 To be honest ! It is a very pretty well maintained site, but there are a few points that need to be mentioned.
There are a lot of 'seasonal' tourers that are placed around the site which are on fully serviced pitches and some on Standard EHU pitches.
Some of these people thought they owned the land they were sited on and were very 'Clicky' and as we were pitched in front of them they seemed to think we were sort of not worthy.
There are ample notices everywhere ( even in the brochure) stating all dogs are to be kept on a lead at all times when on site, but yet I had 2 German Shepherd's (In my awning at 1 point) roaming free belonging to the seasonal tourer behind me, when I asked the owner of the dogs why the dogs were not tethered I was was looked at like I had 3 heads and told they don't like to be tied up and that the dogs were on there pitch.
I mentioned this to the owners but nothing seemed to get done about it.
I was then told by the dogs owners not to walk behind my own caravan as I was walking on her pitch ? I chose to ignore her but it made it uncomfortable for the rest of our 10 day stay.
The sites Toilet / Shower facilities are very clean, but the pressure to some of the showers is terrible (little more than a trickle) also there are only 4 unisex, plus 2 female & 2 male + 1 Disabled facility to the whole site of more than a 100 pitches so don't be surprised if you have to wait in the morning just to use the loo's because this is where some of the showers are too.
The site is not at all disabled friendly with it being hilly when walking up to reception, not many water points to be found and if you are tenting the pitches are very pretty and secluded but you do face an uphill walk of around 350 meters everytime you want to wash up or go to the loo.
In all, it is a very pretty site, but until the owners with dogs roaming free and the we are here all season attitude is sorted then I for one will not return. Just in case anyone is wondering ?
I love dogs of all sizes & breeds Just a shame I can't say that about some dog owners.

This is an absolute gem of a site. Everything has been set out thoughtfully and it is beautifully maintained. Pitches are large, many screened with tall hedges, and all are arranged so that no-one is looking through somebody else's front window.
We had a fully serviced pitch which even had a drainpipe running from a point adjacent to the caravan's drainage outlet, easy just to tuck a short hose into.
The toilet and shower facilities are very clean, with modern unisex shower/toilet/washbasin rooms and ladies and gents showers and toilets.
And it is so QUIET! A truly tranquil park.
We didn't try the Buzzards restaurant, but the menu looked comprehensive and reasonably priced.
This has gone to top of our list of favourite sites and we will certainly be visiting again.

I recently stayed here for 6 nights with my wife and friends were staying in the tent camping, we were all very pleased with the beautifully kept site.
The facilities were well set out and kept in scrupulous order the dog walking areas more than sufficient.
We all enjoyed the choices and quality of the food in the Buzzards restaurant.
Most of all the staff cannot do enough to make sure you have an enjoyable stay, .
There was an unfortunate incident with a fellow camper which could have spoilt our stay completely but due to the strong fair way the staff dealt with it, our party carried on and had a wonderful holiday at Bingham.
I and the rest of our party cannot praise the staff at Bingham Grange enough. Top marks!
Thank You

We have visited this site three times now and intend making this one of our annual trips.
Bingham Grange is probably one of the most 'dog friendly' Tranquil, Adult Only sites we have visited yet. On arrival you are given a substantial supply of 'poo bags' to last the duration of your stay. Poo bins are dotted around the site and at various points on the beautiful dog walk.
The dog walk can be accessed at four or five points around the site but we usually start at the grassy area dappled in shade by various trees. We then take the woodland walk down to the stream, which is always a god send on a hot day. From there your can follow the river Brit along to the nearest town of Bridport or through the fields to many dog friendly pubs.
The added benefit of this site is the Buzzards Restaurant (not to be confused with a clubhouse) which offers a good variety of meals on its menu, all of which can either be plated or boxed up to be taken back to your pitch. We have had various meals over our visits and I must say the portions are very generous and good value for money. It's a bonus on 'put-up' day as it's always nice to have a good meal at the end of the day rather than dashing off to do the weekly shop.
There are five unisex bathrooms to the front of the main building, two new bathrooms to the back and the usual male and female toilet/shower blocks. These are all very clean and immaculate and even when the site is almost full to capacity, we have never had to queue for a shower yet.
With regards to previous negative comments about the cutting of the grass or hedges. Everybody wants to have a nice clean and well kept site to visit and unless these jobs and general repairs were maintained, then the site would not live up to the reputation is deserves. You cannot leave the site unkept from March to October when it is open and other tranquil sites we have visited all have to cut the grass on a regular basis.
The staff and owners of the site were friendly and always at hand should you need them in anyway.
Therefore, I would recommend this site to anybody who visits Dorset.

We had Easter weekend here with friends and can only say that from the welcome, the pitches, the whole site, the toilets, the restaurant, the bar, the dog walk.
There are not words to explain howmuch effort must have gone into this sites offer
We were very impressed, as we are b&b. Owners we know how hard it is to supply such quality clean facilities and service on a site like this
This is truly one of the best we have stayed at
Many thanks to all the staff here

My wife and I Were very pleased with the site and its staff. It was meticulously clean with excellent dog walks, and they made us very welcome. The restaurant served us excellent take away meals which were brought down to us in the smoking area by the entrance to buzzards restaurant. It was a pleasent week that we spent in their company with every one around us so friendly. We would recommend this site to our friends and lok forward to staying there again in the future.

Stayed here for 3 nights recently. We had a nice large hard standing pitch screened by high hedges on 3 sides, with our own grass area and water/drainage.
The restaurant on-site did all its meals as takeaways, which was handy seeing there is nowhere to eat in or outside with dogs. Food was good. Very tiny shop in reception, but quite well stocked with basics, papers, milk, bread etc.
Good shower/toilet facilities, some individual rooms. Great dog walking area on site, heading down to a river at the bottom, can't believe some people still don't pick up after their dogs, my husband ended up with some on his shoe, luckily noticed before he got back in the van! It makes me so cross, bags & bins are provided!
Negatives - noisy trials bike most of Sunday when we arrived, and quite often dogs howling off site (not sure if there is a kennels nearby?). Also Mon/Tue grass cutting went on all day, so not very relaxing to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine.

About the third time we have stayed at this adults only site, both camping and caravanning and the site just seems to get better and better over the years. Lovely hedged off pitches. Hotel style bathrooms. Maybe could do with another water and waste for the pitches behind the barn. Restaurant super food, nice atmosphere. The town is close by, as is horseriding and fishing. Hive beach is a must. Will be back.

Just returned from a slightly disappointing visit to Bingham Grange. The pitch that we were directed to (they don't offer the facility of choice) used to be a pitch designed for tents and as such we felt it was frankly unsuitable for a motorhome being down the end of a fairly steep long driveway covered in gravel, making it very difficult to maneouvre and impossible to drive up without skidding. It was also not at all level and even though we had levelling blocks we were unable to compensate for the extent of the uneveness. The toilet blocks were again surprisingly disappointing. Frankly the much publicised 'loo of the year' award is confusing to say the least. The individual shower rooms were clearly tired and in need of some attention and didn't even have electric hand dryers. They provided a paper towel dispenser with green paper towels - not what we were expexcting at all. The water whilst lovely and hot barely trickled from the shower heads and this was in at least four of the five individual shower rooms. The silicone around the base of the shower doors was discoloured in most rooms and green in one! Very off putting. The number of washrooms to the number of pitches is clearly inadequate and I dread to think what would have happened if the park had been full to capacity. Luckily it was very quiet even though we were told that they were fully booked! Staff were pleasant but not over friendly and on a number of occasions didn't even smile. The only saving grace was the fabulous Buzzards restaurant which was the silver lining in an otherwise rather grey holiday - despite five days of glorious sunshine. I have been to a six other tranquil sites and would return to all of them. Would I comeback here? As a stop over MAYBE. I could live without the dog howling dawn chorus, the lack of decent shower facilities and the luke warm welcome from most of the staff.

The site was lovely and the facilities were among the best we have seen. There is a great dog walk on site and dog waste bags and bins provided. Which is always good when you are charged for your dog. The only downside was we could not use the on site bar and restaurant as we have a dog. We did not know we could not take dog in until we got there, which was a shame. However we did find a great pub in Bridport call the Ropemakers which welcomed dogs and had great food.
As others have said the pitches are awkward to get out of if you have other units nearby, we had to manually turn our caravan around before exiting the site as there was no room to tow straight from the pitch.
Staff were friendly and helpful. The site itself is immaculate and well kept. It was a little pricy but all in all a very good site.
