Cabins near Wareham

·

Don’t overlook one of Dorset’s most underrated outdoor bases for your camping trip. Close to the UNESCO-listed Jurassic Coast, the handsome East Dorset town of Wareham has much in store for adventurers. For starters, it’s the former stomping ground of the ultimate adventurer, Lawrence of Arabia, whose legacy is imprinted hereabouts. And the array of outdoor action nearby sets hearts racing: Hit the Arne RSPB nature reserve for bird-watching or the Hardy Way to unpick the heritage of one of England’s most famous writers, local lad Thomas Hardy. Camping is inviting on both the Isle of Purbeck’s hills and heaths south of Wareham.

We are a family run farm situated in the beautiful Frome valley. The farm has a range of interests from the traditional Jersey milking cows to a community of workshops used by local craftsmen. The cafe serves cream teas from Easter to the end of September and pizzas are sold in evenings during the summer months. Ours is a small family run camp site with the River Frome on one side, next to the medieval buildings of Stowford Farm. The river is suitable for fishing, boating, swimming and paddling. Historic Bradford-on-Avon is only a 5 minute drive and the City of Bath 15 minutes. For those who enjoy more rural pleasures, 200 metres from the campsite Farleigh Hungerford boasts the only river swimming club in the country, and you can become an instant member for a very small fee.

North End Farm is situated in the spectacular Dorset countryside, yet only a couple of miles from the Jurassic Coast, beaches, pubs, restaurants. Wonderful walks are available on and beyond the farm. The Pavilion is a great place to rest and strike out from. The beach is 1.5 miles away. It is on a network of footpaths in the middle of it's own organic farmland. Bridport and Lyme Regis offer plenty of art and culture and are reknown for food, River Cottage and the Jurassic Coast. There is nothing better than being warm and cosy around the wood burner looking out at the great views. The Pavilion is good for couples, solo adventurers, art lovers, foodies and furry friends (pets)..

Cabins near Wareham guide

Where to go

Wareham Forest to Puddletown Forest

Wareham’s closest choice of outdoor playgrounds fans north and west from town. It’s an area flanked in the east by Wareham Forest and in the west by Puddletown Forest, while the undulating woodsy countryside in between is centred around Bovington Camp and Tolpuddle. The best way to see this area is to walk the Hardy Way straight from Wareham, as it passes Hardy’s Cottage at Puddletown Forest. Look northwest of Wareham in Wareham Forest for several top camping spots.

Jurassic Coast

This UNESCO-designated shoreline frames Dorset all the way from Studland Bay, just southeast of Wareham. With continuation into East Devon, too, it’s 96-odd miles of seaboard featuring broad sand, pebble beaches, epic cliffs, internationally important fossils, and crazy coastal formations. Studded by big seaside resorts like Swanage and pretty smaller villages like Charmouth, the coast sports campsites small and large. The area from West Lulworth to Weymouth has a lot of pitching places.

New Forest National Park

Wareham’s location in East Dorset means the New Forest, lowland Britain’s biggest tract of unimproved land and a magical mix of ancient woodland, kicks off only 23 miles to the northeast. Come to take forest walks among some of the UK’s mightiest trees and to wildlife-watch for creatures like red deer and goshawks in what was once a royal hunting ground in the days of William the Conqueror. Interesting campsites surround heart-of-the-forest destinations like Brockenhurst and Lyndhurst.

When to go

Dorset has appeal year-round, but gets very busy in high season due to its proximity to major urban centres. Therefore, April, May, and September are often the loveliest months for enjoying the coast and inland hills near Wareham, maximising chances of decent weather without crowds. Wareham Carnival sees the biggest local festivities in July, but September is an excellent month for nearby festivals, like Swanage’s Folk Festival and the Dorset Seafood Festival in the Weymouth area.
