  • 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: We loved this campsite. We booked for 2 nights at the end of the season so it was very quiet. The pitches are large, and felt so, even though we have a big tent. The ground is pretty level with a gentle slope towards the bottom edge of the field. The view is amazing, completely uninterrupted view of the Fleet Lagoon. There are great walks just out the bottom of the field, so very close for anyone who's in to walking with amazing views. There are Portaloo toilets around the site which are maintained and checked twice a day. There were 3 showers, they were ok. We were allowed to use a BBQ as long as it was raised off the ground and we had water buckets nearby. Overall I loved this site because it was uncomplicated and had an amazing view! I would definitely booked again.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Beautiful location with stunning scenery. Very good pop up campsite with toilets and showers available. Easy to find and set up camp. Hosts provide a very informative email with everything you need to know and they are easily contactable, if needed. Pitches were in very good condition and a very good size. Just a short, easy drive to Weymouth beach and town. Would visit again.

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.
