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.

Grass pitches are available April to October. Hardstanding pitches are available all year. Pitches from £25/night for 2 people.

Lovely stay

Single Axle Caravan - Serviced Hardstanding Pitches (Optional Electric)Oct 2025

Absolutely lovely site. Very peaceful and great for our four legged fur babies, has a lovely dog area attached to the site. Owners were very polite and friendly. The welcome was really nice and they walked us to our pitch for the caravan. This was very near the toilets, as requested, which was great. The facilities are kept very clean. There's a room for washing up and a game's room with a dartboard and pool table, plenty of books for those who love reading. The location is very nice, it's far enough away to chill, but everything you could need was within a short drive. Can't wait to go back. Being adult only was delightful.
