As most folk know, country rambles are an absolute must when holidaying in Dorset. So it's most fortuitous that Oathill Farm Holiday and Touring Park's lovely location allows for easy access to many human- and dog-friendly walks. Not only do these start straight from the site, they go along public footpaths and a network of country lanes, over bridges and rivers to local beauty spots like Forde Abbey House and Gardens, Pilsdon Pen and Wayford Woods. The family crew at Oathill have been running things in a relaxed, friendly and well-kept manner for years at their neatly landscaped site, set over 10 acres of Dorset countryside, with landscaped ponds and separate designated recreational and dog walking areas. All of this provides a peaceful environment for guests, in keeping with the stunning local Dorset landscapes such as the seaside scenery of Lyme Regis, 12 miles away. The team prides itself on the standard of its facilities and amenities: guests have the use of a heated toilet and shower block, a washing-up area, a washer and a dryer. As there is no shop or café on site, take a 10-minute drive to Crewkerne to grab groceries at the nearest shop.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Very helpful staff quiet location. Even though we had trouble getting our caravan I. The staff member did say that we should or could have asked for a pitch that would be easier to put caravan In we have no motor mover but thankfully a lady staying I. The other pitch was able to help.

Disliked Tight fit to get a twin axle caravan in. I think the shower block could do with being upgraded. Very clean. Though.

Loved the site, location, facilities and staff

Liked Very well maintained and secure campsite, staff very welcoming and helpful. Beautiful location with nice level pitches and clean facilities as expected. Duck ponds and plenty spaces to walk the dogs. We had a bbq and enjoyed meeting up with friends for the evening and had a lovely memorable stay. Highly recommend this place and we will stay again in the future.

Disliked Dog walking field at the bottom was very prickly for my dog, had to carry him

Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly owners & level pitches

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Lovely quiet dog friendly site - small and welcoming. The owner met me on arrival and was very helpful. Fellow guests were friendly. The site is beautiful, with its own small lake. Nicely spaced large pitches. Lots of walking nearby from the site, which is why I chose it. In one direction the path takes you past some beautiful and very inquisitive emu 🙂

Disliked Nothing!
