Lace up your hiking boots and pack up your beach gear, for Pineapple Farm Holidays is an adults-only site on a family-run farm within the countryside of the Dorset National Landscape. The site is set next to a small business park in some converted farm buildings 15 minutes' drive from Bridport and West Bay beach, so it is also in a prime location for days out by the coast. There's lots to look forward to at this place, whether it's the wildlife and picnic area (private and only for guests) or the apple orchard (accessible to all). Dogs are asked to be kept on the lead while around the pitches, but they're welcome to run off the lead in the orchard. All of the pitches have water, electricity and their very own firepit. Long before a British TV crime drama made the surrounding coast famous, those in the know came here for a slice of heaven: they were building hill forts with sea views two and a half thousand years ago, and aeons before that, the dinosaurs were down on the beach. Handily, from Pineapple Farm Holidays, it's easy to get stuck right into the beaches with fossils and stunning views; two, including West Bay and Eype beach, are within a 15-minute drive. For any cravings, there are two fine pubs a short walk or a five-minute drive away, dishing up fresh food; if you're still thirsty, the cider farm and vineyard should have something for you, and if you drive five minutes south you can stock up on local produce at the local farm shop. You need go no further, but you definitely will... Campfires are welcome in the complimentary firepits provided, and barbecues are welcome as long as they are raised from the ground. Pineapple Farm Holidays is part of Pineapple Estate, which includes the site, as well as a farm, a shop, a business park and self storage.

Liked: Really lovely place, good toilet and shower facilities. Friendly staff. We liked the Apple orchard that our dog could run around in. The shop was good and friendly. We visited Seatown and Charmouth beaches as very close by.

Disliked: Nothing.

Honeysuckle electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: This is an excellent small campsite with excellent clean facilities & provides amazing views of the surroundings countryside. There’s a good range of grass and gravel pitches with electric and water supply on the pitches. There’s a very handy small shop on the adjoining tidy & well managed business park that provides hot drinks and lovely bacon/sausage butties etc. A very good location for exploring the lovely coast of this part of Dorset.

Disliked: Nothing much to dislike here, but a modest sized club room or lounge adjacent to to the site shop & better on site WiFi would be the icing on the cake.

Clover electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Perfect location, clean facilities

Disliked: Getting too and out of the site, narrow roads, steep hill and description of location when you first arrive on site is a little confusing

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We are lucky to be in such a beautiful location and we're glad you enjoyed your stay here.

There is a small stretch of narrow lane on the approach but hopefully you found the locals very willing to let larger vehicles through.

Thank you for your recommendation.

Good price for a lovely adult-only campsite in a beautiful rural area.

Clover electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Generous pitch size of gravel and grass. Well maintained pitches, hedges, paths, buildings. Very clean toilet/shower/washing up block. Pretty apple orchard for your dogs to run off lead whilst you pick a wide variety of eating, cooking or cider apples. Friendly staff selling lovely pineapple cider and doggy ice cream! Limited lighting at night enabled us to star gaze with ease.

Disliked: That we didn’t stay for longer!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: A lovely review - thank you.
Perhaps another trip you will stay for longer and enjoy another cider with us.
It's great to hear you picked some apples, there are certainly plenty to go around!

Really lovely stay and Hannah went out of her way to help us. 5 stars

Clover electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: A very welcoming site. Hannah was fabulous. Pitch was level. Amenities were good. Shower a bit small for my husband but fine. Loved the fire pit and great little exercise area for the dogs. Would recommend.

Disliked: Didn’t quite understand that our pitch number was on the board when we arrived. But actually worked well.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you - We think Hannah is fabulous too!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and share your photographs. We're always thrilled when people would recommend us to friends and family. We look forward to seeing you again.

Foxglove electric grass pitch

Liked: Warm welcome, dog friendly with apple orchard for ofc lead time
Dogs on lead on site
Good facilities

Disliked: Narrow road entrance

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We're really glad you and your dog enjoyed your stay with us.
There is indeed a small section of narrow lane on the way down from the village but it's rare to meet anything coming the other way and people are very good at popping into the passing places for caravans.
We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

Local attractions

Head to West Bay (15 minutes' drive) for a first glimpse of the world-famous coastline; you'll get even better views on a boat cruise round the cliffs, or try kayaking it yourself. Abbotsbury (half an hour) is a popular spot to start walking the shingle airstrip-cum-sandbar that forms famous Chesil Beach. Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre (25 minutes) has fine examples of the fossils found nearby, including the Sea Dragon (an icthyosaur, in fact) unearthed in 2016. It's also the starting point for guided fossil hunts and rockpool rambles... you could come home with an icthyosaur of your own... West Bay lies on the mighty 680-mile South West Coast Path, but fret not, you don't have to walk it all. A trip round to the old lookout point of Thorncombe Beacon makes a pleasant ramble, especially as there's a pub at the end, or you could drive to Stonebarrow Hill (25 minutes) and explore the Golden Cap, a clifftop wilderness populated by peregrine falcons and butterflies. For diehard townies, there's a market selling something (vinyl or vintage, antiques and organics) in Bridport (15 minutes) almost daily and elegant Lyme Regis (half an hour) looks like a film set, especially when the fog rolls in.
