Great Jackleigh Farm

Semi-rural pop-up site in the Axe Valley with generously sized pitches
A mile from Axminster town centre; 15 minutes' drive from the coast
Firepits welcome and firewood for sale; well-behaved dogs welcome

Delve deeper into Dorset and Devon with a stay at Great Jackleigh Farm, a pop-up campsite set on a gently sloping field in the spectacular Axe Valley. This peaceful site is part of a working farm and reverts back to agricultural use when guests aren't staying here. It's in a quiet location, with the little noise there is mostly coming from the livestock grazing in neighbouring fields and the background hum of agricultural machinery. Well-behaved dogs are welcome here, but please remember that other animals are around so they’ll need to be kept on leads at all times. The farm is a mile from the centre of Axminster, where there are pubs, restaurants, a railway station, taxi ranks and bus stops. The fact that the A35 is similarly close makes it easy to get around and about in the local area, with the nearest Jurassic Coast beaches reachable in about a quarter of an hour's drive. Back at base, you can look forward to basic but well-maintained facilities – all pitches have access to an old barn for shade on hot days (or shelter on wet ones), showers, toilets and a washing-up area. Firepits are welcome too, and wood is sold on site on request. Guests who'd rather not use the shared facilities are welcome to bring a portable toilet for personal use.
