About the site

This is a warm, welcoming and adult-only site (16+) set close to the village of Lytchett Matravers. A chance to relax amongst nature and wildlife with views from all pitches over the surrounding countryside. There are three areas on the site with grass pitches, fully serviced hardstanding and a selection of seasonal pitches. All pitches are equipped with optional 10 amp electric and suit units up to eight metres long. The grass pitches are ideal for tents, campervans and caravans for a more traditional camping feel, whereas the fully serviced hardstanding pitches are complete with water and drainage, suitable for caravans and campervans. The farm boasts a convenient location, just off the A35, and a short drive takes you to many South Coast attractions and the Jurassic Coast. Perfect for days on the beach or exploring the local area. Your dog is bound to love it here too, with a dog walking field and woodland area to stretch their paws and many dog friendly attractions nearby. The site is home to an array of wildlife from hedgehogs and deer to badgers and foxes, so please do keep your dogs on leads.

Perfect get away, quiet, peaceful place 😌 Lovely helpful staff. Nice friendly small campsite. Facilities lovely clean and well looked after. A hidden little gem in Dorset. Placed quietly out of busy area, but still very close to all you need, if you want day trips out there's plenty to offer locally. Most definitely be booking again. Thank you.
