Want to sleep under canvas without having to put up a tent? This rent-a-tent campsite near Poole has done all the hard work done before you even arrive on site. Valley View Farm is a friendly site on the outskirts of Lytchett Matravers, a Dorset village lying between Wimborne Minster and Poole. This scenic farm setting is within easy reach of many of the South West's main attractions, including the beaches of the Jurassic Coast and the stunning surronding countryside. The pre-pitched accommodation here has inflatable beds and access to well-maintained portable toilet facilities. As an added bonus, there are also farm animals on site (including alpacas) that can be walked and fed. Lytchett Matravers' pub and small but well-stocked supermarket are roughly a mile from Valley View Farm.
