About Galton Campsite
Galton is a relaxed family run park set on an organic farm at the gateway to the Purbeck Heritage coast area. All around you is the beauty of rural Dorset, but the urban haven of Weymouth is also within easy reach with everything you could need. Dogs are welcome to join you in your stay at the coast. Set in a spacious 20 acre field, this is a back-to-nature site for tents, campervans with tents, rooftents and trailer tents only, surrounded by mostly grass pasture either grazed by cows and their calves or cut for hay and silage to feed the livestock in winter. Guests are welcome to choose their own pitch upon arrival so that they can enjoy either privacy or stay close to friends and family.
Galton Campsite is open from 24/05 to 01/06.
Facilities include toilets, showers, a washing up area and freezer on site. There is a garden centre and farm shop very close by.
To help with social distancing and hygiene, the site has increased the number of toilets and washing facilities. Hand sanitisers are available to use before entering the facilities.

First time here but will definitely be returning, it suited our needs perfectly. Spent 2 nights with my son and grandkids had some great father son bonding time. I like the fact you can have fires and BBQ's. There was plenty of room to run around etc. as well. It was nice that Catrin comes and greets you personally at sometime during your stay, I think that's a welcoming and personal touch that is good. Looking forward to returning again sometime soon.
Perfect!

The location is perfect with a lovely small farm shop and garage close by. The other campers were respectful and there was plenty of space to keep a good distance between pitches. The facilities were just what you need for a weekend camping with plenty of toilets and showers. Couldn't have found a better campsite and can't think of a single bad thing to say about the site. Thank you for having us and hope to be back!
