  • Little on-site shop with fresh coffee and bacon sandwiches
Lace up your hiking boots and pack up your beach gear, for Pineapple Farm Holidays is an adults-only site on a family-run farm within the countryside of the Dorset National Landscape. The site is set next to a small business park in some converted farm buildings 15 minutes' drive from Bridport and West Bay beach, so it is also in a prime location for days out by the coast. There's lots to look forward to at this place, whether it's the wildlife and picnic area (private and only for guests) or the apple orchard (accessible to all). Dogs are asked to be kept on the lead while around the pitches, but they're welcome to run off the lead in the orchard. All of the pitches have water, electricity and their very own firepit. Long before a British TV crime drama made the surrounding coast famous, those in the know came here for a slice of heaven: they were building hill forts with sea views two and a half thousand years ago, and aeons before that, the dinosaurs were down on the beach. Handily, from Pineapple Farm Holidays, it's easy to get stuck right into the beaches with fossils and stunning views; two, including West Bay and Eype beach, are within a 15-minute drive. For any cravings, there are two fine pubs a short walk or a five-minute drive away, dishing up fresh food; if you're still thirsty, the cider farm and vineyard should have something for you, and if you drive five minutes south you can stock up on local produce at the local farm shop. You need go no further, but you definitely will... Campfires are welcome in the complimentary firepits provided, and barbecues are welcome as long as they are raised from the ground. Pineapple Farm Holidays is part of Pineapple Estate, which includes the site, as well as a farm, a shop, a business park and self storage.

Clover electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: An absolute gem of a site.We stayed for 3 nights in our campervan. Peaceful friendly site. Very clean facilities, warm showers. Spacious pitches with own drinking water tap, firepit, and stunning views. Very friendly and helpful staff. Small onsite shop with all the basics that you need including delicious ice-cream for both humans and dogs!!! An orchard for off lead dog walking.
Only a mile walk to a very decent local pub serving good traditional pub food, with veggie, vegan and GF options. This walk also passes the local cider farm which is worth calling in especially on a Saturday evening, when they serve food and have live music to enjoy while sampling the local cider.
One of the best sites we have been to. We will definitely be back!!!!

Disliked: Nothing!!!!

Clover electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Well spaced, generous pitches. With electric hookup and fresh water tap. Toilet, shower blocks and washing up areas were kept clean and were of a good standard. Makesure you follow the directions given by the campsite and not the sat nav or Google maps!
The team at Pineapple Farm are friendly and helpful. We really had a great weekend and plan on returning.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We always love to hear that people have enjoyed their stay with us and will come back again.
You are quite right, our directions are a lot more direct than the winding lanes the satnavs seem to prefer!
We look forward to seeing you next time.

Clover electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: A fantastic 3 night stay at Pineapple Farm. The staff were so welcoming and helpful. The toilets and showers were spotless. Fresh water on the pitch was a nice addition too. The site is blissfully quiet and very dog friendly. Our dog loved running around the orchard, and it was such a beautiful spot to just sit and listen to the bees buzzing in the apple trees. Can't wait to return and spend more time in this beautiful area.

Disliked: Nothing!

Clover electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: High quality and clean facilities
Friendly staff
Repurposed washing machine drums for fire pits!

Disliked: No mobile signal to speak of, at least on vodafone, and the wifi doesn't reach the pitches (although they don't claim that it does!) - would have been nice to have at least one or the other - but this is a very minor gripe!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We're delighted you and the dog enjoyed your stay with us.
The fire pits are very popular and create a lovely evening atmosphere.
We are investigating improving our wifi provision.so perhaps by the next time you come it'll reach a little further.

Loved this site. So close to other places of interest.

Local attractions

Head to West Bay (15 minutes' drive) for a first glimpse of the world-famous coastline; you'll get even better views on a boat cruise round the cliffs, or try kayaking it yourself. Abbotsbury (half an hour) is a popular spot to start walking the shingle airstrip-cum-sandbar that forms famous Chesil Beach. Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre (25 minutes) has fine examples of the fossils found nearby, including the Sea Dragon (an icthyosaur, in fact) unearthed in 2016. It's also the starting point for guided fossil hunts and rockpool rambles... you could come home with an icthyosaur of your own... West Bay lies on the mighty 680-mile South West Coast Path, but fret not, you don't have to walk it all. A trip round to the old lookout point of Thorncombe Beacon makes a pleasant ramble, especially as there's a pub at the end, or you could drive to Stonebarrow Hill (25 minutes) and explore the Golden Cap, a clifftop wilderness populated by peregrine falcons and butterflies. For diehard townies, there's a market selling something (vinyl or vintage, antiques and organics) in Bridport (15 minutes) almost daily and elegant Lyme Regis (half an hour) looks like a film set, especially when the fog rolls in.
