About Rosewall Camping
Experience the wonderful Dorset countryside in a 13 acre camping field. Don't miss the views, gazing out across lovely Weymouth Bay and Dorset's famous rolling hills. Dorchester is just a 15 minute drive from the site too, with plenty to explore. All of the 50 pitches are on grass, ideal for tents or motorhomes/campervans. Each pitch welcomes up to ten guests, with plenty of space between to ensure everyone can relax and unwind. This is a family run space, nestled into a sweet country hamlet, and yet just a handy five miles from Weymouth and its amenities. Only a 15 minute walk from a pub and the beach, you can also enjoy days out without even getting in the car. Next door to the site, you will also find Wally's Lake and Meadow Lake, great for any keen fishermen. Rosewall Equestrian can also offer riding lessons for first timers to seasoned pros, so there is plenty to keep everyone busy! The site is also dog friendly, with up to two allowed per pitch. The South West Coast Path also runs past the site and is a great route to stroll along. Don't forget to pack your marshmallows as the site allows raised fire pits. BBQs are also welcome as long as they are raised from the ground.
Rosewall Camping is open from 13/04 to 30/09.
Site facilities include two modern toilet blocks, both with showers, hairdryer points, shaver points and washing-up facilities. In the lower block, you'll also find disabled facilities and a laundry room. A seasonal, well stocked shop is available on site which sells basic provisions as well as camping essentials, and there are two fishing lakes onsite for guest usage. The site also offers horse riding lessons.
For something to eat, The Smuggler's Inn Pub is a 15 minute walk away. There is also a Spar a five minute drive away.

Very peaceful and spacious. Nice walk to the beach and countryside, a great walk to Weymouth. Facilities are clean and would recommend. The Smugglers Inn is close by and definitely worth a visit.
Wonderful campsite

This was our first time at Rosewall but it definitely won't be our last. We have been searching for a campsite in Dorset where we can base ourselves during our breaks away. The others were nice but this place is stunning. The hills, the sea, the super friendly staff, great pitches and the shower blocks being spotless made for a truly lovely stay. We all agreed that we had finally found "the one".
Rosewall has it all :-)

One of the best value campsites I have ever stayed in, close to beautiful Smugglers Inn and Coastal walk.

Things to do on site and in the Weymouth area
Thanks to an excellent riding school next to the site, you can take a ride in Dorset's unbeatable scenery, with plenty of lessons and walkouts on offer, ideal for finding your feet and having a go.
If you're keen to keep both feet on the ground instead, your chances of catching a whopper here are excellent. In Wally's Lake you'll find top roach, carp and bream, while Meadow Lake is a fantastic challenge for experienced anglers.
Step outside of your door and you'll find yourself in Hardy's countryside, where you can bring to life the settings of his books. Dorchester (20 minutes) flies straight off his pages and you can even visit the author's birthplace, a sweet cottage in Higher Bockhampton, set within woodland. It's enough to make anyone want to put their best foot forward and get exploring or his home at Max Gate in Dorchester.
In the mood for a stunning coastline? Take in stunning Corfe Castle (30 minutes) or get a taste of the real seaside (and its fabulous beaches) at Weymouth (15 minutes) and Bournemouth (1 hour). Watching the sunset near the arch of Durdle Door (20 minutes) or Lulworth Cove (20 minutes) is the ultimate bucket list moment.
Other nearby attractions include:
- Sea Life Centre Weymouth (10 minutes)
- Xtreme Falconry at Dorset Falconry Park (15 minutes)
- Monkey World - Ape Rescue Centre (20 minutes)
- The Tank Museum (20 minutes)
- Nothe Fort (25 minutes)
