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

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 😄

The most relaxing, peaceful break we've had for awhile. The staff couldn't be more helpful. Camping in the orchard, what an experience. Facilities not too far away. Then you got the shop & bar, selling some great ciders. Cider tour & tasting was great fun & some history about the site & cider. Overall we had a great 3 days & will be back one day.

We had an excellent stay here. The staff were friendly and helpful, the facilities were clean and the pitches were very spacious. The live music, fire pits and proximity to the seaside were all bonuses! We will definitely be returning in the future!

In a quiet, relaxed area, this adult only site is incredibly peaceful. The only thing that will wake you up is the sound of bird song in the morning. Late at night it's incredibly silent. The camp set up is controlled really well. With only a few campers allowed each night with your own section of the orchard to stay in, there is a good level of privacy. The orchard also offers a bar so a relaxed drink in the evening was a perfect end of day wind down, with a selection of games available, should you wish. If you need Wi-Fi or to charge your phone, the sitting area is opened up early in the morning and is all day, should you wish.

Pleasant outdoor experience

A great place for a base camp. This enabled us to venture further afield during the day and return to relax (with a cider) around dinner time. Quiet, pleasant atmosphere in which to read and relax.

Camping in a Orchard - Fabulous!

We loved it here. Camping in the orchard was picturesque and quiet. Quiet time is from 11pm and all campers adhered to this which was amazing. The bar/shop is really pretty, with a great selection of ciders to try. The coffee was also great. They told us there are further toilet and shower facilities to be added which will add to its appeal. We only stayed for one night, but are planning to return for longer next year.

Fantastic!

A beautiful little campsite. You are offered a whole row between the trees to yourself. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't on our side and our tent didn't hold out, resulting in our bedding getting wet. More than helpful family who run the farm happily dried our bedding for us. Great base for exploring the area.

Nice campsite

Nice campsite, very pretty to be between the apple trees with spacious pitches. The cider shop is reasonably priced. They have a fire pit on each pitch and sell wood in the shop if you haven't brought any. The campsite also owns a dog and a cat who were friendly but tried to eat our dinner! Only downside to the campsite is that the Wi-Fi didn't work and there's no signal, and there wasn't hot water to wash up with. Slightly on the pricey side for a campsite but a good stay.

Site's response

Hi Grace, I'm pleased to say that we've just hooked up to Starlink, which should help tremendously with better Wi-Fi provision here in the countryside. I'm sorry there was no hot water in the washup area. The hot water heater must have blown out in the windy weather. I'd appreciate if you'd let us know next time as it's just a matter of switching back on again. Our well loved Cider Farm dog has been spoiled rotten by some very generous campers and she has learned some bad manners. My apologies if she was visiting your pitch. The cat is not ours, but is a visiting wild cat that has taken a great liking to to being pampered by campers and so visits all the campsites in the area. Please do come visit again. Best regards, Penny.

Idyllic and fun

Beautiful location in Dorset, camping in the orchard of the cider farm. Supplied bbqs and the toilets and showers were kept clean and tidy throughout the stay. Staff are very friendly and accommodating, there is even a bell to ring for more cider!!

Wonderful orchard camping

Our second visit to this little paradise of a place. Wonderful home made cider, live music and the beach a small drive away.

Excellent stay!

The most beautiful camping locations, extremely peaceful with fantastic facilities! Having freshly made ciders a short walk from your tent makes this place even better! I would 100% recommend and will be back, staying for even longer next time

Extremely cute

A great find! Very cute location with the innovative idea of camping between the lines of trees in the apple orchard! There was a love country band on in the evening which brought a great dynamic to the campsite.

Beautiful site

Such a beautiful site! Great atmosphere; the evening we arrived we enjoyed pizza and cider listening to the live band which were great. The site itself is beautiful, the camping spots are well spaced out between the apple tree rows so you don’t feel on top of your neighbours. Beautiful and quiet, and the owners were friendly and helpful. We will be back for sure!

Brilliant campsite

A great stay at Dorset Nectar was had! To stay amongst the trees was a great experience and provided a decent level of privacy and safety from the chilly May winds in Dorset! We will be back for sure!

Great place away from the crowds. Camping amongst the orchard trees is great. You don't feel cramped, as each pitch is a 'row' of the orchard.
