About Monarch's Way Campsite
Offering guests the chance to switch off and reconnect with nature and loved ones. This almost wild camping site is set amongst a sheltered orchard in a scenic Dorset village, away from the noise of crowds and busy towns. The site offers a total of 32 non electric grass pitches, each dotted amongst small fruit trees, ideal for shade in the summer. Each of the tent pitches measures a spacious 13m x 8m allowing up to six guests, whilst the touring pitch welcomes those in campervans, measuring 13m x 9m and allowing up to eight. For those after a glamping getaway, there is also a fully furnished bell tent on site for two adults to enjoy. A double bed, two singles, bedding, a BBQ, a fire pit and logs are all included in your stay. The rural location means the surrounding wildlife is also thriving, so keep an eye out for birdlife, bees and any animals looking to treat themselves to an apple or two. Be sure to also take the short five minute walk to the nearest pub, the perfect place to find out recommendations from the locals. Evenings can also be spent cooking up a BBQ or by the firepit, but ground fires are prohibited. Four-legged friends are also welcome to join you for your stay.
This site is open for the Easter and late May bank holidays, and the summer holidays.
Site facilities include a compost loo and water tap.
If heading off site, The Rose and Crown pub is a five minute walk away. For picking up the essentials, the Red Barn farm shop is a five minute drive with Yeovil ten minutes away with larger supermarkets.

This was a very relaxed experience in a pretty orchard and beautiful village, with a good local pub and local walks. Facilities are pretty rudimentary, as advertised, and no problem for us, but should it get more popular or busy, I think they'd need to improve. Nonetheless, a great stay for us.
Lovely, peaceful campsite in an orchard

Beautiful, peaceful campsite in the middle of an orchard. We stopped just for the night to break our journey down to Cornwall and it was a perfect location for that. Basic facilities but very clean. We didn't meet the owner but he was very helpful and friendly over messages.

For a back to basics site, this is perfect. Friendly reception, compost toilets and a lovely lovely setting. My only observation would be that the post code takes the driver to a church and the site is further on, but quite concealed. I loved it, kids loved it. Thank you
