Wonderful campsite. Very friendly and helpful reception team. Facilities super clean. Great vending machines for 24 hour snacks, milk, ice-cream and orange juice. Close to pub and farm shop. Dog-friendly with lovely walks on the doorstep. Ideally located for visiting wonderful Dorset.

So surprised as we arrived! Loads of people there, but still plenty of room. Secure entry/exit, 24/7 vending machines for snacks, coffee, and real milk. Clean facilities with plenty of hot water.

We had an unplanned stay at Portesham after our booked campsite flooded. They could not have been more accommodating at Portesham, enabling us to pitch before the official arrival time. The site is lovely; well maintained and excellent clean facilities. We loved the dog exercise field, with added rabbits to chase for Ruby! It's a great location for exploring Dorset, with a pub and farm shop within a five minute walk too!

An amazing site with great facilities. The staff were lovely and friendly, we have 3 dogs and they loved the big field to run around in. There were some great places to visit nearby, we had 10 nights and the weather was been beautiful. It had great onsite vending machines where you can get a lot of different things, the milkshakes were lovely. A 5 star site which I would visit again.

This site was really well kept and the facilities were spotless. We arrived just at the end of the summer holidays so there was plenty of space in between the pitches. The showers were really really good (but I do wonder what the queues would be like at peak season). The walks for the dog were superb direct from the campsite. The farm shop was an added bonus, with delicious home made products. The local pub was also very good. I would highly recommend this site. The only observation is that it was hard to drag the waste water over the gravel path to the tipping point - so maybe a little concrete path would make it easier for us oldies?

Everything about this site was fab. The staff were helpful and friendly. The location was brilliant. Close to a shop, pub, café and bus stop to the coast. A series of vending machines supplied milk, butter, cake, eggs and lots more. I'd definitely go again.

The site team work really hard to keep the facilities clean. They had a presence and were friendly and approachable, and you could see their commitment to their work. The location of the site is fab. Really easy to get to many local attractions. The vending machine was a hit. I think overall value for money was quite low. Although the facilities were clean, there were only a couple of showers and a couple of toilets for a large site. The site was also packed and it felt like everyone was too close together. The site was quite loud at night. The park could also do with some more play equipment. There wasn't very much - a slide and a set of swings. The space could be utilised better for children, in my opinion.

Thank you for your kind review comments and suggestions. We are pleased that you liked the location of the site, vending machines and staff. This time of year we are really busy and it may feel that the campsite is full, but we do check that everyone is on the right pitch and pitched up properly. The play park is meant for the smaller children as well as the playing field. There are lots of walks and attractions around Portesham and Abbottsbury for children as well as Weymouth Beach and the Dorset Jurassic Coast. We hope that you will visit us again.

We decided on a last minute getaway to celebrate a family 80th birthday (just bought a new caravan). Showers and toilets clean, the whole site was very clean and well maintained. The only bit I wasn't a fan of was the tight roads, but it couldn't be helped. Overall was an amazing place to stay and 20 minutes from Weymouth beach/ town centre.

Lovely site. Clean and tidy and lovely clean showers/toilets. The showers were nice and hot and temperature controlled so you could have it as hot, or cool, as you wanted. We had a pitch away from the children's play area and had no noise from kiddies whatsoever. Lots of choice in the vending machines and fab dog walking area. We'd certainly come back again, and we're really fussy about sites we choose.

A nice place to stay, easy to find and very clean and tidy. If you are taking a caravan, I recommend you book a large pitch as the smaller pitches are quite close together and at busy times, if you have a caravan and awning, things could get cosy. Lucky for us, the site was quieter, so over the length of our stay (11 nights) we only had one small motorhome parked next to us. Good points for the site are its auto barrier system with number plate recognition (24 hour operation) so no messing with pin numbers or cards. There was also a vending machine area that did ice creams, pasties, meat, drinks, so these were available 24 hours as well which was good. The toilets and showers, and grounds were kept excellently. The roads on the site were wide enough but had a covering of loose stone which "rattled" the wheels on my caravan toilet cassette. The Rooks that have been mentioned in other reviews were present coming in to roost at nightfall and were quite spectacular if a little noisy with all their chattering but they soon fell quiet. We would visit again.

A lovely quiet site with well-sized pitches. The vending machines offer a good range of foodstuffs and other essentials, as well as fresh milkshakes and a range of coffees. The shower block and toilets were clean and well-presented, as were the washing room and laundry. The use of a field of dog-exercising is also a positive. The staff were friendly and approachable, both before and during the stay. The village is historic and beautiful, with a great pub at its heart.

First of all, I have to mention the cleanliness of the main shower block etc, it was spotless. The staff were cleaning all the time it seemed and they all friendly and helpful. There was a little park for our 3 year old to play on and kept him entertained for a bit. If you ran out of supplies, they have the essentials at the reception and if out of hours, the automated vending machines were very good. We left our motorhome daily and used the bus service, which was very good and easy, esp with a 3 year old. The pub across the road did nice food and a decent pint and was open all week, but just check the Sunday openings as we found pubs did close earlier on a Sunday, I'm sure that one didn't though. The holiday was enjoyable and we will be back to the campsite again.

We loved this site so much we enquired about a Seasonal Pitch before leaving. The site is immaculately maintained. All facilities are spotless. The shower was better than ours at home! And all staff were friendly, courteous, and helpful. After more than 50 years of caravanning and motirhoming I’d say this site is in the top three in the U.K. we have stayed at. We love it!

First time away in a very long time and we were more than impressed with the site. Reception staff are extremely accommodating and facilities are great, with lovely warm showers. The added bonus of the vending machines for milk etc is great and also the farm shop is within walking distance. Will be back for sure and even extended our trip from 1 night to 3.
