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.

About the site

There are quite a number of them now - with some award winners amongst them. Longthorns Farm has a long history of farming and camping and has more recently also been hired for the private use of weddings and events, fabulous for a Wedding Weekender with The Parlour and marquee and all Longthorns has to offer As well as camping and touring pitches (with optional electric), the site also offers a range of glamping accommodation, from TippeCo tipis to shepherd's huts and eco-pods. Visitors enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the site, along with the glamping aspect.

We enjoyed our stay at Longthorns in a shepherds hut. The site manager was personable, friendly and helpful. A little TLC is needed on the eco toilets, otherwise, all was fine.
Great site

A great place and the location was in a lovely environment. I couldn't get the showering facilities warm and the toilet block was freezing including taps. I ended up using my own shower, but not everyone has that luxury. I would stay there again as the positives out number the negatives, thanks for a wonderful experience.
Quiet, calm, lots of cute animals

We arrived a bit early and after calling the number given, were told to pick whichever pitch we liked (off season so mostly empty, very nice) which was lovely. Big facilities with outdoor and indoor sinks for washing dishes as well as being hygienic. There are quite a lot of animals close to the pitch area which was wonderful for me to be able to watch them, but if anyone has allergies, I'd be cautious. Pitches were good, even after some rain, and all the pitches had electricity. Good bins area, a bit far from any public transport as a whole, but for most people probably not an issue, very quiet and idyllic.
