What a wonderful place to stay

What a wonderful place to stay. Great views, a peaceful site, and walking distance to Portland Lighthouse and a small beach to swim. There was a lovely pub down the road serving good food, so all good. There was a hut serving food and drink throughout the day, which provided meals and drinks. Showers were great. The toilets were basic but actually didn't smell. The best thing was literally sitting out at night, looking at the sky. No light pollution and the campsite was quiet. Be back soon, thank you so much!

Lovely

Simple facilities but everything you needed for a bit of semi-wild camping. The staff were friendly and the facilities were clean. There was lots of space and some great views.

An absolutely amazing find, having just camped around Bretagne, Sweet Hill Farm was as good as the best in France. The views and coastal walks were stunning. Staff were so friendly with a fantastic cafe/bar. I was sad to have arrived an evening too late for the live music. Shower facilities were fantastic for £1.00. Plenty of space for everyone overlooking the wonderful views. As a solo camper on this occasion, I felt safe and secure and everyone was friendly and considerate.

Great site!

Loved staying here for a couple of nights with my 10 year old daughter. We were blessed with good weather and the views were amazing. The location was great for a walk down to the lighthouse and explore. Facilities were great, although my girl was not a fan of the composting toilet! The shower block was good and pot wash facilities available. Fabulous to have Chelsie Equestrian Centre on site as well which made for a beautiful afternoons expedition.

Rustic peaceful site with great showers, views & walks

We came here as we wanted a remote site with a view. It's rustic but you can pitch where you like. Fire pits are provided and the compost toilets are fine. The showers are lovely and warm and look new. It's an easy walk to Portland Bill with some amazing views. Being so remote it's really quiet and one we'll come back to when next down this way. There is a well-stocked reception/shop/bar which serves breakfast, although we didn't use.

A lovely place to stay with great walks and spectacular views. Did not use facilities as had all my own. Wish there was somewhere to empty waste from toilet and grey water. All in all a lovely site with beautiful well kept horses too 😊

Lovely stay, stunning views

Excellent campsite. Highly recommended if visiting the Isle of Portland, or even as a base if branching out to the wider Jurassic coast. Lovely, welcoming staff and a gorgeous location overlooking Portland Bill lighthouse and with a coastal cliff walk within a minute made it stand out. Due to the location, it can get VERY windy so pack your best tent pegs! Also, due to this and the near-cliff top location, I wouldn't personally recommend this site for young children unless you could ensure constant eyes on them. If you're looking for a friendly, chilled-out site where you can socialise if you want or keep to yourself for some RandR this is perfect. The stunning sea views and nightly sunsets over the Jurassic coast didn't hurt either. Lots of people take a gentle coastal walk down to the lighthouse to take it all in at sunset. I didn't try the food, but it looked good and freshly-prepared. I unexpectedly had to leave early and was absolutely gutted. Will return for sure.

Loved it

Lovely location surrounded by water. The on-site café was great with excellent coffee and smoothies. Hot showers were clean and efficient.

Desperate to go back!

For all, this is a super basic site. The facilities were really impressive and clean. Also, the vibe of the place was so nice, I was travelling alone and this is the site where I felt safest across my trip. And an amazing location, not far from a bus stop but also right in the gorgeous Portland countryside (with views of Portland Bill!).

Perfect place even though I felt it was a little bit expensive

Perfect location, even if the price is quite high for a campsite without power sockets and natural toilet and an extra cost for warm showers. Nevertheless, I'll return in any case!

Great find!

Very close to nature place. The toilets are not for everyone, but they are okay. The showers - £1 for 3 minutes - are very good. There were a lot of insects trying to get into my tent.

Peaceful trip

We had a great stay at the campsite which is in an excellent location for exploring with lots within walking distance. It was very peaceful with stunning views of the lighthouses. The facilities are very basic (as described) but gave us the wild camping experience we were looking for.

Excellent

Amazing campsite, 'just' some fields but with lovely scenery, views and wildlife. Friendly atmosphere, staff and bacon & egg baps! Ace showers and toilets also. Thank you.

Nice place to stay

Lovely views, great location and the people who run it were helpful, laid back and friendly too. I thought it might be a bit exposed because of it’s close proximity to the coast but the hedges helped make it sheltered while still retaining the views. Great spot!

Fabulous view

Fantastic setting at this site with a great view of the sea and the lighthouses. The site is directly next to the coastal path as well so some great walks around Portland Bill right there. Everything else was exactly as described on the website.

Beautiful - just wish we had stayed longer

We loved our stay at Sweet Hill Farm - sadly we were only there for one night after a five hour drive arriving at gone 8pm, so we didn’t really get to enjoy the site as we would have liked! But upon waking and actually seeing the site and the VIEWS - wow. Beautiful site - simple, quiet, almost wild, exactly what we were after, with amazing walks around the peninsula on your doorstep. Could not have asked for more. A peaceful, stunning site and one we will be returning to - for longer next time!

Lush weekend

Definitely would recommend this place, the views are insane! Everyone was friendly, some beautiful horses around! Nice walk to The Lobster Pot where we had a banging breakfast, the lighthouse and The Pulpit Inn which serves Sunday roast!! Will defiantly go again!!

Lovely campsite

This place is so great! The location is amazing with a lovely trail down to Portland bills. Couldn't have asked for more for a wild camping site, with yoga available in the mornings and a cute tea and coffee communal area. Surrounded by fields of horses and a seaview! Would definitely recommend.

Great location

Great location and good value for money generally, though the showers a bit expensive. The cafe serves nice food.
