  • Beaches in Charmouth and Lyme Regis around 20 minutes' drive away
  • Well-maintained amenities including heated shower block
As most folk know, country rambles are an absolute must when holidaying in Dorset. So it's most fortuitous that Oathill Farm Holiday and Touring Park's lovely location allows for easy access to many human- and dog-friendly walks. Not only do these start straight from the site, they go along public footpaths and a network of country lanes, over bridges and rivers to local beauty spots like Forde Abbey House and Gardens, Pilsdon Pen and Wayford Woods. The family crew at Oathill have been running things in a relaxed, friendly and well-kept manner for years at their neatly landscaped site, set over 10 acres of Dorset countryside, with landscaped ponds and separate designated recreational and dog walking areas. All of this provides a peaceful environment for guests, in keeping with the stunning local Dorset landscapes such as the seaside scenery of Lyme Regis, 12 miles away. The team prides itself on the standard of its facilities and amenities: guests have the use of a heated toilet and shower block, a washing-up area, a washer and a dryer. As there is no shop or café on site, take a 10-minute drive to Crewkerne to grab groceries at the nearest shop.

What customers say

This is a highly recommended, peaceful, and well-maintained campsite with spacious, level pitches and excellent, spotless facilities including hot showers. Visitors praise the friendly and helpful owners who go above and beyond. Its quiet rural location offers beautiful countryside views and is conveniently situated for exploring the Jurassic Coast, with easy access to local towns and attractions. A car is recommended for touring. A small number of reviews mention hard ground for pegs and the toilet block code as minor inconveniences, but overall, guests found it to be excellent value and intend to return.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Lovely campsite easy to find and well signposted. Well kept pitches and looks lovely. We only booked 30 mins before arriving and we were 10 mins later than the advertised latest time of 5pm but there was a mobile phone number and they were very friendly and accommodating showing us to the pitch. We are a female couple in our 40s with a dog in a VW camper van for reference.

A couple of other families in the lodges and tent box car. Code entry to site which was secure. It wasn’t busy as it was pretty much the last day of the main season, but there was fresh drinking water tap at our pitch, very clean bathrooms with code entry and the dog field as a wonderful bonus.

There’s even Emus close by, which we went to see!

Would visit again with wider family.

Disliked It’s a drive to a supermarket and pub, but nothing they can do about that!

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Beautiful quiet location

Disliked Restricted water. I was told that the water to my pitch had been switched off "as we had only booked 1 night". The man then tried to put water from a dirty watering can into my sterile tank without asking me. I managed to stop him before too much went in but he wouldn't let us get water with our hose and so we ended up having to go backwards and forward from the one tap to our pitch with jugs and our kettle to get enough water for what we needed for the night.
