From the manager: Thank you very much for your review and comments. We're glad that you enjoyed your stay but am sorry to hear that you found the extra charges for WiFi and the use of our hairdryers, not to your liking.
We charge for WiFi in order to provide our guests with a stable and efficient connection by preventing overloading of the network. Our packages are very reasonable and start from as little as £2.50, depending on our guests' individual needs. Although we charge a small fee of 50p to cover the cost of electricity whilst drying your hair, the hairdryers in both the mens' and ladies' shower blocks are provided free of charge.
We thank you for staying with us hope you will reconsider visiting us again.
Kind regards

Liked: We stay as grandparents with 2 grandchildren.
We were met at the gate with a warm friendly welcome and escorted to our pitch where all the site facilities were pointed out and explained.
Showers and toilet block was modern and clean 🙂.
Small shop on site but had all the essentials and more.
Small play park but kept our grandchildren entertained (ages 5 and 7).
We will definitely be returning to this site.
Disliked: There was nothing to dislike about this site.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: We tent pitched at Whitemean caravan park for 2nts earlier this week. Lone parent, two children and two dogs. We also had two other family members book and come along to join us, in their own tent pitch.
The staff/family were really helpful and pitched us close together for our ease and convenience. The check in, site navigation, and rules were all straightforward and efficient. The site itself is immaculate. Facilites immaculate. Alot of pride has gone into the site and the day to day running of it.
Decent, peaceful and respectful campers & holiday makers will do well here and appreciate here. Highly recommended.
Ideal base location for exploring the Jurassic coast which was our main aim as a family.
Thank you for having us Whitemead caravan park.

Electric grass pitch
Liked: We stayed here for two nights at the weekend and couldn't fault our stay at all. All long-term campers, as well as the staff that greeted us on arrival, were lovely. The gentleman who showed us to our pitch gave us information on everything we needed to know and the ladies in the office were bubbly and friendly.
We particularly liked the radio in the shower/toilet block. Such a small touch but brightens everybody's mood and gives you something to jig along to if you require a midnight wee!
Pitches were clean and flat, the place was well maintained, plenty of bins, and a lovely walk down the track to the river no more than 5 minutes. Of course, the fantastic weather was a lovely addition to our stay but sunshine or not, this place would've ticked all of our boxes.
Disliked: ((Absolutely not a dislike)) For those that tend not to take food with them, bear in mind there isn't a massive amount of food places to take food away from. There are lovely pubs nearby and a Chinese but, particularly with our dog, we were looking for places we could return to camp to eat! We were happy to have the lovely chippy down the road for two nights in a row but there is little to no deliveroo/ubereats. Something to bear in mind!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. We're delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us. It was lovely to have you on site and hope you will be visiting us again soon.
For next time, please do visit us in reception to pick up some leaflets of local eateries and take away places in the area that do their own deliveries to our campsite (not through JustEat, Deliveroo and UberEats) such as The 29029 Restaurant, a lovely Indian restaurant, and Street Pizza for Italian pizzas, pasta and the like, to name a just a couple. Our staff have tried them all and can recommend each one personally. ;)
We look forward to seeing you again soon. :)
