 We stayed at this site for 8 nights with our touring caravan on a serviced hardstanding pitch. The site is in a truly beautiful spot and we were lucky to get a pitch with a partial sea view. It’s lovely being right on the cliff top with stunning views and a short but steep walk down to a lovely unspoilt shingle beach.
The camp site is generally well kept and the pitches are tidy but rather on the small side. The toilet blocks are dated but adequate although they could have been cleaner and should have been checked more often.
The restaurant and bar were well run and the food was good and a reasonable price. The shop and reception were also good
The pool and gym were a very good standard and clean and well run. You do pay extra to use them though. We appreciated the adult only swim time as we didn’t have any young children in our party.
There is a good Morrisons Supermarket at Bridport and West Bay, a lively harbour, is a nice, scenic 1 mile stroll along the coast path.
We chose the site because our 18 year old son and his girlfriend were coming with us and we wanted something a bit more lively than the caravan club sites we normally use but we didn’t want it to be too commercial. In that respect it fitted the bill perfectly.
The main downside for us was people not following the rules and no wardens around to enforce them. Lots of people pitched incorrectly and parked their cars on the wrong side of their caravans making small pitches even smaller.
Overall we had a good time and some good trips out to Lyme Regis, Beer, Weymouth and Portland. We were also very lucky with the weather!

My husband I enjoyed a lovely week here - the pool, sauna and steam room was a lovely extra, to look forward to in the evenings, after long walks in the day,
The bus stops at Bridport - and we found a safe walk back to the site,
The food was really good - and we are very fussy everything seemed to be homemade!
Facilities were great too lots of toilets and 4 showers. Everyone was very friendly and we felt very welcome.
We were also pleased that we were able to chose our own pitch! We would recommend this site to anyone

Lovely location a short walk from a beach. We stayed for a weekend with a couple of friends who brought their caravan as well.
Large site, with every conceivable type of pitch, shop, club and swimming pool. The shop was quite large with lots of variety, but we didn't use the club or pool. We were on a grass pitch and it was quite peaceful. Had to search around for a grey waste point, though. Shower/toilet blocks were clean and functional.
All in all a very enjoyable weekend and we would go again.

My wife and I are trying to emulate the BBC programme by driving round the UK coastline.
This site was recommended by friends who had worked there in the past as staff. It stood up to all our expectations and as we visited in low season, we got the pick of the pitches and parked at the very top of the cliffs with magnificent views of the local coastline and a spectacular sunset! Facilities were spotless and extensive if a little too commercial for our personal liking but the staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly. We would certainly recommend this site - especially for the location, local coastal walking and views.

Wow! what a find. The awning nearly took off the 1st night.
The site itself was lovely. Reception girls were friendly and helpful.
The shop stocked everything you would need. We didn't use the pool as there wasn't time after our fossiling trips to Lyme Regis.
We did use the the bar. They had a hog roast outside which was great and the fireworks were great for the kids.
Despite the site being busy the showers, toilets and washing up facilities were both spotless and not particularly busy.
The showers were always hot and very spacious.
My only complaint would be that the site at night is not well lit. Take a torch.
I am glad we stayed there but sadly will not return due to the high winds. If you don't require an awning this will not be a problem.
The sunrise and sunset are beautiful and that alone is worth a visit

I have to admit I was worried by all the other reviews on this site when our friends suggested we stayed here. It was the wind versus our lovely new tent that I was worried about.
The site is lovely, my first impression was of a well kept road/drive leading up to the main entrance. The reception staff were helpful when explaining our choice of pitches although not very talkative when I explained my fears of high winds.
We had a pitch with our back to a hedge, just over the crest of the hill (with EHU). Our pitch was pretty level, but towards either end of the field there was quite a pronounced slope.
The toilet, chemical disposal and washing up block was large, and I believe there were 2 or 3 on site.
The clubhouse was very nice, although busy and served lovely food (full menu and bar). They opened up another section on our arrival, so had plenty of capacity.
The swimming pool was £3 per session for adults, but was a really good size and was quiet as well, which was a nice surprise, but may be busy during peak periods.
There is a shop next to reception which sells just about anything you could need or may have forgotten. Even a variety of individual pegs, which may come in handy for some.
The only downside was the wind. We had stunning weather for 2 days, but on the 2nd night, the wind got up and we ended up taking down our awning in the early hours of the morning in the howling wind. You are right on top of a cliff, so very exposed. No harm done though. The plus side of this though was that both sunrise and sunset gave stunning views.
If you could guarantee the wind would be low then I would definitely visit again without a doubt, however it really did put me off. If you are not a worrier like me, or you are in a motorhome or caravan then you'll love it.

Put aside any worries you will have when you drive through the park. There are lots of static units and you begin to think uh oh. Trust me this will pass when you see the beautiful views from the cliffs and large pitches. We thought that perhaps some more quick growing hedges need to be put in to provide more shelter for tents. I believe at least 2 were abandoned due to a storm on 22nd.
The park is clean and very well maintained and appointed. Reception staff are very welcoming and helpful. The shop and information area next door is great. It has all the essentials and is not over-priced.
Toilets, private wash areas, and large shower cubicles are kept very clean, and we never encountered any problems. But then we didn't really get up until 1030. So they had probably be cleaned by then.
The bar and restaurant is very welcoming and comfortable. Dogs are allowed inside. There is a take-away service (we did not use this, but it seemed to be very popular) Prices in the bar is very good and the standard of the food is lovely. If you want Sunday Lunch you must book ahead, this gets booked up very quickly.
Swiming Pool, Gym and Sauna were lovely. Cost £4.40 for my husband and daughter when they wanted to use it. But if you plan to swim every day then you can purchase a booklet which gives you 7 swims at a slightly reduced price.
Washing facilities are very good, cost of a wash was £3 and Dryers were £1 for 80 mins. However, there are only 2 washers and 2 dryers, both large capacity and washloads take about 30 mins.
There are also a number of washing up points, and plenty of water taps around the site.
Although we couldn't have picked a worse week weatherwise, it was still a fabulous site.
For views from your tent, pitch on Area 3 (be careful of the wind though) For the not so brave, camp in Area 2. There is a children's play area.
Places to Visit:
Dorchester's Teddy Bear Museum, Dinosaur Museum and the Terracotta warriors were great. The Mummies Museum was really disappointing, but at the time we visited they also had the Tutankamun Exhibition which was lovely.
Weymouth's SeaLife centre is expsenive and not really worth the money (but it was raining on our visit)
Bridport - Little market town, and holds a town market on Weds & Sats.
Lyme Regis - Just because I didn't like this place, doesn't mean you shouldn't avoid it. It is a popular town especially for the beach, but I didn't find it too dog friendly. There are a number of places to eat and The Old WatchHouse on the Cobb is great for fresh fish.

Just returned from a week here, site pitches are a very good size, lots of water and waste points around. The section for the tents is at the back of the site and there is only one area for toilets and showers which as you can imagine gets very very busy in the mornings (we had friends staying there also in a tent).
The site staff are very helpful and the club house is good. Food and bar were good value and there is a play area next to them so the little ones could play while we had some food.
The pool was good, expensive for the week and for us too deep as my little boy couldn't touch the bottom. (We really needed a smaller pool).
It's very high up so expect high winds (came back to see the awning flapping in the wind and someone kindly removed our windbreak.)
The beach is 10 minutes walk but no sand. You have to drive to another beach to get the sand. However, some great walks around we managed an early morning run up the hills. Hard work but well worth it.
Lyme Regis is a great little place to wonder round, Fossil hunting is also worth a go at Charmouth.
Would we go again, perhaps when the kids are older to take advantage of the facilities better.

When we first arrived at the site we thought we had made a horrible mistake, you have to drive through the static caravan park to reach the campsite, there are a lot of these vans and they are close together, our holiday hell.
However once through the static site one passes through a small entrance into the main camping area with a toilet/shower block immediately on the right. Driving slowly the outward appearance of the facilities looked modern and well presented.
We drove on towards the area recommended to us. There was a choice of several pitches (all large in comparison to many campsites) and we chose the one most suitable for us. This offered us some protection against the wind, but put us in a good position near two toilet blocks, without being too close to them.
We put up the tent and investigated the site. Both toilet blocks were clean and very usable, the showers provided plenty of room to keep clothes dry, plenty of hooks for clothes, towels etc. There is a substantial laundry room with washers and dryers, and several ironing boards with irons, on this trip we had no cause to use them, though I can imagine they could be useful.
My airbed was punctured and well used, like almost anything you could want on a campsite one was available in the shop at a very reasonable price. Although small it is an Aladdin’s cave, with very helpful and friendly staff.
The beach is easy to reach, but a steep climb back up. There are a number of footpaths from the campsite along the cliffs and inland.
The entire site was spotlessly clean and well maintained, the grass was cut to a good height for tents, the price was very reasonable with free showers, I could not find a single fault with the site.

I really liked it here and will be going back again.
PROS:
A good range of pitches- electric or non, facing the sea or West Bay
Great facilities which were fairly clean
Nice swimming pool
Great coastal path walks
Close to Bridport town centre
Nice play park for the kids
Will freeze ice blocks
CONS:
Pitches are designated so you can't pick your own which is a shame
The facilities especially the washing up area could be cleaner
Many of the locks on the toilets were missing
The swimming pool is very expensive (only needed if the weather is poor)
The tourers (not statics on site) dominate the pitches too much
The shop is not that useful
