No overnight parking! Please stop using for overnighting, otherwise campers could get barred from using this wonderful car park.
Ce parking est le point de départ d'une belle randonnée jusqu'à Durdle Door le long de la côte escarpée (environ 10 km aller-retour). Nous ne nous étions garés ici que pour la randonnée, mais cela devrait être également acceptable pendant la nuit. Quelque chose derrière le parking est un peu plus calme. La vue est tout simplement superbe. (Le camping et le stationnement de nuit sont strictement interdits dans ce parking)
This car park is the starting point for a nice hike to Durdle Door along the steep coast (about 10km round trip). We had only parked here for the hike but that should be ok also over night. Something behind the parking is a bit quieter. The view is simply great. (Overnight camping and parking are strictly prohibited in this car park)
Dieser Parkplatz ist der Ausgangspunkt für eine schöne Wanderung nach Durdle Door entlang der steilen Küste (ca. 10 km Hin- und Rückfahrt). Wir hatten hier nur für die Wanderung geparkt, aber das sollte auch über Nacht in Ordnung sein. Etwas hinter dem Parkplatz ist etwas leiser. Die Aussicht ist einfach toll. (Übernachtcamping und Parken sind auf diesem Parkplatz strengstens untersagt.)

Spam6101/11/2022Didn't spot the "no overnight" sign til the morning. Very quiet apart with a fantastic view across to Portland, great sunset. Buffeted by constant strong wind. I like getting away with wild camping, no harm done, leave no trace.

Lovely views over Portland, really quiet perhaps a tad windy as so high up.
SamParsley15/08/2022Made this our "day base" for a long weekend, arriving for breakfast & heading off after sunset to our campsite up the road. This place has 360° views, lots of space, breeze, peace, and it's free to NT members. Far away from the crazy school holiday crowds :) Walked down to Ringstead beach one day, cycled over to Lulworth/Durdle across track & field the next.

National Trust carpark. Fine for the day or a trip to the beach. Says no camping or overnight stays, so do so at your own risk
KeefMate202023/06/2021It seemed last year that NT had chilled out about respectful overnighting. Had many a lovely night in Dorset, Devon and Cornwall NT carparks - several having honesty boxes and local amenities to patronize. Encountered friendly NT staff that didn’t bat an eyelid. I was going to join NT this year with a family membership. Their attitude this year though has put me right off.

Happily fell asleep the around midnight lots of boy racers arrived and proceeded to race each other around the our van and the car park. Not pleasant kinda terrifying in the dark. Would avoid as a night camp up However was nice in the morning. Might be okay in the summer when more vans have taken up the space?

Great views! amazing drop away hillside durdle door style. bit windy pops while we were there...the van was rocking regardless. woke up to sheep but no national trust people taking reg plates but we were outta there! early doors. few people up there in campers...super quiet and no bother from anyone.

Overnight camping and parking are strictly prohibited in this car park by National Trust Byelaws. Please help us look after these special sites by following on site signage and not camping/ overnight parking here. Kind regards National Trust North & West Dorset team.
Right2roamrich11/08/2020Cracking spacious location stunning views of Portland and Weymouth Bay. A gathering of cars did arrive late evening, didn't cause any trouble, left their rubbish and went. Fantastic quiet night's sleep apart from a few sheep in the background. Smugglers Inn pub 2.2 miles walk down the valley and along the seafront.

Great views out to Portland and a nice pebble beach 10 mins walk down the hill. plenty of other Van's and no issues staying over night.
- rafrichard28/05/2020
National trust employers currently taking campervan numberplates at about 8.30 am and asking not to come back. No fine given.

Spent the night here, absolutely beautiful location with Panoramic views of the ocean. Can get a bit windy because it’s so exposed but worth it for the views. No amenities but it’s free. Sign says not to camp but there were lots of campers. The space is really big so can fit a lot of campers without being in each other’s space
- MrsWottinger07/10/2019
Spent two nights here undisturbed. Fantastic views across the bay and harbour. Can get a bit windy up here so watch your pop top if you have one.

Really nice and quiet, had a couple of locals turn up and eat takeaways. 3 other campers and a tent were there overnight. Really nice views.
- chacal2814/07/2019
Très belle vue. Nous y avons passé une nuit sans soucis . Lieu à préserver. Pour aller jusqu'à durdle door c'est assez sportif mais faisable
- alf663326/06/2019
Aussicht topp. Super für Küstenwanderung zum Durdle Door, ist aber ein anspruchsvoller Weg, kein "Spaziergang". NO OVERNIGHT PARKING. Muss jeder selbst entscheiden, ob oder nicht, auch wenn es nicht regelmäßig kontrolliert wird.
- Desus09/06/2019
Auch wir haben den Platz für die Wanderung zum Durdle Door genutzt. An der Küste hin und über die Felder zurück. Wir beschlossen nachts zu bleiben. Es waren noch andere Wohnmobile da. Wir hatten keine Probleme.
victoriawallace8807/06/2019No amenities and a bit windy but worth it for the breathtaking views out towards the harbour. We ignored the no overnight parking sign as per other reviews and had no trouble.
6pieds8pattes29/05/2019Parking en herbe et terre. Accès plat, un portail étroit mais notre 2,40 m de large est passé sans souci. Vue magnifique et randonnée très belle. Nous avons décidé de passer la nuit avec 4 autres véhicules. Des véhicules sont arrivés dans la soirée pour faire des dérapages pendant une heure. Nuit calme par la suite.

Wunderschöner platz wir blieben dort zwei nächte. tolle Spaziergänge.

Stayed here a number of times overnight. Ignore the no overnight sign, no one comes around, very quiet but can be windy. Great views across to Weymouth, Portland, Kimmeridge bay and Tynham village which is well worth a visit.
- Chrissi28/12/2017
Very nice spot, though very muddy after rain. No overnight parking allowed. Many dog walkers in the morning and the sheep come to greet you.

Total ruhiger Platz. Am 30.08.17 hier übernachtet. Noch 2 weitere Mobile vor Ort. Keine Probleme. Keine Infrastruktur! Tolle Aussicht. Klasse Wandermöglichkeit. Freilaufende Schafe
- Simate31/08/2017
No overnight parking!
- lolotte2411/08/2017
Super point de vue. Route assez facile d'accès pour les camping-cars. Ne pas tenir compte du panneau "no car park overnight". Un horodateur est présent mais il n'est pas (encore) en service.
