Relaxed, simple pitches on a 450-acre Dorset family dairy farm
A 15-minute drive to Weymouth and half an hour to Monkey World
A mile from the Jurassic Coast, with footpaths to Abbotsbury and Fleet

With a location that’s just outside the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and only a mile from the Jurassic Coast, you can see why one might want to settle here for quite some time… and that’s just what the family that run Tatton Farm Campsite have done. It’s the fourth generation that now runs this working dairy farm, and the fifth is rapidly falling in love with farm life too. Plenty of guests have found themselves rather fond of the place too – in fact, there’s been a campsite successfully running here for more than 40 years. And what is it that’s kept the site so popular throughout that time? Well, perhaps the laidback atmosphere, the generous pitches and the fact that they’re surrounded by the farm’s fab 450 acres of land… It’s all quite simple here – pitches are all on grass without electric, and there are only very basic on-site toilet and shower facilities. With few distractions, that means guests can really relax – waking up to birdsong is the norm here, as is spotting the dairy herd as they pass by each morning and evening. The pitches back onto woodland, so there’s wildlife to look out for too, and you may catch a glimpse of the wild deer that live here. Of course, the farm’s location helps with making it an attractive place to stay – it’s about a 15-minute drive to Weymouth’s town centre and beach, and there are rural footpaths running from the farm to the likes of Abbotsbury, Fleet, Chesil Beach and the Hardy Monument (or to Weymouth, in fact).

Liked: The pitches are very spacious and flat. The facilities are plenty and very clean. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. It's a great relaxing space on a quiet farm. We were lucky enough to go meet their cows up close which was an amazing experience for our young daughter.

The site is close to Weymouth and a short drive to other attractions. It even has WiFi as a little bonus.

Local attractions

It’s really worth bringing your walking shoes along for a stay here, as you can set off on foot for lots of local attractions, take in some of the Jurassic Coast’s top scenery on a hike along the South West Coast Path, or do a circuit of the nearby Isle of Portland. If you’d rather head straight to the beach, get down to Weymouth’s family-friendly stretch to see if you can build sandcastles that will rival the displays at Sandworld sand sculpture park. Also in town are the Sea Life Centre, Pirate Adventure Mini Golf and a harbour for fishing or wildlife-spotting boat trips. For leisurely days out nearby, try a visit to Bennetts Water Gardens (10 minutes’ drive), Abbotsbury Swannery (15 minutes), RSPB Lodmoor (15 minutes) or Hardys Cottage (25 minutes) or set off to explore the ghost village of Tyneham (45 minutes). If you’re after something livelier for the kids, the likes of Monkey World (half an hour) and Dorset Adventure Park (40 minutes) are likely to hit the spot.
