About Dorset Nectar Cider Farm Orchard Campsite
Find peace and tranquillity in the countryside on this adult-only Cider Farm. For award-winning cider, orchards and beautiful views, this site is the place for you. Surrounded by 3,000 organic apples and plenty of space, the extra-long and wide grass pitches are suitable for tents only. Shared facilities, including hot showers, are nearby, cleaned regularly. Take a Tour and Tasting of the Cider farm (booking in advance) or try the award-winning ciders at the onsite taproom and microbrewery. Spend your days wandering through the fields or exploring by the River Brit nearby. The world-renowned beaches of the Jurassic Coast, including West Bay Beach, are only a 10-minute drive away too! Rest and relax in the cider garden, complete with a large fire pit and wood-fired pizza oven that you can use as evening falls. Also, on select Saturdays over the season, there will be live bands and the site's famous Cider Saturdays where Oliver's Kitchen and Smokery cooks up a storm for everyone to enjoy with a cider or cold local beer from the Tasting Room. Choose from delicious paellas or apple smoked chicken. The site also hosts the annual World Nettle Eating Contest with hot food available and two fantastic bands for you to enjoy. Forgot the essentials? There's a small farm shop and raised fire pits available at each pitch, and wood is available to buy on site. Sorry, no dogs.
The season runs from April 1st just before the apple blossom begins until the 14th of September just before the site begins the cider apple harvest in earnest.
Well-maintained facilities include four bathrooms and two showers, large washing up sinks and fridges and freezers to put your items in.
The farm shop has a range of award-winning craft ciders, apple juices, cider vinegar, apple syrup and ales, all made on site. You can also find local gelato, sausages and bacon, biscuits, preserves, chilli sauces, firewood, kindling and more. There is also a pub called the Hare and Hounds to fill up on excellent food within easy walking distance.

Stayed here looking for something slightly different. The campsite was exactly what we were looking for. The owners were very welcoming and knowledgeable, not to mention the delectable cider. The pitches themselves were nicely spaced out in the orchards to give plenty of privacy.
Absolutely perfect

Can't think of anything negative about the site. Cider is probably the best I've ever tasted. The owners are really welcoming and friendly. The cider garden is stunning with the sculptures in the flower beds. And the tasting room is a comfortable and perfect place to enjoy a drink and a game of cards, when/if the weather takes a turn for the wet.
