What visitors say
The Dorset Hideaway was a great find; ideally located for Lyme Regis and Eype beach. We had a wonderful 3 night stay on an electric grass pitch with our tent - 3 adults, 1 child and 2 dogs. Communication prior and after our stay from Ryan and his family was excellent, we were met promptly on arrival to show us to our pitch. Facilities were very clean and looked newly refurbished. There was a dog grooming parlour on site, complete with bath and drying facilities and also an enclosed area for the dogs to run around off their leads. My son enjoyed the tractor rides and was welcomed by other families to join them playing cricket and rounders. I’m thankful my husband was driving though as the entrance to the Dorset Hideaway was located down some single track lanes, so not for the faint hearted, lol! We would highly recommend this site to other families looking for some quality family time.

We booked a 2-night stay in the glamping pods to celebrate my partner’s birthday, and it was a lovely experience overall. The hosts went the extra mile by decorating the pod beautifully for the occasion, which made it feel very special and thoughtful. Although the weather wasn’t great during our stay, we still thoroughly enjoyed the cozy, peaceful atmosphere and quality time together. The pod itself was comfortable and well maintained, making it a perfect little retreat despite the poor weather. We would definitely recommend this place for a relaxing getaway. One small suggestion for improvement would be internet connectivity — there was no Wi-Fi available, and a solution like Starlink could really enhance the experience, especially for longer stays. Overall, a wonderful stay and a memorable birthday celebration.

A really quiet campsite, in the middle of nowhere and perfect for stargazing. Just what we needed. The pitches are huge and we could camp where we liked. Toilets and showers were clean and modern, but there are only 2 of each in the ladies, so I would imagine it if were busier you'd have to wait at peak times. We didn't have to queue, so all good.

Another wonderful caravan holiday at The Dorset Hideaway! We have the stay and store option which requires a reasonable monthly storage payment. We book our holiday, pay a nominal fee to have our caravan placed on pitch and put away afterwards. IE, no towing, no stress. A great place to stay at a very affordable nightly rate. We love staying here. The roads to eg Bridport are a little tricky but just take your time and keep your speed down. Bridport is a buzzing destination, vibrant, lively with plenty of great shops. Whilst there is no shop at the campsite,Morrisons at Bridport provides most of your needs. We drop in there after the days out to shop.
