Whether you’re looking for a couples’ getaway or a weekend meet-up with a big bunch of pals, you’ll find what you’re looking for at Southover Woods, 20 minutes’ drive from Dorchester in Dorset. With more than 60 acres of private woodland and meadow, the site has nearly wild pitches catering for all different sizes of group. No matter whether there are two of you or 20 of you, you’ll have plenty of space and privacy on the pitches, and each comes with its own firepit and log seating – just the job for a cosy get-together around the campfire. If you’re quiet at night, the chances are you’ll get to hear owls a-hooting and may even see elusive deer flitting through the trees. Direct from the pitches, you can walk for miles on an extensive network of footpaths in Southover Woods, connecting up with the long-distance Hardy Way and Dorset Jubilee Trail. Keen angers can head right next door to the well-stocked trout pools at Wessex Fly Fishing. The site owners also organise bushcraft sessions, yoga, forest bathing and woodland games – talk to them when you arrive to find out more. Just so you’re aware, the camping pitches are down a long and bumpy track that can get muddy, and there will be some fetching and carrying of gear required from your vehicles.

Lordship Areal til telt på skovbund uden elektricitet (til 6 personer)

Syntes om The woods were beautiful and the pitches felt private and secluded.

Syntes ikke om Difficult to find the correct car park/pitch. Track into the site too many holes, could do with some gravel to fill.

Lordship Areal til telt på skovbund uden elektricitet (til 6 personer)

Syntes om Absolutely stunning place! First thing first, parking was great! Didn't have to walk far with all of our stuff to the to the villager pitch and 2 wheel barrows were available to borrow. The compost toilet was actually great to use! You could have a pee/poo with a view and didn't have to worry about people seeing you as the other pitches were really far away, also not once did it smell.
The scenery was absolutely breath taking. So peaceful and beautiful. I loved getting up early and listening to the birds and watching the squirrels rin around the firepit. The pitch was really well laid out, there was plenty of room for my 5m bell tent and we put up a gazebo. The fire pit was great! There are activities to do on site although we didn't do them this time. I will definitely be bringing my 2 boys and husband next time and I
We'll go for longer! The location was great, not too far from anywhere. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

Adam C.

Lordship Areal til telt på skovbund uden elektricitet (til 6 personer)

Syntes om This is an extremely well thought out site and I just don't get why there are negative comments about it.

The pitches are well laid out and I didn't hear a peep from other campers - they were there somewhere....as evidenced by the car park!

I can by myself, but would definitely and would come back again for sure either solo or with friends and family.

I read some negative comments about the unpaved road leading up to the site. Yes it's about a mile long, but drive sensibly (I have a "normal car") and you won't have any issues.

(my photos don't do the site any justice - the weather was a little grim at the time)

Hazelwood Areal til telt på skovbund uden elektricitet (til 2 personer)

Syntes om Loved the wild camp site. Stayed by myself with my 8 year old for the first few days, and felt very safe. Loved the parachutes providing shelter to cook and have a fire. My son loved being able to roam freely.
Chloe was super helpful and welcoming.
Will definitely return

Lordship Areal til telt på skovbund uden elektricitet (til 6 personer)

Syntes om We liked the back to basics camping, the campsite we had was really big with plenty of space, a fire pit was already there with log seating around it. Plenty of places to go for a walk and a lovely setting. We liked that we were secluded and the other pitches were not too close by. Beautiful place to stay if you are looking for back to basic camping.

Syntes ikke om It was a little tricky to find and the track road is pretty rough but that were the only things we disliked.

Lokale seværdigheder

Should you fancy a change of scenery from Southover Woods, go hunting for fossils on the Jurassic Coast’s Bowleaze Cove or have a potter around the Georgian harbour at Weymouth (both half an hour’s drive). Take a bracing stroll along Chesil Beach, and drive west along the coast to discover the palm trees and water features at 18th-century Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens (both 35 minutes). If the kids are with you, take them to see turtles and sharks at SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth (half an hour) or the stuffed toys at the Dorset Teddy Bear Museum (15 minutes) in Dorchester. Watch the mute swans being fed at Abbotsbury Swannery (35 minutes), and chances are you’ll all have a giggle at the club-wielding chalk figure of the National Trust - Cerne Giant (25 minutes) carved into a hillside. Nearby is pretty Cerne Abbas (half an hour), where you can tour the remains of the Benedictine abbey and sneak down a pint of local cider in one of the village’s many traditional pubs.
