About Galton Campsite
Galton is a relaxed family run park set on an organic farm at the gateway to the Purbeck Heritage coast area. All around you is the beauty of rural Dorset, but the urban haven of Weymouth is also within easy reach with everything you could need. Dogs are welcome to join you in your stay at the coast. Set in a spacious 20 acre field, this is a back-to-nature site for tents and trailer tents only, surrounded by mostly grass pasture either grazed by cows and their calves or cut for hay and silage to feed the livestock in winter. Guests are welcome to choose their own pitch upon arrival so that they can enjoy either privacy or stay close to friends and family.
Galton Campsite is open for the late May bank holiday week and then from 22nd to 26th August.
Facilities include toilets, showers, a washing up area and freezer on site. There is a garden centre and farm shop very close by.
To help with social distancing and hygiene, the site has increased the number of toilets and washing facilities. Hand sanitisers are available to use before entering the facilities.
