Campsites for hikers in Wareham Forest

·

In Wareham Forest, camping is all about lacing up your boots and hitting the trails. You’ll find over 1,400 campsites here that cater to hikers—think sweet-smelling pine, sandy paths, and ancient woodland just outside your tent flap. If you’re after a spot with toilets, showers, and room for your dog, you’re sorted; most sites offer these facilities. Prices start as low as £10 a night, with the average around £60. For a local’s favourite, check out Sweet Hill Farm (142 reviews), where you can pitch up and walk straight into wild Dorset countryside. Brig's Farm (66 reviews) keeps things simple and close to the trails, while Wookey Farm (64 reviews) offers riverside walking and a working farm vibe. You’ll also find horseback riding and fishing nearby if you want to mix things up after a day’s ramble. Bring sturdy boots and a good torch—Wareham’s forest paths can get dark, and you’ll want to spot the deer before they spot you.

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.
