About Jurassic Camp
Situated on a rural farm, this tranquil site is far from the hustle and bustle, away from main roads, yet within easy reach to Dorset's stunning coastline, walks along the South West Coast Path, as well as family fun at Monkey World. The team on the farm here provide a warm welcome to campers, with a range of grass pitches catering to tents and trailer tents. There are also pitches designed to suit groups. Whilst on the farm you're sure to meet a variety of the animals onsite including Apollo the alpaca, sheep and chickens. Dogs are welcome here and must be kept on a lead. There are specific areas for large groups where noise is permitted up to a certain time, then you are asked to lower the volume to only be heard within your group. There is also a family camping for family groups especially those with children. Or for some peace, there is a quiet camping area, this does not mean it will be silent as there are other campers in adjacent fields. The site aims to not have noise coming from within this area, so while there may be noise on site, it shouldn't be right next to you.
Jurassic Camp is open for the first two weeks of July and then from 17th July to 8th September.
