  • Small, friendly site surrounded by the Dorset countryside
  • A 20 minute-drive from West Bay; 35 minutes from Lyme Regis
  • Back to basics, dog-friendly place; pubs five minutes’ drive away
Eyeing up the darling Dorset countryside? Pick yourselves a pretty pitch at Pear Tree Farm, a small and friendly site surrounded by scenic views of the Beaminster Downs. And it's not all about the views – you'll also have access to a good supply of country footpaths here. As well as those rural hikes, you'll also be able to include coastal activities to your schedule easily enough. Lyme Regis is 35 minutes’ drive away from the site, for days spent foraging for fossils, trying out watersports or chilling out along The Cobb harbour. As for classic beach days, West Bay is about 20 minutes’ drive away. As a dog-friendly site, you won’t need to leave any faithful canine companions behind on your stay here. If dining out is high up on your priorities for a holiday too, you should be pleased to know that Beaminster is five minutes’ drive away and has several pubs and restaurants for eating out or takeaways. When you’re looking for a livelier day out, the lovely Weymouth is also 40 minutes’ drive away. Its beach huts, Georgian houses and busy seafront are sure to keep you very occupied for a day. Safety and security are key features at this site – it's accessed via an electric gate with a key code that's only available to guests. Covering the basics, the site has toilet and shower facilities.

What customers say

This peaceful, rural campsite offers beautiful views and a secure, friendly atmosphere. Many guests highlight the helpfulness of owner Garry and the convenient pitch facilities, including water and electricity. While the site is described as a work in progress with plans for expansion, the current amenities are generally well-maintained. A steep entrance road is a recurring point, but this is outweighed by the value, tranquillity, and lovely surroundings.

Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Liked the fact you just turn up & choose a pitch. What an amazingly peaceful, rural site. Just park up, unpack, set up, sit back & relax... Great views. Lovely friendly, chatty owners. Was great to hear about all the work they have done... & want to do. My only criticisms is the shower room could do with some more hanging places & a mat & also a mop to clean the shower & floor with after its been used... Loved our stay & willbe back.

Disliked Having to pack up & come home.

Electric optional grass and gravel tent pitch

Liked I love it here. This was my second stay and the owners are very welcoming and friendly. It's a quiet spot, fully secured with a gate that requires a pin. I feel safe as a solo camper. Facilities are very clean.

Disliked Nothing at all but my little car does not like the steep climb to the site lol

 Len S. 16 reviews

Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Access was easy and communication good, all relevant information given prior to arriving.
Dog walking area was really good, basically the whole field with access through opening.
Campsite owner/representative came to see us and point out amenities, etc.
Kept an eye out for wildlife and saw a dear in field eating plus a few hawks.

Disliked Toilet/shower were busy but very clean.
We’d booked the site thinking it was adult only, but children were at site - we book adult only as we have a GSD who gets nervous - although we were sited away from children.
One side of the site is level pitches, our side was sloping, although we managed to minimise this by parking down facing. Our neighbours appeared unhappy with this by voicing loud opinions. As we were only there for one night and leaving early - couldn’t be bothered to respond.

Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Peaceful, in the middle of the Dorset countryside, on a hill looking out over a valley with farm fields beyond. Plenty of wildlife.
Secure, electric gate entry and exit.
Firm level pitch for our Motorhome.
Chosen for its proximity to the Buckham Fair.
We didn’t use the facilities but all looked well cared for.
Very friendly and helpful owner.

Electric optional grass and gravel tent pitch

Liked I had everything I needed & very good walking routes on the doorstep. Garry the owner was helpful & friendly. A small site with the personal touch. I will use this site again!

Disliked It would be great if the recycling bins were clearly labelled as some people were using all the bins for general waste.

Local attractions

After you've viewed the Dorset countryside dealt to you on site, track down some pretty spots on the Dorset coast too. Views of Golden Cap and fossils to find make Eype beach (25 minutes’ drive) a good place to start. If your fossil hunting needs haven’t already been met in Lyme Regis and on Eype Beach, Charmouth (half an hour) is another place to continue your search. A busier beach scene can be experienced in Weymouth (40 minutes), along with an RSPB reserve and an aquarium with an ocean tunnel. Along the south coast, Abbotsbury Swannery (35 minutes) has a colony of nesting swans and the Isle of Portland (55 minutes) is packed with interesting geology and beaches – and, in turn, impressive coastal walks and watersports. History nerds have lots to look forward to too. Forde Abbey House and Gardens (25 minutes) isn’t just a historic country house. Green-fingered folk can pick up some bits in the garden centre. Have yourself a historic hike at Coney's Castle (25 minutes) too, where there’s an Iron Age hillfort and views of Devon and Marshwood Vale.
