 This was the second time we have stayed here with our friends and all of our children. This is a great site for people with young children. There is a good play area, which most of the pitches surround, so you can comfortably sit outside your tent happy that your little ones are safe. The staff are quietly helpful and non-obtrusive and the shop stocks the essentials.
Our only moan was the weather before we arrived. Two months of solid rain had left it's toll on the campsite. The barked areas under the swings and climbing frames were flooded over a foot deep. Our pitches were thick slime and we had no choice but to put the tents up on it. However, we were lucky the sun came out, and dried all the mud/silt to a fine white powder. However, a phone call from the site before arrival to for warn us would have been nice.
Convenient for Lyme Regis and Seaton. We will return again as the children had a fantastic time.

This was a great camp site with friendly staff, good clean toilets and showers with hot water. The pitches were level and some surrounded the safe childrens play area. A good idea if you have young ones to keep an eye on. This was our first camping trip as a family (2 young children) and we all really enjoyed it, this site had everything you need. Within a short drive you have lots of entertainment i.E beaches, rockpools, fossiling etc, a great site, we couldn't fault it.

Very clean and flat site. Two sets of toilets/showers. Both always clean. Always plenty of hot water. The only thing was that the hairdryer wasn't working at that time. But hand dryers available. We were in the non-electric area which was not very busy, therefore plenty of space. Drinking water taps all over the area which is very convenient. There is a nice little kids' playground a crazy golf ground. We didn't walk around the surroundings, so I cannot comment on the proximity of shops/pubs etc. By car, Lyme Regis is about 5mins drive. The site also has a small shop that sell all the basic stuff like milk, bread, toiletries etc. They also a freezer for ice pack. Overall lovely clean site and friendly, helpful staff. Recommended!

Stayed here for a week in a touring caravan with friends in a tent. They were really helpful and pitched us next to each other. The site was really flat which was nice. All the staff were really nice.
There's crazy golf onsite for a mere 50p which is good fun.
The shop stocks the essentials and some treats too.
It's a big site, but really well layed out. There's a few shower blocks although the toilets are in the same room as the showers, they're like proper bathrooms so you find there's often queues in the morning. Push button showers, but they stay on for ages and you can press as many times as you like, they're lovely & warm.
The nearest pub is about a mile away, but we never went, we were happy around the site.
Lyme Regis is only a couple of miles away which is a lovely little town with a nice beach.
We will be staying here again in the future. Lovely well maintained site.

Have to agree with all the previous reviews. We have already booked again for this year and for next (this campsite requires advance booking as they get fully booked for many weeks during the year advice book early.) We had the most amazing stay at the shrubbery. We are a family with two young children and require a high level of cleanliness. This site ticks all the boxes, not only have they plenty of showers and toilets but they are also really clean. They also have a family bathroom which has a full sized bath which was great to use when returning from the beach (only £1 absolute bargain).
They also have a really fantastic large play area and crazy golf which the children loved.
Even though the site was busy, the tents are carefully spaced with a reasonable distance between them and the site is nice and level. The shop is well stocked and they have a good laundrette.
The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and take pride in their campsite nothing is too much trouble.
The jurassic bus stops right outside and takes you anywhere along the coastline, regular service and extremely reasonable. There is also a social club nearby if you don't want to drive or Lyme Regis is 5 minutes in the car.
My advice would be book early to avoid disappointment, this site is very well priced and in a fantastic location to visit the jurassic coastline HAPPY CAMPING.

This was our maiden camping trip so I did heaps of research (mainly on this website) and luckily it paid off, this is a great site for families. We have two small boys (aged 3 & 5) and they loved the large play area. The tent field surrounds it so we could see them most of the time and they loved the freedom of being able to run off and play by themselves. The weather was sunny most of the time but rain the previous week did mean a lot of the site was very boggy. When we arrived though the friendly staff were very helpful in helping us find a dry pitch.
There are three shower blocks, all quite new and there was never a queue. There is a shop that sells pretty much everything you forget including fresh bread and milk. A great bonus for us, a family bathroom (with bath) can be hired for £1 if your kids are shower-phobic like ours! The tent field is next to the road so there is some noise but we quickly got used to it.
We loved Lyme Regis, but get there early in the day if you want to park close to town (though there is a park & ride). It's much more chilled early on, and the boys loved fossil hunting there - plus they have one of the few sandy beaches in the area. There are also plentiful cafes and a quaint dinosaur/fossil museum (Dinosaurland). Lots of other great beaches but take your beach shoes as many of them are shingle/pebbly and pretty painful! The caves at Beer are worth a look (but take a jumper) and Dorchester was great if you need some major shopping, we also went there for the cinema on a very wet day - not realising there was a cinema in Lyme Regis.
A great site, we'll definitely go there again when next down that way.

Outstanding site, friendly owners, clean, many great facilities including laundry, kiddies safe play area, lots of toilets and showers, shop selling basic but reasonably priced items, even a dedicated dog walk! I have to say that in 3 years this is the best site yet 10/10 (voted for by me (62 year old lady) a Westie called Harvery and Yorkie called Biorg). I forgot to say its mostly flat and the surrounding scenery is beautiful - and sunsets just gorgeous. The only downside is the bus service but if you have transport no problem. Lyme Regis is a unforgettable quaint seaside town but very hilly.

This is a lovely site, with clean facilities. The staff are very friendly and helpful. A lot of pitches over look the play park, which is a nice park with plenty to keep the kids entertained. We were on the non electric side which is by the busy road, but you get used to the noise which at night isn't very much. Very well placed site for the jurasic coast. Are going again this year, I would highly recommend.

We spent a fantastic week at the shrubbery site to be recommended to any camper. We had an electric hookup pitch which was spacious, peaceful and private (on edge of site). All facilities extremely clean. New block for shop, laundry etc superb.
The biggest asset ( one of many) that this site has are the owners and staff- they are very friendly and helpful - nothing is too much trouble. They even found us wonderful kennels that day boarded our dog whilst we were on the beach!
The facilities for children are excellent and its a very safe site
Superb location for visiting both Devon and Dorset attractions. We will definitely be visiting again

What a fantastic holiday! The site is clean and tidy with very friendly staff. Just round the corner is a socal club in the old church. We were made very welcome and they have a room full of FREE games for the children. There are two toilet blocks which were always immaculate. There was also a children's play area and mini golf.
We recommend you use the park and ride when visiting Lyme Regis. It's very reasonable and drops/collects from the Cobb. We have booked again for next August. Even though the site was full, there was absolutely nothing to complain about.

We arrived late at about 9.30 pm and found reception unmanned. Stumbled across the helpful owner who said that because we were just camping for one night we could just set up near the entrance. It cost us £11 for the pitch. Toliets were fine.

We stayed at this site for 3 nights after reading the fantastic reviews on ukcampsite.co.uk and we certainly were not disappointed in any way.
The owners and staff really take a personal pride in their site and it is obvious that they care about providing a high standard of service - doing all they possibly can to ensure that your stay is pleasant and enjoyable. Their site is beautifully maintained and has a high standard of cleanliness.
The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, the area is attractive and the piches are layed out thoughtfully -providing space and a degree of privacy.
The bins are emptied regularly throughout the day and there are plenty of water points. The mini golf and play areas provide great entertainment for adults and children alike and there are plenty of green areas for the odd game of cricket!
Even though the site was full during our visit, the washroom facilities were spotless at all times. Staff were in attendence regularly, ensuring a high standard of cleanliness. The showers were spacious and we had plenty of hot water at all times.
We have booked to return in 2006 and for three whole weeks this time (and that's from someone who used to hate camping - THIS SITE HAS CONVERTED ME!!)

Immaculately kept site. Toilet, showers etc spotless and bins emptied very frequently. Was quiet when we were there but was mid week. Very level pitches so great for motor caravans.
Limitless hot water in shower block but can't adjust temperature (temp ok though) and have to push button to get water every 10 seconds which can be a bit annoying.
Childrens play facilities excellent. Adequate shop and very friendly and helpful staff.
Negatives - no views. Near road but not busy, noisy or dangerous. Pitches are normal size, so expect neighbours especialy for pitches with elec hook up.
All in all, highly recommended site.

Our second visit to this site. We went back because it is excellent.
A family site through and through. Washing facilities are excellent and the site is as flat as they come.
There is a play park for the kids, a shop and petrol next door. The price is reasonable too. Most of all, the staff are very, very friendly. It makes a big difference.
If you want a simple family site near Lyme Regis, Seaton and Branscombe, then this is it!

Very nice site - well kept. Toilets were clean showers (push button). Little shop just as you come in. Plenty of space for pitching your tent (I had a five person) If you have kids, a big play area and you can watch them from your tent. There is a garage just out of the entrance that sells a lot of stuff as well. Site is only 5-10 min from Lyme Regis in a car.
A little bit of noise from the main road at night if you get a pitch next to it all. The staff where very friendly and helpful - it does get busy but not to0 bad.
Charmouth beach is just past Lyme Regis and its a nice beach. Plenty of parking and has a big camping shop there as well
Would go again very nice
