What customers say
Pear Tree Farm gets top marks for its tranquil, rural setting with gorgeous country views. Guests rave about the friendly owner, Gary, and the spacious, well-kept pitches with plentiful water/electric. A gated entrance adds security. While family-friendly, some guests wished it was adults-only. A steep access road and metered electric were minor points, but most felt it offered great value.

Power optional grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked The views of rolling hills and grazing sheep were restful and picturesque: just what is needed to escape the busy routine of everyday life.
The site was peaceful. Loo/shower/washing-up area: all clean and spacious.
The owner, Gary, visits regularly and is most helpful with advice/information, whatever is required. We found him to be easily contactable, as well as friendly. We had a minor issue with our motorhome: he and his co-helper took care of it.
We would highly recommend Pear Tree farm and look forward to returning there.
Beaminster town is only a 6 to 10 minutes drive away and worth spending a few hours visiting: beautiful church, excellent bookstore, a few nice shops, river Brit nearby.
Yarn Barton car park is close to the center of town. It accommodates commercial vehicles and motorhomes.
Disliked Having to get back to ordinary, hard-work routine!

Steep path onto the site.
Power optional grass and gravel tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked View
Disliked This camp site was better for camper vans.
Pegging down a tent was very difficult extremely rocky ground several pegs were bent.
1 toilet and 1 shower to be shared between 10 pitches on our stay there were 12 adults!
The shower used a £1.00 coin. There were no paper towels in the 1 toilet.
The signage to the site was very small and easily missed.

Great communication. Good site and very funny host.
Power optional grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked Gary was very easy to communicate with. Originally I’d booked the wrong dates, rang Gary who said it wasn’t a problem and for me to just turn up when I’d originally wanted.

Fantastic site
Power optional grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked The location of the site is very scenic and tranquil. The pitches are a really good size and lots of electric and water points. This was our second stay at the site and have booked another 2 weekends here. If a relaxed stay within a quite setting is for you then this site is a must.
