Thorncombe Farm Reviews

Thorncombe Farm is a small, family-run camping and glamping site, offering a quiet place to pitch your tent or tourer in Hardy Country in Dorset. Bell tents are also available for glamping. Only a five minute drive from Dorchester and 20 minutes from the Jurassic Coast, it's a great base for exploring Dorset's many attractions. Campfires are encouraged as it's the perfect place to cook the farm's fresh food. Dogs are welcome too!

Bell Tent - Bell TentsAug 2023

We have just come home from a 3 night stay with our two children (6 & 2). The kids loved the site and enjoyed seeing the goats, horses and sheep every day. The campsite was lovely and quiet with lots of green areas for the kids to run around and play. The facilities were clean with spacious bell tents with everything you need for basic camping. The location was ideal as it was quite remote, meaning it was quiet and not too far from Weymouth town centre. We would definitely visit again and highly recommend 🙂

Brilliant site

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2023

Ness the owner is amazing. She gave us a very warm welcome and she was a character! Toilets, showers and washing-up stations are all clean and maintained. The ground was good for pegs and was also flat and comfortable with no thistles or lumps. You can buy sausages and eggs. We hired a firepit - well worth it. Perfect. Although less facilities than a commercial campsite - much better in my opinion. There are glamping tents available if you can't be bothered to pitch your own. They take caravans, campervans and all sorts. There are electric points in one of the fields.

Lovely stay

Bell Tent - Bell TentsJul 2023

Lovely stay at Thorncombe Farm. Straightforward to get to from Dorchester for someone without a car (which is not something you can say about all campsites!). Even as a woman on my own, I felt very safe. Comfortable tent, very clean showers and toilets, plus washing up facilities. 2 gas hobs and a fire pit provided for use with a complimentary bag of wood. The picnic table was covered over which would have been handy in case of rain (luckily not needed). Matches, a kettle, cups/bowls/plates and cutlery provided. The goats in the next field are so cute and friendly.
