  • Wild-style camping with stunning views over the Jurassic Coast
  • A 10-minute drive from Weymouth; 15 minutes to Isle of Portland
  • Footpath leading to the coast path; a short walk to pubs and amenities
Check out those views… True to its name, Seaview Farm is right on the Jurassic Coast, with stunning views out over Chesil Beach and the Fleet Lagoon. You could quite possibly sit and stare at those views for many hours here (and if you choose to do that, you may be pleased to know that you’re welcome to spark up a barbecue for cooking and keeping warm while you watch the sunset over the sea). Not content with sitting still? This is a cracking location for walkers in particular: footpaths lead off from the farm in all directions, including one that heads off down towards the South West Coast Path and beyond to the Isle of Portland. A supermarket, a clutch of takeaways and several pubs are within walking distance too. You could, in fact, ditch the car for much of your stay at this Dorset site: there’s a bus stop a short walk away for jaunts around the area by public transport. If you are driving, however, you can get to Weymouth town centre and beach with a journey of less than 10 minutes, to Durdle Door or West Bay in about half an hour, or inland to the Cerne Abbas Giant in a similar amount of time. This is a wild-style stay with pitches on a spacious and slightly sloping field accessed via a track. There are no electrical connections here, but guests will have access to water, regularly serviced portable toilets and showers.

What customers say

Spacious, neat site with great views and campfires for a real back-to-basics feel. Facilities clean, adequate but could be upgraded. Close to amenities. Wind can be strong; beach access is via a walk.

Liked The location had a lovely view looking over the water with 2 trails coming off the site for something to do. Also close to shops such as Aldi which is helpful for picking up food and other bits. The facilities (toilets and showers) were very clean and easy to use! Thank you so much.

Ellie L. 1 review

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked We stayed for 3 nights in our tent on a non-electric pitch overlooking the lake. The pitches were a good size and well spaced out, which made the site feel peaceful.

The open-top showers were a nice feature, and the toilets were clean throughout our stay. It was also handy having an ice cream van in the evenings and a breakfast trailer serving coffee in the mornings. Only a 9 minute drive to Weymouth beachfront, however walking distance to a co-op and bus stop.

Overall, we had an enjoyable stay and would recommend the site to anyone looking for a quiet camping break in the Weymouth area.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Fab location-beautiful views. Allows log fires as long as off the ground. Ice cream van came on to site and catering truck available at weekend. Very spacious!

Disliked No water to wash hands at toilets and no sinks to clean teeth or wash at. Water pressure level very low so very slow filling up water containers also got busy and was very frustrating when wanted water for my morning tea. Washing up facilities not good-no hot water and pipe kept coming apart.

Local attractions

You’re bound to want to explore the Dorset coastline a little further once you’ve spied the sea from the site, so set off for a stroll along the coast path or plot a course to Weymouth (10 minutes’ drive) to play on the sand or meet the marine creatures at the Sea Life Centre. A couple of Dorset’s main icons – Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door – are about half an hour away by car, but there are plenty of quieter corners around to visit too. If you’re keen to give your hiking boots a good workout, start with a wander around the Hardy Monument or explore trails in the Valley of Stones National Nature Reserve (both 10 minutes’ drive). Mix in a bit of history as you walk with outings to Portland Castle or Jordan Hill Roman Temple (both 15 minutes) or get up close to the Cerne Giant (half an hour). For more days out, try Abbotsbury (15 minutes) for the swannery and subtropical gardens or Dorchester (20 minutes) for the dinosaur and teddy bear museums and Maiden Castle fort.
