Andrea's Farm Breaks is Keepers Hut glamping accommodation run alongside a working farm campsite in the heart of Purbeck. Andrea is pleased to offer a little luxury for those who want to camp at Downshay Farm in a comfortable bed. Farm is a working farm in the heart of the Isle of Purbeck, ideally located for exploring the stunning World Heritage Site coastline. The Pike family has farmed here since 1956. The farmhouse is largely Victorian although parts of the house and some farm buildings are much older. The accommodation looks out over the lovely views of Corfe Castle and the Purbeck Hills. The seaside town of Swanage is just over 4 miles away as are the sandy beaches of Studland Bay. Local footpaths and Swanage Steam Railway also make exploring Purbeck easy, and we are a few minutes’ walk from Harmans Cross Station. Enjoy the sandy beaches of Shell Bay, Studland and Swanage or go rock pooling or fossil hunting at Kimmeridge Bay. The Coastal Path will take you along the coast to Durlston Country Park, Dancing Ledge and Winspit. The deserted village of Tyneham and its own bay is a short drive away, then follow the scenic road over the Ranges to Lulworth and Durdle Door. Local attractions include Monkey World and Bovington Tank Museum, and a walk through the RSPB bird sanctuary at Arne to Poole Harbour is recommended.

West Holme Glamping is a micro-site with pre-erected bell tents in the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Just the job for romantic mini-breaks or holidays for small families, it's set in 20 acres, so there’s plenty of privacy and lots of space to roam around.
The bell tents here come equipped with a double bed, rugs, picnic tables, lanterns, a gazebo and a gas barbecue. The three showers and three toilets are shared between six tents.. You'll just need to bring your own bed linen and towels or add them to your booking.
You can explore the area by car – medieval castles, beaches, National Trust sites and the Jurassic Coast are all less than half an hour’s drive away. Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove are 20 minutes' drive away. Pretty market towns like Dorchester (also 30 minutes) or seaside resorts like Swanage (20 minutes) are all worth a mosey, while historic Wareham has Saxon town walls and riverside churches to explore. The sandy beaches of Studland and Swanage are also within half an hour's drive of the site.
If you’re feeling energetic, the Isle of Purbeck has plenty of walks and bike rides on the rocky peninsula overlooking the English Channel, as well as parts of the South West Coast Path.
The local farm shop is a five-minute walk and sells the very best of local Dorset produce if you fancy cooking on the barbecue. And if you don’t, there’s a cosy tea shop attached, and there are plenty of gastropubs serving real ales and great grub in less than a 15-minute drive too.

What an amazing spot in nature! This was an incredible getaway, such a quiet and natural space with birds, surrounded by trees and the very nearby woodlands which are covered in mushrooms, more than we could count! It was so peaceful, we loved the natural space and eco-friendly touches. We definitely want to return again! It was magical!

Really great site. Managed really well. Amazing spot in the woods and plenty of space between yourself and other campers.
Firepits are provided and you can buy wood for fires if you need.
There are some great walks nearby and plenty of stargazing!
Would really recommend this site. Had a really wonderful weekend here.
(There is a closing time of 7pm which is to be aware of and not being able to enter after that point so just something to be aware if traffic or travelling far after work.)
The toilets, eco and flushing, were really good. Didn't use the showers so cant say!

Quiet, sheltered and peaceful spot. Great location for using as a base to explore North Hampshire villages and walking trails. Was lovely in The Clearing - so much so we stayed on for an extra night! Facilities are rustic/simple (head torch needed to use the toilets day and night!) but they do the job as long as you’re prepared to get back to basics!

A very spacious campsite with well-maintained composting facilities. The scenic drive down to the site is beautiful, and the clear night skies make it perfect for stargazing. Martins and owls were active both day and night, adding to the atmosphere. On some alternate nights, music played nearby from around 10 pm to 4 am. While noticeable, it was at a consistent and tolerable volume, and importantly, it wasn’t accompanied by disruptive behaviour.

Stayed for 4 nights but felt I could’ve lived there. So well thought out and finished to a really high standard. The bed was so comfortable and the trip gave me everything I needed. The toilet block was a stones throw away, with hot showers.
The sunset views were a dream - thank you!

Absolutely loved camping at The Old Airfield. Very friendly staff and helpful. Loads of space to park up and tent so you'll never feel 'on top' of other campers. Lovely vibe, clean showers and toilets.
Had a nice bar and pizza trailer on site too to order from every night.
Very relaxing and loads of free roaming animals near by! Definitely will be coming back!

We had a wonderful time here, we stayed in the clearing which was really chilled and idilic. Listening to the sounds of owls calling at night and watching the stars was magical. Jay was really friendly and helpful and the facilities were all we needed. Shower was hot, loos were always clean no matter what time of day or night, washing up areas and drinking water - perfect. More perfect still, no wifi! Great walks and areas to explore, such a relaxing weekend and already working out when we can go back.

We camped during the week and on the Saturday. It had clean facilities and it was nice and peaceful during the week, but on the Friday night, it got slightly busier and others pitched their tents a little too close to ours (even when there was plenty of space in the middle) and were not told to move. I was woken up early by the sound of them hitting the shuttlecock (not even by them talking) that’s how close they were!

Any campsite is as good as the people who greet and help you to enjoy your stay, this place is great. Good quality clean and accessible facilities set in a large field ensuring you are never too close to anyone else allowing you to soak up the peaceful natural setting. We had good weather for our stay but I don’t think a change in weather would have dampened our stay. Would recommend this place for a visit, especially if you’re looking for a very quite location to spend your evening after exploring the local Dorset attractions

Firstly, the location - yes it’s a cool old WWII airbase! Loads of room to pitch your tent without feeling like you are encroaching on your neighbours. It’s well kept and very clean. The toilets were clean and so were the showers. There’s food (fresh pizza, pastries, etc) and drinks (a coffee / cocktail bar) on site and I thought the prices were reasonable. The staff are friendly and the place had a nice vibe. We took our dog and although she had to be kept on a lead on site, there is plenty of space close by to let her off. if you like camping and are looking to get back to basics, with a few luxuries close by, you can’t go wrong. Beautiful Mudeford is a short drive so there’s plenty to do if you want to venture out. Overall we really liked it. It was just me and my partner this time but we’ve just decided to go back in a few days, this time with the children.

We had a lovely stay at The Cleaning at Woodlands camping. The site is very family friendly — our two young kids had a fantastic time exploring and enjoying the outdoors. The location is beautiful, with plenty of family activities not too far away to keep everyone entertained. While the facilities were fairly basic, they were clean and totally functional, which was all we needed. The pitches were a great size too, giving us plenty of space. Overall, a great spot for a relaxed, kid-friendly camping trip. Would definitely recommend.

Campsites for surfing near Windsor guide
Where to go
Windsor and Maidenhead
With parks, moors, and the River Thames right on the doorstep of Royal Windsor, there's no need to travel far to get a glimpse of the great British outdoors. Mobile and caravan parks line the river's banks, while family-friendly sites such as Hurley Riverside Park offer easy access to the home counties as well as the Thames Path National Trail.
Reading
Also on the Thames Path, this historic market town is best known for its annual music festival, though its abundant farmland is home to many privately run campsites that draw visitors year-round. Campgrounds and holiday parks serve as outdoor oases in the city's vicinity, many known for kid-friendly pitches. Reading can be reached from Windsor in half an hour by road or train.
Chiltern Hills AONB
Active adventurers are sure to love the hills, fields, and woodlands that make up this Area of Natural Beauty, with a range of rambling and riding routes to choose from. There's even an annual walking festival! Several working farms offer private camping, while the scenic spots of Ashridge Estate, Ivinghoe Beacon, or Radnage Valley make for stunning sights to wake up to. The gateway town of High Wycombe is about a 25-minute drive away, or 90 minutes on public transport via Slough.
South Downs National Park
Home to countless working farms and all manner of natural retreats, the expansive and diverse South Downs National Park is a camper's paradise, just 90 minutes south of Windsor by car. You can easily explore the region's chalk hills, wooded heaths, and villages by following the South Downs Way National Trail on foot, by bike, or on horseback.
When to go
Though summer tends to bring the best weather for any outdoor pursuit in England, the vibrant colours of autumn or dramatic frosts of winter certainly have their own charms. June, July, and August are often very busy around Windsor, especially during the Reading Festival and Royal Ascot weekends.
Know before you go
- Public transport is generally camper-friendly, but if travelling with gear, it's wise to avoid peak times—especially if connecting in London.
- Some rural campsites are quite remote, so it can be useful to have a vehicle.
- You'll find a branch of Cotswold Outdoor in Windsor Yards, where you can buy or rent gear and pick up top tips.
