About Dorset Nectar Cider Farm Orchard Campsite

Find peace and tranquillity in the countryside on this adult-only Cider Farm. For award-winning cider, orchards and beautiful views, this site is the place for you. Surrounded by 3,000 organic apples and plenty of space, the extra-long and wide grass pitches are suitable for tents only. Shared facilities, including hot showers, are nearby, cleaned regularly. Take a Tour and Tasting of the Cider farm (booking in advance) or try the award-winning ciders at the onsite taproom and microbrewery. Spend your days wandering through the fields or exploring by the River Brit nearby. The world-renowned beaches of the Jurassic Coast, including West Bay Beach, are only a 10-minute drive away too! Rest and relax in the cider garden, complete with a large fire pit and wood-fired pizza oven that you can use as evening falls. Also, on select Saturdays over the season, there will be live bands and the site's famous Cider Saturdays where Oliver's Kitchen and Smokery cooks up a storm for everyone to enjoy with a cider or cold local beer from the Tasting Room. Choose from delicious paellas or apple smoked chicken. The site also hosts the annual World Nettle Eating Contest with hot food available and two fantastic bands for you to enjoy. Forgot the essentials? There's a small farm shop and raised fire pits available at each pitch, and wood is available to buy on site. Sorry, no dogs.

The season runs from April 1st just before the apple blossom begins until the 14th of September just before the site begins the cider apple harvest in earnest.

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

Went here for 2 nights with my partner and it was perfect. The service and staff members were more than welcoming and helpful. All the facilities were clean and had been done regularly. There was amazing live music on the Saturday night with great food. The homemade cider is delicious and fresh, definitely recommend trying. Lastly, it was relaxing and peaceful with everyone staying there, being very respectful with noise and rubbish. 10/10 - Definitely recommend going.

Wonderful stay

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

A lovely family run campsite perfectly situated just outside of Bridport and West Bay. You can get to the beach in 10/15 minutes, which is ideal. The campsite had a pretty communal garden area and hosted a food and live music evening. You got a whole row in the orchard to yourself to camp in and fire pits and logs were available too. It was quiet as it was adults only and there was plenty of space for everyone. We did an orchard tour, which was delightful, and you got to taste lots of different ciders! I would highly recommend this campsite, we will be back again next year 😄
