Loscombe Farm is set in a valley surrounded by rolling hills and beautiful views. The tent pitches are either available in a flat camping field, where the compost loo, water and sink are found or in the adjacent sheep pasture which is on a hill edged by forest. We camped in the pasture and were able to find a flat pitch next to the tree line. The hill sheltered us from road noise and throughout our stay there were only a couple of other tents in the pasture, which is huge and so no-one was close to us and we felt alone, which was great. It was wonderful to wake up to the sheep grazing nearby (take a long lead and strong peg for your dog). Very peaceful. Great location, close to local beaches, 5 min drive or a walk to the local garage with small shop. Lovely owners. You can even get wifi and a phone signal if you really want to. We boiled and drank the water, no issue. Loved it. Civilised wild camping.

Nothing. This is wild camping feel with the essential amenities.

The location and the cleanness of the site. Owners are very friendly and helpful.

We had an amazing time in Dorset staying at Loscombe Farm. It is located not far from Dorchester so if you needed supplies it was just a short drive. The scenery is amazing and there so many places you can go for a walk. It is definitely more on the survival side kind of camping with almost no reception and no access to electricity. I think what got me the most is the distance to the toilet - although we were the closest to it- you definitely need to act on your first urge unless you are planning to run :) The hosts were so nice and helpful - we had car trouble (my battery died while using headlights to help us pitch in the night) so we walked to the farm and thankfully Ellie was able to give us a jump battery. She also gave us tips on where to go and what to visit. If we decide to visit the South again I will definitely come back and I would 100 percent recommend staying here. Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful farm.

Sheep - they talk a lot :)

Everything! So much space which made choosing a secluded pitch really easy; freedom to roam the farm, woodland and surrounding footpaths; sharing the space with buzzards, kestrels, woodpeckers, owls, deer, bats and of course the resident sheep; meteor shower; compost toilet; wonderfully friendly Ellie who was just a text message away when we needed help!
We had such a restful week and would like to move in permanently.

Everything. The owners (and their sheep) were friendly and welcoming and very accommodating. The yurts are wonderful, lots of space, with very comfortable beds. We had all three plus a couple of tents for our extended family so we had the whole field to ourselves. It was blissfully peaceful with fantastic views and a nice big tree for shade. The kitchen is equipped with everything we needed and the sun-warmed shower was great.

Back to basics camping farm, amazing views, you can pitch where you like. We loved having coffee with beautiful views. We thought the portloos were always clean always had paper, we like the shower idea overall very clever owners 😀

Not a dislike but a suggestion maybe a map at the entrance to show where the loos/showers are and mark area where we can pitch up as we felt confused when we got to the site :)

Spacious, dog could run around free enjoying being a dog! The 2 farm dogs are very friendly too. The yurt was beautiful with all lovely little touches. The camp kitchen was spotlessly clean and not a bug in sight! Cannot fault this place we will certainly be returning thank you Ellie and Nick x

What an incredible place for a break from the hustle and bustle. As a kiwi it felt like a little bit of NZ right down to the sheep!

Ellie and Nick have a great place, so chilled and relaxed. Their hospitality was superb. We will definitely be back again for more.
