Seatown in Dorset???

Do you mean Seaton in Devon?

What is the name of the camp site?

No I mean Seatown in Dorset they're not far from each other but different counties. The campsite is called Golden Cap Caravan Park. anybody know it?

We (us and LHD) were on the seatown beach last month , big pebbly beach , good mackerel fishing too ,
we didn't stay at seatown campsite cos it looked pricey , we stayed at Penn farm which is only a few miles away and a tenner a night

Probably a bit late, but yes we stayed there bank holiday weekend. It's very very windy, but great views of the sea!
The road in is a little narrow and hairy, but the toilets and showers were free and clean, as was the hair dryer, bonus!

Seatown..is brill, but a little bit expensive. But you get an excellent place for walks, up Golden Cap & thru the woods, and sections of the South Coast Path. & beach fishing.

The Anchor Pub serves good grub & usually have live music at weekends.

Its easy to miss when you drive thru Charmouth, there is a tiny sign & narrow lane down to the beach.

We have been going there since I was a kid. When my kids where small, 5 of us went there in an MGB GT with one of those Eskimo inflatable tents, & it used to go down & invert itself & fill with rain water..twas so funny..

But if you are passing that way its worth a stop...campsite has a small shop & there is a tiny "Gorreverthin" shop in the village of Charmouth which you can walk to, up a small lane at the back of the campsite, so no need to use the access road.

The walk up Golden Cap, is good for the legs & lungs, I used to jog up it when I was younger, but I can still wheeze up it at 61...

Its worth a stopover.
