 Went with 2 friends and we had a good time,

For us the park was good and well maintained, at time of me writing this review, measures put in place for social distancing are more than good enough.

 This was a perfect site for us to use as a base to travel out and see Dorset and Devon.

Approx' 5 miles from Lyme Regis which is beautiful also approx' 3 miles from Seaton, which was also lovely, the tramway, was nice and worth a visit.

The site facilities were excellent, very clean toilet and Shower blocks.

It also has a small shop for your essentials if you ran out. I. E bread, milk etc.

The owner, Margaret was so so friendly, and nothing was too much trouble.

Reviewer: Ged600 47 reviews from this member

 On arrivaline we booked in with a young lady who showed me our pitch it was a bit tight and close to other vanners. The owner arrived on a golf cart and showed me another pitch a lot better than the other one so awning up and kettle on.

This is a well laid out site with shower blocks all over we were at the bottom field as we had no young kids. The block is built onto the shop with proper showers and loo's these were popular so you had to be quick or wait. I used the other blocks and no problem.

We had a dog there's a long dog walk with dog waste bins at either end. There's a cafe at an old petrol station just outside the site and a club for night time we didn't use either.

Lyme Regis is a lovely seaside town with cafes pubs restaurants museums all over. There's a lovely harbour also. All along the coast there are lovely quaint fishing villages within a 1 hour drive Braunton was one with loads of history and a lovely walk down to the beach.

Well cared for site not many walks within the site or nearby but we had a OS map with us.

If we return to the area next year would certainly stay here again.

Reviewer: RIMMER 207 reviews from this member

 A mainly grass site in the village of Rouson, very quiet at night. On arrival we were told we could pitch were we wanted and I noticed a very relaxed attitude on this site.

The toilet block by the reception is very modern, the other less so. Nothing much in the village except a social club where campers are welcomed however the site shop is well stocked.

An hourly bus runs from the village to Lyme Regis and the other way to Seaton until about 7. 30pm.

 Second visit to this wonderful site. Spotlessly clean as usual. So quiet and relaxing. The owner and her staff are extremely helpful and accommodating.

Fantastic sunsets. Little Social Club in village very friendly. Highly recommend if you want to chill.

 Really nice and tidy site with neat pitches and good facilities. Well stocked shop.

Quiet site with nice dog walk.

On a main road and this was the third site we had stayed at during our fortnight away and found this was the least cycle friendly. It was very difficult to get anywhere without Having to use the main road for at least some of the way.

Lime Regis is a lovely town with lovely views nice eateries and beach. Also went to Sidmouth which is beautiful. Bridport I’d miss! Although west bay beach there was lovely

Would come again for sure

Reviewer: BIG DAVE 13 reviews from this member

 Just spent 2 weeks at this beautiful park. Absolutely spotless grounds. Superb toilet facilities.

Ideal location for visiting all the nearby coastal resorts. Quietest site I have ever been to.

Very good shop on site. Nearest supermarket about 4 miles away in Seaton ( Tesco ). Also plenty of takeaways.

Bonus was local Social Club 2 minutes walk away welcomes campers.

My only very slight moan is there is no barrier / gate at entrance to stop anyone from just driving in.

Also was quite a few commercial vehicles on site but they were fine.

Would recommend this site to anyone wanting a peaceful site.

There is a very good children's play area which is well away from the adults only area.

Reviewer: Mirabelle 37 reviews from this member

 Unfortunately we had just had a dreadful experience at a site we were due to stay at so were very relieved to arrive at the Shrubbery.

It is lovely well cared for and maintained site with good facilities, plenty of water taps and bin areas.

It is ideally located on the Devon/Dorset border in Rousden near Lyme Regis and ideal for visiting the surrounding areas.

We went to local Rousden show on the Sunday which was both interesting and charming, we enjoyed seeing the local produce etc and Mr Bumble was a hit with our 6 yr old Niece! they are obviously making a real effort to preserve the show and deserve for it to do well.

The staff were friendly and accommodating and work hard to keep the site looking it's best.

Shrubbery is a site we would return to.

Reviewer: SadieKemp 6 reviews from this member

 We stayed a couple of nights here so we could go fossil hunting at the beautiful town of Lyme Regis, which is only a short drive away. We went swimming in the sea there too.

You could park all day for only 2 pounds so was great value. The campsite was very well maintained and friendly.

There wasn't a lot to do near the campsite though, you needed to drive for entertainment.

A lovely relaxed site for chilling out.

 Found this treasure of a site. Has everything you need and more. Staff very friendly and helpful, always about.

Only took 5 minutes to get to Lyme Regis, lovely place and further on West bay.

Interesting place, though watch out for the seagulls, snatched food from our hands.

Will return to this site, the kids will love the play area.

 Spent a lovely time here for a few days. Buses not frequent but ran to time to Lyme Regis and good connections to other places. Well kept site very neat and tidy mostly flat.

Showers brilliant and some with central heating. Good launderette too.

Good dog walk. Nothing negative to say about this campsite.

Would return again.

Reviewer: TimCESmith 78 reviews from this member

 This is a gently sloping site beside a relatively quiet A road. It’s mainly grass with some hardstandings, and very popular with caravanists. There are odd cuboids of mature, boxy hedging, some of which have lamp posts poking out of the top.

The grass was thinning, though not bare, with a zillion worm casts & claggy mud oozing through, particularly after a bout of torrential rain which took ages to drain from the topsoil. It took plastic pegs readily. Make sure you use a footprint: ours came up smelling like a sewer after a damp week.

Amenities are in three separate blocks – a heated one at the ‘top’ which was out of action, a hugely high ceilinged, unheated one in the middle of the park, and at the bottom is the shop / reception and exhaustingly over heated ablutions, featuring showers, lavatories and a bathroom.

The bottom ablutions were the most popular, with swanky fittings, tiled wetroom floors and smart lavatories.

They are hot enough to do you in like Empress Fausta, low ceilinged and under ventilated. Consequently there’s a valiant battle being fought against mould and you’re unlikely ever to see yourself in a mirror. The u-bends on the wash basins are discreetly covered, which looks pretty, but it means you can’t get at the traps to unblock them, so the sinks drain sloooowly.

The bathroom with its little bath is very good though, and worth booking for an extra quid if the key hasn’t gone missing again. I found the unheated middle block was more usable.

The washing up sinks are all under overhanging roofs but otherwise open to the elements. There are birds nesting above all of them, which is charming but –ahem– unhygienic. The laundry is cheap but the machines are not terribly good. Our stuff didn’t get very clean and dryer no. 3 doesn’t dry. It just heats.

The shop is good and attractively laid out, though there was little stock when we visited right at the end of the season. The staff are helpful and friendly, though some are brighter and more organized than others, and it’s all very well kept. There’s a substantial play park and we had a hilarious half hour or so on the crazy golf (75p each).

EHU is only 10A. I asked a few times about doubling this up by paying for a second one and using a second lead but don’t think I explained myself clearly enough, and just got blank looks.

To sum up, it’s a pleasant environment, but the views aren’t spectacular and you don’t get a strong sense of place. It’s a good site for out of season camping in the area if you’re not into the singing and dancing holiday parks over by Charmouth.

The main competition is Hook Farm in Uplyme, which has more charm (and more owls) but is on a steep north facing slope and rather dreary & dank at this time of year. The Shrubbery is also handier for Seaton, which is pulling itself up by its bootstraps.

The new Seaton Jurassic centre is excellent; there are sometimes good things on at Seaton Gateway, and the enormous Tesco is very handy and right next door to the tramway.

Reviewer: Anna.west 1 review from this member

 Booked a last minute 3 night break at the end of the school holidays, easy to book over the phone, with just a deposit to pay.

Easy to find, great location for Lyme Regis and exploring West Dorset/East Devon. Nice reception on arrival, talked us through where we could pitch, lots of choice for us to pitch where we liked, we chose pitch 69 which is in the central area between the two central toilet blocks and within viewing of the play park, it also had a light nearby which was handy in the evening!

There are 3 amenity blocks, the best bathroom facilities (which includes a bathroom -key needed) are behind reception, there's a block in the middle of the park and then another at the top which is the one we tended to use, as they were slightly newer than the middle and were nice and bright during the night! This had their own self contained showers, which were nice, good hot water, was on push button which can be annoying but not terrible. I would have liked a small shelf in the cubicle to put bottles on.

The kids (10 & 4) loved the play equipment and were happy to go off and play and still be in earshot/sight of our tent.

Their are 8 sinks for dishwashing, split between the middle and lower block but these were never busy, I presume as 70% of the park is caravans.

The shop sells bread, milk, eggs etc and we did a bigger shop at the large Tesco's in Seaton. THere's a tourist information room in the reception block which full of local information and leaflets, next door was the laundry with 3 tumble dryers, about 5 washing machines and two irons.

The first night I did notice the road noise even though we weren't right by it but after that I was used to it and we did have some night-time sea mist blowing by.

In conclusion, we'd recommend this as a great family site and will be booking for next year.

Reviewer: Wiggletastic 13 reviews from this member

 We camped at Shrubbery for 10 nights in August and had a lovely stay. The site is spacious and well laid out, very flat for pitching and has three choices of toilet/shower facilities. The top facilities block was closest to us and had a male and female toilet block and 4 individual shower rooms. Despite the site being very busy, we never had to wait for a shower in the morning. The camp shop is open from 8am to 8pm and has all the basics you might need. We had a choice of a few pitches and our chosen pitch overlooked the large play area which was ideal for our 7 year old daughter who had a great time playing with all the other children.

The site is close to loads of lovely places to visit in Dorset/Devon/Somerset. We had days out to the beach at Lyme Regis, the Donkey Sanctuary, Seaton Jurassic (interactive museum) and to Barrington Court (NT) - all highly recommended.
