Early morning at brewery farm
Peaceful location.
Roomy hardstanding pitches

  • Quiet farm site surrounded by footpaths in the Dorset village of Ansty
  • Half an hour's drive from Weymouth, Poole and the Jurassic Coast
  • Farm shop on site; pub with food next door
They might not make beer at Brewery Farm, but this fab Dorset site serves up good times in grand surrounds, and there's a pub right next door for good measure… If you’re into history, there’s lots of it to be supped and savoured in the area; same goes for walks, beaches, boat rides… the whole lot of it easily accessible from a berth on this peaceful and friendly site. Facilities include a shop, selling the farm’s own produce; if you want to grill up an alfresco feast, go ahead – barbecues are permitted. The suitably ancient and rural inn over the road serves fresh locally sourced food as well, along with local ales to relax with at the end of a day of outings. Fancy exploring the area slowly? Ask the team to point you towards the network of country footpaths, through some of Dorset’s finest countryside.

What customers say

This little, chilled campsite has great country views & spotless ablutions. The farm shop's well-stocked, hosts are lekker and friendly. Proximity to a top pub is a big plus. Access roads can be a bit tight, but most folk loved it and want to come back.

Sharon G.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Beautiful site, plenty of room for awning. Clean well maintained. Facilities clean, great showers. Friendly owners. Wifi was added bonus. The inn over the road was great, for drinks and food. Handy local shop on site. Amazing walks, and places to visit near by.

Disliked Going home, nothing else to dislike.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Friendly, picturesque site, on part of a working farm.

Peter A.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked View from the pitch that we had is wonderful - views across Dorset countryside.
Brilliant walk guide available from the reception is well worth the £2 donation.
Very friendly and helpful owners.
Pub over the road is superb.
Shop is a proper village store, with Post Office, not just a camp shop.
Toilets and showers are modern and clean. Functional rather than luxurious, but this IS camping!

Disliked Nothing really.
No playground for kids (which is a bonus for us as ours are in their 30s), so any children have to make their own wholesome mischief.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Spacious quiet location with plenty of walks and nice pub across the road

Disliked Getting to it with a caravan in tow through the winding streets was a bit treacherous and no staff to be keen so very strange not to be checked in etc

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked This is a lovely smaller campsite with excellent facilities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and having the farm shop and pub so close by made it even better. We went for the weekend and didn't need to leave the site at all.

Disliked WiFi wasn't great in all locations but that didn't bother us.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou for your kind words. We are delighted that you made the most of everything on the doorstep and we hope to see you again soon.

Excellent small site set in beautiful countryside.

Local attractions

If beaches are your bag, you’ve hit the big time here as the Jurassic Coast is studded not just with fossils but also sandy coves and rocky inlets: Lulworth Cove is a 40-minute drive away, and if you fancy something wilder, Winspit beach is accessible only by a footpath from Worth Matravers (45 minutes). Another fine way to explore the coast is to make for Weymouth or Poole, both half an hour away, for a boat cruise. Both towns are crammed with further family-friendly attractions including funfairs and an aquarium in Weymouth, and slides and chutes and waterfalls at Poole’s Splashdown waterpark. Monkey World and the Tank Museum are also around half an hour away. For an easy way to see the chalk hills and valleys of inland Dorset, take a seat on the Swanage Railway (50 minutes) for steam rides between the coast and Corfe Castle (40 minutes by car). The castle is well worth clambering over; if anyone’s missing the water, make for the nearby Dorset Waterpark for floating inflatable obstacle courses in a wooded lakeland setting. For another day out with a difference, the graceful residents of Abbotsbury Swannery (45 minutes) were once kept by local monks for the purposes of scoffing at banquets. You can now visit the country's only nesting colony of mute swans and feed them, as well as get lost in the maze, hurtle about the adventure playground and roam the nearby subtropical gardens.
