This is a lovely quiet site, easy access and well laid out. The facilities were spotless and the wardens were friendly and really helpful. We will definately visit again

Excellent site
Our second visit, we like this site for the easy access to the coast and nice towns to visit - Bridport, Lyme Regis, Weymouth etc. Hive beach and cafe are highly recommended.
The pitches are a good size and well laid out. We haven't had problems with other pitches, but this time we were on what looked like a recently refurbished hardstanding pitch covered with a sort of pea gravel. I found it impossible to get screw pegs to take but smooth rock pegs were OK with some effort. Quite a few had to be re-pegged over the week and they pulled out. It was very calm while we were there, I wouldn't have been so confident with the awning had it been windy.
The pitches with hedges around them are lovely and a good size, so choose carefully if you can. We were allocated a pitch on arrrival, which didn't seem necessary due to the number of empty pitches, but I suppose it gets outfits onto their pitch quicker, especially as it's not a site you can easily tour round with your caravan in tow.
The dog walk is the best of any site we have been on, and the easy walks direct from the site are excellent. The walk across fields and down the lane to Bridport is easy and a pleasant alternative to driving. The site is beautifully maintained, the hedges and trees must be a full time job1 We'll definitely be returning.
A well managed Gem of a Site with unfulfilled potential
First visit to this site. 3 Adults.
A Charming site just outside Bridport, well placed for local area touring and a good range of supermarkets just a mile or two down the road.
The site is very pretty and has exquisitely trimmed low hedges dividing well proportioned pitch areas and roadways. [I trust wardens are paid extra for this detailed work! It is not 'just' like sitting on a mower and cutting the grass - and so much more intricate manouevring for them to even do that here!]
The wardens are friendly, helpful and welcoming. They couldn't do more to help. They even offer a choice of pitches - based on the unit length. That was extremely thoughtful pitch management.
The site, as I began, is pretty with lovely views and some gorgeous sunsets. The facilities building appears to have been developed in phases but even the newer section is in serious need of an upgrade. I see previous reviews about an upgrade being "scheduled" but feel that to release the potential of this well placed site, that work needs to happen urgently. There is what appears to be an unused 'stable' building which could be the ideal way to get the showers and toilets upgraded and extended in number without closing the site.
C'mon Finance Team.... invest in this little gem, like sooooon.
Location, location, location
Stayed here on our way down to Devon to break up the travelling for the kids. Whilst this site is excellently located for visiting the local area, it’s very tightly packed in and you need either a motor mover or advanced driver’s license to back your caravan into these narrow pitches whilst avoiding the concrete water bollard. We and several other members has to do a 90 degree manoeuvre to get our outfit onto the plots, and the roadways between are also tiny, made me sweat I can tell you !! You also don’t get the chance to choose your pitch it’s already allocated when you arrive so you too can end up doing the caravan shuffle ! The narrow pitches mean next doors kids sound like their running in your caravan which our kids found extremely annoying whilst trying to sleep. The 10amp power supply is also a pain on this site, we are in 2022 so we can’t see why this hasn’t been upgraded, get used to running out to the board to reset the breaker. The facilities are basic but clean, and the wardens were very accommodating and helpful. Not sure why there is an 11am check out on this site, the access roads only a short one and the main roads not an issue. Caused us a major headache with our next site and it’s 1pm arrival time…… see our Ramslade review !! Overall we wouldn’t pick this site to stay at again with Its limitations which is a shame as it is really handy for exploring the surrounding coastline. Maybe the club can buy the empty field which is on the way in on the access road, and turn it into something special…..
Perfect seasonal pitch
We had a seasonal pitch at Bingham Grange we would like to highly recommend all the staff they were very professional but extremely inclusive thank you so much for adding to our on site experience .The site was kept very tidy and clean although I note some comments refer to the site and facilities as being in need of upgrade we can only speak as we find and they were more than adequate always clean with hot water available at all times we understand the site is due for refurbishment ,we hope it is done sympathetically and does not spoil the ambiance of the site
many thanks again to the staff
Great site - very well kept and run by the Club Team
A great site which is very well run by a friendly and efficient team - very helpful and welcoming.
We will certainly be coming back as we had such a lovely weeks holiday there.
Good but requires a bit of improvement
Can't fault the staff or wardens, they were friendly as usual. The site could do with a bit of an update, the showers weren't great and it was hard work with kids. However, the site was lovely in my opinion. The pitches are all different and we were on one with a bit of grass to the side which was surrounded by hedges so created a natural barrier between the pitch and the road for the kids. It was a great location for getting to all sorts of places, Weymouth, Lyme Regis, Charmouth, etc. despite the fact that it needs a bit of TLC, I'd still stay there again.
Nice but needs a little tlc
The site requires some tlc especially the toilet block. There are insufficient facilities for the size of the site. The laundry room is also the washing up area far too small. The roads are dust tracks so your feet / shoes are always dusty walking to the toilet block. The pitches (we were on the lower site) are on a slope so you definitely require 2 or more blocks to level your caravan. The pitch sizes are narrow to the extent you have to park your car in front of your caravan not at the side like every other site I have visited.
The positive are that the site has a good location for visiting other towns and the wardens were friendly. It just need’s modernising and the pitches spacing out to provide more privacy and space to relax.
Lovely, peaceful site.
Third visit to this site, love that we can walk into Bridport as we don't like moving the van once we are parked up. The dog walking from the site is very good too.
Maybe the best thing is the amount of greenery around the site with a number of pitches being separated by hedging, this gives a nice feeling of privacy and is good for the wildlife.
The Pymore Inn is within walking distance and the food there was very good.

A West Dorset Gem
This was a characterful and much different to the normal style of Club-site.
Wardens Team were friendly and helpful, landscaping and gardens were superb.
Our ten night stay on a Serviced pitch was stress free and a great location for exploring all of Dorset.
A few minor niggles include the much mentioned shower facilities, not really enough when the site is full, only one toilet disposal point, and Internet reception was pretty none existent on the club internet front - bothers the kids far more than me.
We will return to this former farm-yard style site as it was so pretty and unique.
