 Spent one night here in july, reception/ shop is small but very welcoming. Pitches are very big although I do have a tiny camper!. We went to the restaurant and it was nice food. Not much around in short walking distance so it was nice having restaurant on board. There is plenty of toilets and shower rooms, next time I will choose carefully as I didn't get on with the shower, it was a individual unisex bathroom, and there was a shower cubical. I went in and turned it on and it was Cold!
Had leave the door open while I worked it out, I soon cleaned up the water on the floor with paper towels that was provided luckily. The exclusive signs scattered around the campsite stating for discerning adults is slightly over the top and doesn't actually serve a valuable purpose. This is a nice quiet campsite and I would recommend and return. Thank you

This was our first trip in a motorhome and we were placed in 4 Valley view on a nice pitch with a reasonably secluded, if small, grass area.
This site is one of the best kept and prettiest we've visited with lovely dog walking area and riverside walks. They Pymore inn is a free house some 17 minutes down the Brit valley. A longer walk but well worthwhile is to the Hare and Hounds (Palmers brewery) in Waytown. It's 30 minutes and a still uphill finish but the garden does have the best views of any pub I have been to.
Screening from hedges and trees is generally reasonable.
The facilities are excellent. Showers and toilets are clean with hot water and plenty of space. Tip - do use the unisex showers at the back - much more space.
No complaints about the price as we pre booked. It was just about worthwhile for the location, solitude and facilities. If you are a penny pincher this might not be the site for you.

Have just returned from a wonderful bank holiday break at this lovely site. We arrived on Saturday, a little earlier than the 12pm arrival time but this was not a problem. Reception staff were very friendly and welcoming giving lots of useful information about the site this being our first stay. We were shown to our pitch by a member of staff which we also felt was a very nice touch. The site is very well maintained, there is nothing out of place, so clean and tidy with lovely hedges round the pitches offering privacy for those who want it. The dog walk is one of the best we have ever seen on a caravan park. We went to Buzzards Restaurant which was a great surprise, the food was excellent and couldn't fault anything at all. We will be back again this year to enjoy more of Bingham Granges excellent hospitality.

As previous review we were amazed at the amount of signs everywhere for generally common sense things that said thought the site immaculate especially the walk in shower room. Reception not the best I've had or maybe she was having an off day. The pitch we were offered was changed for another with the minimum amount of fuss. We used the Buzzard bar once and although the food was good thought the place lacked a little atmosphere. There is an hourly bus at the end of the drive during the day only to Bridport. Taxi back was £8. Last post mentioned price-paid about £71 on some sort of deal for three nights.

We've used this site for a number of years now, mostly in a tent, and have seen it develop and mature. This was our first trip in a motorhome and we were placed in the top field on a nice pitch with a reasonably secluded, if small, grass area.
Firstly, this site is one of the best kept and prettiest we've visited with lovely dog walking area and riverside walks. Screening from hedges and trees is generally ample, particularly in the lower field. The top of the lower field seems to contain mostly seasonal pitches. Unlike others we haven't witnessed a sense of superiority from other visitors.
I do agree that the signage is perhaps slightly over-zealous, with one even prescribing the length of an extending lead! I also visited the area marked 'Waste and Recycling' to find a notice explaining that recycling is not actually there at all!
We've found the staff mostly to be helpful although have often noticed a formality and certain lack of warmth when booking in. There was no recognition that we are fairly regular visitors, even though this information becomes available on booking.
The facilities are excellent. Showers and toilets are clean with hot water and plenty of space. Having said that we don't visit in peak seasons. The on-site restaurant serves decent pub-grub but doesn't open every evening out of season.
My main gripe with Bingham Grange is price. We paid £26 for one night (inc. Dog and hook-up), which was £10 more than a nearby site which had better showers and customer service. Frankly, it seems to us that the owners see tourers as the icing on the cake and have been nudging prices up steadily. Sadly, it's got to the point that, although it's undoubtedly a lovely and well cared for site, it is simply too expensive to visit. It is only April after all and we can't justify such prices when we can take our pick of pleasant sites in the vicinity. As a result, after so many happy visits, we probably won't be returning.

Beautifully kept and run adults only campsite set in the stunning Dorset countryside.
We recently stayed for 2 nights and had a lovely large secluded hardstanding pitch overlooking the countryside towards Bridport.
Easy to find (from the campsites instructions) and swift, friendly check in. Spotless site and facilities.
Small shop (in reception) with a few essentials including daily newspapers (no need to pre-order). Lovely walks from the site (great for dog owners) and the bus to Bridport stops right outside the site entrance (you have to wave him down!). I think it was about £3. 60 each (return) to Bridport and back for those not lucky enough to yet own a bus pass! Lots to do in the lovely town and great market on Saturdays. We also visited West Bay (or Broadchurch if you prefer!). We walked from Bridport and back (1. 5 miles ish each way). Lovely place to sit and watch the world go by whilst eating fish & chips!
Buzzards Bar (the on site bar & restaurant) is fantastic. Lovely food, great portions, nice choice of beer and cider and great service and just a short stagger home!
Great site - we will definitely be back.

We first came here three years ago as relatively inexperienced motorhome owners. We decided to bring our caravan here for the second half of a two week break as we knew the area and remembered the site as being good, particularly as it's adults only.
In its favour is a superb dog walking area, its proximity to the Jurassic coast and the on site bar and restaurant which is convenient for an evening drink and which serves good food at reasonable prices. They will also prepare meals as a takeaway option.
The toilet and shower block, given its boast as loo of the year, is a little disappointing. While it is clean and well maintained the toilet/shower rooms consist of four with toilet, shower and basin and are a little cramped for space. There is a shower and basin room. There are two new and larger unisex shower rooms which are more spacious with slate floors. There is also a small traditional male and female toilet and shower block. Not a lot for 130 or so pitches including around 30 tent pitches.
The pitches are mostly spacious but very close together and not all have dividing hedges and so many windbreaks were in evidence. They are also in places on slopes and the pea gravel on the hardstanding is deep and so we needed to borrow blocks to stop our jockey wheel sinking. They are a bit like walking on a shingle beach. The tent pitches look to be very good although we have no expertise in this area.
People in the lower parts of the site face un uphill walk to the main block over a very poorly maintained drive. Not great when getting toilet cassettes to the only chemical waste emptying point.
Staff are reasonably friendly and helpful but there is an element of overkill on the number of notice boards with the rules and regs. It feels a bit like being in school.
Overall this is a mostly well maintained site with good facilities but is a little businesslike. A greater feeling of privacy and fewer notices would make it feel more welcoming.

We've just returned after a five night stay. The site was exceptionally maintained with cut hedges and grass verges. Most pitches are separated by a hedge which afforded privacy if you needed it. The toilet/shower facilities were on par with other good camp sites. However, the private shower room/toilets were to die for. A true luxury and offered total privacy when attending to your personal needs.
The shop/reception was fine. We were given a warm welcome and escorted to our pitch.
The dog walks were excellent with secure wooded walkways and a stream for cooling off. The site was surrounded by walks in all directions clearly marked.
The site was quiet and the staff helpful and polite - all wearing company tee shirts which added to the overall effect.
The bar/restaurant was to a very high standard somewhat wasted I would have to say. Such a shame it isnt used more. One way might be to allow dogs onto the veranda (they are not allowed anywhere in or around the bar).
I would recommend this site as a peaceful, quiet, dog friendly site and will go back should we decide to visit this part of the world again.
A word of warning! The travel guidance supplied by them advises not to use a sat nav when approacng the site and offers alternative instructions. Follow them. The roads your sat nav will take you are not suitable for a caravan or motorhome and it will not take you to the main entrance.

Great site, location and very clean too. The staff were brilliant showing us to our pitch and explained how everything works.
Dog walking area is great too. I have no complaints.
The hairdyers were broken but that staff gave me one to use, nothing is a problem.
Really good location easy access to West bay which is lovely great fish and chips on the harbour.
Great stay
