About Rosewall Camping
Experience the wonderful Dorset countryside in a 13 acre camping field. Don't miss the views, gazing out across lovely Weymouth Bay and Dorset's famous rolling hills. Dorchester is just a 15 minute drive from the site too, with plenty to explore. All of the pitches are on grass, ideal for tents or motorhomes/campervans, with plenty of space between to ensure everyone can relax and unwind. This is a family run space, nestled into a sweet country hamlet, and yet just a handy five miles from Weymouth and its amenities. Only a 15 minute walk from a pub and the beach, you can also enjoy days out without even getting in the car. Next door to the site, you will also find Wally's Lake and Meadow Lake, great for any keen fishermen. Rosewall Equestrian can also offer riding lessons for first timers to seasoned pros, so there is plenty to keep everyone busy! The site is dog friendly, so bring your canine companion along, the South West Coast Path also runs past the site and is a great route to stroll along. Don't forget to pack your marshmallows as the site allows raised fire pits. BBQs are also welcome as long as they are raised from the ground. Disposable BBQs are not permitted.

Things to do on site and in the Weymouth area
Thanks to an excellent riding school next to the site, you can take a ride in Dorset's unbeatable scenery, with plenty of lessons and walkouts on offer, ideal for finding your feet and having a go.
If you're keen to keep both feet on the ground instead, your chances of catching a whopper here are excellent. In Wally's Lake you'll find top roach, carp and bream, while Meadow Lake is a fantastic challenge for experienced anglers.
Step outside of your door and you'll find yourself in Hardy's countryside, where you can bring to life the settings of his books. Dorchester (15 minutes) flies straight off his pages and you can even visit the author's birthplace, a sweet cottage in Higher Bockhampton, set within woodland.
It's enough to make anyone want to put their best foot forward and get exploring or his home at Max Gate in Dorchester.
In the mood for a stunning coastline? Take in stunning Corfe Castle (30 minutes) or get a taste of the real seaside (and its fabulous beaches) at Weymouth (10 minutes) and Bournemouth (1 hour).
