  • Well-kept and peaceful park with stunning views of Dorset’s coastline
  • Weymouth and Abbotsbury Swannery both 15 minutes’ drive
  • Licensed shop, modern facilities and South West Coast Path access
Need a good dose of fresh Dorset air? You'll get exactly that at Sea Barn Farm Camping Park, 15 minutes’ drive from Weymouth – along with spectacular views of Fleet Lagoon, Lyme Bay, Chesil Bank and the Isle of Portland straight from the pitches. In fact, the park has probably one of the best views along the Dorset coastline – and if you get your timings right of an evening, you’ll hopefully also witness stunning sunsets over the sea. This 11-acre holiday park is part of a beef and cereal farm with land running right down to Fleet Lagoon, an internationally protected nature reserve and wildfowl haven. It’s about 10 minutes’ walk to the lagoon and the South West Coast Path along the specially created farm walk, which passes a wildlife habitat for bees and birds (please keep any dogs on a lead when on the trail). There’s no need to stray very far from home base once you're installed, as Sea Barn Farm has a licensed on-site shop selling groceries, wines, beers, toys, camping gas and hardware. Other handy facilities include a pristine shower block with underfloor heating, as well as covered washing-up sinks and a fully equipped launderette.

What customers say

This tidy campground boasts fantastic ocean vistas, especially from sea-view spots, and gets kudos for its clean, roomy facilities. Staff are often called friendly and helpful, with a well-stocked shop. While many rave about the lovely locale, great amenities, and peaceful vibe, some travellers mentioned rigid arrival times and unwelcoming service at times. A few noted slightly sloped sites and WiFi costs.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Nothing, because unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to check it out.

Disliked Hopeless customer service. I know perfectly well that I should arrive at the campsite by 7 p.m. Unfortunately, due to business and traffic jams, my family and I were unable to make it to the designated time. I called at 8:10 p.m. to inform them of the delay. The woman automatically said that my paid reservation had been canceled and told me to look for a new place.We tried our best to arrive on time, but the long route and work problems prevented us from doing so. I was told I would be disturbing all the other vacationers. I completely understand. However, three people, parents with a 10-year-old child, arriving at 9 p.m., I don't think they would cause any major problems for the other vacationers. Unfortunately, the woman at the front desk wasn't willing to help in any way.My journey had already lasted two hours, and she told me to go home or find something else. Maybe she was right? I don't know... but I warn others about keeping an eye on the time!

From the manager: Thank you for your comments. Like many accommodation providers and other businesses we restrict arrivals to certain times, including arriving no later than 7 pm.

At the time that you called us (8.40pm), which was already over an hour beyond our latest arrival time, you indicated that you were an hour from home and would not be arriving until 10 pm. In other words, you had not even left home by our latest time of arrival.

You made no effort to contact us until 8.40 pm and then only to tell us that you would be arriving at 10 pm. No apology. No request.

You were advised, quite correctly, that you would not be able to stay with us and that your booking was no longer valid. We suggested that you may like to try finding accommodation closer to where you were at the time of your call or turning around as you were, at that time, much nearer to home than you were to us.

You may not consider that the late arrival and pitching of your family would be disturbing to other guests, but in our experience guests arriving and pitching tents late results in noise and disturbances of many kinds, such as headlights being used to aid pitching, banging in of tent pegs, clattering of poles and raised voices. Other guests often find this very disturbing.

Consequently, for the comfort and safety of all our guests, we restrict arrivals to 7pm to allow for pitching time. We're sorry if your work commitments and traffic prevented you from leaving earlier and from arriving on time. Neither we nor our other guests are responsible for that and they do not deserve to be disturbed because of it - any more than you might expect your train, bus or flight to be disrupted because another passenger was running three hours late.

Lovely camp site. Highly recommend

Primitive grass tent campsite (water view)

Liked Liked everything! This place was amazing from the moment we came. It's our second camping trip with the 3 month old baby, and we had so many different campsites before. This one tops everything. We opted out for the Sea View pitch, and it was just amazing to wake up to the amazing views! The facilities were really clean and everything was there as you would expect. The shop has all the essentials, and the team members are really friendly.

Powered grass RV campsite

Liked Spacious pitches, clean toilet and showers. Easy to find and clear instructions left when reception closed. Farm walk is a good distance and connects to the coastal path. Lots of wildlife and amazing views but a bit windy, you can't have the view without being up high. 😬 Very few occupied pitches when we were there.

Disliked WiFi is payable, vouchers available from reception but only for one device per voucher. Some pitches are at quite sloping.

Local attractions

Birdwatchers should keep binoculars to hand when wandering about the site, or you can head for Fleet Lagoon (10 minutes’ walk) to watch the antics of Brent geese, coots and terns. Set around a tumbledown medieval monastery, Abbotsbury Swannery (15 minutes’ drive) is famed for its mute swans, with their cygnets hatching during late May and June. There are furry – rather than feathered – friends to be found at Kingston Maurward Animal Park and Gardens (25 minutes) in the shape of donkeys, alpacas and cheeky goats. If the kids haven’t seen enough wildlife by then, no doubt you’ll be heading for Monkey World - Ape Rescue Centre (40 minutes) to meet the primates or join keeper talks about chimps and gibbons. In the same area, The Tank Museum (35 minutes) is another good option for a day out. Squeeze a little culture into your trip with a tour of Victorian-era Nothe Fort (20 minutes), where you can also take a boat trip around the harbour. If that's not your scene, perhaps the sandy beach and Sea Life Centre at Weymouth (15 minutes) will be more of a hit.
