  • 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.

What customers say

This new, adults-only campsite offers a peaceful escape in a beautiful rural setting with stunning views. Visitors praise the immaculately clean and well-equipped facilities, including a communal kitchen and showers. Owners Sharon and Tom are consistently described as friendly and helpful. Access via narrow lanes is noted. Some early reviews mentioned basic portaloo-style toilets and a lack of showers for tent campers, but later feedback indicates improved facilities. Pitches can be gently sloping.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Beautiful scenery
Proximity to Beaminster
Adults only site, no dogs.
Hot showers that stay on.
Owners were very helpful.

Disliked Electricity wasn't good enough to keep our fridge on so had to use our gas.
Toilet block wasn't cleaned daily.
No separate hose for filling up our motorhome tank so had to use the same hose as people clean their toilet cassettes with.
Entrance to site needs cleaning up as large mounds of rubble/soil lying around.
Our pitch had a large piece of metal sticking out that could have caused us a puncture.
Pitches weren't level.
2 x outside lights weren't working on the toilet block.

From the manager: Hi Linda,
Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy Willow Farm camp site and had some issues. We were in contact with you several times during your stay trying to sort out the electric issue. Not sure why there was a problem as we’ve not had any issues at all since we’ve been open. However, we can only accommodate smaller campers but have had no problems up to now. I messaged you to offer a part-refund for non-electric for the period you stayed but had no reply. And Tom offered another electric pitch & gas cylinder for you which I imagine worked as we didn’t hear from you again & assumed it was working fine. The showers are cleaned regularly but when they are used a lot through the day there will be grass from the site which can’t be helped. But apologies if they were not found to be clean enough.
The site is on a slight hill so is slightly uneven but we find most people park side on or use wedges.
The hose as my husband explained to you at the time is for the cassettes and there is another hose and plenty of available clean water on the site. The entrance is still in progress and the rubble is being used to make the area flat and to park when it’s wet.
As for the ‘rave’ I have no idea where this music was coming from as we were tucked up in bed.. but we do have several neighbours nearby.
Sorry you didn’t talk to us about your concerns such as the metal etc as we chatted several times to you during your stay and would have happily dealt with your concerns while you were here.
All the best. Sharon and Tom

Non-electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked I hesitate to write about a hidden gem as it often can ruin what you liked. 5 hard standing pitches overlooking unbuilt picture perfect Dorset. Great facilities and communication with the owners

Disliked Pitches could be a little more level

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. Good to meet you. Yes we agree the pitches could be more level & will have a think about some alterations.
