  • Relaxed, simple pitches on a 450-acre Dorset family dairy farm
  • A 15-minute drive to Weymouth and half an hour to Monkey World
  • A mile from the Jurassic Coast, with footpaths to Abbotsbury and Fleet
With a location just outside the Dorset National Landscape and only a mile from the Jurassic Coast, it's easy to see why one might want to settle here for quite some time… and that’s just what the family that runs Tatton Farm Campsite have done. The fourth generation runs this working dairy farm, and the fifth generation is rapidly falling in love with farm life too. Plenty of guests have found themselves rather fond of the place, too – there’s been a campsite successfully running here for more than 40 years. And what is it that’s kept the site so popular throughout that time? Well, perhaps the laidback atmosphere, the generous pitches and the fact that they’re surrounded by 450 acres of farmland… It’s all quite simple here – pitches are all on grass without electric, and there is a sustainable toilet and shower block that saves a whopping 2.5 tonnes of CO2 every year. You may also be pleased to hear that the field is flat and accessible for those with mobility issues, and the toilets and showers are fully wheelchair accessible. There is also an ileostomy station designed by a family member who has a colostomy bag. With few distractions, guests can properly relax – waking up to birdsong and spotting the dairy herd passing by each morning and evening are the norm here. The pitches back onto woodland, so there’s wildlife to look out for too, and you may catch a glimpse of the wild deer that live here. Of course, the farm’s location helps with making it an attractive place to stay – it’s about a 15-minute drive to Weymouth’s town centre and beach, and there are rural footpaths running from the farm to the likes of Abbotsbury, Fleet, Chesil Beach and the Hardy Monument (or to Weymouth, in fact).

Power optional grass campsite

Liked Unfortunately we could not get there as our little camper did not make it and we had to wait for the AA. When I messaged Vicky to tell her we had broken down she told me I could use my night on site again when we get the van fixed. We also had a lovely text welcoming us and telling what to do on arrival, this is top notch customer service, so sorry we did not get to meet you this time Vicky but we will take you up on that offer thank you.

Liked Soon as I arrived I met Vicky. She was honestly amazing! Had a chat and giggle and she made me feel so welcome. Pitches were very spacious. Facilities were so clean and lovely. I honestly can’t wait to come back and bring friends that time too. Best experience especially for my partners first camping experience. Thank you so much Tatton Farm

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Vicky and Rich were so welcoming, we instantly felt at home. They genuinely love meeting their guests! The camping field was a really lovely spot, and the surrounding farmland which we could walk around was beautiful. The facilities were absolutely fantastic and spotlessly clean! All eco friendly and renewable energy too. The campsite was the perfect size, not too big but not tiny either. It was quiet and the swifts were lovely to watch. My children were treated to a visit to the calves and got to bottle feed them, a thoughtful gesture whilst I packed away on leaving morning.

Local attractions

It’s really worth bringing your walking shoes along for a stay here, as you can set off on foot for lots of local attractions, take in some of the Jurassic Coast’s top scenery on a hike along the South West Coast Path, or do a circuit of the nearby Isle of Portland. If you’d rather head straight to the beach, get down to Weymouth’s family-friendly stretch to see if you can build sandcastles that will rival the displays at Sandworld sand sculpture park. Also in town are the Sea Life Centre, Pirate Adventure Mini Golf and a harbour for fishing or wildlife-spotting boat trips. For leisurely days out nearby, try a visit to Bennetts Water Gardens (10 minutes’ drive), Abbotsbury Swannery (15 minutes), RSPB Lodmoor (15 minutes) or Hardys Cottage (25 minutes) or set off to explore the ghost village of Tyneham (45 minutes). If you’re after something livelier for the kids, the likes of Monkey World (half an hour) and Dorset Adventure Park (40 minutes) are likely to hit the spot.
