughout the year. Would we revisit this site? Definitely!

I'd agree with most of the previous reviews: a nice site, pleasantly landscaped, good size pitches, excellent shower blocks, kids' playground fab, shop OK - though better for camping stuff than food, friendly and helpful staff, great bar on site that lets in dogs and sells good beer, nice views over the Fleet, quiet after 10 or 11pm.
But I would take issue with the food in the bar. It could be described as 'average pub grub', if the pub was in 1978. There's nothing on the menu that shows any cooking skill beyond the microwave, grill or deep fat fryer. The steak & kidney pudding's clearly bought in, as are the desserts. And it's not cheap. £6 for a baked potato with a spoonful of beans, some grated cheese and a dreary array of lettuce and pickled onions. I should emphasise it wasn't *bad* - nothing you could really complain to the staff about; just deadly dull and too dear.
But I'd go back to East Fleet - it's got so many good things going for it. I'd just avoid the nosh.

Just got back from this site on Wednesday 8th sept. The site is really very good and we have nothing really to fault it on except the weather does tend to blow a gale through the site if the wind is coming off the sea. Our caravan/awning stood the test of the gales and really heavy rain which the ground seemed to drain away quite well. The staff are really helpful and friendly. The pub is very nice and cosy with excellent food served very quickly. I like to vary my choices but after eating one of their sirloin steaks I was back the next night for another. The shower block in the stable (upper) field is quite new and an import from Norway. There are 8 rooms inside each with toilet, shower and basin with loads of room to move about. The lights are controlled by sensors but there is plenty of natural light coming in as well. This is part of the sites 'Green' commitement as are the timed showers but neither are skimpy and give you plenty of time and hot water. Pitches are roomy and clearly marked with young saplings separating the rows which I think in a few years time will be a great bonus for the site as they will no doubt assist in reducing the force of the wind. We had to use storm straps for a couple of nights but I feel certain that this was more for reassurance than necessity. The picturesque positioning of the site and its central location for all things Jurassic makes up for the bad weather, which after all is a bit beyond the sites control. This is a working farm with cows and horses moving through the upper fields but there is no danger from these as the hedging and fencing prevents any chance of a meeting! The shop is very well stocked for camping items and toys with a small grocery section which I guess could be improved on although it did stock all that we needed and there is an Asda in Weymouth about 5 minutes drive away. All in all a very good site and if we were in the area again (We live in Essex) we would definitely drop in for a night or two as long as the wind holds off!

Stayed for 10 days over the August bank holiday.
Rang week before to ask if we could arrive Friday instead of Saturday. This was not a problem and staff answered phone quickly and politely.
Site is a reasonable size now the Stable field was opened and pictures on their website are slightly out of date. Shower and toilet blocks were always clean but had quite a queue most mornings. (Stable shower/toilet block is new and campers were coming to use these from the other fields instead of using the other blocks)
The staff has been the most friendly and helpful of all the sites we have visited. (Even with our grumpy German Shepherd dog).The walks are very good for dog walkers. The pitch size was very spacious with ECU and water very close. Bar prices reasonable for both drink and food. The main reception is in the shop where a fair selection of food essentials alongside a good selection of camping equipment. All the main supermarkets are located with-in a few miles and directions were given on the welcome literature.
Overall a very nice site I would recommend

Our first camping trip with the kids - and what a great introduction for them! Fabulously well run site. Roomy pitches, helpful staff, lovely clean toilets, family shower rooms (really helpful with a 2 & a 4 year old), free hairdryer, playground for the kids, entertainment in the pub in the evenings (the kids loved dancing with the Morris Men & Women!) and a well stocked shop - what more could we ask for?
Also loved the 'little touches', like small bbqs and bbq blocks dotted around for us to use, and being able to freeze your ice blocks FOC.
The only downside for us was that although the playground signs said it was for under 8's, a lot of the children were in their teens, and were playing a bit boisterously for the little ones to enjoy themselves fully - but this is down to the teens' parents, not the campsite.
The bus that came into the site was really handy for trips into Weymouth too, so we didn't need to take the car out so much (good idea in August - car parks are extra busy!), and at £2 return per adult, excellent value.
All in all, a great holiday and can't wait to go back.

Just come back from spending a week at East Fleet. The weather was the worst you can imagine, the winds and rain were just awful. The site was very busy and full of children, so my 4yr old son didn't get much of a look in at the playground, but it was very nice and he did love the big swings. The facilities were very nice and clean all the time, only had to queue a couple of times, we were in the stable field and the family shower rooms were great. The only down side is that the site is very exposed and as you are facing the fleet and chesil beach it gets very windy and is open to the elements, but apart from that we did enjoy it and had a lovely time. Weymouth and the county of Dorset is fantastic, so much to see and do and we come back here every year.

Excellent site. The pitches are very spacious,and excellent shower/toilet facilities. The shop is well stocked with basic foodstuff and a good range of camping equipment. The onsite pub is also very good serving reasonably priced meals-my two retired greyhounds Tom and Millie were made very welcome in the pub. There are also some good dog friendly walks all around the site.
The staff are friendly and helpful at all times.
The site is very well situated for visiting Weymouth, there is a bus service from the site if you wanted to leave the car a the site for a change. Looking forward to visiting many times in the future!
