 Please note, this site no longer has any touring or camping pitches. It now has holiday homes and camping pods for hire only.
If you know that this situation has changed in the future, please could you let us know. Many thanks

This is a great site, location for walking into Charmouth and also near to Lyme Regis, Bridport etc on bus route also.
This is our second visit as was meeting up with family. To be honest we would not usually choose a family holiday park due to how busy they can be, but as we found last year, the pluses out weigh the negatives.
Great facilities, great location, friendly staff, and out of holiday season, fantastic rates too!

Clean site and easy to access.
Amazing swimming pool and play areas looked good. Handy shop and cafe on site.
Close enough to walk to the beach and pubs in Charmouth.
Good dog walking on site.
I was surprised at the off season prices but you definitely get what you pay for.

This site is well maintained, clean
Staff are very welcoming
Pitches are good ( we were on a serviced pitch ) site is teered so quite hilly so need to consider this if not as agile as you used to be,
Bus to local areas 50 mtrs from site entrance,
Small cafe/bar on site serves drinks and snacks was closed the monday / tuesday we were there, opened wed / thur till 6pm and till 9pm friday /saturday
Didn't use swimming pool or fishing lake as quite a steep field to go down and back up with fishing tackle.
Toilets and showers are combined so could be a problem in high season with people occupying them for some time as the fare sex do hair makeup etc.
Local area is good Lyme regis is nice but hilly. Weymouth is about 30 miles away but worth a visit,
Large supermarket within 6/7 miles in Axminster,
Would we return, no, because too hilly for our self but would if younger and more agile.

Lovely site very clean well kept. Shame bar/cafe not open longer (due to staff shortage) pool amazing, site is on a hill so lots of ups and downs,
We were put on one pitch but the awning was on a slope, very accommodating staff, we asked if we can be moved and they did. Staff really friendly and helpful.
Charmouth walking distance down hill, caught bus back. Lyme Regis close by too

The pitches for touring caravans are much too small. Tight squeeze for caravan, awning and car parked on the pitch which does not leave room for BBQ or seating outside, or for children to play around your own caravan.
Toilets/showers need a thorough clean due to staining and desperately need updating. We resorted to using our own facilities in the caravan.
Disappointed as paid a much higher fee for the holiday than what we usually do for likewise sites on which we have experienced much better pitches and cleaner facilities.
On a positive note, the staff/gardens were very pleasant.

Staff were very pleasant and helpful.
Tents which are pitched on non electric pitches are some distance away from showers and toilets. Not an issue for us but maybe something you want to consider when booking.
Also cleanliness of toilets and showers could have been better in my opinion. The cafe was not open all day, which seemed odd as it was peak season.
Overall it was ok but probably would not return.

Great campsite, beautiful views and very peaceful
Facilities are excellent, very clean toilet/shower blocks with changing area in the shower cubicle,
Separate hand basins in separate cubicles that give washers some privacy
Also has a good mirror and hairdryer…. Perfect.
Beautiful lakes and walks around the site and the swimming pool is excellent and the bar is just perfect to sit and relax after a walk or swim.
A small shop to get all those little things that you might need
I would without doubt give this campsite a 9 out of 10

This is a really lovely, well cared for and maintained campsite, with generous sized and level pitches, most of which have terrific views of the beautiful undulating countryside beyond.
The manager and staff are very friendly and responsive. The indoor pool was immaculate. Due to covid restrictions there were limited numbers allowed in the pool at any one time and so one had to pre-book a time slot (which could be done a day in advance). The slots were 40mins long which was ideal (especially after being mauled for the duration by my three kids) and there was no arguing from the kids to stay longer when the lifeguard said 'everybody out!'. It created a nice end, which I would advocate them keeping post Covid restrictions.
There were three toilet/shower blocks and even though the site was full none of our contingent had to wait to wash or spend a penny. Two of the blocks had 5 or 6 heated unisex units consisting of a basin, toilet, shower (one with a bath), equipped with soap (a real boon as that is rarity in my experience and I have lost count of how many times I have spent my said penny to then realise that I have left the soap back at the tent) and hair dryer and mirror.
The other, newer block had separate male and female sections each of which had separate toilet, basin and shower cubicles. The latter block was the pick of the bunch, perhaps due to it better design, but having toilets in cubicles rather than in the same room of the shower meant that if someone was having shower or drying hair it did not mean that the toilet, being behind the same locked door, was also out-of-use, but also that the toilet cubicle floors were dry unlike the combined units which were inevitably wet due to the showers.
There are some great walks to do from the campsite, but one word of caution, several of the coastal paths that you'll see on the current OS maps are un-passable due to purposeful neglect (i. E. Weeds left to overgrow) as the land owners understandably want to do what they can to limit coast erosion In such cases there are well marked diversions and I do suggest that you take them.
As for the environs, Charmouth, outside the costal area, in my opinion, is rather small and uninteresting, but I would very much recommend the local bakery which prides itself on simple products well done for reasonable prices. Lyme Regis though, is a must. It contains old world charm and is not garish in anyway and certainly has no pretence; it has everything you'll need from a seaside resort and is a beautiful setting.
The only negative for me about the campsite, and this is not something the site managers can do anything about, is the noise from the adjacent A35. It is certainly not overbearing, but is always there, so if you are a camper/tourer that demands perfect quiet then it would annoy you, but for most, I suspect, like for us, it would be fine.
As others have mentioned, the site itself, despite having the trappings of a 'resort' does still feel like a traditional campsite (which is a massive positive). It is certainly top-end in terms quality among UK sites,

Well l have read through some of the reviews and l think l must have been on another site. We spent 4nights here and found unlike everyone else the shw/wc blks were not clean and did not appear to be cleaned whilst we were there. Toilets had the same stains of human waste on them for several days, litter ie toilet paper and leaves in the same spots again over several days.
We did put our concerns to the receptionist who at first said that they are cleaned daily basis, however when we pointed out the above she did say that there had been a problem with cleaning staff and that the general manager was actually cleaning the blks at that moment.
This was our second visit to wood farm however we will think twice before we return.
On a positive note we were at the top of the site which had amazing views across the valley.
We understand that this site has recently been taken over by Park Holidays lets hope they they do a better job in the future.

Thought I would leave a current review of this site as when I was looking at reviews to possibly book, there were no recent ones!
We had 5 nights at this lovely site and would highly recommend it.
We had some Caravan and Motorhome Club vouchers to use and this park kindly accepted them when a different affiliated site would not. So first good point!
The site is well laid out and while big, does not feel so owing to the different areas and terracing. Views were great from most pitches of far reaching countryside.
We had a standard unserviced pitch which was generous and well kept.
The toilet/shower facilities were fantastic, each large room having a toilet, shower, wash basin, heater and hair drier. So much room to move around in and keep everything dry! They were extremely clean and perfect for the current social distancing!
Two blocks meant no queues either.
The shop was adequate for most basics including a daily newspaper and the staff were extremely helpful and courteous.
We did not use the indoor pool but it looked great, as did the indoor play area which was currently closed.
Unfortunately the visiting curry van had problems during our stay so did not appear but we were told of this to enable alternative food arrangements (an Indain takeaway delivered from Lyme Regis!)
We did make use of the fish and chip van and the meal was superb.
Plenty of walks from the site, both Charmouth and Lyme Regis reachable. We also made use of the bus service to Bridport and West Bay, the stop being a short walk from the site entrance.
This obviously means that background road noise can be heard from this site but we did not find it at all obtrusive and the advantages outweigh this easily.
We highly recommend this site and found it perfect for our short break and it was also extremely good value for money!

Yes it’s clean and the staff are great but it’s as noisy as staying in a motorway service station.
We booked for a week and stayed for one night - not a relaxing place to stay at all. T
he staff were sympathetic, and we wrote to the directors who could not be bothered to reply. There are much better places to stay
