About Portesham Dairy Farm Campsite
Just a short drive from the Jurassic coast, the site borders the rural village of Portesham, and offers walks across rolling Dorset close at hand. Only a short drive to Weymouth and Dorchester. The campground has a wonderful family-run atmosphere and is ideal for quiet travellers or small groups. A small playground is placed conveniently close to a number of pitches, allowing parents to easily keep an eye on children while the little ones play. Pitches are available in four main types - standard (non electric, drinking water is available at shared points nearby), semi serviced (with 16-Amp electric), fully serviced (with 16-Amp electric, drainage and a drinking water tap) and super pitches (with electric, drainage, drinking water tap and TV aerial) available on both grass and hardstanding (primary gravel) and in a variety of sizes. Friendly dogs are welcome at Portesham Dairy Farm, why not book your dog in for a pamper with Shannon the dog groomer whilst you are here, where everything from bubble baths to full grooming services is available for purchase. Caravan storage also available so why not let the team tow your caravan on and off the pitch? Ideal for a late arrival! Visitors are in easy walking distance of the charming village of Portesham where the Kings Arms serves up award-winning local dishes and Duck's Farm Shop tempts visitors with deli and café treats.
Grass pitches are available from March to October, while hardstanding pitches are available all year round.

Things to do on site and in the Weymouth area
Being ideally located on the Jurassic Coast, visitors are guaranteed to enjoy walks around the area, particularly the Hardy Monument, a National Trust landmark offering spectacular views of Dorset.
Don't miss Abbotsbury in West Dorset, which offers a great day out, including a visit to the swannery and perhaps a leisurely stroll around St Catherine's Chapel, a 14th century retreat that is free to enter.
For a taste of the seaside, and an activity kids will love, make the short journey to Weymouth to explore the beach, collect fossils, enjoy the fairground rides or a visit to The Sealife Centre and Sand World. Monkey World in Wareham is a favourite with families, even on overcast days, offering a chance to get up close with rescued primates through both indoor and outdoor activities.
