What visitors say
We were lucky enough to stay in the family room (2 x adjoining rooms) over the Camp Bestival weekend and it was an absolute joy! The room was impeccably decorated and really luxurious. The staff made a huge effort to make sure we had everything we needed (including a late night bowl of cereal for the kids!). The breakfast is included and very generous. The beach is a very short drive away and there is lots to do in the local area that we didn’t scratch the surface of. We will be coming back to stay for sure. Thank you!

We stayed in a campervan on one of the sea view pitches, and the views were absolutely incredible, just as expected. The shower and toilet facilities were spotlessly clean (and air-conditioned!), although they were a bit of a walk from the sea view pitches. There’s a public toilet much closer, used by visitors to Durdle Door, which is open 24 hours. However, these aren’t managed or cleaned by the campsite, so they can be a bit hit and miss. We’d definitely stay here again.

Location is great of you want to visit Durdle Door. We stayed in our campervan on a touring pitch. The pitches were a good size with hedges both sides which made for some nice privacy. The only gripe we had was the 2pm pitch time. You have to leave your pitch at 11am so they're sat empty for 3 hours. An earlier pitch time would have made our stay even better.

Restaurant was good, staff were friendly and food was nice, camping pitches were a bit scruffy and could have been inspected before arrival, felt it was a walk through for public to go to restaurant and shop, showers where run down and not working (pressure poor and ran cold some of the time). The Abbeyfields camping site is right next to the road and there is a constant noise of traffic in and out all day. Felt overall experience not the best
