  • Adults-only site on a 25-acre family farm in west Dorset
  • West Bay beach 20 minutes' drive; half an hour to Lyme Regis
  • Footpaths running from the site; five minutes' drive from Beaminster
If your vision for your Dorset break is all country lanes, green views and fields dotted with farm animals, then you’ll be able to bring that picture to life with a stay at Willow Farm Camp Site. This peaceful adults-only site is part of a family-run farm where you'll be surrounded by about 25 acres of green fields that are diligently grazed by the resident sheep who will be your neighbours for the duration of your stay. The scenery here is gorgeous, taking in woodland and several lakes as well as the fields, and the lack of light pollution means the views are just as good after dark on a clear night. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this setting is a popular one with wildlife too – you may well see bats, deer and kingfishers around the farm or when setting off on local walks. Several paths lead from the farm, including one to Little Giant Wood, where you can follow a circular trail through the trees. In the village of Stoke Abbott, five minutes' drive away, there is a pub with very good food. Beaminster, also five minutes' drive away, has lots of cafés, restaurants, pubs and independent shops including a butcher where you can pick up top-notch local meat and cheese for your picnic sandwiches (made with bread from the town bakery, of course). Guests are permitted to create a barbecue on half-drum firepits.

What customers say

A lovely, tranquil spot with cracking views, perfect for a quiet break. Sharon and Tom are boss owners, and the place is spotless. Great for seeing the sights. Just a heads-up, tent folk: ads for showers might be a bit off, and the lanes are narrow. Highly recommended, most want to come back.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Absolutely everything. Very peaceful small campsite with five motorhome pitches and plenty of room for tents. Clean facilities, three shower/toilet/wash stand units and a lovely living room type cabin with cooking and washing up facilities and a great view. Would definitely recommend and we hope to return some day.

Disliked Nothing.

Liked Campsite was quiet and we had access to the toilet and shower block.
Tom (owner)was awesome saving us with a hammer as ground was a bit hard. Really enjoyed the locality as lots to see around the site. Local village handy for shopping and lovely meals out.
Would love to come back soon.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Came here as I could not find anything else last minute, to my surprise a very lovely campsite. Basic facilities but very clean.
Very quiet, nice surroundings and views. No road noise at nights just the noise of the farm sheep in this camping, recommended :)

Disliked Slighly hilly place but that’s how you get the views ^^

From the manager: Glad you enjoyed our site Maria.
