  • Peaceful adults-only and dog-friendly site with complimentary firepits
  • A 15-minute walk to a cider farm; 15 minutes' drive to beaches
  • Little on-site shop with fresh coffee and bacon sandwiches
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. From Pineapple Farm Holidays, it's easy to get stuck right into beaches with fossils and stunning views, including West Bay and Eype beach, both within a 15-minute drive. For any cravings, there is a country pub is under one and a half miles away (a 25-minute walk), dishing up fresh food. If you're still thirsty, the cider farm and vineyard (on the route back to the site) should have something for you. You can also drive five minutes south to 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.

What customers say

Highly recommended, peaceful, adult-only site. Beautiful rural location, great for Jurassic Coast. Praised for spotless facilities, friendly staff, spacious pitches. On-site shop & dog run popular. Narrow lanes to access. Minor points: occasional Wi-Fi issues, more showers needed.

Honeysuckle powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked A fantastic campsite with everything you need for an amazing camping experience. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful and the showers and toilets are impeccably clean.

Disliked The communal area could be closer to the campsite itself, as Wi-Fi is only available in the communal area.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your kind review. We're really glad you enjoyed your stay.
Whilst we can't help the location of the shop in relation to the campsite we do have plans afoot for new seating areas and an improved wifi network for next year so hopefully this will go some way to meeting your suggestions.
We do hope you will come again.

Loved he site and all it had to offer. Really nice staff.

Karen R.

Clover powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked A fantastic place, has everything you need for a quiet relaxing break. Love The Orchard for the dogs, lovely having electric and water on the pitch, large area for each pitch. Showers and toilets cleaned rwgularly. Superb set up.

Disliked Would be nice to have a covered area where the seating is in case of inclement weather.
But nothing like law needed.

Jenny h.

Honeysuckle powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Brilliant location for a couple of days of doing nothing.
The whole site was clean, tidy, and peaceful.
Staff were so friendly.
Lovely little closed in orchard to let the dog have a run and a play with fallen apples.

Disliked Only downside for us, was how close the pitches were, but this won't stop us from returning.

From the manager: We are really glad that you and Woody enjoyed your stay at Pineapple.

DEBORAH W.

Clover powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked What an amazing place to stay. Fantastic friendly welcome. Facilities were immaculate. Close to many places to visit. Large pitches. The owners are so very helpful & understanding. We weren't happy in pitch 3 due to the neighbouring campers, so we enquired if we could move & without any problems we were moved to another private pitch, which was brilliant. We enjoyed our stay so much we booked an extra night. We will definitely be back to stay.

Disliked Absolutely nothing.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your kind review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and will come back again. Returning guests are a great compliment.
We do try our best to get each guest on a pitch that suits them so it's great to hear you found the ideal spot!

Friendly helpful staff, great breakfast on site.

Rosalind D.

Foxglove powered grass campsite

Liked Location

Disliked Lack of showers and lavatory, could benefit ftom additional facilities including separate areas for hair drying etc.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are very fortunate with our location and do enjoy sharing it with our guests.
We have 4 showers and a total of 7 toilets and rarely have a queue for use of these. Thank you for your suggestions of a separate hair-drying area, we will certainly consider that in our thoughts for improvements for coming seasons.

Very quiet, adult-only site with great facilities

Selina D.

Honeysuckle powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked We really enjoyed our trip on this site, and not juat because of the lack of children. Our tent pitch was a great size and with power and water there without any traipsing needed. The wash up, freezer, shower and toilet block were clean and comfortable (we recommend the cubicles without the shower curtains and with the squeedgee). The site is in a really lively and quiet part of Dorset, and the tiny country lanes can be fun when not daunting. I would definitely not recommend trying to walk on these lanes to a local pub or eatery due to safety, either drive or book a local taxi ahead of time. The site office has taxi numbers and we're very helpful.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review - we are really pleased you enjoyed your trip.
Most of the local taxi firms know Pineapple well now and are more than willing to take guests in to town or out to the more remote country pubs.

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.
