Longthorns Farm

Longthorns Farm offers the perfect place for camping or glamping in the heart of Dorset and close to the famous Jurassic Coast. Spacious pitches offer a relaxed atmosphere with campfires, star gazing and much needed quiet time - with the odd tank rumbling by or morning call from the gibbons next door at Monkey World. The site is on a small working alpaca and cattle farm and has plenty of woodland walks.

About Longthorns Farm

There are 47 acres at Longthorns Farm, used to produce hay and haylage. As well as being a lovely camping spot, the farm is becoming increasingly well known for its alpacas too. There are quite a number of them now - with some award winners amongst them. Longthorns Farm has a long history of farming and camping and has more recently also been hired for the private use of weddings and events, fabulous for a Wedding Weekender with The Parlour and marquee and all Longthorns has to offer As well as camping and touring pitches (with optional electric), the site also offers a range of glamping accommodation, from TippeCo tipis to shepherd's huts and eco-pods. Visitors enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the site, along with the glamping aspect.

The site is open from March to December.

Small Tent - Electric Grass PitchesNov 2024

Nice site and location. Sometimes a little bit noisy overnight, due to the nearby army base. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Lovely location, clean and tidy

Shepherd's Hut - Shepherd's Hut (Pet Friendly)Nov 2024

A lovely peaceful location, with the woods set right behind us. It was lovely to open the door in the morning to a lovely spacious field with a nice view. We had a campfire in the evening times and a log burner which heat the hut within 10 minutes of burning. Remember to take duvets as we forgot! There were four of us, we had a sheet on the double bed, but no sheets for the two singles, and the double bed mattress and pillows were uncomfortable and the single beds were very uncomfortable. So much so, that we did not sleep well. I recommend this hut to 2 people or maybe 3. Also, there are only 2 USB ports in the hut, which stop charging by around 6 ish in the morning, along with the lights. The place overall is clean and tidy and staff were friendly. We had a great time regardless of the beds, but I would not say this hut is a luxury.

Good little site and friendly

Motorhome - Electric Grass PitchesNov 2024

Lovely campsite and friendly team. Good facilities. Autumn break so it was quiet and therefore easy to access all facilities in a timely manner. Easy access to all major walking/sightseeing spots such as Durdle door, Lulworth Cove and other less well known areas. Lots of eateries and little villages around. Seamless booking arrangements. Sweet alpacas on site and adjacent to Monkey World if you wish to take a trip. Cons: lots of sound from the firing ranges which in itself is fine, but if you have a nervous dog, I would think again. We enjoyed our trip. Thanks.
