What customers say

Spacious pitches, lovely owners, and beautiful countryside at Moonfleet Farm. Clean facilities with unique shepherd hut showers and a peaceful vibe. Great for families with animals and play areas. Handy for exploring, with a pub nearby. Minor notes: farm dogs can wander, and more loos needed when busy.

Daniel B.

Electric optional grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Really enjoyed staying on a working farm, site was busy and had moments of peace and quiet but also an active atmosphere.

Disliked Although it stayed quiet time after 9pm some groups were still very loud late into the night.

Will take into account its a working farm at busy time of year but it did not feel the cleanest it could be and on one day there was no hot water . (Probably due to it being busy)

Jude F.

Electric optional grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked This is a very relaxed and peaceful campsite right in the countryside. It is a working farm with animals surrounding the campsite. There are some lovely touches like some of the toilet and shower facilities being in shepherds huts. There are 4 cubicles with a shower and toilet on each which is convenient, there is an additional separate toilet too. As well as washing up facilities and a washing machine and tumble dryer should you need it. The owners were really accommodating and couldn’t do enough to help. They have fire pits you can borrow and logs and kindling you can buy from them. We had some lovely evening camp fires and some fantastic views of the milkyway. The pub across the field is lovely, if a bit pricey, but a nice break from cooking at camp. The farm shop just across the road from the pub is more than a farm shop, they sell a bit of everything, really convenient if you should need any supplies. Apart from that the nearest supermarket is 20mins away in blandford forum, a cute little town I recommend a wonder around with a lovely walk way along the river stour.
Throughly recommend this site for a slice of peace and quiet in the countryside.

Disliked Nothing to dislike!

Stephanie F.

Electric optional grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Peaceful campsite near to the picturesque village of Milton Abbas. With limited light leaking from towns, on a clear night you can see alot of stars. Large pitches, amenties easy to find and use. Use of fire pits were an added bonus. The owners couldn't do enough, all questions answered. A great little getaway, just wish we had more time to relax sooner. They also had a pool table and a ping-pong table for the kids of an afternoon. A 5-min walk to the local pub across the fields. Perfect.

Electric optional grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Everything! This is our 4th visit to Moonfleet, it's just perfect. Linda, Clive and Rowena are all lovely people and very friendly. The shower and toilet facilities are well looked after. The sunsets are out of this world and with no light pollution the stars all come out to play it's a spectacular sight. Kids always make friends and can safely play over the campsite field. Lots of animals to see. It's also a perfect base to visit the D day museum Portland, Weymouth, Swanage, Corfe Castle, Monkey World, Bovington Tank Museum, West Bay, Lyme Regis, the rest of the Jurassic Coast and much more!
We will be returning next year as soon as the kids break up in July.

Disliked Our stay went too quickly!

Local attractions

The walks around Moonfleet Farm along local lanes and through scenic Dorset countryside lead to the likes of pretty local village Milton Abbas, Milton Abbey, Athelhampton House, Cerne Abbas and sending the kids into fits of giggles when they spy mighty chalk Cerne Giant etched into the hillside. Arf. A heap of other Dorset history is a little further afield, such as that at the former Saxon cathedral of Sherborne Abbey, or at historic houses and gardens, abbeys and churches. Also go for Corfe Castle on the Isle of Purbeck and potter around the county town of Dorchester with the Dinosaur Museum, Dorchester Museum, Teddy Bear Museum, Tutankhamen Exhibition and the Roman Amphitheatre. (Have a look at the Thomas Hardy Trail and weekly market in Dorchester too.) Wareham, Swanage, Weymouth, and Salisbury are easily accessible by car and have enough to do to keep you going for several weeks; among our many recommendations are puffing along on award-wining and steamy Swanage Railway, seeing Salisbury's splendid cathedral, wandering around the RSPB reserve at Weymouth or hiking the 15 or so miles of the spectacular Purbeck Way. Fishing fan? Investigate the waters around the harbours of Poole and Weymouth.
