When we stayed they had had bad rain and we were upgraded FOC to a hardstanding pitch which was a terraced pitch with plenty of room from our neighbours.
The site is quite large but feels small with the paddocked areas poor recycling facilities which is a bit of a downside and could be improved also quite a walk for the chemical disposal point- dependent on your pitch but may cause problems for some.
Shop seemed to be well stocked with lots of local information. Staff were friendly, toilet/showers very clean, nice & spacey. Excellent dog walk through woods possibly one of the best we have seen.
Site is a little bit isolated however walks are possible into Lyme Regis but there no bus route via the site therefore a 15 min walk back although the bus did stop especially for us at a junction. Local pub a short drive - not really for walking to as down a busy main road and a little far, supermarket is a 10 min drive away in Axminster.
Not much at Charmouth however Beer is definitely worth a visit as a quaint fishing village. All in all a very nice site.
We stayed at charmouth for 3 nights mid july. Originally we booked for 2 but decided to stay an extra night which was not a problem. On check in we were told we had been relocated to a hardstanding pitch as due to recent weather the grass pitches were unsuitable for our van but this was not a problem and I appreciate the site for doing this for us. The staff were always very helpful.
The site was lovely with hedgerows and well managed gardens and the safety of children had been well thought about with a small path leading up to a good play area.
The stock in the shop was limited but we were given directions to a local farm shop and supermarket.
The bathrooms were clean and well managed however it was a problem them being closed for an hour and a half each day for cleaning between 10:30 and 12 I think it was. We were told the family room would be accessible during this time but this was also closed for cleaning.
Wouldn't it be better to close after 12 when most campers are out for the day or have checked out? It did become an inconvenience for my son and when we were having days out as we were unable to use the loo before heading off which meant searching for public loos being the first task each place we visited.
It also meant that showers became very busy first thing with everyone rushing to the 2 cubicles before they were closed. I understand that this has to be done but a little later would help the morning rush. Overall though this was not a major problem just a niggle.
Overall this was a great site with good size pitches and very family friendly. I would recommend to anyone.
Superb site, we will visit again. There was heavy rain for the first part of our visit and our trailer tent ended up in the path of a stream! The staff sorted us out with an all weather pitch and the problem was resolved.
Although it was a pain to take everything down and set up again, it certainly made our holiday a lot more comfortable and dry! The site itself has fantastic free showers, wash rooms, under cover washing facilities and a laundry. It is all tidy and well manicured. A joy to look upon.
Not too far to visit Lyme Regis, Charmouth, West Bay, Bridport, Seaton and Sea Town (a lovely beach and ideal for fossil hunters)
Lyme Regis has many many places to eat and drink, great individual shops and plenty of pubs.
We called in at a lovely pub just outside of Yawl where we met a lovely mother and daughter duo of bar staff! I cant remember the name of the place so you will just have to look out for the place if you pass through!
If you need to get shopping in, call at either Tescos in Seaton or Morrisons in Bridport. They both sell Cornish ale in bottles, brewed by Skinners who do a range of Betty Stoggs, Ginger Tosser and Cornish Knocker. Try the local brew of Otter ale if you can.
We visited the Lyme Bay Brewery and bought a few of their own ales. A lovely place to visit with a cheesemongers, art gallery, cafes and a gift shop.
Very friendly campsite. Taken to our pitch, everything explained to us, dog walk pointed out.
Dog walk through woods with poo bins provided.
Showers and toilets very clean and warm. Piping hot showers.
Very large pitches plenty of room on the hard standing for van and awning and them a very large expanse of grass for BBQ, dog tether, table and chairs.
5 mins away from charmouth beach where you can hunt for fossils and 10 mins away from Lyme Regis.
All in all a very nice friendly clean site which we shall visit again when in the area. Small playground for children but more an adult site I would say.
Small shop on site but well stocked.
Only complaint, rather expensive at £22 per night.
This is a big spacious siteof 129 acres with both grass and hardstanding pitches which are well spaced and mostly flat. There are large grassed and planted areas and two play areas. There is a small dog walking area, The woodland across road is no longer available for dog walkers.
Previous reviews praised the toilets. There are two blocks, The larger one has large shower cubicles washbasins and toilets it also has a family room during our visit the water was not hot. This block is closed for cleaning after lunch.
The smaller toilet block which serves half the site has small domestic type shower cubicles washbasins and family room. This toilet block was closed for cleaning from 10. 30- 12 although the family room is left open.
Both toilet blocks are dated but scrupulously clean and checked several times daily There is a large caravan storage compound and many regular visitors who utilise the sites tow out service.
The site is one mile from the nearest bus stop along the main A35 with limited footpaths.
The nearest supermarket in Bridport is 7 miles away. The best feature of this site is the staff. The small army of wardens are without exception warm, friendly and helpful they also man the well stocked site shop.
Two catering vans visit on Saturday and Wednesday both providing good food at reasonable prices. The location necessitates transport. Walking maps and information are available from reception (some requiring a deposit).
Set in 15 acres of breathtaking countryside,right next door to the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, this site offers stunning views of the Chesil Bank, Fleet Lagoon, and Lyme Bay. Welcoming tents, motorhomes and caravans, this family friendly site offers spacious grass pitches with or without electric. For kids there's an outdoor heated swimming pool, 3 acre playing area including slides, swings and more.
Facilities include toilets, showers, washing up, launderette, and WifI. There is an onsite shop and off-licence. The Bar in the Barn at the site serves a delicious food and offers a variety of entertainment, including live music. As well as the attractions of Weymouth's beach and harbour, this is a great base to explore family attractions throughout South and West Dorset. Find out more here
Just returned from visiting this site with children and a dog.
The lower part of the site is very nicely landscaped for caravans and tents wanting electric. Tents not wanting electric seem to be confined to a very large field on a hill at the top of the site. This could be windy.
The normal C&CC rules didn't seem to apply and we were told we could pitch anywhere in the field. No mention of the 6m rule. However most people did abide by this. The field was sloping and noise could be heard from the main road.
Drinking water was from a stand pipe with no waste water. Shower block was quite a trek but you got used to it and they were clean with nice big showers. The shop was very well stocked and open long hours. Dogs have to be on the lead the whole time, even on the dog walk. At the entrance to the site just across the road is a wood where the dog could run.
Wardens were very friendly when we checked in and there was always someone on hand to help. The children's playgrounds were excellent and a lot better than most C&CC sites keeping the kids entertained. Would go back but might consider paying for a grass with electric pitch for better location. Location is ideal for Lyme Regis which is a lovely seaside town, in Axminister is Tescos for food shopping.
Spent just under two weeks here at the back end of July. We booked a little late so opted for one of the All Weather Pitches, which as it turns out are excellent. The base being predominantly chalk meant that the pegs had top be put in a little harder than when on grass, but apart from that there was no issue with erecting our tent.
The other good thing about the All Weather Pitches is that they are in I would describe as a cul-de-sac. We had pitch 37 (which was huge) which was tucked away in the corner, which was excellent as our 3 year old daughter could run around to her hearts content without the worry of passing cars.
As is expected the toilet facilities were excellent, probably the best we’ve been to, spotlessly clean and a good size. We had use of the parent and child room also which again was very nice.
The staff were always very helpful and polite and always seemed very busy. The only negative we would give is that it does get very busy and on more that one occasion we had to queue for the showers, but that being said we would not hesitate in going back.
All in all probably the best C & CC site we have been to.
Terrible site - don't go there! Good, now you won't bother & it'll stay nice & quiet for us when we revisit, which we will.
Best showers & toilets we've come across, nice wet room style showers, so no nasty shower curtain to blow against you &, best of all, no push button shower & set temperature, you're treated like an adult and allowed to be trusted to turn the shower off & select your own temperature - this is in the stone block close to reception, the newer block further along has shower cubicles.
Just off A35 so touring a dream, closer to Lyme Regis, especially if you go the back way via the turning at Hunters Lodge pub which'll take you to Car Park at top of west end of Lyme.
Lyme Regis lovely, not much in Charmouth except the beach. Dogs only allowed on Monmouth beach in Lyme in Summer, nicer beach for a couple of hours is Eype, just off A35 in Dorchester direction
Enjoyed a very pleasant 3 night stay with our dog and although relatively new to Motor- Homing this would have to be our favourite site so far.
The facilities are really 5 star. The showers are huge and free! The site is really well kept and beautifully laid out.
The pitches are spacious and well served by water points and bins located everywhere and emptied daily which meant that I did not see any rubbish anywhere.
The showers only close for cleaning in the afternoon which is far more convenient than the usual morning cleaning. The laundry facilities were great and open until 8pm in the evening which is really useful.
There was a jacket potato van on site on the Saturday night that we arrived which seemed quite popular. Reception staff was both friendly and helpful and there was a fairly well stocked shop.
I purchased 3 days wi-fi for £8 which I thought was a little expensive but the signal was good and the service was reliable.
There is a dog walking area at the rear of the site through woods and also an adjacent field. Unfortunately, dogs have to be on a lead at all times but the field was enclosed and perfect for a little ‘off lead’ run around. It would be great if the site would reconsider this as our canine friends need a little exercise and socialisation on their holiday too!
The weather was not good for our stay but we made the most of our time and enjoyed everything the site has to offer.
Lyme Regis and Charmouth can be reached by public transport (dog friendly). The bus stop is just down the side of the road by the Talbot Arms pub which is about a 25 minute walk from the site.
We went in to the pub for a drink whilst waiting for the bus and despite Sunday lunches being served they made us and our dog very welcome. We didn’t get off the bus at Lyme Regis but it looked very busy indeed.
Charmouth is much quieter with a nice beach although dogs not allowed on it in peak season. There are some lovely views from the hills surrounding the beaches.
To summarise this really is a first class site in the perfect area for discovering the dramatic and beautiful Jurassic coast. Would definitely recommend.
Previously stayed at this site 5 or so years ago in a tent, was + still is one of the best sites we've been to, don't make a habit of going back to sites prefer to explore new ones but this site was worth it.
Since our first visit it has expanded into what was Monkton Wylde campsite. Only used the toilet + shower block near to reception which were the original C+CC facilities + they are the best we've ever used.
Didn't have to wait or queue despite the site being full, though I am an early starter. Found the wardens absolutely perfect, very helpful but not intrusive.
Visited the 'River Cottage Canteen' in nearby Axminster for an excellent meal + night out, enjoyed visiting Lyme Regis, walking up Golden Cap near Charmouth + had an enjoyable day on the Seaton Tramway, which are all less than 10 miles away.
All in all a great well laid out site in an area with lots to do, will return + wont leave it 5 years next time.
