Why stay here ...
Greenacres Marshwood CL is located on the border of the three counties of Devon, Dorset and Somerset, in the Marshwood Vale near to the picturesque Jurassic Coastline of Lyme Regis, Charmouth and Abbotsbury.
It is a 5-van 'Members Only' recreation site offering stays up to 28 days. Sited in a beautiful and secluded rural location, with views that have to be seen to be believed, it is available for adults only.
We ask that Green Fluid only be used in CCEP.
We have transformed our shed which is available for book swapping, walking routes and local information. We offer 5 serviced pitches with water, grey waste and ehu, of which 2 pitches have lawned sites with hard stands.
We also have on our land a self catering railway wagon.
Our site offers peace and quiet and the opportunity to enjoy an outdoors experience surrounded by wildlife and farm stock. We do welcome well-behaved dogs, but would ask that they are on a lead at all times and are kept within the areas designated to ensure that our wildlife is not unduly disturbed. Our visitors often remain on site, favouring the ultimate country experience. Our chickens free range within the Greenacres garden and sheep graze in our surrounding paddocks. Home produce of hen eggs can be purchased when available.
Greenacres is a smallholding surrounded by rolling hills and fields full of wildlife and flowers. We also have a pond where you can do a spot of fishing. please ask if this interests you, when booking.
Pilsden Pen can be viewed from the site - the second highest point in Dorset and is a short drive to experience the breath-taking views across the Vale. The Golden Cap is the highest point on the South Coast of England and can be reached in less than twenty minutes. A few miles further is the delightful Dorset town of Bridport. Lyme Regis is also a popular place to visit with facilities and entertainment they offer. Plus the village of Charmouth, renowned for its fossil hunting, is only 8 miles away.
The deer regularly visit the lower meadows as the sun sets and a variety of birds of prey and owls can be seen and heard throughout the evening. During the day you may be lucky to spot a variety of wild species, from rabbits to foxes and beyond. Star-gazing can be enjoyed here too, as the farm is set back 200 metres from the road, with no light pollution to spoil the spectacle. Total peace and quiet.....
On entering Greenacres you will find sufficient space to clear the road and open the locked gateway before proceeding to the grass pitches along a hard all-weather track. There is additional parking at the entrance for extra vehicles.

It’s all about the beautiful view.
Greenacres Marshwood
The welcome was warm from Kendra & Mark and we were shown to our pitch No 4.
The views are outstanding, we were left alone to set up.
This is where we struggled, our pitch was quite sloping, and far off the hook up point, which meant the rear of the van was almost touching the ground, and the front of our van was high off the ground. However, blocks are provided to aid your corner steadies reaching the ground, but make sure that you have your levelling ramps with you. Consequently, due to the sloping ground it caused us problems with our grey waste disposal, as it was then an uphill run to the drain!
Due to the height of the caravan, our step fell far short and we were virtually having to jump out of our van.
I found that the chemical toilet disposal area was in need of de-weeding and a general sweep up.
The information shed required cobweb removal and a missing panel replacing.
The access gate was awkward to use as it dragged on the floor.
Wi-Fi is provided and is good.
TV reception is good.
The site is peaceful with fabulous views.
It’s quite a drive out to get provisions etc which can be on some challenging narrow roads. Be sure to heed advice if you are towing not to head down some of the narrow lanes.
We will not return to this site - sorry, but it’s not for us.
See Google for pictures.
Wonderful CL
Greenacres Marshwood
We have just had a week at this wonderful CL. There are two hardstanding pitches and three grass ones. Each with EHU, fresh water and grey waste disposal; the chemical waste disposal is nearby and easy to use but you MUST use green chemicals. Entrance to the site is through a large gate with security padlock. Mark was very welcoming and a great host. Wonderful walk through the meadow which right now is filled with buttercups dotted with red clover and bugloss. There is also a great walk around a small lake at the bottom of the meadow. As we were packing up on our last day we saw three kites flying overhead.
Highly recommended
Lovely jubbly site
Greenacres Marshwood
We stayed at Greenacres for 6 nights in April. A lovely site with uninterrupted views. Just 5 miles from Lyme Regis there was plenty to do within easy reach..
Pitch was a good size and our 'neighbours'...the sheep and horses were delightful.
The site is easy to find with a helpful and friendly host, who clearly wanted to ensure we enjoyed our time there. If we return to the area we would definitely use this site again.

Excellent CL site
Greenacres Marshwood
Booked for a few days over Easter, Very welcoming and attentive to any needs, they have only taken over the site since September. The CL site is lovely well maintained with beautiful views. For dog lovers there is a really nice National trust walk with amazing distant views out to Portland, Lyme Regis etc. I would say it’s about a mile from the site. I believe there is later plans to put in toilet and shower block as it would be a + and a great asset to the site. Overall a great place and very well priced and will 100% recommend and wish them all the very best in the future 👍
