  • Family-run site a mile from the Jurassic Coast
  • Footpath leading to the South West Coast Path
  • Shop next door and pubs within walking distance
Guests return season after season to serene Osmington Mills Corner Campsite in its Dorset coast setting just outside the village of Osmington: it's been family run for over 60 years and has Dorset site stays down pat. Spacious pitches, room for kids to run around, and scenic views towards Weymouth four miles away are the secrets of its success, along with a peaceful rural vibe, restaurants nearby, and the site's closeness to the sea, a mile from the beaches of the Jurassic Coast. You can easily access the region's spectacular walks from here too, as a footpath leads from the site to the coast to connect with the South West Coast Path. (Or if that's a no thanks to the walk, a bus stop is just outside the site with services running to Weymouth.) Osmington has toilets, showers, a washing-up area and the means for ice pack freezing and gadget charging. A shop is next door to the site, and pubs and restaurants are within walking distance.

What customers say

A budget-friendly, back-to-basics site with friendly owners and a great location. Guests love the freedom to pick their spot, scenic views, and easy bus access to Weymouth. Facilities are mostly clean but a bit dated, with no hot water for dishes. The terrain is hilly and can get muddy, and while mostly peaceful, occasional noise from campers or the road can occur.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked I like that you can pitch where you like as it is very much open space. Toilets clean n tidy and a power socket to charge your phones.

Disliked The showers where in an outdated block that could do with a good clean or rebuilt as there is a hole covered with a shower curtain.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Love this campsite,
Very clean and tidy
Toilets and showers are regularly cleaned
Great location with bus stop outside
Beautiful sunset
The campsite run a handy little shop at the entrance and also have a great cup of tea
Layout of pitches is brilliant and makes it feel like you have your own area and not a huge field of tents.

Disliked No hot water for hand washing ( does state this on listing so not a surprise ) tiny thing and we have already stayed here twice and would stay again!

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lovely scenery and lovely people who run and maintain the site. Convenient little shop ran on site. Toilets cleaned regularly.
Shops, take aways and pubs in walking distance and a short drive to the beach.
Any issues we had were dealt with swiftly with the upmost respect.

Disliked Unfortunately the washing up taps run cold I come to the solution of boiling my kettle up and taking it over. Only couple of plug sockets available to charge phone/battery packs which were often being used- im definitely going to order some solar chargers for next season.
The site can be a little noisy at night time.

Liked Simple but cheap, right on bus stop

Disliked Fast motorcycles/cars at night on nearby road, not fault of site but if you're a very light sleeper. Having said that large field so we'll pitch further away next time

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Loved it , basic but everything we needed and so happy to have coffee for sale on site in the morning . We booked very last minute for one night as a base to visit family on another fully booked site and it was perfect. Toilets , showers and easy booking. We arrived after dark with no issues whatsoever.

Local attractions

Get out onto the South West Coast Path close to the site, try your hand at fishing for Dorset mackerel, canter along the coast on horseback, take a boat out, or up the ante with some kayaking or zorbing… all available nearby. Weymouth, four miles away, has been a famed Dorset seaside spot since Georgian times and these days has stacks to do such as sailing and surfing (several surf schools are around if you're just starting out), a long sandy beach and a Sea Life Centre, miniature railway and RSPB reserve above the town at Lodmoor Country Park. More famed Dorset days can be had with fossil hunting on Chesil Beach, six miles away, and taking in the sight of spectacular Durdle Door at Lulworth Cove, within seven miles of the site. You could also chatter with the inhabitants of Monkey World, see the swans at the award-winning Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, or steam along to the Tank Museum at Bovington, all reachable within 10 miles.
