Farm campsites in Dorset guide

Overview

Along Dorset's sandy beaches sits the rolling countryside, where campers can find unique opportunities for farm stays while camping in the region. Blackmore Vale, part of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, features pastoral fields, woodlands, and orchards with popular sites like Duncliffe Wood, Hambledon Hill, and Fiddleford Manor. Farm camping options in the AONB include tent and glamping sites equipped with potable water, toilets, and nearby produce shops. In southeast Dorset, the Isle of Purbeck features some of the area's most scenic beaches, including Swanage and Studland beaches, and historical attractions like Lulworth Castle and Corfe Castle. Farm stays with tent pitches and yurt rentals are available inland, providing toilets, showers, firepits, and comfy bedding, alongside straw bale benches with scenic views. To the southwest, find Chesil Beach and Fleet Lagoon, a saline lake that is home to a mute swan colony. Nearby farm and barn campsites may offer pre-pitched, fully furnished tents with firepits and cooking equipment as cattle graze nearby.
