 What a great site! Near the beach, plenty to do and a lively atmosphere.
There is definitely a welcome eco vibe, with compost loos and solar showers.
Be warned though, much of the site is sloping so flat pitches are at a premium.
We had a great time, and soon got used to sleeping on a slope.

Absolutely brilliant! This site depends entirely on the type of camper you are. Yes there are compost toilets but once you get used to them it's no big deal.
We never experienced any problems such as lack of sawdust etc. And to be honest the toilets are the only thing to be aware off but please do not be put off by them - its just a different and ecological way of the farm providing a campsite.
And what a campsite it is! Stunning scenery, it's own beach (shingle beach) fantastic shops. Now when I say shops they're more of a pop up type shop accommodated within sheds type of thing. There is a coffee shop, pizzeria, bakers, ice cream and others where you can get something to eat.
All the shop area is basically in a paddock and all the camping fields surround this area making it a type of hub to which everyone goes to pick up odds and sods as they see fit. There is also a animal petting areas for young kids - when we were there they had border collie puppies which my kids adored.
The best way I can explain this site is that it is like a festival feel without the festival. There is loads and loads of space so you never feel you're jammed in check-by-jowl. We were there the time of the Weymouth Festival on the other side of the bay so we had the added treat of the Red Arrows flying over.
Everyone congregated in the field at the top of the cliff to watch. This is a fantastic site for family groups (not sure if there is a limit) I went there with my three daughters and the dog. Noise is not a problem and just a truly great feel to it with a great community atmosphere.
Every camper should go to Eweleaze at least once! We will definitely be going again.

The scenery around this campsite is truly beautiful which is why this was our fourth stay there. I personally find the facilities a bit sparse though in terms of a shortage of loos and washing up in each field. There's always a queue at peak times and very often outside of this. My one big gripe this year was the noise around the site.
I expect there to be a bit of noise at weekends but this year our last night was completely spoiled by a bunch a 20 year olds turning up and proceeding to drink through most of the night. I personally didn't get to sleep until 4am. I know that at least 5 people complained at the bunch and to the camp security.
At 3am the security guard threatened to have the group marched off by the police. He then left and they started up again. I think he should have followed through with this theat. I personally don't see why we had to put up with such a racket given the high price that we paid to stay there. I may have to reconsider staying there in future.
I've camped out 20 nights this year so far and this last occasion at this site was terrible. I did confront the bunch the next morning but I don't think that's acceptable for customers to have to do this, the site manager should have taken action the night before.

We stay here each year and no other campsite has yet to compare. Getting busier each year but still love it.
Facilities fab, vibe amazing. Its a very special place. So much fun on site and so incredibly relaxed.
Walking distance to Weymouth and lovely nearby walks. LOVE THIS PLACE!

I stayed here for 3 nights in August 2015 following several days of rain. As a result the site was very muddy. Cars were getting stuck all over the place and the area around the shop, bakery, etc was ankle deep. Most of the staff we met were very friendly and helpful - although the guys controlling the traffic on the track seem to have let their power, yellow coats and walkie talkies go to their heads - not very welcoming.
As others have said this is like a festival site but without the music. It is huge and was very busy. If that's your thing - come to this site and you'll probably enjoy it. We went here at the suggestion of friends but while it might suit others, it's not my kind of camping. I like small, quiet sites with privacy - not a view of over 100 tents and loads of kids running around. I think the facilities are overwhelmed by the number of people staying and need an upgrade to cope with poor weather.
Some people will love it. I guess it's a matter of taste. I'm going back to my small sites!

Love this site! I first visited 4 years ago and good as it was then it is even better now. Despite the awful late August weather my 3 sons had a blast.
Freedom to roam, campfires, the pontoon, the Turkish bath, the hay barn, all great. Loads of very helpful staff on hand, toilets plentiful and clean, lots of pot wash sinks in the fields with hot water, decent showers, sauna always full of wood for the fire.
And very reasonably priced. Averaging £40 per night over the 6 nights (prices depend on w/e or weekday)

We camped 5 nights in August for the second year at Eweleaze such beautiful sea views with it's own beach. The road onto the site is not a major problem it's bumpy and hilly but that's what adds to its charm.
If you like the place you'll put up with it only used the car to arrive and leave, walked everywhere and used local bus service. Plenty of lovely walks to pubs and local shops, some aren't buggy friendly though. The walk to Weymouth is not far or get a bus from the village. This site is big with plenty of space with different fields, it has an informal atmosphere you choose where you pitch.
Facilities are quite rustic but very good, plenty of toilets (compost), showers and washing up facilities. I've read conflicting reviews on other sites, two times we've stayed I've never had to queue for the toilet or shower. Our field had 6 toilets spaced apart around the field, two washing up and stand pipes for drinking water and a block of four showers. But some fields were busier than ours.
Shop stocks good healthy food (nothing processed) daughter was upset at the lack of Dr pepper and sweets. There are basic camping spares and children's games in case something gets broken or forgotten. Bakery with organic bread and croissants, pizza, organic pies, chips all cooked on site plus a little restaurant. Big barn of hay for kids to play also logs sold for campfires. Lovely goats, pigs, cows, ponies, puppies, llamas (I think) even kittens to cuddle.
We had a campfire most evenings as did lots of others, it did get quite smoky one night but people were very responsible in where they lit their fires. For me this is a big plus because the week was quite damp.
On the whole a great campsite, if you don't like the sound of kids playing and people enjoying themselves then it's not for you.

We stayed for three nights with three other families in their own tents.
The good points were:
1. The location (especially beautiful in the fabulous sunshine we were lucky enough to enjoy)
2. The flexible space – we appreciated being able to pitch our tents wherever we chose, and we had plenty of space for our group of four tents
3. The facilities - excellent restaurant, very good shops
4. The eco-friendly aspect - the composting loos (though smelly) and solar panels
5. The animals
6. The haystacks and other activities for small children
7. The ability to have camp fires
The bad points were:
1. The number of people completely overwhelmed the facilities, leading to.
2. L-O-N-G queues for almost everything, e. G. 50 minutes for pizzas
3. A lack of hot water for showers and washing up several times a day
4. A complete lack of water at times (we were in Top Field and all the nearby taps repeatedly ran dry)
5. The narrow access road meant that it took us 20 minutes to get out of Eweleaze on departure
6. The restaurant only accepted cash so we had to join the long queue at Reception to get cash back to pay for our meal there
7. The washing and washing up facilities are all uncovered, which would be horrible in rain
With most campsites I would be tempted to go back during a quieter time but as Eweleaze is only open during August there IS no quieter time. Therefore we will not be returning. It's a great shame - with half as many campers it would probably be wonderful.

I was going to go to Eweleaze Farm in 2013, but I was not too sure about composting toilets to be honest. Well having been now in 2014 I can safety say they are simply not an issue at all, very clean toilets and the above surface (the important part) is just like any other toilet.
The campsite itself is very large and there is plenty of room to pitch up, the only negative I found were not the drive down which I know many feel scared about, but I really feel the site needs to put in some passing points as the farm track is very narrow and moving a few posts in the opposite field temporary whilst the site is open, is small thing that would make a big difference in my view.
What I loved most of all was the beach and pontoon, really lovely setting and for what you pay, it really takes camping back to where is should be, a cheap friendly experience.
Shops were great to have on site, although ice was hard to get hold of, but enjoyed the ice creams and bakery, I was going to have a pizza as well but the queues were huge.
I would definitely recommend it and will be going again next year at some point, I will just take more food with me and invest in a better ice box, so I don't have to pop out to local shops, as mentioned above, getting out can be very tricky indeed.
All in all a great find, but I really hope they consider passing points for next year, it will make getting in and out of the site so much quicker and easier.
