About the site
With its farm setting, eco-friendly facilities, and animal encounters, this site is a wonderful destination for a memorable off-grid camping experience. It's set in an ideal location, just a ten minute drive from Bridport and five minute drive from Jurassic Coast beaches. Dorchester is also just a 20 minute drive away. On the farm, guests can enjoy feeding sessions with the animals, alpaca meet-and-greets, and other animal-inspired activities. There are just ten non electric grass pitches for tents and campervans, as well as three non electric woodchip pitches for campervans only. The camping fields are car-free zones, and wheelbarrows are available for guests to transport their gear to their pitch. If you're not wanting to put up a tent, you can stay in one for the cosy unfurnished bell tents, just bring your camping beds and equipment. The site also offers a charming 3m bell tent that sleeps two. On a raised deck, this beautifully furnished tent features a double bed complete with soft linen and indoor seating. Relax in the cosy outdoor seating area and take in the natural surroundings. Here the atmosphere is both basic and comfortable, with an eco-friendly twist. You'll notice that the site features many upcycled building materials that have been thoughtfully repurposed to minimise the impact on the environment. Guests are encouraged to take eco-friendly products to avoid putting anything toxic on the land. BBQs are allowed, but guests are asked to raise them off the ground and use the logs available for purchase onsite. For those who want to explore the area without using a car, the Jurassic Coaster is right on the doorstep within a 15 minute walk. This site is certified with the Wanderlust Camping Club.

A wonderful quiet little spot near Burton Bradstock. Claire was very friendly and welcoming as were the alpacas and goats. Fire pit hire was brilliant and made our stay fun. We would have stayed longer but we had to go back to work! Very eco friendly.

Aww, what a lovely review, you were super great guests and just means you need to come back! So glad our fur family kept you entertained and you got to have a gorgeous stay on a balmy Spring weekend in The Bride Valley and got to relax by an open fire. We also love that you support our planet as much as we try to. Clair and the Alpacas (Shirley and Valentine) x
Nice, little stay! Better toilets would benefit the site

Nice, little campsite with goats and alpacas. Very peaceful. Facilities very basic. Chemical toilets are a major downside to the stay as cleanliness isn't great. Perfect for a one night stay, but would struggle without proper toilets.
Site's response
Hi Jamie, Yes we have events toilets. The listing does mention this as well as our confirmation email, where we clearly list our events toilets in both of those before anyone arrives. Sadly, we cannot control other guests and can assure everyone that the toilets are cleaned with eco-products, and checked regularly as well as there are large signs on the loos, to notify us if there is any issues. We have had plenty of lovely feedback that these are sufficient. If you had contacted us on site, we could have addressed the concerns. As an eco and environmental site, we also don't want to be dumping our waste along with everyone else's into river and sea sewage dumps. All waste is taken off site and treated and in fact goes back to farming land for regeneration and water supply. We actually don't accept chemical waste, there is no chemical waste dumping on our site. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope you find a more suitable site for your standards and requirements.
Fantastic, loved everything about this site!

Just got back and wished we had extended for another night! We will most definitely book again! It was a lovely place to stay in with the Alpacas. Claire is a wonderful host, super knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. So dedicated and concerned for the welfare of the animals. We all had the best time. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
