 We stayed at East Fleet for 5 nights. Our pitch was in the corner at the bottom of the lower field. Though I first thought it was a fair old trek (especially first thing in the morning) to the toilet block I soon realised that we had a prime position. We had view of the lagoon and backed onto a field of the quietest cows I have (n)ever heard. I would not have liked to be pitched near the play area. When we were there the campsite seemed to be at full capacity and got noisier with every step I took towards the toilet block and play park.
It would be good if there were a couple of portaloos in the lower field, even if no wash facilities. Anyway thats my moan. Now the good points. The toilets and showers were always clean plenty of hot water, pub was nice, play area good, staff helpful, shop well stocked. I could not fault this site for its facilities, Just found it a bit too busy for my liking, but wouldnt rule out another visit if able to select pitch.

What a fantastic site, don't hesitate to book here. We had a field behind us - with cows and chickens - our view to the front was over the top of the camp site and beyond that rolling meadows and to the right of us the fantastic lagoon and beyond that the sea.
It has a great kite flying field where the kids can go mad. The toilets and showers are great, only had to queue for shower once at peak time one morning. Very clean, has separete sink units.
The playground is great and kept two 12 year olds busy all day one day in fantastic sunshine. They have a strict kicking off time which has its advantages. We didn't eat at the pub but had one or two drinks! But the food looked great. Pub has a snooker table.
You can get to a very peebley beach but it was great for occuping our two year who loved throwing stones off the jetty and fossil hunting. Weymouth is a lovely harbour town only a short drive away. Our boys spent hours crab fishing here.
Site has a well stocked shop at reasonable rates. Only criticism was the ice blocks freezing system. They have a 'public' freezer but its a bit of a free for all. The lid gets left open and therefore the blocks don't freeze, blocks go missing etc. Best to use their own behind the counter freezer at a very small cost. Best site I have stayed on and will definitely be going back.

We have stayed at eastfleet twice (3nights/Ea), both times we enjoyed our stay very much.
The pitches are marked out and there is a fairly strict car - tent - car - tent order to keep too, however we still felt we had enough room without feeling squashed in.
The on-site facilities were very good/clean with the family shower rooms a great idea. (p.S - we stayed in the new camping field to the right as you drive down the lane). Staff were helpful at all times and even let our friends join us for a barbeque one evening as well as stay late on our departure day.
A 6/7 minute to Weymouth town centre.
There are lots of things to see and do in and around Weymouth, amongst our favourites were Lulworth Castle & Cove, Dorcester war musuem.
Altogether a very nice/peaceful stay, we would certainly go back and have already recommended to friends.

We visited this site for the first time last week. We had booked initially for 3 nights but were so impressed we stayed a further 2 nights. Best site we've been on. Very clean and excellent facilities. The staff were extremely helpful - nothing too much trouble. We stayed in the Stable field.
Beautiful coves/beaches not far away and lots to do quite close by. The only thing I would complain about was nothing to do with the site but the road signs - lots of them were blocked by overgrown trees and hedges.

We joined my parents in their caravan (well in the awning) for 1 night after the end of out holiday at another nearby site. This was the first Saturday on the summer holidays, so the site was very busy and near full. We were in Stable field.
The pitches seemed very big indeed. On my parents one pitch we fitted their 22 foot van,awning, both our cars and our trailer. We still had space to sit outside as well!
The staff were very friendly and helpful. They reguarly drove around on their electric buggies checking everyone was happy, knew where they were to pitch, pickin up litter and stopping just to pass the time of day.
The shower and toilet block was immaculate. Huge family showers with loo, sink, shower and changing area all in a private room. Ideal for families. The whole facilities block was spotless. There was even hand gel available (the type you need no water for) as well as normal soap etc. No spiders moths etc. Just really luxurious!
The childrens play area was in another section of the site to where we stayed but only a few minutes walk away. The facilities block on this side was older but still very clean when we took a nosey on the Sunday afternoon.
I popped in the huge shop that was very well stocked with camping and caravanning gear. It also sold basic provisions. A little steeply priced 75p a tin of beans etc.
I spoke to several people , some have been coming for years. Others on 1st visits (like us) were very impressed at the care taken in allocating pitches. The site really did take into consideration special or individual requests and did there very best to meet them.
Despite the site being very busy it really quietend down at about 11pm.
I would recommend this site to anyone. Couples or families.

Pitch No. 315. Stable field.
We arrived Saturday afternoon 3pm on June 28th for a fortnights stay. The entrance to the site is along Fleet lane which has speed humps and a limit of 20mph. There are passing places but in certain sections the lane is quite narrow. Two large tourers meeting head on may have some tricky manoeuvrings to contend with.
The holding area, situated outside the reception and shop building has room for approx 4-6 caravans and cars. If you are pitching on Stable field you will have to turn around and go back a little, this could be tricky if the holding area is congested.
The receptionist was polite and helpful on our arrival. We were not just allocated a pitch but given the option to choose our own as the site wasn't too busy. We opted for an all grass pitch in stable field. Slightly higher up than the other pitches but with better views. She drew us directions on our site map to where we would be living for the next fortnight.
First impressions on arrival were that the site was well tended and managed. The site is well laid out with the reception area shop and pub central to the fields.
There are hard standings at this site but you have to pitch your awning on it and not on the grass. The hard standings are not of concrete but seemed to be compacted coarse aggregate. I do believe the proprietor would loan out suitable ground stakes for a deposit.
The site layout consists of three main fields. The highest one and with better views is Stable field. This field is slightly sloped as you progress beyond the hard standings.Vehicular access to the fields is controlled by a pin number operated electric barrier. This does give you a sense of security. It is emphasised that you do not give out the pin number to anyone.
The wash and shower facilities in stable field are second to none. State of the art for a campsite even. Almost brand new they boast private family washrooms which include shower, WC and washbasin. This alongside the usual ladies and gents toilets. The dish washing room is of a good size with constant hot and cold water. To my knowledge all of this block is cleaned at least once daily and is not shut down for the duration.
The Pub is nice and tidy, though I admit we only used it on one occasion preferring to drive into Weymouth. Good meals are served here though we thought a little more pricey than pubs in the town. For those who like to play pool they have two tables, not sure if youngsters can use them though. There is little evening entertainment for children in the pub. Only the usual pop and crisps.
The laundry room was in the adjacent field to us and was contained in that particular fields shower block. It had two washing machines which cost £3.50 each wash. There was also a wall mounted fold up ironing board and wall mounted iron.
During our two week stay I noted on more than one occasion staff litter picking around the fields and trimming the grass around the pitch marker stones which are set into the ground. The grass was being mowed almost every other day. The water and electric outlets were cleaned on a regular basis. The only gripe I have is with the mains cold water taps. You have press the tap to keep it flowing and the water didn't come out like a jet but more like a spray, it took a time to fill a 25 litre container.
The shop is large and boasts the usual daily groceries that may be required. Expect to pay a little more than you would at a supermarket. Also stocked is a wide range of camping and caravanning accessories.
The weather took a turn for the worse during our second week. The wind picked up to almost gale force on more than one occasion. The open aspect of the site overlooking Fleet lagoon and Chesil beach is lovely on a sunny day but offers little protection during foul weather. We had to strap down our awning for fear of losing it to the wind.
There are ample supermarkets within the town of Weymouth. We tended to use the Aldi and Asda. These are around 2-3miles from Eastfleet. Nearest but not necessarily the cheapest petrol was the Esso garage. Turn right at traffic lights out of Fleet lane then at next set of traffic lights turn left (at The Marquis of Granby pub) Garage is on the left just further down the road.
All in all we had an excellent stay here and in my book Eastfleet would rate nine out of ten. We will be back as they say.

This was our first ever camping adventure and we were as green as could be but excited about our venture into the unknown.
This site is more expensive than any we have visited since and now with a bit more experience behind us I would say doesn't offer as much value for money as others we have stayed in however it is a very organised, well staffed and enjoyable campsite.
We were given clear instructions on how to find our pitch on arrival however we did struggle to get to grips with the boundaries of our pitch as they are marked by white bricks laid into the grass. It was our neighbours who enabled us to work out what was what.
Being very close to the sea protected by chesil beach it was a breezy site but invigorating(at least where we were pitched it was!).
Our pitch was flat with EHU and we could see the lagoon from where we were located.
Our (then) six year old son really enjoyed the excellent play area which is one of the best we have seen.
I can't speak for the showers as we didn't use them but the toilet and washroom facilities were good.
The shop was a good size and had what ever we needed in stock.
When it came to leaving we were fortunate no-one was booked onto our pitch so for a donation into the charity box we had plenty of time to pack up - which as absolute novices we were grateful for!
Overall we did enjoy our time here however I thought the site was expensive

I have reviewed this site before and it’s still an excellent site, probably better. It has a brand new shop that has a very big camping section. They have the Stable field with a new toilet block.
The Old Barn Pub is a nice place to go in the evening with good views over the Fleet. It also sells two Palmers Beers on handpump.
A superb location for walking or visiting Weymouth with buses every 15 minutes into Town at the top of the lane.
This is one of my favourite sites and will be going back many times in the future.

What an excellent site. We booked for two days but stayed five. Lovely layout with panoramic views toward Chessil Beach and the sea. Close to Weymouth (3 miles) and they even had a bus laid on to take you in the morning and bring you back in the afternoon. In the other direction a nice drive down to Bridport and West Bay. The site is beautifully kept, clean and tidy . In fact we have never seen attendants frequent the toilet blocks so often to ensure they are in tip top condition. Comfortable bar and restaurant with good selection of drinks and menu at a very fair price. You don't even have to wait long for a meal. Excellent new shop and reception with staff only too happy to oblige with all requests. A lot of thought has gone into this site and in talking to the staff they are still thinking of ways to improve over the next few years. Can only give this our best recommendation and a promise that we will be visiting again.

This was actually our 4th visit to East Fleet having first stayed for 8 nights in June 2006.
My Mum came with us this time to give her a break - it was also her very first time staying in our caravan and on a touring park!
We chose East Fleet as we knew it wouldn't disappoint and also due to the fact that they maintain a very high standard of cleanliness and maintainance throughout the park.
My Mum was very impressed with the site and the fact it was very peaceful. She was also suitably impressed with the washblock - rating this as 1st class.
I actually observed staff cleaning the washblock quite early in the morning, during the afternoon (I think) and during the evening. I'm not sure how many times it's cleaned but would think at least three times a day.
It was quite windy on the first 2 nights and our new porch awning managed to survive a battering from the wind. However, we were in the Lower Field nearer the Fleet Lagoon so probably a bit more exposed to the elements.
The new shop and reception area opened during our stay (they've converted one of their barns). I had a wander round at the end of our stay and noticed that they had a good range of camping accessories including air beds, a porch awning and a tent! However, I did think that they were a bit limited on the food range and quantity that was stocked. Prices are obviously higher than usual as the site needs to make a profit.
There are supermarkets in Weymouth which is about a 3 mile drive. There is an Asda and a Morrisons (the Morrisons has a petrol station so we filled up there before returning home).
We think this site is certainly one of the best for staying in the Weymouth area if you want a bit of peace and quiet. It does have a pub which serves food in the evenings and a children's playpark but there is no entertainment or club.
They are also dog friendly and there is a dog walk leading from the Lower Field alongside the Fleet Lagoon. We usually walk our dogs along to the jetty although we have walked part of the coast path. They also only charge a nominal amount for each dog unlike other parks where it can almost be as cheap to kennel them!
All in all, an excellent place to stay
Conveniently located for Weymouth and the Dorset coastline and surrounding area.
