Longthorns Farm
4.81 /5
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 Longthorns Farm
There are 47 acres at Longthorns Farm, used to produce hay and haylage. As well as being a lovely camping spot, the farm is becoming increasingly well known for its alpacas too. 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.
The site is open from March to December.
Excellent facilities include well maintained showers and toilets (including an accessibility room), pot wash, fridge and freezer. There is also a shop, The Parlour with pop-up bar and offering takeaways.
The aim here is to recycle and reuse wherever possible, and you'll see evidence of that around the site, with due respect to nature.

Lovely campsite and friendly team. Good facilities. Autumn break so it was quiet and therefore easy to access all facilities in a timely manner. Easy access to all major walking/sightseeing spots such as Durdledoor/Lulworth Cove and other less well known areas. Lots of eateries and little villages around. Seamless booking arrangements. Sweet alpacas on site and adjacent to Monkey World if you wish to take a trip. Cons: lots of sound from the firing ranges which in itself is fine but if you have a nervous dog I would think again. We enjoyed our trip. Thanks
Great place!

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.
