About Hincknowle Cider Apple Farm Camping
If you are searching for an almost-wild rural escape within easy reach of the Dorset coast, look no further. This charming site is nestled on a working farm where you can enjoy cider from award-winning cider makers, meet the friendly animals and explore the 190 acres of farmland. The site is also situated in the Dorset Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty so benefits from beautiful starry night skies and visiting wildlife. The wildlife is exceptionally varied with herds of deer, owls, birds of prey, otters and many rare birds. The site offers just nine pitches to ensure everyone can have some much needed peace and quiet. Each of the non electric grass pitches welcomes both tents and campervans, measuring a spacious 10m x 10m with up to six guests allowed per pitch. Guests can also enjoy access to the communal kitchen and barn, perfect for meeting other campers. A wood burner is on hand to keep you nice and cosy, with boardgames, table tennis and darts on hand to keep you entertained. BBQs are permitted, perfect for an evening in the open. Please note, these are at the owner's discretion and must be raised off the ground. Four-legged friends are welcome to join you for your stay, with up to one allowed per pitch. The site is surrounded by glorious walking routes so there is plenty of spots for them to stretch their legs.

A gorgeous little farm with orchards, just a few quiet pitches and great facilities. It rained the second night we were there so we hung out in the barn playing darts...it's a game-changer to have that communal space. Great for stargazing on a clear night and the loop walk around the farm is lovely.
A gem

Beautiful site accommodating 9 pitches in a huge undulating field with fabulous views. The generous pitches are well spaced, giving a sense of privacy. The loos and showers are spotless, and there is a well equipped, pristine kitchen in the barn. The barn is warm and dry and a great place to sit to eat or chat over a cup of tea. The hosts were super friendly and approachable and we felt would have been helpful if there had been any problems (there hadn't). The site feels like it is in the middle of nowhere, but there is a pub up the road and it's maybe a 10 min drive into Bridport and another 5 mins to beaches. This place really is a gem.
Absolute gem!

Set in a beautiful part of Dorset, this place was a real find. Freida was very helpful and gave us a warm welcome. Attention to detail with fresh flowers and fairy lights in the main barn. Will definitely return next spring.
