  • Family-friendly Dorset site with views over the Tarrant Valley
  • A 10-minute drive from Blandford Forum; half an hour to West Lulworth
  • Set on a working farm, a mile from an independent café and farm shop
Surrounded by tree-lined country lanes and gentle green hills, Little Hundreds Campsite is a quiet campsite deep in rural Dorset. This Tarrant Crawford spot borders Little Hundreds coppice, where there's plenty of leafy shade to escape to on hot summer's days. You can look forward to fantastic views whatever the weather at this rural site: to the south, you have vistas over meadows that roll down towards the Stour river, while to the north the farmland just stretches on and on… This laidback site has basic facilities like toilets, showers and a washing-up area, as well as handy extras like solar charging points. In addition, this relaxed spot gives you the freedom to pitch your tent wherever you choose and allows campfires in the designated areas. There are also firepits – with wood on site – available to hire to help arrange campfire evenings with minimal hassle. The site is a few minutes' walk from the footpaths that run up and down the Tarrant Valley and is roughly a mile from an independent farm shop and café. The market town of Blandford Forum (10 minutes' drive) is a short drive away if you’re looking for restaurants or a supermarket; it's also accessible via a quiet cycle path that runs along a flat former railway line.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (solo)

Liked: Beauty, tranquility, minimal intervention, carefully-placed subtle solar-lighting, small bouquets of meadow flowers in toilets. In an ideal future world, there will be a set of compost toilets installed in the other corner of the field… Amazingly there were (airy, sweet-smelling) compost toilets at the End of the Road music festival. Impressed everyone.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (family)

Liked: Lovely little campsite. Owner was friendly, told us where to find everything. Showers great with hot water. Toilets clean. Fire alowed and wood can be purchased on site. Drinking water available too. We are family of 4 with 2 small kids. All we wanted was small quiet campsite with showers and toilets. So this place was perfect for us. Really enjoyed it.

Liked: Fabulous site, this is our third year coming here. Tranquil spot, super clean showers & toilets with lovey little touches, flowers etc, very friendly owners.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (two person)

Liked: Hot, clean showers with plenty of space to change. Clean toilets. Charging point for mobiles. Other campers were clearly enjoying their log burners in the evening. The owner/manager was very friendly and couldn't be more helpful in guiding us to local pubs etc... We were cycling from Bristol to Bournemouth and found this to be a good location for our onward cycle. The views were really good, so we decided to cook our own food on site rather than visit one of the many pubs located within a few miles.

Disliked: Drinking water was 100m distant from the toilet and washing facilities. A small inconvenience.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (two person)

Liked: Very well maintained, regularly cleaned. Really good showers - very hot, loads of space to get changed and shower, very clean. Lots of hooks to hang up your clothes. Toilets were always clean, had fresh flowers in them and plenty of space. Hand sanitiser in each stall, as well as a little sink with soap and water available. Owner was lovely and helpful, came round to check everything was okay and to offer fire pits and logs. Lights around the campsite and a phone charging station were a nice touch - everything seemed very thoughtfully provided. Very quiet and a great location with loads of walks around. We walked to Spetisbury station which is lovely.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (solo)

Liked: A lovely little campsite with excellent facilities. Fine rural views- windy at times so choose pitch carefully. I pitched too close to the social area under the trees which attracted the children so was a tad noisy. A friendly welcome & a daily presence by owner providing logs, fire pits & exceptional attention to cleaning the facilities.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Local attractions

Surround yourself with the rustling of leaves, fragrant scents and gorgeous blooms at Keyneston Mill (15 minutes' walk), a small-scale botanical garden that produces sweet-smelling plants for its line of luxury perfumes. Live music events, arts workshops and guided garden tours are all available here, so have a look at what's on during your visit and book in advance to avoid disappointment. Days out along the Jurassic Coast area are easily arranged at Little Hundreds Campsite: Lulworth Cove is only half an hour away by road, while other pretty coastal locations like Kimmeridge Bay (35 minutes) are easily accessible too. However much time you spend at the coast, don't ignore Dorset's gorgeous hinterland: from the cobbled streets of Shaftesbury (30 minutes) to the ruins of Corfe Castle and the Isle of Purbeck's steam railway (30 minutes), there's something for all the family. For more time outdoors, bring your clubs along and head to Ashley Woods Golf Club (10 minutes' drive), or explore the National Trust-maintained gardens and grounds at Kingston Lacy (10 minutes), one of the prettiest country estates in Dorset.
