First time camping

Very nice location. Road to site very narrow but plenty of passing places. Toilets however, not good. 5 out of 10 out of order showers were good. Near beach. All in all, nice stay, would book again.

Thank you from all of the team.

Lovely getaway location

A lovely location to camp or stay in a caravan/lodge, plenty of walks and hikes for all age groups. The on site food trucks were a blessing especially with the poor weather, and were reasonably priced. The only thing I would suggest for improvement would be to increase the showers, especially to be available on the Big Berries campsite field. It would get extremely busy in the morning for the use of the showers and there would be no hot water. All in all, a fantastic getaway!

Great bank holiday weekend trip

Lovely, clean and tidy site. Good location - close to the beach and the South West Coastal Path, beautiful scenery. And we even made it to Bridport to run in a very wet Park Run! Staff in the reception were super helpful, always polite. Great Tikka van on Sunday evening too. Facilities were good, lovely shower and wash block - and the washing up facilities were good too. My only criticism is that the showers were lukewarm at best - however, it was only a couple of days, so not a real problem.

Thank you for the great feedback.

Great location but facilities lacking

Big Berries camping field does now have flushing toilets and sinks with running water. However, there were only 10 of these to be shared by at least 200 people and throughout the duration of our stay, 2 of these were out of order. These toilets were serviced once a day (mid-morning), so the bins overflowed and toilet paper ran out. Showers and washing up facilities are a good 5-10 minutes walk (depending on where on Big Berries you are pitched) and there were only 3 ladies and 4 men's showers.

Thank you for the feedback. The main facility block is just outside the field and the porto-cabin is a recent addition, which we clean twice a day.

Great site in a great location

We met with friends so we had 4 groups camping together; 2 families with teenagers and two couples, we also had three dogs. So the site for this gathering was pretty much perfect. We had enough space and as you help yourself to pitches. We arrived at 1pm and got a big enough space for us all to camp together. The location is great, so close to the beach and a really nice pub. We didn't drive anywhere all weekend as we had everything we needed there. The facilities were really new and clean. This is a relaxed campsite so that may not suit everyone, it was probably noisy at night for those who went to bed before 12.

Thank you for the excellent review.

Long weekend

The only issue were with the toilets. A lot of people were getting stuck in them, as they weren't aware that the handle needs lifting to be able to turn the lock. Apart from that, it was a great stay. Plenty of room and available facilities really close.

Great stay, excellent facilities and plenty of space

We arrived to a large field with plenty of choice where to set up. Toilets and shower block were very clean and more than enough for the amount of visitors. It was hard to find a flat spot but the views were so worth it. We will be booking again.

Thank you for the lovely review, we are pleased that everything was clean.

Camping chaos

We stayed here at peak holiday time, although the site did not appear full. Big Berries camping field. Unbelievable that we had to walk quite a way off the camping field and up the hill, into the park home area, just to get a shower and wash our dishes. In the end, we drove round as I have mobility issues. Moreover, the shower block had a limited number of shower cubicles. My daughter said there was just 2 showers in the ladies section (3 in gents). No wonder the queuing and delays and as stated, the field wasn't full. This block would have been shared with park home residents as well. The tent field did have a toilet block which was well kept, so I feel the site needs to re think things and add on a shower and sink washing facility block just for campers. Also, the access lane up to the site is very narrow with just an odd few passing spots for oncoming traffic. More than once, traffic backed up really bad where drivers heading to the beach just piled through without looking or waiting for cars to come through from the other way.

Site's response

Thank you for your comments. Big Berries is a field that is rented out from the local farmer for the school holidays so we cannot put a toilet block in place. We do have a festival type portaloo in the field and the 2nd on park facility block is especially open for Big Berries campers. We are sorry that this was not suitable for you.

Lovely location

A lovely location. However, facilities are a little far away with small children We had a lovely few nights away camping. However, the facilities were too far away from the field and difficult with two small children. Also, the cleanliness of the facilities were a little grubby after a day's use. The toilet's in the centre of the field were also faulty, with two people (young lady and a child) getting locked in due to hard to use doors and locks.

Site's response

Thank you for your feedback. We are aware that some people did not realise that the handles in the portacabin needed to be puled up to open the door. We are pleased that overall you enjoyed your stay.

Just really nice few days away

The whole campsite was in a really nice place and was a small walk from the beach and amazing views! My boyfriend and I stayed here, it was a really chill first little getaway! We also had a meal from the local pub, which was really nice and was very foggy, it felt so cosy in there!

Thank you for the excellent review.

Fantastic site

Fantastic location, very clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The only time I had a problem, was to charge my phone, no plug sockets anywhere.

Site's response

Thank you for your feedback. We have electric points in the laundry on the park, or we can charge your phone in the reception for a small fee.

Great time at Golden Cap!

We had an amazing weekend at Golden Cap! The campsite is huge and is located in a field, where you have various options for pitching your tent (at the bottom of the hill where it's more flat but no views on the sea, or at the top of the hill on a slope but with amazing views). The facilities are very clean. One thing I didn't really like is some people are turning on their car engine and leaving it on for a while to charge their equipment or listen to music.

Thank you for your comments, we are glad that you enjoyed the views.

Lovely site by the sea

Lovely place. Very well maintained and child friendly. Great location. We’ll definitely be back.

Brilliant

Such a fantastic site. The cleanliness was brilliant, even the dog mess bins were spotless. They have truly thought of everything you might need, the showers and toilets were sparkling, amazing location. Genuinely couldn't fault it. Thank you!

What a lovely review, we are very proud.

Great camping on the Jurassic Coast

We really enjoyed our stay in Big Berries camping field. The location is great and very peaceful. A short walk down to the beach where we found fossils with our children. We are new to camping, the facilities here seemed great and were cleaned regularly. It was good to have the toilet block in the camping field with the facilities block a little further away. We got lucky with the best weather of the year so far, we spent a lot of time at the beach. There is pizza, ice cream, coffee and beer available from the hut by the beach. It was a short drive to Lyme Regis, which was lovely. Our children aged 9 and 6 really enjoyed their first proper camping trip.

Lovely campsite

Lovely campsite, close to the beach. The Big Berries field is the furthest away from the main entrance, so a 10 minute walk. The toilet block wasn't operational in the field, so you had to walk to next field for main shower block. This was really clean and had everything you needed and most importantly, the showers were nice and hot. Overall, a lovely site, well looked after and I would visit again.

The prices

I found the toilets a little far to get to if you needed the toilet in the night, especially for young ones. No electric hook up is available for camping which I found difficult, being my first time with no electric. Nothing else negative except the fish and chip van was so busy it took 2 hours to queue and receive my dinner leaving the children hangry!

Site's response

Thank you for your review, we do not have electric hook up at this park but our others in the area do. The fish and chip van is not part of our park.

Great site and location

Really good, clean facilities. Easy access to walking coastal path. Narrow lane for a 6m campervan but would certainly go again.
