  • Relaxed, simple pitches on a 450-acre Dorset family dairy farm
  • A 15-minute drive to Weymouth and half an hour to Monkey World
  • A mile from the Jurassic Coast, with footpaths to Abbotsbury and Fleet
With a location just outside the Dorset National Landscape and only a mile from the Jurassic Coast, it's easy to see why one might want to settle here for quite some time… and that’s just what the family that runs Tatton Farm Campsite have done. The fourth generation runs this working dairy farm, and the fifth generation is rapidly falling in love with farm life too. Plenty of guests have found themselves rather fond of the place, too – there’s been a campsite successfully running here for more than 40 years. And what is it that’s kept the site so popular throughout that time? Well, perhaps the laidback atmosphere, the generous pitches and the fact that they’re surrounded by 450 acres of farmland… It’s all quite simple here – pitches are all on grass without electric, and there is a sustainable toilet and shower block that saves a whopping 2.5 tonnes of CO2 every year. You may also be pleased to hear that the field is flat and accessible for those with mobility issues, and the toilets and showers are fully wheelchair accessible. There is also an ileostomy station designed by a family member who has a colostomy bag. With few distractions, guests can properly relax – waking up to birdsong and spotting the dairy herd passing by each morning and evening are the norm here. The pitches back onto woodland, so there’s wildlife to look out for too, and you may catch a glimpse of the wild deer that live here. Of course, the farm’s location helps with making it an attractive place to stay – it’s about a 15-minute drive to Weymouth’s town centre and beach, and there are rural footpaths running from the farm to the likes of Abbotsbury, Fleet, Chesil Beach and the Hardy Monument (or to Weymouth, in fact).

What customers say

Tatton Farm gets rave reviews for its super friendly owners who offer farm tours & animal interactions. Guests love the clean, level pitches and well-kept facilities (showers/toilets). It’s a peaceful rural spot with easy access to Weymouth. A few found toilet cubicles small. Great for a quiet, family farm getaway.

Liked warm welcome from Vicky

Disliked smell of the stagnant water from the ditch around pitch 1 which was preferable to pitching next to one of the families which clearly live on site with children and dogs- an odd mix
Unisex toilets

From the manager: I am truly gutted your experience wasn’t great. Rich and I will take on board everything you have said. We do offer seasonal pitches and guests do like to make their pitch feel like a home from home. We do allow families to stay as well as dogs and we hope your dog was able to use the walks around the farm. I’m so sorry you didn’t like the toilets. They are temporary toilet and shower facilities as our new fully sustainable shower block with separate male, female and disabled facilities is due for completion in the couple of weeks. There was a separate individual toilet to the side of the main toilet block which I should have pointed out to you so your experience would have been more comfortable and I can only apologise.

Local attractions

It’s really worth bringing your walking shoes along for a stay here, as you can set off on foot for lots of local attractions, take in some of the Jurassic Coast’s top scenery on a hike along the South West Coast Path, or do a circuit of the nearby Isle of Portland. If you’d rather head straight to the beach, get down to Weymouth’s family-friendly stretch to see if you can build sandcastles that will rival the displays at Sandworld sand sculpture park. Also in town are the Sea Life Centre, Pirate Adventure Mini Golf and a harbour for fishing or wildlife-spotting boat trips. For leisurely days out nearby, try a visit to Bennetts Water Gardens (10 minutes’ drive), Abbotsbury Swannery (15 minutes), RSPB Lodmoor (15 minutes) or Hardys Cottage (25 minutes) or set off to explore the ghost village of Tyneham (45 minutes). If you’re after something livelier for the kids, the likes of Monkey World (half an hour) and Dorset Adventure Park (40 minutes) are likely to hit the spot.
