Having read the previous reviews for this site, we decided to book a weeks stay here.
We agree with some of the comments stated earlier regarding the location of the site, it can be a little off-putting driving along a residential street to the site, but once on the site its brilliant.
We had a wonderful weeks stay and would have liked to extend for another week but they were too busy.
A short stroll to the beach, village, car boot / market and a very useful caravan / camping shop.
Facilities were kept spotlessly clean.
We had noticed several people emptying their wastemasters on the edges of pitches, though we emptied ours in the grids near the taps.
All in all, would recommend the site and may visit again in the future
We have just visited this site and compared to some others we have been on for touring caravans my wife and myself think it is very overrated, yes the toilets and the showers are good but the pitches are far to small for some caravans and we got the impression the staff are not to concerned where you pitch as long as they get your money.
They dont point either that this site is virtually in the middle of a council estate, and that charmouth is very hilly not suitable for the infirm [ wife is disabled ].
The nearest supermarkets are at bridport 7 miles and lyme regis 3 miles. We tried the local fish&chip shop fish /chips/peas for 2 almost £10 and are appalling.
They say the beach is close yes it is if you have a car,but not a site for the infirm or very disabled [i.E wheelchair ]
I thought this site was amazing with the beach being right next door as such! We spent three nights here and the weather was awesome, so we spent many an hour on the beach catching the rays and fossil hunting! There are also two great cafes on the beach, we tried both and both were good! On-site, there is a well stocked shop which is open all day for your goodies and the staff were really friendly. You need £5 deposit at check-in for a toilet block key, which you obviously get back if you hand both keys in! As for the toilet facilities, they were spotless & welcoming. In Charmouth there are a few other shops, pubs and an amazing chippy! A gem of a site which we really enjoyed.
Good site. Initially not quite we were expecting lots of statics etc but in fact it was great.
I must say we were a little peeved at having booked for 2 weeks, and booked very early, to find ourselves on 1 of 2 sloping pitches with no grass that we could use whatsoever! then trying to pitch on a sloping mud bath in torrential rain and gale force winds made life very difficlut.
Although the site is good, little thought seems to be given to pitch planning, far grassier pitches were given to tents only staying one 2 nights, when ours needs to recover not 14 days of us living on it!
Only other negative. Keys for the toilets. Not sure of the need for this as it wasn't a site for kids hanging round the toilets (other sites could really use it) but my god you have to make sure you have your key on you in the night or its a very disheartening walk!
Positives
Great shop, fresh morning pastries a real plus! Next to sea. Quiet even though child friendly. Spacious for kids Pitches were quite spacious although no choice of pitch Toilets immaculate even over August bank holiday Great location!
When we arrived at the site we were sent round to our pitch, upon arriving we found that tents to both sides of us had pitched over the boundary markers which left us very little room, also whoever had been there before us decided that emptying your waste water onto the grass is a good idea because the pitch stank
We went back to reception and were told we could try another pitch, which we did and then got set up,
The next morning was lashing down with rain so off out for the day to Lyme Regis
On returning to our pitch we found about 2" of water inside the awning! the way the site is laid out means there is no where for water to drain away!
Thankfully that was the only wet day and the rest of the week was fantastic hot sunshine, but the pitch never really dried out even after a week
The toilet facilities are very good and the shop is good for a site shop (fresh bread & croissants every day!)
The nearest pub is The George (about 0.5 miles)which was okay, the food was average and playground was good for children
The beach is accessible from the site and is great for fossil hunting, swimming or beach fishing, there is a cafe either side of the river so refreshments are easily obtainable
Overall the site is an average campsite with acceptable facilities, although if it wasn't between a pub and a beach i'`m not so sure there would be as many good reviews!

May 2007 Stayed over the May Bank weekend, Fri-Mon.
Our requirements were a static van (for the oldies) and 3 tent pitches, with very close access to the beach, on a site with good toilets (for the "Boss", of course).
Booking at the end of March, the Parkdeans place at WestBay (which wasn't necessarily our 1st choice anyway) didn't have any statics available for this period. And we read that Newlands was hilly and further away from the beach.
After a great deal of reviewing of sites in the area we chose Seadown as the best option. The lady on the telephone reception was friendly, even though it was the end of the day, and the booking went through without a hitch. Though she did comment that our 7x5m Gelert Satellite 6 was a "bit big". But things seemed to bode well, and we kept our fingers crossed.
This was actually going to be the first trip out with the "Boss". Been out before with eldest two when they were 4 and 2, but 2 years later now there was also a new addition. And the "Boss".
When we arrived the reception was friendly and we found that we were being charged £24 for our big tent (the normal charge being £12). But it was fair enough, though as we were put in the bottom tenting field, right next to the embankment, which had plenty of space, and I suspect if I hadn't mentioned the size of the tent, no one would have bothered anyway. All pitches have EHU, and tap and drain shared between about 8 pitches. One thing to note is the bottom tent site looks like it would act as a sink for the site's water in heavy rain, so beware! Fortuantely, we had fairly dry weather (only drizzled the last day). But looking at some of the pitches others had got, some right in the midst of caravans, on gravel, I would recommend the lovely shaded and sheltered bottom field if you can get it. It does seem to be reserved for the larger tents though.
The toilets and washing facilities were amazingly clean. The cleanest I've ever seen actually. There was an emphasis on campers keeping the facilities clean and they even provided a mop and bucket with disinfectant to mop up the the toilet or shower block if you made a mess. What a good idea ! Also a key was provided to access the blocks, so random children visits and usual messing about didn't occur.
The washing up area lights stay on until about midnight, so beware if you're thining of a quick trip there to wash up those midnight beer glasses.
The site shop was a bit pricey, but the village shops were only a 5 minute walk away.
The field next to the beach was pefect for flying kites or riding bikes. And at the end of the field is Charmouth and it's beaches! Fanstastic for the kids. If you forget something on the beach, you can actually run back and get it! Part of the river Char has been dammed up to form a small paddling pool which is big enough for rowing canoes and things. Sure beats pool.
All in all, a great time was had by everyone, including the Boss, and I would definitely recommend it to everyone else.
Great position right by the beach and river. Fantastic open areas for play or dog walking and a very well laid out site with generous sized pitches. Village a short walk away with a pub that serves good food and is dog friendly. Just one criticism to add, we had reason to complain about a large family group who were noisy and inconsiderate we managed to move pitch away from them but the staff did not ask them to kerb their unsociable behaviour. Had there not have been another pitch to move to our holiday would have been totally ruined.
2 adults 2 children in a very wet Seadown in July, Good campsite although drainage could be better, it became very muddy. Very clean toilets, showers etc although only three showers which was not enough at peak times. Big advantage is being able to walk to the sea, only 5 mins. On the whole a good site for familys etc
Have just returned, from Seadown. What a fab site. Absoulutely spotless. The showers / toilets etc. where the cleanest Ive ever seen on a campsite. Right next to the beach, where the children (3 and 7) had a great time fossil hunting. Staff very helpful. There is a lovely pub in the village, The George, with a huge play area in the back, with climbing frames, bikes and gorgous 3 goats that the children can feed, All in all.10/10. Would love to go back.
Just got back from a wet (but very enjoyable) weekend at this campsite. The site itself is immaculate with plenty of space for each pitch. We were a party of three families and were pitched together (sometimes this doesn't happen, even if requested, at other sites. The facilities block was probably the best we've come across so far. Showers and toilets were amazingly clean and we didn't have to wait for showers even though there aren't that many (3 in the ladies). There is also a launderette, washing up sinks, vegetable prep sinks and hairdryers. There is plenty of room for the kids to run around, badminton, tennis, table tennis, skittles, basketball facilities. The dog walk area is great with an abundance of bins to deposit the necessary. The kids had a great time searching for fossils on the beach at the end of the park and us adults just chilled out. We didn't get to the village as we had everything we needed with us so can't comment on the local area. Unfortunately the weather was against us but we managed to stay as our tents stayed up and we all stayed dry. Typical UK bank holiday! Would thoroughly recommend this site and hope to go back again soon.

We love camping in this country but do find it necessary to take a gazebo so that we can still cook, sit outside, etc even when the weather turns bad. We are prepared to pay for this extra facility. Seadown Holiday Park do not accept any form of gazebo so beware if you book without checking, you could be in for a very wet and uncomfortable stay. Come on Seadown, camping has changed and no longer needs to be wet and uncomfortable!
We stayed here at the end of April and would recommend it to anyone, absolutely brilliant site. Right next to the beach, just a short walk there by a river, once there there is a shop, toilets and a couple of cafes. Good dog walks close by which ours really enjoyed, but is a bit stiff now! The village centre is a two minute walk away with shops, two pubs and a chip shop. The larger pub has a large beer garden and does good food, reasonably priced. The chip shop closed at 9pm when we were there and most things were cooked to order, so don't turn up at 8.30 and be surprised if there's a queue! Worth the wait though. Lyme Regis is very close with lots of shops etc. Staff at the site were friendly without being overbearing. A very enjoyable weekend for everyone.
We came here last august, after a seriously miserable weekend at a different site in Bridport. What a contrast! This was well run with pristine well tended showers, a clean and tidy laundry room, proper play space for the children not just a tiny area crammed on as an after thought. Best of all it was peaceful and not populated by people who needed to shout and swear at top volume from morning till night. It was also in a glorious setting, unspoiled and perfect for exploring. This is what camping is all about.
We have thoroughly enjoyed this site in the past. However, having booked and PAID IN ADVANCE for a hardstanding for 3 nights last week-end we arrived and were allocated a muddy grass pitch between 2 outfits, although the rest of the field was empty. After travelling for 100 miles we were not very happy. We did get our money back but this is not the point. We had to look around for another site and found Newlands which we were very happy with.
Spent a dampish week here this summer, but I can't fault the site! We (2 families) were down near the river and the earth bank (presumably a flood defence!), but thus well sheltered. The actual camp site isn't vast, it IS 'tucked away' to the edge of the main site (largely static vans) but this is no bad thing! I didn't get the impression we campers were 'second class citizens' bunged in as an afterthought at all. Our site was reasonably sized and level though those a bit further up towards the amenities block had a bit of a slope. All the campsites had free EHU. The site was clean and well kept, plenty of flat roads for kids to ride bikes, and our 4 (aged 5-8) had a whale of a time running the length of the levee wall and paddling in the stream. The site, though quite full seemed quiet though young teenagers tended to congregate outside the amenities block in the evenings. It's an easy and pleasant walk to Charmouth beach and maybe then an hour's walk to Lyme Regis at low tide along the beach. Get the bus back or use the LR park'n'ride. The shop was well enough stocked (you're only 5 mins walk from the main street of Charmouth) and the staff helpful. Be warned the roads around the coast on a wet day were hell! It took us an hour to get to Bere Regis one day (8 miles?), where the actual supermarket is. Anyway, the amenities block was clean with lots of hot water. All up, I highly recommend this site.
