Wanted to get away again before school started and this campsite grabbed us because we saw it walking from Eweleaze (see other review) and looked to be more what we wanted.
Site was well laid out over what must have been 4 or 5 old fields with some of the hedges left in place providing some cover from the elements (although not an issue on our few days).
Showers/loos/dish washing facilities all good - two blocks at either end of site so never much of a walk (although some people still drove!). Site is next to footpath and only a short walk to the 'beach' and Smugglers Inn (busy, food OK but not too special, some nice real ales though).
The beach is not really much of a beach although there is a small one to the west but despite that our children loved it as the rock-pools were fabulous with interesting weeds, anemones, fish, crabs and whelks etc. Promising fishing spot as well - saw someone catch two bass from the rocks in the space of 5 minutes (from starting).
Back to the campsite - staff seemed fine and the shop was adequate with some essentials and gas etc. Seemed reasonable value for the rate - I guess it might get a bit crammed in the height of summer at capacity but seemed roomy enough in early September.
One gripe - if a campsite says it does not take groups then you would sort of reasonably expect it to not take them. Groups are invariably the source of noise later one in the day and there was some here from two groups on the site.
Overall a good campsite in a great location and we would go back.

Great campsite. Amazing views down a valley to the sea. Very clean toilet blocks, both of them were good. The upper one has better showers as there's a dry area in each cubicle with a hook for clothes etc.
Nice playground on site. Our 7 year old loved it. The nearly 9 year old was less impressed.
Shop had everything you might need. It is on the more expensive side, but showers and hot water are free unlike some other sites.
The walking is great along the coast path.
Smugglers pub is about 10 minute walk away (at small child pace). It's in a great location but the food we had was appalling, I would only go there for a drink in future. The pub in the village (Sunray? or something like that) had much better food and a play area for kids.
Only minor niggle about the site is the attitude of the staff, they were curt almost to the point of being unfriendly. A smile occasionally would have been pleasant.

Excellent site within easy reach of Weymouth and Durdle Door etc. Facilities were very good - although hot water at top toilet block stopped working for a short while one day. However, a very large (second) block not too far away, and this was always very clean.
There's a great fish and chip shop not to far away on the road into Weymouth (the one on the corner - not the second one).
The site hires out BBQ stands for tray BBQ's, although next time I'll take my own protable one. Great views of the sea, well stocked shop and friendly site staff. All in all, I would definitely recommend!

Came here due to planned site waterlogged.
A late 50's couple
Parked close to entry gate at top of site as unsure if motorhome would get stuck in the field.
Very quiet so had easy access to showers, very clean. However I feel the 2 blocks would be a struggle to cope if site full(200+ pitches)
No hookups but not an issue to us. It just seems to be a tent camping site rather than motorhomes so as not to spoil the level and perfect cut grass
Reasonable little shop on site.
Reasonable price for pitch.
If you want a short walk down the lane you will find one of Englands finest fair weather pubs you could ever hope to come across. Child friendly in fine weather, The Smugglers, and the sun sets over the garden, Cheers !
Beach access not that great but if you want fishing or horse riding this is the place.
Good position to take car to surrounding area's of Weymouth for fun and life or Lulworth Cove for it beauty and Swanage for lazy pace and good fish n chips.

We just LOVE this place, laidback, no marked pitches, sea views, relaxing, quiet and on a clear night just the most amazing star filled sky.
Toilet block very clean, small shop which has most things you need and warden on site.
It is a little expensive but it is worth every penny just for where it is.
We have tried the Smugglers Inn down the road for food, first time it was ok and the second time it was terrible, not going to chance food a third time maybe just a drink?
Coast walks have just the best veiws and there is a great beach at Ringstead (dogs allowed all year)about 25mins walk east.
This is Dorset at it's best and many thanks to the owners who should be very proud of their campsite and the service they provide.

My husband, me and the dog, found this site by accident after a disaster booking at another site.
The staff on the phone were very helpful and gave great direction to the site.
On arrival we were told to find a space and put up our tent, the views are stunning and the walks for the dog are excellent.
Very clean toilet blocks and plenty of showers never found ourselves needing to queue and they were free!
Loved the fact it was quiet, shop stocked essentials which were reasonably priced
We had one meal at the pub at the end of the road which was handy but wouldn't go every night as prices reflected the fact it was well located!
Very impressed was a little more expensive than some sites in the area but definitely worth the price for the views alone, we will definitely be returning in 2012
