A small and peaceful campsite located within the Dorset National Lands
Less than five miles from the iconic Jurassic Coast
Ideal for exploring both coast and countryside.

Situated in rural West Dorset, between Lyme Regis and Bridport, Prime Farm opens its gates for the first time in 2025. With spacious wildflower meadow pitches overlooking the stunning Marshwood Vale, Prime Farm gives guests the space and tranquillity to relax and enjoy this beautiful part of the world. Camping: Three tent-only grass camping pitches (non-electric). Two are located in a beautiful six-acre wildflower meadow, and the third in a more sheltered field closer to the facilities. Each pitch is generously spaced, offering ample room and privacy for guests to unwind. Every pitch includes a picnic table and fire pit. Glamping: The fabulous 17-foot Mongolian yurt sits in a secluded one-acre meadow and comes with its own composting toilet, picnic table, and fire pit. Furnished with a king-sized bed and two optional children’s beds (bedding provided), the yurt offers exclusive access to the field, perfect for a peaceful and private stay. Facilities: The entire camping and glamping site is off-grid. Facilities include composting toilets, a gas-heated shower, and a washing-up area. There is no electricity on site. The nights can be wonderfully dark and star-filled, so don’t forget to bring a torch. Enjoy sunsets and sunrises, the sound of songbirds, and the chance to spot hares, deer, and other wildlife. You're surrounded by nature here. Worth Noting: To maintain peace and safety for all guests we do not allow cars on site. Pitches are approximately 150m from the parking area, with wheelbarrows to help you transport your things. We only allow one car per booking. no dogs and no group bookings
