About The Homestead Campsite
Based in West Parley village, The Homestead is a haven for wildlife and sits in prime position for accessing great Dorset countryside. It's within a short walk of local pubs and a handy drive from the rides at Adventure Wonderland, whizzing round the track at South Coast Karting or the Dudsbury and Ferndown Golf Clubs. Pitches are set within six acres of flat camping grounds and two acres of charming woodland, where you can catch up with friends and family away from the distractions of modern life. All grass pitches offer 16-Amp electric and there is a hardstanding parking area in the centre of the campsite to suit caravans and motorhomes, perfect for the winter. Rallies are also very welcome with a total of three acres set aside to offer plenty of space.
