  • Peaceful adults-only and dog-friendly site with complimentary firepits
  • A 15-minute walk to the pub and cider farm; 15 mins' drive to beaches
  • Little on-site shop with fresh coffee and bacon sandwiches
Lace up your hiking boots and pack up your beach gear, for Pineapple Farm Holidays is an adults-only site on a family-run farm within the countryside of the Dorset National Landscape. The site is set next to a small business park in some converted farm buildings 15 minutes' drive from Bridport and West Bay beach, so it is also in a prime location for days out by the coast. There's lots to look forward to at this place, whether it's the wildlife and picnic area (private and only for guests) or the apple orchard (accessible to all). Dogs are asked to be kept on the lead while around the pitches, but they're welcome to run off the lead in the orchard. All of the pitches have water, electricity and their very own firepit. Long before a British TV crime drama made the surrounding coast famous, those in the know came here for a slice of heaven: they were building hill forts with sea views two and a half thousand years ago, and aeons before that, the dinosaurs were down on the beach. Handily, from Pineapple Farm Holidays, it's easy to get stuck right into the beaches with fossils and stunning views; two, including West Bay and Eype beach, are within a 15-minute drive. For any cravings, there are two fine pubs a short walk or a five-minute drive away, dishing up fresh food; if you're still thirsty, the cider farm and vineyard should have something for you, and if you drive five minutes south you can stock up on local produce at the local farm shop. You need go no further, but you definitely will... Campfires are welcome in the complimentary firepits provided, and barbecues are welcome as long as they are raised from the ground. Pineapple Farm Holidays is part of Pineapple Estate, which includes the site, as well as a farm, a shop, a business park and self storage.

Buttercup electric grass pitch

Liked Amazing pitch. Large and private
Clean showers and toilets
Staff friendly and helpful

Disliked Always one that spoils it for the rest.
Despite everyone conforming and using the camps wood one guest chose to light the fire pit with wood and grass he had collected thus filling out caravan with black smoke.

From the manager: We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the majority of your stay with us and felt welcomed.

Past experience has taught us that the wood we sell in the shop is much more pleasant to burn than other types and that is exactly why we encourage guests to use it. We also use the ash to enrich the soil in our wildlife area which is an added bonus.

We do hope this didn't put you off another stay and look forward to welcoming you in the future.

Really nice stay. We would have explored the walks more if we had time

Claire S.

Honeysuckle electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked The clear lay out of pitches.
Non gendered showers-no queues.
Quiet.
The whole site's layout, water and power etc.
The shop (although we didn't use it much)

Disliked The early morning glass bin emptying!
The crazy narrow lanes/limited passing places.
Internet was sketchy.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, you managed to get some beautiful photos.
It's great that you enjoyed the site and our facilities.

We are working on improving the internet but admittedly the rural nature of the site does mean not all areas are currently covered.
We do understand that the lane can be a little daunting for larger vehicles but we count ourselves lucky that it is only a quarter of a mile of lane yet we still benefit from being out in the peace and quiet of the countryside

Fabulous

Clover electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Everything. Peaceful, clean and tidy, good loo's and showers, very helpful staff, the mexican food van on Thursday evening was an unexpected treat.

Disliked As a new tower the roads to get there were narrow, even following the campsite's instructions with a steep driveway. This still wouldn't put me off going again.

From the manager: It's lovely to hear you liked everything about our little site and enjoyed Tortilla Cantina on Thursday - he survived to tell the tail despite the heat!
We're so glad you feel confident to tackle the lane again - hopefully you find people pretty willing to reverse to a passing space. We look forward to seeing you another time.

Clean well kept site

Local attractions

Head to West Bay (15 minutes' drive) for a first glimpse of the world-famous coastline; you'll get even better views on a boat cruise round the cliffs, or try kayaking it yourself. Abbotsbury (half an hour) is a popular spot to start walking the shingle airstrip-cum-sandbar that forms famous Chesil Beach. Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre (25 minutes) has fine examples of the fossils found nearby, including the Sea Dragon (an icthyosaur, in fact) unearthed in 2016. It's also the starting point for guided fossil hunts and rockpool rambles... you could come home with an icthyosaur of your own... West Bay lies on the mighty 680-mile South West Coast Path, but fret not, you don't have to walk it all. A trip round to the old lookout point of Thorncombe Beacon makes a pleasant ramble, especially as there's a pub at the end, or you could drive to Stonebarrow Hill (25 minutes) and explore the Golden Cap, a clifftop wilderness populated by peregrine falcons and butterflies. For diehard townies, there's a market selling something (vinyl or vintage, antiques and organics) in Bridport (15 minutes) almost daily and elegant Lyme Regis (half an hour) looks like a film set, especially when the fog rolls in.
