What customers say
Pear Tree Farm is a peaceful, dog-friendly campsite praised for its stunning countryside views and tranquil atmosphere. Visitors consistently highlight the friendly and helpful owner, Gary, and the site's excellent security. Pitches are generally well-sized with good access to water and electricity. While the site is noted for its cleanliness and good value, some reviewers mention a limited number of toilet and shower facilities when busy, and one comment notes difficulty pegging tents due to rocky ground. The steep access road is also mentioned.

Liked It’s a lovely site, all I would suggest is expand the facilities, one toilet & shower meant you had to be patient ……… not one of my strong points …… 😉

Liked Lovely quiet dog friendly campsite, very good value for money. Owner was extremely friendly and welcoming.
Disliked When the campsite got busier at the weekend having only one toilet and shower was not ideal for the number of people onsite.

Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked The views of rolling hills and grazing sheep were restful and picturesque: just what is needed to escape the busy routine of everyday life.
The site was peaceful. Loo/shower/washing-up area: all clean and spacious.
The owner, Gary, visits regularly and is most helpful with advice/information, whatever is required. We found him to be easily contactable, as well as friendly. We had a minor issue with our motorhome: he and his co-helper took care of it.
We would highly recommend Pear Tree farm and look forward to returning there.
Beaminster town is only a 6 to 10 minutes drive away and worth spending a few hours visiting: beautiful church, excellent bookstore, a few nice shops, river Brit nearby.
Yarn Barton car park is close to the center of town. It accommodates commercial vehicles and motorhomes.
Disliked Having to get back to ordinary, hard-work routine!

Steep path onto the site.
Electric optional grass and gravel tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked View
Disliked This camp site was better for camper vans.
Pegging down a tent was very difficult extremely rocky ground several pegs were bent.
1 toilet and 1 shower to be shared between 10 pitches on our stay there were 12 adults!
The shower used a £1.00 coin. There were no paper towels in the 1 toilet.
The signage to the site was very small and easily missed.

Good site would stay again out of season
