 I have been to this site at least once every year since 2000. I've recommended it to friends and family who also have returned time and time again.

It's quite a basic site but you can also use the facilities on the sister site on the other side of the road, swimming pool, club house etc. There is a small shop on both sites that stocks the essentials.

It's a good idea to pitch at the top end of the site as the toilets/showers have recently been replaced, at the other end the toilets/showers are in desperate need of replacing!

There is a lovely walk down to Chisel Beach only for residents that is worth doing.

I try and book a pitch with EHU as these pitches are a lot flatter than those without.

Weymouth sea front is 10 mins in the car, it's a good idea to use the park and ride near Morrisons though as parking is expensive.

We will def be back. See you in 2013

 Fantastic location, great views. Small playground and basics in shop but site was twinned with another about 10 min walk away which had a large shop, outdoor pool and clubhouse which did reasonable meals and had entertainment.

The view over chesil beach really is spectacular, although it can get a very windy at times. (take a kite) There are walls and trees to act as windbreaks and I imagine in spring? autumn getting behind one of these would be a must.

Good showers and washing areas, and small laundrette, everywhere clean and tidy and friendly staff although they were a bit funny about charging mobile phones etc off the mains.

Had the basic pitch but would go for the electric hook up next time as these had the best locations.

 Lovely campsite. The photos are a bit deceptive. We thought we would get sea views but only a few pitches that provide this. Nice shop (the lady was friendly!) Modern shower block the bees knees, but the old one could do with being replaced. Both kept very clean. Short walk to sister campsite with pool. Only did that once. Pool way to packed to be enjoyed! If we went back to the area we would go to that site again, but lots more areas to explore first!

 We had been recommended by friends to stay at Sea Barn. On driving onto the site the views are amazing. We checked in only to find the ladies not that friendly and did not really know about walking the coastal path and could not really give us any ideas on what to do within the local area (The sister campsite 5 mins walk away, the staff were very different and a young lad told us all we needed to know about the coastal paths)

It was a very windy weekend so we opted for a more sheltered area behind the new shower block. Lovely views over fields. We had plenty of room but guess in high season would be very busy.

The shower block is modern and clean, just a shame the other one further into the campsite is not the same, that is very old and the showers were busy as I guess most people use the modern one and I can not blame them.

The sister campsite is open to use, they have an outdoor pool and each time we walked over there people were using it. The new club house is lovely and they have an adults only drinking area. They offer meals and some of the meat is from Sea Barn farm well worth trying, especially the sausages with breakfast.

Would certainly be going back probably out of season to avoid too many people. Just for the views it is worth it, be prepared for a windy stay as its right on the coast.

Weymouth by road is a few miles away and a lovely place to visit, the new tower gives great views. We went up on the 8th day after opening. If going you need to get your tickets from the Tourist Board as they are over £2 cheaper than at the tower itself.

The Tourist Board is about 50 yards on the right as you walk to the tower.

 We arrived with trepidation following the other reviews about rude staff and strict enforcement of site rules.

We needn't have worried our encounters with the staff were perfectly pleasant and not once did the infamous patrols come round threatening to throw anyone out!

We had an EHU near the new toilet/shower block behind a row of trees so the view was obscured but we were sheltered from the breeze. The toilet/showers are first class and our stay was thoroughly enjoyable.

This is a great site so don't believe everything you read and give it a go.

 I went with my daughter, and 12 year old grandson for 3 days over the Jubilee weekend. It was our first camping trip. I found the Reception very helpful, they even squeezed us in for an extra night!

My Grandson loved the adventure playground and outside pool. The site was quiet with plenty of room for the tent and car even though they were fully booked.

We had 4 tents opposite which were all one family so we thought there might be a noise issue, but come 11pm all went quiet as per regulations.

The toilet block and showers were fine and we never had to queue. They had a club house on site but we never heard any noise from it.

All in all, a great weekend

 Just returned from our first visit to the site. We were excited at being on the Jurassic Coast and getting the chance to see Chesil beach.

It was the Jubilee weekend and expected it was going to be busy. We were checked in quickly and found a great central pitch. The 20 feet from another tent was certainly stretched, however, we found the campsite still spacious as a whole.

The toilets and showers were spotless despite how busy the campsite and found the little shop useful and sufficiently stocked and staff helpful.

We went to Sealife Park and Tank Museum in the local area, as well strolling down to the beach. There is still much more to see and are already planning our next visit.

 We have just returned from an eight night stay at Seabarn Campsite and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The site is one of three sister sites and is the quietest of the three. This is probably because the only facility (apart from toilets / showers / laundry / washup) is a small children’s playground which has a minimal amount of apparatus. However both other sites are within walking distance and have food & drink facilities, West Fleet also has an outdoor swimming pool.

We were given a level sheltered pitch (with EHU) as requested, which was a decent size. As previous reviewers have pointed out there is an old shower/toilet block and a new one built in 2008. They are both kept very clean and although I used the toilets and washbasins in the old block, I declined to try the showers as there were no shelves for my specs or toiletries – just a couple of hooks. The showers in the new block are much better designed. The water was always hot although the showers aren’t that powerful. There are two private family bathrooms which are not unlocked until 8. 15am which I felt was a bit late for people with children.

Whilst on the subject of toilets and showers I noticed that as soon as the bank holiday weekend started and crowds of people arrived, the toilet/shower blocks soon suffered. Toilet paper was strewn everywhere, people didn’t seem to bother wiping their feet on the large mat just inside the door and the mops weren’t always used to clean the showers after use. It made me realise what a mammoth task it must be for the owners to keep the facilities clean.

Some reviewers moan about the rules of the campsite – if you don’t like them, don’t stay at the site. Most of us appreciate a “no noise after 11pm rule”. I think there are a lot of people – possibly new campers that don’t seem to realise just how far their voices carry at night.

There are wonderful views from the campsite but if you pitch your tent looking towards Chesil Beach/Fleet Lagoon, you do risk a lot of wind – depending on the weather, of course.

I would definitely like to return to this campsite.

 We have been going here for the past ten years and have to say I doubt we will again. The prices have gone through the roof. Nice site and nice views. Lovely walking down the fleet and fairly quiet at night.

Sister site is which has the pool is generally more packed.

Well worth taking a look at the church along the the road and learn how the fleet was flooded.

Not to far from weymouth and westbay area so get the best of both by staying here.

Reviewer: Hoggle1066 2 reviews from this member

 This was our first visit to this site. On arrival the shop was closed, so going by the notice on the door we pitched (EHU) and then registered once the shop opened. Here is when the fun began. I had telephoned the booking through and paid the £60 deposit. On registering at the shop I was informed they had no knowledge of us. The person I had spoken to had booked us into the wrong site. The female in the shop did not offer to transfer our booking until I specifically asked for that to be done. Once I asked then things got a bit smoother. The lady in the shop is obviously not a smiler but the gentleman is very pleasant and helpful.

There were only two on the EHU on arrival and the site was very peaceful. As with previous reviews fields were roped off and there were limited areas to pitch. What was interesting were the patrols. On our final two nights we observed rope being removed by the campers as they wanted that pitch and a campfire (banned) in the pitch behind us.

The location and views are outstanding, and the site was exceptionally clean including the toilets and shower blocks. The new block is outstanding but the old block by the EHU are clean and adequate for a shower.

One point is beware of the speeding locals in the lanes leading to the campsites, their average speed seems to be 60mph!

The shop is well stocked but I found slightly expensive.

Would I return, probably at a push.
