  • Family-run site a mile from the Jurassic Coast
  • Footpath leading to the South West Coast Path
  • Shop next door and pubs within walking distance
Guests return season after season to serene Osmington Mills Corner Campsite in its Dorset coast setting just outside the village of Osmington: it's been family run for over 60 years and has Dorset site stays down pat. Spacious pitches, room for kids to run around, and scenic views towards Weymouth four miles away are the secrets of its success, along with a peaceful rural vibe, restaurants nearby, and the site's closeness to the sea, a mile from the beaches of the Jurassic Coast. You can easily access the region's spectacular walks from here too, as a footpath leads from the site to the coast to connect with the South West Coast Path. (Or if that's a no thanks to the walk, a bus stop is just outside the site with services running to Weymouth.) Osmington has toilets, showers, a washing-up area and the means for ice pack freezing and gadget charging. A shop is next door to the site, and pubs and restaurants are within walking distance.

What customers say

A friendly, budget-friendly campground with a relaxed vibe in a beautiful rural setting. Guests love the freedom to pick their spot, spacious grounds, and great value. Basic, clean facilities. On-site shop & proximity to attractions like coastal paths & Weymouth are big pluses. Some mention traffic noise & basic showers, but it's a great base for exploring.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Beautiful and peaceful location with stunning countryside and sea views. Spacious pitches and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Great access to the coastal path and beaches nearby, perfect for walking and exploring Dorset. Facilities were clean and well maintained. Staff were friendly and welcoming, making the stay feel comfortable.

Disliked Nothing major, just note that it’s a basic, back-to-nature site, which we personally enjoyed!

Olivia S.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Very convenient easy going campsite right on the main bus route. Clean but basic facilities but the lady wasn’t constantly cleaning and making sure toilet roll and paper towels were stocked and it was clean. Ideal for a couple of nights stay. Even better for cheap if you e a vehicle to get around in,

Local attractions

Get out onto the South West Coast Path close to the site, try your hand at fishing for Dorset mackerel, canter along the coast on horseback, take a boat out, or up the ante with some kayaking or zorbing… all available nearby. Weymouth, four miles away, has been a famed Dorset seaside spot since Georgian times and these days has stacks to do such as sailing and surfing (several surf schools are around if you're just starting out), a long sandy beach and a Sea Life Centre, miniature railway and RSPB reserve above the town at Lodmoor Country Park. More famed Dorset days can be had with fossil hunting on Chesil Beach, six miles away, and taking in the sight of spectacular Durdle Door at Lulworth Cove, within seven miles of the site. You could also chatter with the inhabitants of Monkey World, see the swans at the award-winning Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, or steam along to the Tank Museum at Bovington, all reachable within 10 miles.
