  • Off-grid farm og alpakacenter i fredfyldte, landlige Dorset
  • Alpaka-vandreture, -møder og -fester kan reserveres
  • Ti min. kørsel fra Bridport, 15 fra Dorchester og 30 fra Lyme Regis
It’s all about alpacas at Happyard, an eco-friendly farm home to a herd of friendly woolly beasts that guests can meet, walk with or even book a party with. The herd’s home is rural Dorset, in a swathe of green space with views over fields towards the Hardy Monument in the distance. It’s deep in the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty but is a handy spot for getting to sightseeing of all sorts: Dorchester is 15 minutes’ drive to the east, Bridport 10 minutes’ west and Weymouth within 25 minutes. Driving west again past Bridport, the Jurassic Coast’s Charmouth and Lyme Regis are easily day-trip doable at 30 and 35 minutes. Or stop off at the site on the way to Devon or Cornwall, as its setting just after the village of Winterbourne Abbas is minutes from the A35. The roomy accommodation field has spacious open-plan pitches – no postage-stamp sizes here, points out the site team – so there’s loads of room to roam when you’re not making friends with the Happyard herd. And yet another happy feature? Campfires and barbecues are allowed, so spark up your masterpiece and sit back under the night sky. Please note that the site is off grid and that guests should bring their own drinking water. Portaloos and a standard toilet are the main yard but please note there are no showers on site. Book alpaca experiences in advance, using the contact details in your booking confirmation email.

    Syntes om: Quiet and not busy place. Clean portable toilets with toilet paper and sanitizers. Nice views. Lovely place.

    Syntes ikke om: Shower would be advantage. I wouldn't stay there longer that one night as I would need shower after all day walk or paddleboarding.

    Anbefal til venner Besøg igen

    Fra bestyreren: Thankyou very much for your review,we are considering showers although this would then have a bearing on the price and like to keep costs down to stay in the wild camping/ budget break but we certainly are looking at the options Wishing you a super time for the rest of the holidays and hopefully see you in the future 🤠

    Areal til telt eller til trailer-telt med græs uden elektricitet

    Syntes om: It’s a beautiful small and simple camping site. We loved the alpacas, cows and other animals down in the yard! The portaloos were clean and there was another toilet down in the yard, but we didn’t have to use it as there was never a queue. There was just a handful of other campers, so it was quiet and peaceful, but everyone including the hosts were really friendly and welcoming! We loved our short stay and wouldn’t definitely recommend and go back!

    Syntes ikke om: Nothing at all! It is quite tricky to find if using satnav, however what.three.words locations and map coordinates are given on the confirmation, so be sure to use those!

    Fra bestyreren: Thankyou so much for your wonderful review it really means so much to us as really debating whether we offer camping again in the future as this season has really been a tricky one with this awful weather but reviews like this really perk me up Thankyou Enjoy the rest of your holidays hopefully the weather will be kinder 🤠

    Areal til telt eller til trailer-telt med græs uden elektricitet

    Syntes om: Really good value. Super friendly staff. Alpacas, horses, guinea pigs, rabbits and cats. Beautiful views. A previous review mentioned road noise was a problem but we didn't find it an issue at all. You can hear it a bit but no more than many other camp sites and not enough to keep me awake and I'm a light sleeper.

    Syntes ikke om: Slightly sloping pitches. Not really a problem if leveling ramps are used but would be good to know in advance so extra ramps can be packed.

    Fra bestyreren: Thank you so much for taking the time to write a really kind review. Were so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see you all again in the future 🤠

    Areal til telt eller til trailer-telt med græs uden elektricitet

    Syntes om: Lovely people that run it. Cats, guinea pigs etc

    Syntes ikke om: The road noise The crows first thing in the morning, they are loud!

    Anbefal til venner Besøg igen

    Fra bestyreren: Dear Kelvin, I am so sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us unfortunately the crows and traffic are rather out of my hands other than finding a gun for the crows maybe 🤔😂 However our main camping field is away from the crows but unfortunately this year we have been hampered by the weather and are now finally able to cut our hay and use the main camping field for our final weekend of camping. We do try hard to to keep the costs down so that customers can enjoy a little break without the expensive rates of the majority of sites this time of year and I do find a 4/10 review for the location rather harsh and quite upset as it really could have a great detrimental effect on our last weekend of the summer which has already been a very damp and difficult season.😢

    Lovely site, friendly staff, beautiful views!

    Fra bestyreren: Hi, Thankyou for your lovely review. Unfortunately due to the bad weather this year our main camping field has been delayed in cutting the hay so I've not been able to use it . We hope to be able to use the top field this weekend so that there is plenty of space as in previous years. Hope to see you in the future 🤠

    Lokale seværdigheder

    Even away from the alpacas, this is an excellently family-friendly place in which to settle down for a Dorset hol, whether you want countryside, coast, farms or fossil hunting. Or ditch the idea of day trips while you’re here and set off on the hiking paths and bike trails around the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – Kingston Russell manor house, the Dorset Downs, Long Bredy village and the Valley of Stones National Nature Reserve are all within walking or pedalling distance. If alpacas have whetted the kids’ appetite for creatures of all sorts, drive 20 minutes or so south to Abbotsbury Swannery, the world’s only managed colony of mute swans. Around 600 swans are here to see and help feed, on a sizeable site also home to a petting farm, play areas, pedal go-karts, a nature reserve and a maze. (The Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens are five minutes’ drive from here if you crave a calmer time afterwards.) Other excellent options include West Bay, scenic setting of the TV drama Broadchurch (15 minutes); a gawp at the Cerne Abbas Giant (20 minutes), the 55-metre chalk figure etched into the Dorset hillside, and following the Thomas Hardy trail around Dorchester to Higher Bockhampton.
