  • Small, friendly site surrounded by the Dorset countryside
  • A 20 minute-drive from West Bay; 35 minutes from Lyme Regis
  • Back to basics, dog-friendly place; pubs five minutes’ drive away
Eyeing up the darling Dorset countryside? Pick yourselves a pretty pitch at Pear Tree Farm, a small and friendly site surrounded by scenic views of the Beaminster Downs. And it's not all about the views – you'll also have access to a good supply of country footpaths here. As well as those rural hikes, you'll also be able to include coastal activities to your schedule easily enough. Lyme Regis is 35 minutes’ drive away from the site, for days spent foraging for fossils, trying out watersports or chilling out along The Cobb harbour. As for classic beach days, West Bay is about 20 minutes’ drive away. As a dog-friendly site, you won’t need to leave any faithful canine companions behind on your stay here. If dining out is high up on your priorities for a holiday too, you should be pleased to know that Beaminster is five minutes’ drive away and has several pubs and restaurants for eating out or takeaways. When you’re looking for a livelier day out, the lovely Weymouth is also 40 minutes’ drive away. Its beach huts, Georgian houses and busy seafront are sure to keep you very occupied for a day. Safety and security are key features at this site – it's accessed via an electric gate with a key code that's only available to guests. Covering the basics, the site has toilet and shower facilities.

What customers say

Pear Tree Farm is loved for its peaceful vibe, great views, and value. Guests rave about friendly owner Garry and the excellent, level pitches. While generally clean, limited facilities can be tight when busy. A few noted tent ground issues or occasional hot water hiccups, but most found it a secure, well-kept gem and want to return.

Power optional grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely small very basic set up with lovely big pitches & very laid back management
Great views

Disliked Not the owners fault but I had issues with an unsecured dog & noisy early rising small children ( not their fault either but a 6am wake up on holiday wasn’t ideal)
The only down side is only 1 toilet & shower. I guess this is less of a problem if more caravans & motorhomes

Power optional grass and gravel tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Beautiful view, warm welcome, laid back vibe. Garry and his dad, Dave were great - they even made sure we had a heatwave for the week 😆😀

The ground is quite stoney so a tough groundsheet and strong pegs is a good idea.

 Jo m. 5 reviews

Power optional grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Peaceful, clean, lovely scenery and a very good nights sleep. Back to basis is just what we wanted.
There’s EHU, water, 1 decent sized shower, 1 toilet and a washing up area. What more do you need for a lovely small site.

Disliked Took a while to find the bins. Thought they’d be next to the toilet/washing up block.

Local attractions

After you've viewed the Dorset countryside dealt to you on site, track down some pretty spots on the Dorset coast too. Views of Golden Cap and fossils to find make Eype beach (25 minutes’ drive) a good place to start. If your fossil hunting needs haven’t already been met in Lyme Regis and on Eype Beach, Charmouth (half an hour) is another place to continue your search. A busier beach scene can be experienced in Weymouth (40 minutes), along with an RSPB reserve and an aquarium with an ocean tunnel. Along the south coast, Abbotsbury Swannery (35 minutes) has a colony of nesting swans and the Isle of Portland (55 minutes) is packed with interesting geology and beaches – and, in turn, impressive coastal walks and watersports. History nerds have lots to look forward to too. Forde Abbey House and Gardens (25 minutes) isn’t just a historic country house. Green-fingered folk can pick up some bits in the garden centre. Have yourself a historic hike at Coney's Castle (25 minutes) too, where there’s an Iron Age hillfort and views of Devon and Marshwood Vale.
