  • Adults-only site on a 25-acre family farm in west Dorset
  • West Bay beach 20 minutes' drive; half an hour to Lyme Regis
  • Footpaths running from the site; five minutes' drive from Beaminster
If your vision for your Dorset break is all country lanes, green views and fields dotted with farm animals, then you’ll be able to bring that picture to life with a stay at Willow Farm Camp Site. This peaceful adults-only site is part of a family-run farm where you'll be surrounded by about 25 acres of green fields that are diligently grazed by the resident sheep who will be your neighbours for the duration of your stay. The scenery here is gorgeous, taking in woodland and several lakes as well as the fields, and the lack of light pollution means the views are just as good after dark on a clear night. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this setting is a popular one with wildlife too – you may well see bats, deer and kingfishers around the farm or when setting off on local walks. Several paths lead from the farm, including one to Little Giant Wood, where you can follow a circular trail through the trees. In the village of Stoke Abbott, five minutes' drive away, there is a pub with very good food. Beaminster, also five minutes' drive away, has lots of cafés, restaurants, pubs and independent shops including a butcher where you can pick up top-notch local meat and cheese for your picnic sandwiches (made with bread from the town bakery, of course). Guests are permitted to create a barbecue on half-drum firepits.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Came here as I could not find anything else last minute, to my surprise a very lovely campsite. Basic facilities but very clean.
Very quiet, nice surroundings and views. No road noise at nights just the noise of the farm sheep in this camping, recommended :)

Disliked Slighly hilly place but that’s how you get the views ^^

From the manager: Glad you enjoyed our site Maria.

Stephen S.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely peaceful place, listening to lambs call for their mums,nice walks around the surrounding area. We had doors open at night and wonderful view, even saw a shooting star . Woke up in morning and was watching a deer foraging in the opposite field. Well kept, clean facilities more than catered for our limited needs. We were on one of the hard stands at the top with plenty of space to pitch up any awnings and the best view. Met both Sharon and Tom who were both very helpful and accommodating. If your looking for a quiet getaway go here , we are looking forward to returning. Thanks.

Disliked Going home.

From the manager: We’re so pleased you enjoyed staying at Willow Farm. Thank you for a lovely review and we look forward to seeing you again 🤗

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Owner was very friendly and came over to greet us just after we had arrived. We had the tent field to ourselves and surrounded by fields of beautiful sheep and their lambs.
Facilities were as described, and clean.
The campsite was not far away from attractions such as Lyme regis.

Disliked Nothing.

It's a great place to camp.
