  • Well-kept and peaceful park with stunning views of Dorset’s coastline
  • Weymouth and Abbotsbury Swannery both 15 minutes’ drive
  • Licensed shop and South West Coast Path access on site
Need a good dose of fresh Dorset air? You'll get exactly that at Sea Barn Farm Camping Park, 15 minutes’ drive from Weymouth – along with spectacular views of Fleet Lagoon, Lyme Bay, Chesil Bank and the Isle of Portland straight from the pitches. In fact, the play area has probably one of the best views along the Dorset coastline – and if you get your timings right of an evening, you’ll hopefully also witness stunning sunsets over the sea. This 11-acre holiday park is part of a beef and cereal farm with land running right down to Fleet Lagoon, an internationally protected nature reserve and wildfowl haven. It’s about 10 minutes’ walk to the lagoon and the South West Coast Path along the specially created farm walk, which passes a wildlife habitat for bees and birds (please keep any dogs on a lead when on the trail). There’s no need to stray very far from home base once you're installed, as Sea Barn Farm has a licensed on-site shop selling groceries, wines, beers, toys, camping gas and hardware. Other handy facilities include a shower and toilet block, as well as covered washing-up sinks and a fully equipped launderette.

What customers say

This well-maintained campsite offers spectacular sea views and a peaceful atmosphere. Guests frequently praise the stunning scenery, clean facilities, and spacious pitches. While most enjoy the tranquil environment, some mention strict rules and an unwelcoming reception. Older shower blocks are noted as dated, with occasional issues regarding hot water. The shop's limited opening hours are also a recurring point.

Electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Views are spectacular. Clean site. Well kept

Disliked Showers in the older block were basically unusable.

From the manager: Thank you. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Our older block showers, it does take the hot water a while to run though, so needs to run a few seconds before use. The new block the showers are more spacious.

Electric grass campervan pitch

Liked The location and cleanliness

Disliked The fact that the electricity on the pitch was turned off when we arrived so, after about half an hour of trying to figure out what was wrong, we went to another pitch and moved again in the morning. Staff was simply dismissive - there was no apology for the inconvenience, or anything like that. Very unfriendly and unhelpful. For that reason I would never go back to this site.

From the manager: Hi, Thanks for your comment, Your box had tripped. Sometimes happens when being unplugged by last user. Trip just needed resetting. For future reference, just flip the switch back up. We are on site if you had called,

Will not return

Electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Lovely views, clean pitches

Disliked Nothing to do, shop shelves nearly empty, no fresh produce on offer, shower block old and dated, showers not hot and have to keep one hand on the push button at all times or water stops after 3 seconds, nowhere private to undress before entering shower, have to take everything in the shower so gets wet.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Thank you for your review. We have 2 shower blocks one newer than the other, but both spotlessly keen. Our new block has a partitioned area for clothes while you are showering, our older block has hooks. Most people undress in the shower area before turning the water on. Shower temperatures are set by our heating engineer to run at a safe temperature for everyone. for some this is too hot, some too cold and some just right, In our new block there is a small temperature adjustment range for customers to use.
If you let us know when you were chatting to staff that the showers were not running long enouth, we could have got the shower time adjusted,. There are several showers for you to choose from .
Our shop is stock with a large selection but a small quantity of each as most people arrive with all they need. The shop is treated as a emergency top up but unfortunately for us, we cannot afford to hold lots of stock that will go out of date.
Please be reminded that we only allow dogs on the farm and camping park that are kept on a lead. You were advised of this before you visit but chose to ignore this. You are obviously not happy about being reminded of this.

Will definitely be visiting again

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The location and views were amazing. No problems at all.

Disliked The field at the end of the site had much better views than the first field so would have preferred a pitch down there.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and our beautiful sunsets

Stunning view and tidy site, but that’s it.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (sea view)

Liked The view was stunning where we pitched (sea view and cost a little more).

Disliked Facilities were very basic and old. Kept reasonably clean.
Hot water was not working in one shower block so drove to the other.
The children’s area was ancient and really not suitable for kids.
Tried to bring my 95 year old Nan up for a cup of tea and told strictly no visitors and I should have read the terms and conditions.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Fantastic position of campsite with sea view on three sides. Provision of dog walk downhill towards the sea. Generally campers were observant of the rules which makes this campsite very quiet.

Local attractions

Birdwatchers should keep binoculars to hand when wandering about the site, or you can head for Fleet Lagoon (10 minutes’ walk) to watch the antics of shell ducks, waders, coots and terns while listening to the skylarks in the fields around. Set around a tumbledown medieval monastery, Abbotsbury Swannery (15 minutes’ drive) is famed for its mute swans, with their cygnets hatching during late May and June. There are furry – rather than feathered – friends to be found at Kingston Maurward Animal Park and Gardens (25 minutes) in the shape of donkeys, alpacas and cheeky goats. If the kids haven’t seen enough wildlife by then, no doubt you’ll be heading for Monkey World - Ape Rescue Centre (40 minutes) to meet the primates or join keeper talks about chimps and gibbons. Try to squeeze a little culture into your offspring with a tour of Victorian-era Nothe Fort (20 minutes), where you can also take a boat trip around the harbour. If that fails to spark young minds, perhaps the sandy beach and observation wheel at Weymouth (15 minutes) will be more of a hit.
