There's also three unfurnished bell tents and a furnished bell tent sleeping two for that extra comfort. Home to alpacas and goats, guests can get up close and personal with these furry friends, enjoying feeding sessions and alpaca meet-and-greets!

About Flowerdew Farm
With its farm setting, eco-friendly facilities, and animal encounters, this site is a wonderful destination for a memorable off-grid camping experience. It's set in an ideal location, just a ten minute drive from Bridport and five minute drive from Jurassic Coast beaches. Dorchester is also just a 20 minute drive away. On the farm, guests can enjoy feeding sessions with the animals, alpaca meet-and-greets, and other animal-inspired activities. There are just ten non-electric grass pitches here, for tents and campervans. The camping fields are car-free zones, and wheelbarrows are available for guests to transport their gear to their pitch. If you're not wanting to put up a tent, you can stay in one for the cosy unfurnished bell tents, just bring your camping beds and equipment. The site also offers a charming 3m bell tent that sleeps two. On a raised deck, this beautifully furnished tent features a double bed complete with soft linen and indoor seating. Relax in the cosy outdoor seating area and take in the natural surroundings. Here the atmosphere is both basic and comfortable, with an eco-friendly twist. You'll notice that the site features many upcycled building materials that have been thoughtfully repurposed to minimise the impact on the environment. Guests are encouraged to take eco-friendly products to avoid putting anything toxic on the land. BBQs are allowed, but guests are asked to raise them off the ground and use the logs available for purchase onsite. For those who want to explore the area without using a car, the Jurassic Coaster is right on the doorstep within a 15 minute walk. This site is certified with the Wanderlust Camping Club.
