  • Wild-style camping with stunning views over the Jurassic Coast
  • A 10-minute drive from Weymouth; 15 minutes to Isle of Portland
  • Footpath leading to the coast path; a short walk to pubs and amenities
Check out those views… True to its name, Seaview Farm is right on the Jurassic Coast, with stunning views out over Chesil Beach and the Fleet Lagoon. You could quite possibly sit and stare at those views for many hours here (and if you choose to do that, you may be pleased to know that you’re welcome to spark up a barbecue for cooking and keeping warm while you watch the sunset over the sea). Not content with sitting still? This is a cracking location for walkers in particular: footpaths lead off from the farm in all directions, including one that heads off down towards the South West Coast Path and beyond to the Isle of Portland. A supermarket, a clutch of takeaways and several pubs are within walking distance too. You could, in fact, ditch the car for much of your stay at this Dorset site: there’s a bus stop a short walk away for jaunts around the area by public transport. If you are driving, however, you can get to Weymouth town centre and beach with a journey of less than 10 minutes, to Durdle Door or West Bay in about half an hour, or inland to the Cerne Abbas Giant in a similar amount of time. This is a wild-style stay with pitches on a spacious and slightly sloping field accessed via a track. There are no electrical connections here, but guests will have access to water, regularly serviced portable toilets and showers.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: For us fossil enthusiasts, Seaview farm has been an excellent location to explore some of the famous Jurassic Coast, with Weymouth and Chesil beach only a stone's throw away. Plenty of room in each pitch, and we loved having a fire. Check our fossil hunting page on Instagram to see shots from the weekend - @secrets.in.stone

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Beautiful setting with a relaxed, family friendly vibe. Campsite well spaced out, so we didnt feel too close to our neighbours or like we disturbed those around us when the children were playing. Campsite easy walking distance from aldi, small coop and plenty of fast food places and a few pubs if you need any supplies or dont fancy cooking. The host sent clear an thoughtful updates and directions, and could be seen regularly checking the facilities were clean and all was well. We only stayed one night as were very new to camping, so we didnt make use of the showers. What we saw looked functional and we wouldnt be concerned about using them next time. Porterloos were well stocked with hard sani and loo roll and kept clean throughout our stay. Running water and a little sink were close to the loos for ease of washing hands too. Were looking forward to visiting again next season as we are regular visitors to Dorset. Will be encouraging friends and family to join us for a camping weekend next year - especially as weymouth, durdle door and the jurassic coast are so close.

Disliked: Nothing.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Our holiday at Seaview farm was Pitch Perfect. Thanks to generous well marked pitches, clear instructions and always at the other end of the phone line Nikki. Thank you.

Disliked: Merely a few suggestions: better washing facilities - showers and washing up sink would help improve overall good ambiance of the campsite.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: - communication was sent a night before arrival which made it super clear which pitch we were and how to set up. - toilets were kept stocked with toilet roll and relatively clean. - small to medium sight made it a pleasant, quiet stay. - easy access to the coastal path. - exceptional view. - organised pitches.

Disliked: - when going to shower, 2 out of 3 of the showers didn’t have any hot water. - soap at the sinks for washing hands would have been good.

Local attractions

You’re bound to want to explore the Dorset coastline a little further once you’ve spied the sea from the site, so set off for a stroll along the coast path or plot a course to Weymouth (10 minutes’ drive) to play on the sand or meet the marine creatures at the Sea Life Centre. A couple of Dorset’s main icons – Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door – are about half an hour away by car, but there are plenty of quieter corners around to visit too. If you’re keen to give your hiking boots a good workout, start with a wander around the Hardy Monument or explore trails in the Valley of Stones National Nature Reserve (both 10 minutes’ drive). Mix in a bit of history as you walk with outings to Portland Castle or Jordan Hill Roman Temple (both 15 minutes) or get up close to the Cerne Giant (half an hour). For more days out, try Abbotsbury (15 minutes) for the swannery and subtropical gardens or Dorchester (20 minutes) for the dinosaur and teddy bear museums and Maiden Castle fort.
