Longthorns Farm offers the perfect place for camping or glamping in the heart of Dorset and close to the famous Jurassic Coast. Spacious pitches offer a relaxed atmosphere with campfires, star gazing and much needed quiet time - with the odd tank rumbling by or morning call from the gibbons next door at Monkey World. The site is on a small working alpaca and cattle farm and has plenty of woodland walks.

There are quite a number of them now - with some award winners amongst them.

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesOct 2024

Unforgettable camping experience for first timers. If its your first time, don't be afraid to enjoy outdoors camping. We loved the experience. This was our first time camping. The site was absolutely amazing. The owners made us feel welcome. They were very friendly and helpful. The campsite was amazing. Will certainly visit Longthorns Farm again. Monkey World was a stroll away.
