The site is primarily known as 'Monkton Wyld' - CCC Handbook calls it Charmouth but it could equally have been called Axminster or Lyme Regis as it's as close to these towns.
One of the best CCC sites ever but for newcomers to CCC, don't think it's typical - we paid the same (relatively steep) price elsewhere in Dorset for far less luxurious facilities on another CCC site. Hotel-quality toilet block closed for cleaning after lunch, not when you need to use it in the morning which is more usual. Spacious wet rooms, not push-button poky shower cubicles. Free hair dryer! The laundry does not close in the evening just when you want to use it, which is the norm. Our terraced pitch was spacious - a full 15m wide (ideal for being converted to a static pitch, as on other parts of the site) and far in excess of the CCC '6 metre rule'. Lots of trees and flowering shrubs. The Wardens were friendly, helpful and (again, not typical) seemed to lay on things for youngsters to do.
For dog owners, there's a small dog walk in a new wood on site, or unlimited walking in the woods just over the road. The Handbook says it's 'near to' Charmouth's sandy beaches and we'd seen ourselves walking the dog from the pitch to the sea. But it's a 3 mile walk down a steep hill and 3 miles back up. Be aware that dogs aren't allowed on all the beaches, or may only be allowed on them out of high season - TIC has a useful leaflet.
For motorhome owners, there's a full motorhome service bay with grey water gully. We found both Charmouth and Lyme Regis a nightmare to park in: both towns have a large car park on higher ground on the eastern approach with dedicated motorhome spaces in the far corner. Another tip -collect a range of coins before you come, as you need them for parking fees (no change given). And be careful to pay the right fee - in some car parks, motorhomes count as 'commercial' vehicles.
We had this site recommended to us and it was everything we were told! We had a lovely stay at this site in August, the staff were so friendly – nothing was too much trouble! We were really pleased with the pitch we had, the distance from camping field to facilities was explained but wasn’t a problem at all using the new woodland path. The facilities on the site were really nice, shower blocks were spotless, both blocks had laundries and the shop was really well stocked - very handy!
We will definitely use this site again and recommend it!
Stayed here the last weekend of Half Term. Could not recommend the site highly enough the staff were brilliant putting us in a small paddock with other tent people.
The toilets and showers were some, no the best I have ever experienced while camping. The shop is well stocked and reasonably priced.
We when looking for fossils and found loads this was a great site in a great place.
Only note was you could just here the road if the wind was in the right direction but you would have to be hyper sensitive to let it keep you awake.
This was the first site we had ever used as total virgins of camping or caravanning and, looking back, it sets a high standard which we have yet to see elsewhere.
The pitches are spacious and the division of the site into smaller areas with hedging makes for a cosy feel. In addition, the toilet and shower facilities are extremely well maintained and even though there can be a queue for these on occasion it didn't detract from our stay.
We would therefore highly recommend it for all the reasons already stated by other reviewers and will have no hesitation in re-booking later this year.
Clean, well spaced pitches, two shower blocks, two washers/dryers, very well maintained, sensible cleaning times (1.30pm for the main block), very friendly staff. Bins in each 'pod' and emptied daily. Two play areas for kids. Hardstanding was on light gravel so no big lumps underfoot and drained well. Pitches were really spacious. No charge for accessing parent and child room. Well stocked shop. Access to site easy and site was well located for access to loads of great places, Seaton, Sidmouth, Charmouth, Jurassic coast. One slight niggle, there were queues for the showers daily. With a site of this size, another shower block would be useful especially during peak holiday period. If the layout was rearranged you would get another two showers in there with not much hassle. Would definitely return to this site.
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
We have just got back from a lovely week at this camp site. We stayed in the Safari tent - amazing! It had everything you needed and having a young child it was perfect & made things allot easier.
On arrival the staff in reception where very friendly and nice :)
The toilets, showers, dish washing area & laundry all so spotlessly clean!
Our tent location was perfect as we was right next door to the playground so my son just thought he had a massive garden for a wk!
The location was perfect for the beach, Tesco supermarket is only a 10 min drive away, the walking was superb we had some lovely days out we hired a map from reception on 1 of the days and we walked to Lyme regis so the next day we bought a map and did our own thing.
Fish & chips on site is also a great idea it saved the washing up & cooking for the evening.
I would definitely return to this site 10 out of 10
Absolutely excellent facilities mark this site out as something special - even for a camping and caravan club site. The toilets and showers are spotless and several toilets have their own basin in the cubical. The site is near the wonderful Anchor pub at Seatown which does excellent food and is right on the beach. Lyme Regis is nearby for local shopping (who needs a supermarket when there are good local shops). We visited Pecorama at Beer and can recommend it - the model railway layouts are superb.
There is one downside to the site, the noise from the road which is intrusive and makes a county site feel like you are in a city. There is plenty of space so just ask for a pitch away from the road. In all we thoroughly recommend the site.
This was our 1st club site visit which had been recommended to us, booked on the family deal as there was 5 of us which we thought was reasonable compared to other private site had quoted in the area. We were greeted by friendly staff who helped us as well as showing us to our pitch. We had a nice pitch with hardstanding the water point / elsan point were all near by.
There was a shop on site were you could get your basic needs, they also sold local produce as well. There are 2 play areas on site, 1 small area to suit kids 3 to 5, my kids ( 6, 9, 13 ) all played up the big park area where it kept them entertained all holiday with kids of there own age. The toilet & shower blocks were well maintained with plenty of hot water.
Te closest town was Axminster which was small and narrow, not modern at all, the only modern place was Tescos near the train station. Bridport was a big town with a high street and a big Morrisions, this is around 8 miles from the site. I recommend you go there as there are other useful shops as well as a street market. We visited Lyme Regis a few times and took advantage of the park and ride near to the site. It was a lot cheaper than trying to park your car in the town and it also dropped you down in front of the beach ( big steep hill ). Charmouth & Seatown have not much to offer in my opinion. We also had a day out at Weymouth which was a good family day out.
The only gripe we had that there was not a local pub where we could go and have a meal without driving. We enjoyed our stay and were surrounded by good weather friendly / helpful nice people. We have all ready booked to go again next year. Would recommend to young families.
Booked this through ClubRez whilst at another site, as we decided to extend our holiday and go to the coast! booked to arrive friday of a bank holiday weekend and it was very, very busy! But the wardens were still friendly, polite and helpful we didn't have any chocks so they sorted some out for us! We asked to be near the play area and were a little concerned that although the play area was right behind us and we could still hear the kids we couldn't actually see them! Turned out not to be too bad a problem but we do prefer to keep an eye on them! (for the record there are no pitches that overlook the park!) nice clean facilities although the showers were dirty in the morning (there was a mop for people to mop out after themselves which I did, but it would appear a lot of people obviously didn't! Maybe this was because of the lack of a sign?) The site shop is handy and stocks all necessary essentials, failing that the Tesco's in Axminster! We took part in the car treasure hunt (in aid of a local charity) which we thoroughly enjoyed didn't get all the answers right but we didn't do to badly! Highly recommend the treasure hunt fills a rainy day if nothing else and gives your brain a workout wilst seeing the local area at the same time! Would like to see more of these at sites! Found loads of fossils at Charmouth Beach, look for the grey flattish stones as we spent a whole afternoon cracking open the wrong type!
It was larger than we had expected, but it was fabulous. The main shower block was the best I have ever seen. The site in general was well kept and the staff very helpful and informative.
We were in one of the paddock areas, which are well protected from the elements and very quiet, I wouldn`t have been happy to be on the tent camp site as it was beside a main road with very little protection.
The location is fantastic 5 mins from both Lyme Regis, Axminster and Charmouth, only downside no local pub, with a supermarket in Axminster.
All in all a great site we will highly recommend.
