 Booked this site to spend the weekend with family, we booked on the 12th February for the weekend of the 11th March, and asked to be pitched together.
On arrival it was clear that we were not going to be pitched together, in addition we were also informed that the restaurant and bar would be closed to touring visitors as they were holding an event for the owners of the static vans to welcome them back for the new season! nice to know once they have your money they change what is on offer.
Other than this the site is ok toilet and showers dated but clean. Lovely location, but a long way from anywhere, so if you don't have personal transport public transport is sporadic especially out of season.
Wont go back again as to shut the restaurant with no warning we think is unacceptable.

Beautiful location with excellent facilities.
Lovely secluded pitch with well maintained showers and toilets.
Easy to follow instructions and clear site map with a drive over drain for grey water.

Lovely location, and great access to Durdle door and lulworth close.
Clean facilities, Nice bar/restaurant. Maybe a little on the pricey side, however the food was really nice.
The pitches are hardstanding and have water and elec.
Now my only gripe was our pitch.
We were on pitch number 4 and tbh the grass around it could have been a bit tidier and the hedges trimmed. Also the gradient was so steep it took some big blocks to get the caravan level.
Also, although the pitch is hard standing, it isn't wide enough for both the caravan and awning.
Pitches 3, 4 and 5 were also under the trees which are home to a family of crows. This is mentioned on their website, however be ready for the noise but worse of all, the damage their poo does to your caravan. It took ages cleaning their muck off.
My advice is to ask for a pitch on the side nearest the service road for the public car park.
We would visit again, just on a different pitch.

We booked a touring pitch for my husband and I. We were really pleased with the large hard standing pitches (must remember hard standing pegs for the awning next time) with bushes either side for privacy. Water taps on our own pitch and facilities not too far away.
Pitch on a slight slope, but we found blocks no problem.
A great location for local natural attractions without the need for travelling if your up for some walking. Being a countryside location, it’s a fair drive out to the nearest towns and more commercial attractions.
Having seen how popular this area had been on the news over the summer I was pleasantly surprised to find although busy, there was plenty of space. (The children being back to school probably being the reason)
The site itself was quite peaceful and picturesque, not too commercial, it had a rustic, woodland vibe.
The site and surrounding areas had good COVID safe practices.
Booking was flexible and we booked Sunday to Sunday, noticed some tourers/campers just stayed one or two nights, so that was good not being fixed to weeks or weekends. £200ish for 7 nights, which I thought was good value and on par with other sites.
Great communication via email or phone and a friendly informative greeting at reception on arrival.
Will definitely recommend for tourers and campers (we didn’t see the static side) for friends and family who enjoy walking and hiking and countryside drives. This site was Perfect for us!

Clean facilities and plenty of them - never had to queue!
Lovely location, very close to the beach and Durdle Door itself, great for anyone looking to spend a couple of days walking the Coastal Path, relaxing on the beach or visiting the lovely towns/villages nearby!
Slightly hilly ground.

Sadly I did not really enjoy my time at Durdle Door. We had a seaview pitch, however, didn't see much sea as basically was just staring at a massive car park all weekend. Cars came early and left late, so very little peace.
The pitch was on a significant slope, which made life difficult, toilets etc a long walk away.
Positives were friendly staff and nice food in the bar.
Ultimately this site is a bit of a rip off, the argument is no doubt you pay for the location, but when the view is ruined by cars and there is no peace then this argument is somewhat false.

The only plus this site has is Location which is excellent for Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove and everything in between.
£110 for 2 nights is expensive by any standards, but when the toilet block is filthy on our arrival late evening, I thought it may be due to daytime use so I left it to the following morning but no change, and when I had the audacity to ask for it to be cleaned the sarcasm from the cleaning staff was unbelievable, and within my earshot.
On site restaurant is over-priced, in my opinion for basic cafe food, and no discount for the takeaway option.
Overall not impressed, the touring part of this park is obviously not the main facility, as the static holiday homes are much better catered for, smooth tarmac roads, good lighting etc, whilst the touring section has rough stone roads, and very poor lighting.
We will not be returning to this site.

This campsite is in an amazing situation but we were totally disappointed with our stay here. At £100 for just 2 nights we expected a bit more. On arrival we were directed to our seaview pitch which by the time we had located it we found it was just a random spot at the back of the public car park!
It did have electric hook up but was outside the actual campsite boundaries and was just another row of parking spaces on uneven land. We had difficulty trying to level our unit using both sets of chocks. Other vans had to use stone blocks they had found dotted around.
The poor couple next to us had a trailer tent which required a level pitch but it definitely wasn't. He really struggled setting up. I believe they were going to complain.
If we had known what the unallocated pitches were like we would never had booked this site at all. We cant really comment on the rest of the site as we were not part of it!

I stayed here in June of 2015 and left a review of the site at the time.
My summing up of the site in 2015 was that it was 'Frankly, a superb camp site let down by the fact that a public thoroughfare runs right through it. ' I see this sentiment was echoed by other reviewers as well.
I am however happy to report that management now route coach trips through a new woodland walk and so there is no longer the problem of a thousand tourists traipsing past your tent and pebble-dashing the toilets.
I will be pleased to award this site more stars than before and also note that the management of Durdle Door itself has vastly improved with far less litter than before and some attempt being made to stop tourists straying off the paths and destroying a world heritage site.
More needs to be done in the latter regard though. Maybe they need to invest in some actual fences.
The on site team could also do more to stamp out loud music and car engines being left running but apart from that, customer service is really good.
Oh, and the wooded area is still infested with crows which means constant squabbling and screeching, starting from about 5am, and everything gets covered in crow poo.

Stayed in a camping pod for 3 nights, lovely campsite, toilets and showers all very clean. The shop is a bit pricey. We didn't eat at the Blue crab so can't comment. The only problem was the rooks, VERY noisy day and night and as soon as the food comes they gather like vultures.
