 We found the site well maintained, toilets/showers, laundry and washing-up area spotlessly clean. Wardens were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and although busy always had time for us. Site very dog friendly with lovely shady woodland walks which due to the hot weather the dogs enjoyed. We had requested a sheltered pitch for the comfort of the dogs which proved to be perfect for them. We will visit again. Thank you.

Reviewer: JuanHuNose 7 reviews from this member

 First visit to the site and this particular area, and was sadly not impressed. The C&MC will have to spend a fortune to bring the site up to standard, the current arrangement has very cramped pitches and what facilities there are are very clean but simply not enough for the number of pitches.

There are some seasonal pitches (a hangover from the previous owners tenure) and those who used the site prior to the sale of the site to the C&MC were openly resentful of C&MC members trespassing on `their` site. Sadly, sulking won`t change the world.

The wardens were first class, polite and very helpful, and the bar/restaurant staff were excellent. The menu wasn`t vast, but the food we had was of restaurant quality at pub food prices, cooked fresh, well presented and really tasty.

I don`t think we will return, as there is very little to do in the immediate area, and in the short term the C&MC are taking the mick with charging top-dollar prices for a cramped and badly laid-out site with no internet, only 10amp electric and a lack of water/waste water/chemical disposal points.

 Sad Demise of a Fabulous Site (Bingham Grange)

Gutted to see that Bingham Grange is no longer privately owned and is now part of the CMC club.

The takeover happened early April, it was May when we first saw this via social media, hardly the way to win over the original customers. It was in fact the middle of May before we received a letter from CMC stating the change. Surely CMC should have had this in place at the time of the takeover, also early May the website was still the original. We did eventually get through to them to confirm our booking, they had even changed the phone number! They hardly ever answer the phone with it going to VM after about 5 rings, took several days.

My husband and I have been coming here for many years and loved the friendliness of the previous owners and staff and off course that fact that is was ‘Adults only’ we loved the peace and tranquillity. As part of the CMC the site will now be welcoming families and like many we will not be returning sadly. They had the first lot of kids over the late Bank Holiday weekend which to us was odd as had previously been an adult only site

Another major attraction was the wonderful Buzzards restaurant which now has a new chef as the previous one decided not to stay under the new ownership. The menu now is very limited and a fellow camper advised us to give it a miss as now nothing special. We never saw it busy when we looked in, such a shame as always full on previous visits. We obviously knew about the restaurant but the new office staff were not telling people it was there let alone handing out a menu.

If you are a non-member wishing to stay you are charged a fee by CMC even before you pay for yourselves and your tent/ caravan/ motorhome making it so much more expensive than when it was privately owned.

On arrival we found they had got rid of the freezer and when you are in a tent not what you need, just to freeze ice packs to keep food cold. Was told by reception staff CMC don’t allow them!

They tried to put us on another pitch having confirmed on the phone they would honour our original request, now don’t put tents on that grass area, just caravans and motorhomes. On looking at the pitch we saw our 7x5 tent would not fit only to be told CMC rules only allow 5x5 tents, offered a refund instantly. We were meeting friends and the booking was a year old, hardly about to ‘turn and burn’ to face a 2. 5-hour trip back home. They eventually put us on a pitch which we have stayed on before but told the tent had to be in the middle of the white disc. These are on a lot of the pitches now. Both women were very arrogant and not really interested. The manager is the same, got the impression not interested in the adult only customers and was told CMC have 37, 000 members! It was the first time we have stayed when not fill and reading other reviews, lots of cancellations. You no longer get shown to your pitch, just given a map with the highlighted route

We will not be returning and the grapevine was busy saying major changes during the winter with the bulldozers arriving

 Just back from Bingham Grange, it is everything that others have said, best showers ever in the single rooms(though need more hooks for hanging clothes up) the other showers in the block are very clean and perfectly adequate, though a little chilly this morning (not sure if they have heating) good pitches with hedges for seclusion, very well kept and quiet. It has just been bought by the Caravan and Motorhome Club and although in the middle of a handover the staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. We believe it will stop being adults only very soon and accept families, just hoping that standards won't drop!

Reviewer: Jaw498 6 reviews from this member

 We had a lovely 5 night stay at Bingham Grange despite the very wet weather at the beginning. Our pitch was more than adequate for our needs. We liked that all pitches are clearly defined by hedges which gives privacy as well as avoiding any arguments over space. There were clearly defined parking spaces and all weather tracks.

The site is predominantly used by caravans and motorhomes (we were the only tent!) but were made to feel welcome nonetheless. Facilities are more than you could ask for and washrooms immaculate.

Set back from the main road, the site is very tranquil and there is open countryside to the rear with a public footpath which we made use of. Situated close to Melplash and Bridport, shops were only a short drive away.

Thank you Bingham Grange - we will be back!

Reviewer: Retired of IOW 16 reviews from this member

 Stayed here for a week and loved it. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The site is lovely, each standing is divided by a hedge and large enough for our rather large awning. It is very peaceful and great for the local bus into Bridport, just hail the bus in the layby and it will stop for you. The facilities are as described before, 5*. There are individual shower rooms, with toilet, basin and shower and I never had to queue. The Buzzards bar serves real ales and excellent food, we ate there 3 times in our 7 night day stay.

We went into Bridport for the market on the Saturday, which was excellent, lots of stalls up the high street and off towards the square. We went into Seaton and had a trip on the tram up the estuary to Colyton and back which was lovely. Would recommend this site and will definitely be back.

 Another return visit to this immaculate adults only site for us.

We had been let down by our previously booked site (thanks Caravan & Motorhome Club!) so called Bingham Grange on Sunday morning to check availability. They were so friendly and helpful and said we could arrive from 11am if the pitch was free so we booked for 3 nights. It fell into their mid season price range and they offer £. 150 off per night for a 3 night stay if you mention it!

Friendly check in and lovely warden took us to our pitch. Small motorhome pitch (width not length) with a patch of grass for sitting out and EHU with water and waste.

A short walk, literally, to the facilities. The 2 shower rooms at the back are 5* and we were lucky to be able to use them every day (well timed!). There are further shower rooms to the front of the building near the reception, shop, information room and indoor washing up room and more toilets/showers to the rear.

The great thing about the site, other than it being adults only, is the Buzzards Bar, their own bar/restaurant on site.

Great 'landlord' and friendly efficient staff.

The food was great in the bar, lovely choice and not over priced. We decided to take away and eat in our motorhome one night. It was Indian night and although it was well priced and plentiful it didn't quite hit the spice spot. Personal taste though.

Bus stop just outside the site in the layby (request stop) and at £3. 40 per adult return to Bridport not expensive. We did it twice and spent one day wandering around the antique shops of Bridport and the other walking to West Bay and back.

Adults only heaven for us and we'll be back.

Reviewer: Chezzle 3 reviews from this member

 Lovely tidy adults only campsite, with a mixture of caravan, motorhome and tent pitches set on a gradually sloping site. We stayed here over August Bank holiday and for a few days after. We booked an electric pitch for our 7. 5 x 7. 2 tent. The tent fitted on the pitch with space around and room for our car. It was made private by the planting of hedges and trees around each pitch. There is one main block at the top of the site consisting of a reception with a small shop, launderette with microwave, freezer and washing up facilities and at the front there is a disabled bathroom and about 4 shower/toilet rooms, around the side there is outdoor washing up and around the back there are separate male and female toilets and showers, which are locked if it is quiet, there are also 2 larger bathrooms with a nicely tiled shower. All the facilities are kept clean and tidy by the maintenance team as is the whole site. Above the facilities there is a welcome bar/restaurant that serves some lovely food which can be eaten out or in.

It is a dog friendly site with some lovely walks off the site and in the local area. We found a friendly atmosphere on the site and it is in a beautiful part of the country with lots of beaches to choose from, we were very lucky with the weather, so don't know how the ground gets at the bottom of the site when wet. There is a dog kennels nearby and you can hear it at certain times but it's not overbearing. We will definitely be back.

 Sadly our experience was different to that of previous reviewers.

We arrived on a Wednesday afternoon and were immediately made to feel slightly uneasy as the lady in reception asked us how we had slipped under the radar and and hadn't paid the outstanding balance. We hadn't known about it so didn't pay it but did so without question. The lady seemed a little disorganised, saying we hadn't included a dog on our booking, which was a little strange as she had 2 minutes earlier handed us some dog poo bags! We were then shown to our pitch was not a fully serviced pitch, as we had thought. On the way to the pitch, the warden showing us the way, had instructed us to 'stay on the tarmac, on the way down the hill, which we did, only to ground the rear of the caravan on a severe dip in the road. If he had said, keep the caravan on the tarmac, we would have been able to avoid it and would not have damaged the caravan!

We were very disappointed to find that a site claiming itself to be 'dog friendly' didn't allow dogs in the bar!

We also saw the 'dogs must be kept on a lead' rule being flouted, and ignored by one of the wardens, chatting to the owner of two golden Labradors running freely across all the other pitches!

The site itself is actually really nice, if not a little cramped, with so many pitches. There also seems to be a lack of facilities considering the number of pitches!

There are some lovely views and nice walks but considering what they charge, I think they could provide a few more showers, and FREE wifi instead of charging for it!

Reviewer: Simon59 8 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for peace and quiet being adults only. Firstly we had a trailer tent on the next pitch so could hear everything they had on their tv and 3 pitches away 2 men with 2 dogs that barked every time anyone walked past, so peace and quiet we didn't get. The site was nice with hedges dividing each pitch but found them to be very close together, we felt like we were in a car park they were that close. My next moan was the showers, it was nice to have a toilet in them but the showers were dreadful, so much water coming out I flooded the floor outside the cubicle. The good side was the restaurant, it was very reasonable and the food was top notch, but we wouldn't stay here again.

 This is a fantastic adult only park. Tranquil park set in lovely well maintained grounds with secluded pitches. Dogs are very welcomed but must be kept on lead. There is a lovely woodland walk around the campsite. Large pitches with or without electric hook up. Hard standing for caravans and campervans. Buzzards restaurant and bar is on site and the food is delicious. The restaurant can become very busy and is not open every night, a takeaway service is also available. Toilets and showers are cleaned to a high standard. Staff are extremely friendly and have a great sense of humour. There is a small shop which sells all your basics requirements. Laundry room, microwave and freezer available for your ice packs. Campsite is situated just outside Bridport. Nearest beach/ sea front is the famous West Bay (aka Broadchurch). This is a great base for exploring. There a several walks available around the area, with local pubs on route. The cost per pitch, per night is a little dear but you do not mind paying this for a well run site. We have visited three times in the past two years and really like it. We will be going back again.

 This site is everything it claims to be and more. The site is easy to find and access. Extremely friendly helpful staff, excellent showers and toilets and a great restaurant which even does takeaways, ideal when you have dogs. The pitches are flat and very spacious and the whole site is so peaceful. The dog walk through the wood is lovely.

 Just spent three days here with my partner and our furry daughter. Lady at reception had us guided to our pitch, which was well kept, clean and private. All the staff were helpful and polite during our stay. The toilets and showers are clean and modern. The on-site restaurant is excellent and reasonably priced. We will return here next year as this has to be one of the best adult only sites in the UK. Our furry daughter Lily particularly enjoyed the walks next to the site. There is lots to do and see and all within easy reach. If you are looking for peace, cleanliness, pleasant surroundings and good service, it's all here.

 We have stayed on many UK campsites and this is by far the best. The facilities are fantastic, the staff

Are extremely friendly and very helpful. The restaurant is excellent serving great food with a super efficient service. Great location, lovely setting and so tranquil. The down side. There isn't one.

Reviewer: Dawn2 8 reviews from this member

 First time stay at this site. This is an amazing adults only camping and caravaning site. The staff all wear orange tops so they are easy to spot and there are so many of them! They are very friendly and were extremely helpful when we had a problem with our tent. The reception block contains everything you need, a small shop that stocks a range of essentials including milk and newspapers (there is an additional charge of 20p for the papers). There are plenty of showers and toilets, some are unisex but they are immaculate. Two sinks for washing up (this can become a little busy) and a utilities room that has washing machines, tumble dryers, sink area, ironing facility, microwave and small freezer for ice packs. Above the facility block is a very good restaurant, not open all the time. The pitches are of a generous size and each pitch is secluded by hedgerow. They are well maintained and have a mixture of hard standing for vans and caravans and grass for tents, most of which are with electric hook up. The site is dog friendly and provides a lovely dog walk around the perimeter. From the site various walks are accessible and directions can be downloaded from the website. One of the walks that we completed was a walk through the fields along the river to the pub, which had a beautiful garden to sit in. The campsite itself is located in the countryside and is approximately 2 miles outside of Bridport with plenty of supermarkets nearby. The nearest coast is West Bay (Broadchurch).

This is a clean and well maintained site and well worth a visit. We will definitely be returning.
