Real camping, with a reasonable price tag. There are limited frills at this friendly, farm-based site - it’s basically a large field with water supply and a couple of eco-composting loos (bring your own toilet tent if staying for two or more nights) - but guests can use the showers, bar and sports facilities in the sports centre over the road. There’s also a farm shop and tea room selling lovely grub, including a bumper fry-up with home-grown bangers and bacon.
Redlands Farm is relaxed and uncrowded, with verdant views, yet really close to Weymouth (a good place to splurge all the money you saved on your pitch...)
Nearby attractions and activities
Redlands residents can either walk into Weymouth - a mile and a half away - or hop aboard one of the local buses that pass the site every ten minutes. It’s a classic seaside resort, with a great sandy beach, three-mile prom, donkeys, Punch and Judy, pedaloes and the like, plus a sea life park, theatre and cinema. There are good sporting facilities too, including an indoor pool, bowling alley, tennis and golf, plus deep sea fishing trips from the busy harbour. From here, visitors can also take a trip over to the Channel Islands on one of the local ferries.
Portland, six miles from Redlands, was the venue for the Olympic and Paralympic sailing events, with sailing and windsurfing schools as well as regular spectator events. Kite surfing and scuba diving are also on offer in the area.
The countryside around the campsite is good for walking, and there’s an RSPB nature reserve about a mile up the road.

Liked: Nice country setting, yet convenient for town. Compost toilets clean and didn't smell as expected. Very reasonable! Great fry in the morning. Disliked: As top of hill fills up pitches end up on slope, so you have to think about the position of your tent / sleeping arrangements. |

a nice campsite, good location samshunt18 (Family with older children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: The location was fantastic, views were lovely and a 10 min walk to Morrisons and a 40 min walk to Weymouth beaches. Disliked: The showers - they were not on site, and this is not clear on the booking info - they were okay and not a huge problem, just by the time you had walked back it kind of negated the fact you had, had a shower x |

Lovely site Angielyons (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos)
Liked: This was the first time we went camping as a family. We have two daughters aged 7&9. The field where we camped was just what we wanted. No crowds or noisy campers. The few we met were friendly and one chap gave us some really good camping tips! I hope we can come again sometime. It would be nice if we could have a look around the farm next time. Perhaps we will have ... Disliked: Absolutely nothing! We had a great time. |

A lovely break with amazing scenery Sarah B. (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos) Confirmed ?
Liked: The views were breathtaking, the field was perfect for my little ones to explore in safety. We didn't feel like we were being overlooked and were left to enjoy our time. Will be back! Disliked: There's nothing to dislike as long as you come prepared for bare basics, toilets are cleaned regularly and drinking water is available. Bin bag provided for your rubbish and bags are regularly collected. Be warned, if you have young children they might have trouble sitting on the toilets and will need assistance getting up and also using a eco-system, non-flushable loo! |
