Location & Views
Pros:
"Lovely location in beautiful surroundings."
"The walk from the Holiday Park to the Durdle Door is memorable and definitely worth coming back to again."
"Such an amazing place to see."
"The views are amazing."
"It is within walking distance to lulworth cove and durdle door arch."
"The views are absolutely stunning, especially at sunset."
"Wonderfully situated adjacent to Durdle Door, and easy access to the whole of the Jurassic coastline."
Cons:
"The price for camping is similar to a hotel, what is this?!"
"The car park is extremely busy, hundreds of cars and literal coach loads of people."
"Beautiful location but shame about the noise from the car park through the night."
"No easy access to the coast...used to be a road but they blocked it off and now we have to walk further around."
"The only negative is that the campervan pitches are very sloping."
"£50 for one night on a very unlevel gravel pitch."
"The gravel is more like hard-core than gravel and very sharp."
Accommodation & Facilities
Pros:
"The static caravan was ideal with a little one (8 months) we went for the 3 bed so grandparents could come along for a few nights too!"
"The rooms had so much space which is very uncommon in caravans."
"Toilets and bathroom are like 1 minute walk from the pods. Very clean."
"The static caravan was exceptionally clean and really comfortable."

"The shared toilets, showers, kitchen was all very clean and had great facilities."
"Our shepherd's hut was so lovely."
Cons:
"Unfortunately the toilets/shower block is getting tired. Lack of cleaning and not done to a very good standard."
"Our shepherd's hut... needed a deep clean though."
"The cabin itself was lovely, and the facilities were great. Cleaning was atrocious."
"The shower water in the men's bathroom is absurdly hot and the women's bathroom almost cold."
"The shower and toilet block feels tired, neglected and a bit tatty."
"Pod 6, was cute and cozy, just didn't feel very clean, couple of big dead flys on the floor when i arrived and muddy/wet floor."
"The only thing that let it down was house keeping not doing there job properly went to get in to bed pulled the quilt back to find a dirty sheet which had a stain of bodily fluids from the previous peoples night of passion."
Staff & Service
Pros:
"I cannot rate Durdle Door Holiday Park highly enough! I absolutely love it!"

"Very friendly and helpful reception staff."
"The lady on the buggy was so friendly, made sure we was okay and asked if we had any questions etc."
"Staff were always helpful and knowledgeable."
"The staff were fantastic, really helpful and friendly and we had a wonderful trip."
Cons:
"Staff like going around on their buggies with megaphones but not cleaning or tidying it appears."
"I don’t think I’ve ever been to a campsite where I’ve felt so uncomfortable and where rules are enforced like laws."
"Because of the wardens, the park has a really horrible atmosphere."
"The staff were unfriendly and unwelcoming. Especially the site warden."
"The wardens on site patrol around like they are some sort of privatised police force trying to enforce a nanny state onto families who are just trying to enjoy a break."
"The wardens also asked personal inappropriate questions of our child when he was alone."
"There are two staff members who spend the majority of the day patrolling the site in a buggy, keeping an eye on everyone to ensure you stick to the extremely strict site rules."
Value & Pricing
Pros:
"Loved it excellent location, nice quiet park couldn't ask for more."
"Pub & Spar shop on-site with everything you could need."
"A well kept park, tidy and clean."
"Very peaceful, great value for money in the shop and bar/restaurant on site!"
"Great value for money in the shop and bar/restaurant on site!"
"The price of a stay here is perhaps higher than similar sites, but the beach and Durdle Door offer ample compensation."
"Overall great holiday, we will be back."
Cons:
"So because of the cashless element, I am unlikely to return."
"The only kitchen facilities were sinks to wash your dishes in. No water taps - just electric hookup."
"This place used to be better. now you don't have any freedom, they just want more of your money."
"Although we recommend, disappointingly they have raised the prices by almost twice what we paid the last 2 years for the same week."
"Charged £28 per night, but unfortunately hurt my leg so had to cancel. No refund, no credit note."
"TOTAL RIP-OFF! Terrible customer service, overcharge everyone, do not accept cancelations in 30 days even if it is dangerous or risky due to storms."
"Parking there is about 10£/day at least that was in 2021."
