About Hallett at Portland Bill Campsite
The site offers almost wild, back to basics camping and touring on the Portland Peninsula in Dorset. Ideal for tents and tourers of all sizes, drive up to your pitch on a green field with spectacular sea views, and prepare to embrace island life. Most things are within walking distance here. Take a 25 minute stroll along the clifftops of the South West Coast Path, and you'll reach the sheltered pebbly beach at Church Ope Cove. It's a perfect spot for paddleboarding and kayaking, so make sure to bring your gear! If you're carrying heavy equipment, no worries - it's just a quick five minute drive away. You can also head south/southwest past the lighthouse and discover Pulpit Rock, a man-made stack that looks like a book leaning against a lectern. Not only is it a breathtaking sight, but it's also an ideal spot to catch some truly incredible sunsets. On site, campers are welcome to bring their furry friends along as long as they are kept on leads. And what's a camping trip without a campfire or barbecue? Guests are welcome to start their own fires and cook up a storm on the grill.
Open for weekends between 14th July and 30th August.
Facilities include portable toilets. Please note, this is an almost wild site, and there are no showers.
Shops and restaurants are around a five minute drive away in Weston or Easton. There is a pub called The Pulpit's Inn, just a five minute walk away.

A great pop up site with fantastic views. The basics are there, water, refuse collection and a couple of portaloos. Easy access to the coast road for a lovely walk to the Bill and a couple of swimming locations.
