  • Peaceful adults-only and dog-friendly site with complimentary firepits
  • A 15-minute walk to a cider farm; 15 minutes' drive to beaches
  • Little on-site shop with fresh coffee and bacon sandwiches
Lace up your hiking boots and pack up your beach gear, for Pineapple Farm Holidays is an adults-only site on a family-run farm within the countryside of the Dorset National Landscape. The site is set next to a small business park in some converted farm buildings 15 minutes' drive from Bridport and West Bay beach, so it is also in a prime location for days out by the coast. There's lots to look forward to at this place, whether it's the wildlife and picnic area (private and only for guests) or the apple orchard (accessible to all). Dogs are asked to be kept on the lead while around the pitches, but they're welcome to run off the lead in the orchard. All of the pitches have water, electricity and their very own firepit. From Pineapple Farm Holidays, it's easy to get stuck right into beaches with fossils and stunning views, including West Bay and Eype beach, both within a 15-minute drive. For any cravings, there is a country pub is under one and a half miles away (a 25-minute walk), dishing up fresh food. If you're still thirsty, the cider farm and vineyard (on the route back to the site) should have something for you. You can also drive five minutes south to stock up on local produce at the local farm shop. You need go no further, but you definitely will... Campfires are welcome in the complimentary firepits provided, and barbecues are welcome as long as they are raised from the ground. Pineapple Farm Holidays is part of Pineapple Estate, which includes the site, as well as a farm, a shop, a business park and self storage.

Caroline E.

Honeysuckle electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Loved the size of the pitches and having water and electricity close by. Great to have a shop onsite and the option to have hot snacks. I liked the rural feel of the site. Toilets clean and water nice and hot.

Disliked Although a lovely site i would say it isn't great if you have some mobility issues as the surrounding area is quite hilly. Need a car to get around.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We are so glad the site met your expectations and you found everything to be pleasant and clean.

The Dorset hills are quite a challenge sometimes but we hope that it's worth it as they are also very beautiful! We do have a good list of taxi companies that are happy to collect guests at Pineapple.

We look forward to welcoming you again.

Spacious pitches, warm welcome and beautiful…

Foxglove electric grass pitch

Liked Pitch 30: Met Hannah on arrival and shown to our pitch. The site had only just reopened and barely had more than 7 or 8 other campers. If you seek peace and quiet, then here you'll find it in bucketloads.

Loos and showers are excellent and always clean, hot water in abundance.
The washing up area is a wonderful touch and helps keep your van, tent extra clean and tidy.
Most of the pitches are level or close to, maybe a couple of wedges needed at most.

Shop stocked all the usual essentials plus a few local supplies, biscuits etc. Really excellent.

All roads lead to Bridport, which is ok as a town.

Disliked Honestly nothing - you'd have to be a bit of a fusspot to find anything disliked. Of course in the high season facilities might be a bit more crowded or busy.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review. The campsite is lovely and peaceful and it's great to see guests making the most of getting away from it all.

We do hope to see you again.

Excellent site with clean facilities, level pitches and great staff.

Robin V.

Clover electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked The site is well kept with close mown grass. The facilities are modern and are well maintained. Nice little dog walk in the orchard.
As the site is on different levels and split into small sections has a good feel to it.

Disliked No floor mat in the shower room so floor got muddy.
Some heat in showers would have been nice.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay.
Unfortunately we had to remove the shower boards as they had deteriorated and become unsafe but we do have a whole new set on order.
We look forward to welcoming you again.

We will definitely be back.

Local attractions

Head to West Bay (15 minutes' drive) for a first glimpse of the world-famous coastline; you'll get even better views on a boat cruise round the cliffs, or try kayaking it yourself. Abbotsbury (half an hour) is a popular spot to start walking the shingle airstrip-cum-sandbar that forms famous Chesil Beach. Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre (25 minutes) has fine examples of the fossils found nearby, including the Sea Dragon (an icthyosaur, in fact) unearthed in 2016. It's also the starting point for guided fossil hunts and rockpool rambles... you could come home with an icthyosaur of your own... West Bay lies on the mighty 680-mile South West Coast Path, but fret not, you don't have to walk it all. A trip round to the old lookout point of Thorncombe Beacon makes a pleasant ramble, especially as there's a pub at the end, or you could drive to Stonebarrow Hill (25 minutes) and explore the Golden Cap, a clifftop wilderness populated by peregrine falcons and butterflies. For diehard townies, there's a market selling something (vinyl or vintage, antiques and organics) in Bridport (15 minutes) almost daily and elegant Lyme Regis (half an hour) looks like a film set, especially when the fog rolls in.
