Arriving at this easy to find site, on a sunny maunday Thursday, it really was just a stones throw from Bridport. The site has spectacular views and the circular walk from the site down to the beach to chat to the fisherman, back up the cute windy road, with a stop at the hotel bar for a drink and across the foot path back on site.
Site facilities were one of the best; hot showers with cubicles big enough for a family, music. Nice touch! ;great laundry clean well equipped.
Food on site was locally sourced and home made, delicious and reasonable.
Leisure centre was again excellent, could have been warmer for the price.
One last point the site wardens were extremely helpful. Taxi to town was £6 for four not worth the hassle of parking.
Given the time of year we didn't book and got told on arrival we could select our pitch from those available. It was busier then expected for March and those with the sea views were packed in quite well, we opted for a quieter pitch away from the views.
Our pitch size was fine, but some of them did look a little cramped especially if you have a big unit.
For us the reason for staying was the great walks along the coastal path. Westbay is a nice stroll away and good for a fish n chip stop! Eype is also a stroll away down to the pub and also a licensed restaurant. Both were reasonably priced for an ale and food (although we didn't eat there).
This is a site we'll use again in the quiet season as I expect in summer it's a bit too busy for us.
Great views from this site as you are right up on the clifftop although as reviewers have mentioned before it can be extremely windy - so much so that on our final night I was kept awake for 2 hours due to the noise of the wind and the movement of the caravan!
We didn't bother to put our awning up and to be honest I was glad we didn't due to that wind.
The site itself is clean and well kept. The bar and restaurant are very pleasant and the staff were all cheerful and helpful. We ate once at the restaurant - would recommend the large curries, very tasty and absolutely enormous portions! I don't think we saw anyone actually finish one!
The children's play area was well equipped and in good condition, our 3 year old loved it.
We didn't use the swimming pool on this occasion.
As mentioned, West Bay is easily walkable but the hill coming back was a bit of a mission with a buggy and giving our 3 year old a piggy back the whole way! Also within easy reach are Lyme Regis (great beach), Bridport (pleasant town for a wander) and Charmouth (for fossiling. )
Our only complaint is that the pitches were quite close together and whilst there was no problem in terms of noise it did make them difficult to get into when arriving. Luckily we arrived on a Thursday and there were very few people there but by the Friday evening most pitches were taken and anyone without a motor mover was having great difficulty in backing their caravans in due to the tight angle needed.
Will definitely be investing in a motor mover as we would definitely not have got in (caravan is 6 berth so quite large) if we had arrived later.
This is our 2nd visit to Highlands End, and the weather was glorious. The site has amazing views and good coastal walks which even we can manage, and we consider the pitch sizes to be very generous.
The only downside this time was that a visiting CC rally had reserved all the best pitches, so although we arrived early the pitches were limited and the site was packed. On enquiring, we were told we would not be able to reserve a pitch in future as this was against site policy! One rule for the CC---.
We cannot fault the location of this site, and it is maintained very well. One small niggle is the short burst of hot water in the shower, necessitating repeatedly pushing the knob to restart the water.
We will definitely be returning to Highlands End as, although a large site, it feels open and spacious. With regard to the high winds, it is essential to invest in an awning strap to secure your awning or tent.
We were able to choose our own pitch from a selection of grass with hook up and were lucky enough to get one right on the edge by the fence with spectacular sea views. (Millinaires row so we were told) A very short walk to the huge dog excercise field where Rolf made lots of doggy friends. It is on a steep slope so not ony wore out the dogs but owners to.
Pitch was large and we did not feel cramped by other vans.
The area is good for exploring either by car or on foot some nice if hard walks from the campsite. West bay just a mile away over the cliff top. We went to the beacon which is virtually straight up then on to seatown for a drink in the nice pub. Charmouth is good for fossile hunting.
The on site facilities were also good nice little shop and tourist info. Wifi was the cheapest we have found did not use it though. Showers were good dressing area with hooks and a bench so nothing gets wet while showering. Push button but plenty of hot water. Also separate wash basins to just have a wash. We found them to be always clean warm and never had to queue. Music playing was a nice touch.
Washing up sinks were outside and under cover as was the chemical toilets. Did not use the pool so cant comment. Unfortunatley did not use the bar or restraunt found ourselfs to tired after a day out walking.
All in all we had a lovely holiday.
Yes it gets windy and our first night was very windy. But peg your awning down well and use a storm strap and it will be fine! After all you are on an open cliff top We stayed 6 nights and had 2 and half nights of wind and a bit of rain one night. Sunsets are lovely to watch.

Really good site. Very well kept. Pitches are good size and they cater for larger motor homes. Plenty of fully services pitches. Toilets and showers clean and tidy. Good restaurant on site and swimming pool, sauna and steam room. Within easy distance of Bridport - 5 mins by car. Lots of lovely walks on the Jurassic coastal path. Oub within walking distance. Staff very friendly and helpful. Dogs very welcome. Can be quite noisy if you are near the children's play area. Lovely views. Pebble beach within walking distance - although climb back up quite steep.
Called on 'spec' and just spent a couple of nights here.
Initially we were slightly put off by what appeared to be a large static caravan park, but I am glad we persevered and stayed.
The sections given over to tents is at the far end of the site and offers some spectacular views along the coastline. The pitches allocated to each tent are spacious and well maintained.
The toilet block is a fair distance to get to, but is very well appointed and clean. The restaurant and shop are even further away, but in our experience well worth the trek. The food was very good and they had 3 types of real ale on tap. Fantastic.
A very good site. Will have no worries about returning. Wish we could have spent longer here.
We found this site from the internet and were concerned what we'd find but were really pleased from the moment we drove through the gates. It is a perfect location for touring Dorset and all the beautiful villages and coastline, which was breathtaking.
Pitch was large enough for our large tent and car. Toilet blocks were fantastic, very clean, never busy with individual shower rooms and excellent laundry room with free use of the iron. The site was very busy but due to the layout you felt like you had your own private site! Even had rabbits hopping around every evening, so nice.
The shop was very well stocked from food to camping items and the prices were surprisingly good as some sites over price their goods. Onsite bar/restaurant was very popular and tasty! Swimming pool was warm, clean and staff all so friendly.
We are desperate to return, such a good site and so much to do and visit in the area. Markets and bootsales on every where most of the week and seaside towns were wonderful. Large supermarkets close by and never far from a 'chippy'!
We stayed at this site for 8 nights with our touring caravan on a serviced hardstanding pitch. The site is in a truly beautiful spot and we were lucky to get a pitch with a partial sea view. It’s lovely being right on the cliff top with stunning views and a short but steep walk down to a lovely unspoilt shingle beach.
The camp site is generally well kept and the pitches are tidy but rather on the small side. The toilet blocks are dated but adequate although they could have been cleaner and should have been checked more often.
The restaurant and bar were well run and the food was good and a reasonable price. The shop and reception were also good
The pool and gym were a very good standard and clean and well run. You do pay extra to use them though. We appreciated the adult only swim time as we didn’t have any young children in our party.
There is a good Morrisons Supermarket at Bridport and West Bay, a lively harbour, is a nice, scenic 1 mile stroll along the coast path.
We chose the site because our 18 year old son and his girlfriend were coming with us and we wanted something a bit more lively than the caravan club sites we normally use but we didn’t want it to be too commercial. In that respect it fitted the bill perfectly.
The main downside for us was people not following the rules and no wardens around to enforce them. Lots of people pitched incorrectly and parked their cars on the wrong side of their caravans making small pitches even smaller.
Overall we had a good time and some good trips out to Lyme Regis, Beer, Weymouth and Portland. We were also very lucky with the weather!
My husband I enjoyed a lovely week here - the pool, sauna and steam room was a lovely extra, to look forward to in the evenings, after long walks in the day,
The bus stops at Bridport - and we found a safe walk back to the site,
The food was really good - and we are very fussy everything seemed to be homemade!
Facilities were great too lots of toilets and 4 showers. Everyone was very friendly and we felt very welcome.
We were also pleased that we were able to chose our own pitch! We would recommend this site to anyone

Lovely location a short walk from a beach. We stayed for a weekend with a couple of friends who brought their caravan as well.
Large site, with every conceivable type of pitch, shop, club and swimming pool. The shop was quite large with lots of variety, but we didn't use the club or pool. We were on a grass pitch and it was quite peaceful. Had to search around for a grey waste point, though. Shower/toilet blocks were clean and functional.
All in all a very enjoyable weekend and we would go again.
My wife and I are trying to emulate the BBC programme by driving round the UK coastline.
This site was recommended by friends who had worked there in the past as staff. It stood up to all our expectations and as we visited in low season, we got the pick of the pitches and parked at the very top of the cliffs with magnificent views of the local coastline and a spectacular sunset! Facilities were spotless and extensive if a little too commercial for our personal liking but the staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly. We would certainly recommend this site - especially for the location, local coastal walking and views.
I have to admit I was worried by all the other reviews on this site when our friends suggested we stayed here. It was the wind versus our lovely new tent that I was worried about.
The site is lovely, my first impression was of a well kept road/drive leading up to the main entrance. The reception staff were helpful when explaining our choice of pitches although not very talkative when I explained my fears of high winds.
We had a pitch with our back to a hedge, just over the crest of the hill (with EHU). Our pitch was pretty level, but towards either end of the field there was quite a pronounced slope.
The toilet, chemical disposal and washing up block was large, and I believe there were 2 or 3 on site.
The clubhouse was very nice, although busy and served lovely food (full menu and bar). They opened up another section on our arrival, so had plenty of capacity.
The swimming pool was £3 per session for adults, but was a really good size and was quiet as well, which was a nice surprise, but may be busy during peak periods.
There is a shop next to reception which sells just about anything you could need or may have forgotten. Even a variety of individual pegs, which may come in handy for some.
The only downside was the wind. We had stunning weather for 2 days, but on the 2nd night, the wind got up and we ended up taking down our awning in the early hours of the morning in the howling wind. You are right on top of a cliff, so very exposed. No harm done though. The plus side of this though was that both sunrise and sunset gave stunning views.
If you could guarantee the wind would be low then I would definitely visit again without a doubt, however it really did put me off. If you are not a worrier like me, or you are in a motorhome or caravan then you'll love it.
Put aside any worries you will have when you drive through the park. There are lots of static units and you begin to think uh oh. Trust me this will pass when you see the beautiful views from the cliffs and large pitches. We thought that perhaps some more quick growing hedges need to be put in to provide more shelter for tents. I believe at least 2 were abandoned due to a storm on 22nd.
The park is clean and very well maintained and appointed. Reception staff are very welcoming and helpful. The shop and information area next door is great. It has all the essentials and is not over-priced.
Toilets, private wash areas, and large shower cubicles are kept very clean, and we never encountered any problems. But then we didn't really get up until 1030. So they had probably be cleaned by then.
The bar and restaurant is very welcoming and comfortable. Dogs are allowed inside. There is a take-away service (we did not use this, but it seemed to be very popular) Prices in the bar is very good and the standard of the food is lovely. If you want Sunday Lunch you must book ahead, this gets booked up very quickly.
Swiming Pool, Gym and Sauna were lovely. Cost £4.40 for my husband and daughter when they wanted to use it. But if you plan to swim every day then you can purchase a booklet which gives you 7 swims at a slightly reduced price.
Washing facilities are very good, cost of a wash was £3 and Dryers were £1 for 80 mins. However, there are only 2 washers and 2 dryers, both large capacity and washloads take about 30 mins.
There are also a number of washing up points, and plenty of water taps around the site.
Although we couldn't have picked a worse week weatherwise, it was still a fabulous site.
For views from your tent, pitch on Area 3 (be careful of the wind though) For the not so brave, camp in Area 2. There is a children's play area.
Places to Visit:
Dorchester's Teddy Bear Museum, Dinosaur Museum and the Terracotta warriors were great. The Mummies Museum was really disappointing, but at the time we visited they also had the Tutankamun Exhibition which was lovely.
Weymouth's SeaLife centre is expsenive and not really worth the money (but it was raining on our visit)
Bridport - Little market town, and holds a town market on Weds & Sats.
Lyme Regis - Just because I didn't like this place, doesn't mean you shouldn't avoid it. It is a popular town especially for the beach, but I didn't find it too dog friendly. There are a number of places to eat and The Old WatchHouse on the Cobb is great for fresh fish.
