This was about my forth visit to this site and I have always liked and recommended it. My last visit however was some 6 years ago so I didn't know whether things would have changed. I needn't have worried. The site was pretty much the same as I remembered it - swimming pool, shop, small bar / restaurant, but not a large commercial concern. The site roads are tarmac so no horrible crunching noises and no main roads nearby, so nice and peaceful.
The site is fairly large but is split into paddocks divided by trees and shrubbery, so it never feels overcrowded. The marked EHU pitches are large enough for most people's needs and I don't think the non-EHU pitches are marked so it's just a case of keeping your distance from your neighbour.
The pitches themselves are reasonable given that we had not had much rain leading up to my stay and the grass was a little dry and lumpy in places. I of course chose the worst one of the lot and had to re-negotiate a better one but I have become used to that. Fortunately, being May and the weekend before the Bank Holiday, there were plenty to choose from.
Since my last visit new facilities blocks have been built and these are as good as you would expect with private cubicles for washing and also family bathrooms. I didn't like the basin taps though and could not get much hot water out of them. They are a modern design whereby they turn one way for cold and the other way for hot and in the middle for a mixture of the two. Unfortunately hot wasn't very hot and there seemed to be very low water pressure so you had a choice of tepid water or, tepid water. The showers were hot though which compensated I suppose, with 20 second push taps. Plenty of hooks and shelves for clothing etc. In the gents was a full length mirror - very handy indeed if you have middle age spread and need to check anything below the waist.
There is a large playing field with play equipment so children have no need to complain of boredom. I believe in the height of the season they have children's entertainment as well.
I was a little disappointed that having booked I was then advised (my fault for not asking) that the Bar in the Barn was closed and there was no entertainment. However, the Red Barn in their sister site, Bagwell, some 10 minutes walk away was open and I was able to use that. It wasn't very busy though so the licensee started closing at 10pm just as things were warming up. Saved me having too big a hangover though!
I also discovered a very nice and friendly pub, the Victoria Inn, a few minutes walk along a footpath across a field from Bagwell which serves good food at reasonable prices and a selection of real beers.
It is handy for sites in this area to have their own bars since it is a car journey to the nearest civilisation - ok if you have a non-drinking chauffeur - not that I go camping just to use the watering holes but when camping alone one has to have somewhere to spend the evenings in good company.
All in all a very nice site with all you need in situ. About 4 miles from Weymouth.
Nice site, we had great weather, and it was quiet for most of our stay. The problems we found was that the site although seemingly open, was not really ready. By their own admission the owners said that they only really open from the Whitsun weekend.
The fact that the bar/club was not open affected us greatly- it was one of the reasons we chose this site- its great entertainment for our 4 year old, and its nice to have a choice as far as eating goes.
During the course of the week we watched as the toilets were cleaned ready for 'D day' (hooray!), the grass was cut, older showers etc painted, and beer delivered (noisily, at 6 am). The pool should have been nice, although its a bit shabby, and had a few insect suicide victims floating about.
The kids play areas too, could benefit from repair / repainting a bit. The hot water miraculously improved on the fri/sat, after a tradesman did something in the plant room. There's a lot of 'rulage' on site- don't do this, don't do that, no refunds under any circumstances, and strangely the lovely 'family bathrooms' are locked at 6pm daily, just before most toddlers bathtimes.
Of course, as soon as the b/h weekend rolled around the place looked great and was a great campsite, although governed to the 'credit crunch' breed of new campers- I coined the phrase 'Butlins with tents'- very noisy, and rules being broken- like naked fires etc.
Just returned from a glorious 4 night get away here with the kids. 4th Time we have stayed here. Being I suppose still out of season the place was quite empty, loads of room.
Although we were non electric for our stay we did pitch up on an electric pitch due to it being quiet. Having said that all the pitches seem able to cope with most size tents both large and small. Shop was open at various times during the day well stocked with everything you may wish from a camp store.
Toilet / washing block still looked and seemed brand new, very clean and tidy and the under floor heating on the cold nights a welcome change when stepping out of the shower. Used the family bathroom every night and with three kids to wash was a godsend.
Staff were very friendly and helpful and being out of season they still put them selves out during the day.
We stayed in paddock 'D' too. I do love this site. The new toilet block is lush! Very clean, very warm and I do believe heated flooring (Which was lovely on the knees when I was poorly one morning - nothing to do with the campsite) We was the only ones that stayed for 7 nights and because its there last week shop was open a couple of hours a day and pub/meals was only served on the sat night/sun morning when we arrived but this is expected - Was lovely meal had a jacket spud and breakfast was soooooo yummy!
Didnt see staff often as it was the last week of the season but they was very friendly and helpful and recommended places to go near by and also let us know about opening times. We had such a relaxing and peaceful week with our dog (There is a boat ride round Portland which is from Weymouth which dogs our allowed ours loved it with the wind in his ears!) also take a walk up to the main entrance to bagwell to a lovely view over the fleet and walk down to sea barn through the farm walk for another lovely view of the fleet and horses. We cannot wait to go back!
The entrance in past bagwell is a little rough so take it slow to miss the potholes (Hopefully they might of filled them in by the new season)there is another exit and entrance which is also quicker to Weymouth but the route in from it does say unsuitable to caravans)
Our second visit to this brilliant site. Excellent facilities, helpful staff and love the kid friendliness of the site. We went 7th August and had 7 glorious hot days so the pool was a plus after a hot day on the (beautiful and safe) Weymouth beach.
Toilet/shower amenities were clean and tidy plus ample dish washing places.
Have already reserved our pitch for 2010. Well done West Fleet - we know we will have a great time.
Just returned from a very enjoyable week long stay in paddock 'D' with my two boys and the dog! Field extremely well kept, as was old and new toilet / shower block. New block kept immaculately clean at all times. Plenty of sinks for washing up after meals. Loads of open space for kids to play, including nightly inflatable slides etc (although these charged a fee). Only 2 fields accepted dogs which was fine. Bar in the barn reasonably priced and food hot - very welcome after a 6 hour drive to get there! Shop stocked everything we needed at a reasonable price - even duck tape for the airbed! There was no noise after 11pm which was great. The kids enjoyed the pool, only downside was juggling having to supervise them in the pool (being 13 and 11 and plenty old enough!) and not being allowed the dog in. Staff in the shop extremely helpful and polite. Weymouth harbour really nice, plenty of places to eat - kids went crabbing off the harbour wall. Boat tours from the harbour reasonably priced for hour and half ride round the coast. Portland Bill very noisy - didn't go on the tour up though because of the dog! although most places including restaurants very dog friendly. Would recommend a trip to Lyme Regis - very pretty and nice beach.
Have just returned from a fab week at West Fleet campsite just outside Weymouth in our 6 person tent. Was pitched in paddock D with electric hook up.
Loads of room for our large tent and car in the pitch, plus no extra charge for a large tent which was a bonus.
Facilities were spot on, the new toilet and shower block including family bathrooms were great, cleaned thoroughly regularly and the queues were not that long even for a peak week.
The swimming pool was nice and surprisingly warm, plus there were two play parks and a large playing field which was perfect for kids.
The bar in the barn offered a great value breakfast plus evening meals, which were a little more pricey, plus a range of entertainment was provided every evening.
The shop was large and well stocked and the staff were friendly and helpful.
A great site for families, would thoroughly recommend it.
Sea Barn Farm certainly has amazing views and we would probably stay there next time compared to West Fleet where we have just spent a week.
We chose West Fleet because of the proximity to the facilities ie swimming pool (gets crowded and noisy but still a bonus for kids of all ages) and the barn (bar/disco). The short walk from Sea Barn to the swimming pool is better than being near the more hectic West Fleet.
The service from the people working in the main reception is very good, happy to help with all enquiries. It was busy in the first week of August, so pitches were scarce but there was just enough room for young kids to run and cycle around without getting under anyones feet. The general atmosphere is very nice, great for young families. The shower block and family bathrooms were very good and even when the rain came and it was muddy outside, they were cleaned 2 or 3 times a day and the type of people staying cleaned up after themselves as well.
If you planning to stay during a busy week in the summer or a bank holiday the chances are that they will be fully booked and space limited. I would recommend you book a pitch with an electric hook up, even if you don't intend to use the electric - that way you'll get a pitch on the boundary of one of the fields and you wont risk being in the middle of a field totally surrounded by tents and guys ropes etc, the extra cost was a few quid a day I think.
We didn't eat at the barn bar, but the drink prices were average too high, the shop is well stocked and reasonably priced. I would recommend spending time in Weymouth, but avoid Portland like the plague and don't waste your time travelling to Portland Bill. Lulworth Cove is worth a trip, but skip Dorchester, its a total nightmare to park. The Sealife centre is Weymouth is the best we visited, lots of outside rides and attractions as well as the usual stuff and all included in the price. One final thing, if you're not into dogs they insist that dogs are kept away from certain fields, which in hindsight worked very well
We visited here for 7 nights in mid August with our two children 6 and 3, who really enjoyed themselves. We have none - EHU in the middle of the site and the site was full for all the time we were there.
When we arrived on the sunday having pre-booked several months before, pitches has not been reserved and were sent off to find a pitch where there was space, we arrived on a sunday so most weekend people had already arrived and those on a long weekend had not left yet - so finding somewhere was a bit tricky and the tents were not that well spaced out.
The showers etc were good / clean and the family bathrooms very welcome although big queues at peak times and shut / locked up at around 8-9pm.
Although playgrounds were quite basic it was safe and children enjoyed them very much and many children play football and cricket on open play area's. There were also the huge blow up slides / castles which were chargeable.
We ate in the barn/restaurant one evening which was nice, the steak was good although you did need to order it in advance unless it was limited. Found the menu limited for children. Child portion and adult portion was on the expensive side for a 6 year old.
Really liked the beach at Weymouth, but very busy and parking was very difficult as well as lots of traffic!
Shop well stocked - although bought something off the shelf and noticed when I get it back it was out of date!
Saying that we would good back and enjoyed our stay.
We have just arrived back from this lovely campsite, first time we have been & we loved it.
The club house was lovely & friendly in the evening, the pool was great fun, there was 3 playgrounds as well which my daughter who is 3 years old loved playing in all of them, the shop is well stocked as well, the food in the club house was expensive but was all fresh.
Would we go again : the answer is a yes,
Would we recommend it to everyone else: the answer is yes,
Just got back from a five day break at this site and overall it is a very good site.
The views at West Fleet are not great, the campsite further on at Bagwell Farm has far better views. After a short walk along the back of the site you reach the coastal path, which is just lovely.
We were looking to book a four night break but unfortunately we had to commit to 7 nights, which were paid for but not utilised. This is a drawback at this time of year.
The shower block is lovely and tidy, but far too small when the site is at full capacity. We saw queues throughout the day. However, good family room which was always clean and tidy.
The bar in the barn is good fun and great for family entertainment.
Just returned from a very busy bank holiday weekend stay. We have used this site before, but this time we were disappointed. They have added electric hook up pitches around the outside of most of the fields leaving the rest of us to fight for scraps of space.
The facilities, considering the size of the site, are totally inadequate and the new shower block had boiler trouble all weekend.
The 2 family bathrooms (yes only 2) are not for families alone so we were queueing for teenagers to get out.
If you like a site where your kid's run riot, scream and shout all night go to the pool un-supervised then this is not the site for you.
After camping for a good few years, I have now found a site that I would recommend and go back to.
The pitches are a good size,well marked out and very clean and tidy.
The swimming pool is well looked after and a joy to use which my family did every time they had 5 minutes.
There are 2 main shower block's the new one and of course the old one, if there was ever a queue in one just go to the other, these were kept at a very good standard and were cleaned at least 3 times a day.
The on site shop covers all the basic's you will need and the staff were really helpful and always made time to have a chat, the bar in the barn served some very good home made food at a good price.
The only down side is the road getting to the site ( one track in places )
On the whole this is a wonderful site, very safe and friendly for a great family holiday, my family didn't want to leave and we have already booked again for next year
An easy site to find just follow their directions. A larger site than we thought but well kept.
The site was busy with most if not all pitches booked. If you don't use a EHU I think it's a case of find somewhere and pitch your tent.
The showers were good, and clean. I found if you used the older shower block you didn't have to queue to get a shower.
The shop is quite large and well stocked with most items, the only gripe was it runs out of papers very quickly, but you can get a paper locally if you miss out.
The playing area was great for my son to play in, fly his kite etc.
We never got to use the pool as there was so much to do and see locally that we ran out of time to try it.
Only thing I would like to see is a one way circuit for the traffic, I think it would make life driving around the site just that little bit easier.
On the whole a good (if not large) site, well worth a visit.
Just returned from a weeks holiday at Sea Barn Farm which although adjacent to West Fleet and owned by the same family has a very different feel to it. It's a much quieter site with really lovely views.
The EHU pitches are large, level, sheltered and very well maintained as the whole site is. The modern shower block was pretty much spotless and always warm and well lit (a must for me as I always need a wee at 3am!) Did have a peek in the older shower block and although clean it's well worth the extra walk to the new one if you're further up. Free hair dryer is also worth a mention.
The only complaint (and it really is only a half complaint) is that the shop could be better although the sausages are really good! The shop at East Fleet camp site is much better though and welcomes visitors from other sites as does the bar / restaurant.
Sea Barn has the use of the clubhouse at Westfleet but although the staff are really helpful and friendly it badly needs updating and the food isn't great.
Despite those minor gripes, can't wait to go back, 10/10 for location and for a really chilled out and relaxed holiday
