Kid around with the goats, have a gander at the geese, or talk the hind legs off Maisie the donkey at this family-oriented site a stone’s throw from the spectacular Jurassic Coastline.
The facilities at Bagwell Farm Touring Park are good, with free showers in the heated toilet block (guests can also luxuriate in a bubbly bath for a small fee), a shop selling local cider and foodie treats, a laundry room and a children’s adventure playground. If camping stove cuisine proves a conundrum, the characterful Red Barn bar and grill does a good line in home-reared beef and lamb dishes - it’s open every day between late May and the end of August, weekends only in low season.
The site welcomes tents, caravans and motorhomes of all sizes,and has a range of pitches with or without electric, water and drainage points.
Nearby attractions and activities
Hop on the bus for the five-mile ride to winsome Weymouth (in summer, the service picks up and drops off directly at Bagwell Farm during the week). The resort has lovely golden sands, plus miles of glorious walking along the famed South West Coastal Path, and watersports including windsurfing, Jurassic kayak tours and fantastic sailing (nearby Portland is the Olympic sailing venue). Climbing, coasteering, diving and fishing (both beach and sea varieties) are other popular activities in the area. After all that hard graft, guests can slake their thirst/hunger in one of Weymouth’s many pubs, restaurants or tea rooms.
Nature lovers will enjoy the RSPB’s Radipole Lake and Lodmoor reserves, as well as Lorton Meadows, run by the Dorset Wildlife Trust, and Bennetts Water Gardens in Chickerell. Alternatively, they can swan off to Abbotsbury, to see 600 mute swans being fed, and to stroll around the subtropical gardens; younger animal fans will also enjoy Abbotsbury’s children’s farm. Other animal attractions nearby include the sea life centre in Weymouth, and the Monkey World chimp rescue centre in Wareham.
Along the coast are some charming beaches and villages - try fossil hunting at Charmouth, or a visit to the ghost village of Tyneham - plus historic resorts such as Lyme Regis, with its famous Cobb harbour wall, and amazing natural features such as the Durdle Door stone arch and Lulworth Cove.
There are several National Trust estates within easy reach, including 1000 year-old Corfe Castle, Clouds Hill (Lawrence of Arabia's former abode), Thomas Hardy’s birthplace and Max Gate, the writer’s cottage in Dorchester.
Out of puff after all that sightseeing? Take it easy on the picturesque Swanage steam railway.

Liked: We had a great week, the site was well maintained and clean. The shop was well stocked and had a good range of goods even a few caravan spares. The new toilet block is lovely and clean. All in all we had a great time and only 15mins from Weymouth. Disliked: Lights at night. The camp needs lights for when the sun goes down it was very dark in parts of the grounds. Not good if you are disabled. |

Lovely Campsite well maintained and close to hand Susan B. (Young couple, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: Set up of the site, excellent and well stocked shop and not too expensive. Selection of cold drinks and basics and did not feel like you were being ripped off. Friendly Staff and very clean facilities. Disliked: A shame about the Red Barn and the limited space within for such a large building. Not open until 6.30pm and closed early which was a big shame it could be so much better. We were prepared to pay for the steak but due to lack of seating (bearing in mind bank holiday) and the marquee was very basic, it was very disappointed, but across a short field away from very busy main road ... |
