The setting sun from our pitch with our moonfleet firepit!

Small and quiet farm with miles of walks all around
Half an hour's drive from the Jurassic Coast
Modern facilities, fishing ponds and campfires allowed

Farm the crew out to Moonfleet Farm if you fancy a small and quiet place set in the Dorset countryside, with room for the kids to exhaust their energy among the fields and designated walking areas to let the dog off the lead. You might also rather fancy the 10-minute walk direct from the farm along the 'smugglers' footpath' to the local village shop and pub, then home to settle down in front of a roaring campfire for food and sunset vistas over the distant Blackmore Vale… Moonfleet is a working sheep farm on the western edge of the village of Higher Ansty, quiet and rural enough for a peaceful getaway, but easily accessible to main Dorset attractions and about half an hour from the Dorset coast. It has miles of local walks snaking its surroundings, and fishing ponds on site at which to land rudd, roach, barbel, crucian carp, tench and perch. Day and weekly fishing tickets can be bought from the team. The farm has modern amenitiess including a shower and toilet block with underfloor heating and hairdryers, a washing-up area, a chemical disposal point, drinking water taps and a laundry room with a free washing machine and a coin-operated tumble dryer. Showers, the hairdryers and wifi are all free.

Jocelyn C. June 2025

Power optional grass and gravel caravan site

Liked: Massive pitches. Family friendly. Lovely, friendly owners. Daughter loved the swing in the tree and the horses. Fire pits allowed and you can buy fire wood there. Owners came round everyday to check if we needed any. Took our large group of families and located us all next to each other. Flexible on check out time. We had a nice walk and visited Milton Abbey. Had a great stay and would visit again.

Disliked: Pitches a bit uneven, took a while to level the caravan. Closest tap wasn't working but next one wasn't too far, although tap and electric points were covered in nettles.

Deborah C. May 2025

Power optional grass and gravel caravan site

Liked: Everything. This is the most beautiful and peaceful site. Huge pitches, with incredible views and amazing sunsets. The toilets and showers are spacious and clean, there are plenty of fire pits and a nice pub across the fields.

The owners are very friendly and helpful and even allowed us to use their water and large sunny courtyard to wash our motorhome as we can’t do that where it’s stored. We are so grateful and will be back with our clean van very soon.

Disliked: Nothing. Apart from having to leave.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you Deborah, look forward to seeing you again.

Relaxed atmosphere, good facilities, tree swing…

Local attractions

The walks around Moonfleet Farm along local lanes and through scenic Dorset countryside lead to the likes of pretty local village Milton Abbas, Milton Abbey, Athelhampton House, Cerne Abbas and sending the kids into fits of giggles when they spy mighty chalk Cerne Giant etched into the hillside. Arf. A heap of other Dorset history is a little further afield, such as that at the former Saxon cathedral of Sherborne Abbey, or at historic houses and gardens, abbeys and churches. Also go for Corfe Castle on the Isle of Purbeck and potter around the county town of Dorchester with the Dinosaur Museum, Dorchester Museum, Teddy Bear Museum, Tutankhamen Exhibition and the Roman Amphitheatre. (Have a look at the Thomas Hardy Trail and weekly market in Dorchester too.) Wareham, Swanage, Weymouth, and Salisbury are easily accessible by car and have enough to do to keep you going for several weeks; among our many recommendations are puffing along on award-wining and steamy Swanage Railway, seeing Salisbury's splendid cathedral, wandering around the RSPB reserve at Weymouth or hiking the 15 or so miles of the spectacular Purbeck Way. Fishing fan? Investigate the waters around the harbours of Poole and Weymouth.
