  • Adults-only site on a 25-acre family farm in west Dorset
  • West Bay beach 20 minutes' drive; half an hour to Lyme Regis
  • Footpaths running from the site; five minutes' drive from Beaminster
If your vision for your Dorset break is all country lanes, green views and fields dotted with farm animals, then you’ll be able to bring that picture to life with a stay at Willow Farm Camp Site. This peaceful adults-only site is part of a family-run farm where you'll be surrounded by about 25 acres of green fields that are diligently grazed by the resident sheep who will be your neighbours for the duration of your stay. The scenery here is gorgeous, taking in woodland and several lakes as well as the fields, and the lack of light pollution means the views are just as good after dark on a clear night. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this setting is a popular one with wildlife too – you may well see bats, deer and kingfishers around the farm or when setting off on local walks. Several paths lead from the farm, including one to Little Giant Wood, where you can follow a circular trail through the trees. In the village of Stoke Abbott, five minutes' drive away, there is a pub with very good food. Beaminster, also five minutes' drive away, has lots of cafés, restaurants, pubs and independent shops including a butcher where you can pick up top-notch local meat and cheese for your picnic sandwiches (made with bread from the town bakery, of course). Guests are permitted to create a barbecue on half-drum firepits.

Liked Small and perfectly formed. Fantastic clean facilities. No kids, no dogs just peace and quiet. Kitchen equipped with stove, kettle, plates etc, perfect for when it rains. Also has a breakfast bar looking out at the beautiful view. Already booked to come back.
Remember to take a towel to dry your hands after you use the loo.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely and quiet. We were the only ones there, as now late in season. Lovely use of kitchen, complete with kettle, gas stove and all utensils and plates to make food and eat, as chairs and breakfast bar there too.
Lovely and clean bathroom and excellent shower. There is a Spar shop nearby for bits and pieces. Our host kept in contact and visited us when we arrived. Will definitely come againLovely and quiet.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked The location was so peaceful and quiet
The campsite was easy to get to and pitch up
The facilities were excellent with a pottage on kitted out like a fully functioning kitchen even with tables and chairs
The owners couldn’t have been more helpful .. the weather during our stay wasn’t very pleasant thunderstorms and wind but the owners passed by every day just to check up on us
Thanks Tom and Sharon

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Picnic bench, aggregate hard standing

Disliked Having to book and pay an extra supplement to use the toilets and shower block which I was not aware of, although a toilet was available on the adjoining tent pitch site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and for staying at Willow Farm. I’m sorry you hadn’t noticed the additional payment for the shower block. It’s just under the booking and I have found guests don’t always want the shower rooms and so prices reflect this. But guests have otherwise been very happy to pay the £4 extra to use them. They are very well presented with hot showers, soap, daily cleaning & a daily supply of toilet rolls. If guests have missed the extra they ask me on arrival and they are very welcome to use all the facilities on offer at Willow Farm.
All the best.
Sharon & Tom
