The site is on a small working alpaca and cattle farm and has plenty of woodland walks.

Right next door to Monkey World, and 2 minutes from the Tank Museum a fun day out for all the family
Located on a farm with an onsite woodland walk and alpacas to meet!
About Longthorns Farm
There are 47 acres at Longthorns Farm, used to produce hay and haylage. As well as being a lovely camping spot, the farm is becoming increasingly well known for its alpacas too. There are quite a number of them now - with some award winners amongst them. Longthorns Farm has a long history of farming and camping and has more recently also been hired for the private use of weddings and events, fabulous for a Wedding Weekender with The Parlour and marquee and all Longthorns has to offer As well as camping and touring pitches (with optional electric), the site also offers a range of glamping accommodation, from TippeCo tipis to shepherd's huts and eco-pods. Visitors enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the site, along with the glamping aspect.
Camping and the shepherds huts are available all year round. The tipis and eco-pods are available between March and September.
Excellent facilities include well maintained showers and toilets (including an accessibility room), pot wash, fridge and freezer. There is also a shop, The Parlour with pop-up bar and offering takeaways.
The aim here is to recycle and reuse wherever possible, and you'll see evidence of that around the site, with due respect to nature.

This was our 2nd time staying here and we will definitely return again. The campsite is run by a lovely family who keep the site extremely clean. On site, there's a small shop, bar, woodland area, alpaca's and the added bonus of a large field to run your dog off their lead. Food can also be ordered for an evening meal. The campsite location is perfect if you like to explore and enjoy days out. There is so much to do all within minutes from the campsite. Monkey World, The Tank Museum, Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove & Castle, Kimmeridge, Corfe Castle and Swanage are just a few to name. We are happy to say we have had another fab stay here.
