 Just returned from a week at East Fleet Farm - very impressive site. Excellent facilities, in particular the family showers, and always very clean. Staff very friendly and available for help etc as needed. Visited the on site club several times, good food and our son particularly enjoyed playing pool. We would definitely return.

Wonderful site in a superb location. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The facilities are excellent plenty of toilets and showers, always clean. There is a club house with bar, selling Real Ale(Palmers)and a pool table. There is a shop stocked with essentials. The southwest coast path runs past the site. Weymouth is a 45 minute walk or you can catch a bus at the top of the lane, the bus comes down the lane to the site in high season. Highly recommended.

I really can't imagine what 'atmosphere' Pixel 1 was feeling. All we experienced was a pleasant, friendly site operated by staff who, though extremely hardworking, would still find the time to go the extra inch with advice and help. Thanks especially to the guy who helped us dispose of our ancient awning when it finally expired in strong winds.
The kids playground was as safe as you could expect, better equipped than most and, though obviously a natural meeting point for the older children, was never worryingly noisy - we were only around 30 yards away and never felt unduly disturbed.
We didn't try the pub/restaurant so can't comment on quality or value. If you want a great Sunday lunch at a very reasonable price, £6.95, go no further than the Heritage at the Turk's Head in Chickerell village.
Facilities were always very clean, usually immaculately so, and the only slight criticism was the care needed to keep clothes dry in the rather small shower enclosures. Not a problem - just need to put a bit of thought into where you hang your things.
All in all, this was a great site and we will be back next year.

Lovely site, great if you have children not recommended if you don't the place seems to be over run with them. Shower facilities are excellent with plenty of hot water and always clean.
Shop is very over priced, I do lots of travelling round the UK and this site is the most expensive so far. Again the bar/restaurant is over priced too and not home made food. They do operate a policy of no commercial vehicles but 9 times out of 10 you will be allowed in, we counted quite a number of them. Electric pitches are only 10amp a site this size should do better. There is an underlying atmosphere at this site unable to pin point it. We stayed here a number of times this year on varying weekends and there is always something brewing. Having said that it is a great site for families only really.

Just come home from 3 brilliant nights at this great site. The weather couldn't have been better - I know you can't book it but it certainly makes for a great holiday! We arrived on site and was allocated our pitch on the lower field - overlooking the Fleet Lagoon. What a fab view!
Plenty of space between pitches and even though it was quite busy it never really seemed that way. Toilet block was brilliant. Loads of showers and toilets in each and always kept very clean. They also have 4 family shower rooms each containing a shower, toilet and sink with loads of room for drying off. Never busy so made the most of them.
On site shop was full of goodies and not too expensive. The Old Barn, on site pub and restaurant was excellent. Very friendly staff on duty all 3 nights. Good pub grub and again not overpriced, although the drinks seemed a bit dear?!
There was a daily bus service at 10:30am from reception that took you into Weymouth, and brought you back at 4:30pm. This services runs more regularly in season. There was also a village service from Chickerell (Army Camp) - which was about a 15/20 min walk from the site - into Weymouth which cost £2.10 return and 40p per dog. The walks along the lagoon (to the jetty one way and to the hidden Old Church the other) were wonderful in the evenings as the sun was going down. All in all a great site, although when it's packed in school holidays we're sure it's a different kind of site?

Have just returned from a fabulous weekend at East Fleet and I can't praise it highly enough. We stayed in the lower field which was a little bit far from the facilities but the views more than compensated for the inconvenience!
We went with our 9 year old daughter and her best friend who had a brilliant time - they made friends with another little girl and the site was safe enough for the three of them to play together without the overt supervision of the adults, although we were always aware of where they were. There were ripe blackberries in the hedgerows and all three of them got covered in the juice from eating them!
There were lots of other families on site and I would say this is very much somewhere for people with children who don't mind the noise that comes with the territory! If you're looking for peace and quiet then somewhere else might be better. However it suited our needs perfectly. The pitches were also of a generous size so we didn't feel crowded which was nice as we have a Vango Diablo 600 which is quite large.
We did eat in the pub which was fine but it was a little disappointing that the food wasn't organic and very much out of a packet given that the site is located on an organic farm! However the local beer was very good and the shop did sell some good local produce which we took home.
That little quibble aside we will definitely returning next year.

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at East Fleet and have to say that it is a very nice site. The pitches are of a good size, we stayed in the stable field site and had lovely views across the lagoon.
The shower/toilet/washing up block was the best I've ever seen. Spotlessly clean, constant hot water, the shower rooms were a very good size which had a sink and a toilet in as well as the shower, which made it so much easier to get dry and then dressed.
There were free hairdryers in the shower block. The separate toilets were always clean with spotlessly clean sinks. The washing up facilities were very good, always clean with plenty of hot water.
I have to agree with some of the other reviews on this site that it wouldn't be good to have a pitch next to or near to the childrens playground. It did get quite noisy and if you had younger children like we have, ours is 3 years old and goes to bed at around 7.30 - 8ish, there would be no way that they would be able to go sleep until well after 9pm. But having said that I suppose it was good to have the kids in one area most of the time rather than making too much noise around the rest of the site. So there's two ways to look at it.
The bar looked nice although we didn't actually make it there, we were quite happy with our bottle of wine and a few cans of beer sitting outside our tent playing cards and scrabble with our two older children aged 15 and 12. The shop was always well stocked with plenty of milk and newspapers every day.
Quite quiet later in the evening, heard a few people going back to their pitches but nothing to disturb us. Heard the cows mooing now and again and that added to the whole experience of camping.
Overall a lovely site, a good base, Weymouth town centre is literally 5-10 mins drive. Will definitely be going back again next year.

We stayed for four nights at East fleet farm. Our pitch was in the lower field nearest to the lagoon. Initially we thought this was good but actually it was very noisy with people and children accessing the coast path and dog walk. Particularly the mornings were noisy and there was a lot of vehicle movement too, which on very crunchy gravel, was not welcomed at half 6 in the morning!
It was very windy and rainy which is to be expected in Britain but the wind blew endless through the beach safety sign whistling and howling - thank heaven for ear plugs really!
The lagoon was quite smelly and the flies and midges were a problem for us until we purchased some citronella candles. Also the pitch was very slopey and finding the right place to make the best of the pitch was quite a task.
As many other people have said, the facilities were excellent and so clean - they were always cleaning the toilets and showers, even at 11 at night!
Good hot water and lots of it, although I found it very hot and would like to have been able to adjust the temperature a little.
A secure site with access codes etc and very close to coast walking. I would say though that we found the site noisy - we don't have kids yet, so would like to not have to endure the constant noise of other peoples' especially seeing as I'm a teacher and trying to get away from that!
The shop was well stocked and staff were friendly. We took a chance and used the communal freezer block facility - 8 of ours in a labelled carrier went missing - very frustrating.
I wouldn't go to East Fleet again, it's not terrible, just not for us. I'd prefer a smaller site and would sacrifice the facilities a little for a quieter stay.

Just a short comment to praise the owners for their understanding when I was desperately searching, at the last minute, for a site in the height of the season. I was in the area visiting a friend who had been rushed to hospital and wanted to rest my weary head after a long and stressful day. After receiving waves of apathy about my situation from just about every site in the Bournemouth/Poole area, the owners of East Fleet showed real concern and went the extra few steps to accommodate me. Most impressive! Next time I shall visit properly. It is easy to see the long list of impressive reviews are no accident.
