  • 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

This is a friendly, relaxed campsite in a beautiful location, offering great value. Guests praise the spacious, unassigned spots and the helpful, welcoming owners. Facilities are generally clean & basic, though some find them dated. Well-located for coastal walks, beaches, and public transport to Weymouth, with a handy on-site shop. Some road noise & occasional overcrowding were noted.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked Everything, it's a great location, easy to commute into Weymouth either by bus ( stop directly outside) or by car, if you like to walk this is also doable. Pub within walking distance, friendly couple who own it. Reasonably priced, basic but this is all we needed. We have used this site regularly over the last 2 years, my children love it also.

Rees S.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked Facilities were very clean, showers were a good temperature too. Even though the site is a hill, they levelled many sections to make it suitable for camping! Owners were very friendly as well. Really close to bus stop and coastal path, great spot. I had decent cell coverage on three network as well.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked The pitch was spacious with excellent views and air, you could see loads of stars at night. There’s a pub super nearby with a beach and a lovely walk, plus easily accessible bus stops all at a really good price.
Definitely check out the dairy farm down the road too if you need eggs or milk!

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.
