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.

A note from the site themselves...

Portesham Dairy Farm has been family-run right from the start. Beginning with 28-day camping in the 60s we moved to a licensed site in 1983! As you can imagine we have developed so much over the years and we take pride in putting our personal touch into presenting our peaceful part of the countryside.

Based along the Jurassic Coast we feel so lucky to welcome those from all over and show off what Dorset has to offer. From long beaches with seaside towns and quirky villages to the stunning views on endless country walks, we really hope there is something for everyone.

Our top priority is to provide the perfect holiday, whether that be full-fun packed or a complete unwind and relax. We're always making improvements to ensure the highest level of service and facilities.

When our customers are happy, we're happy!

Single Axle Caravan - Super Hardstanding Pitches (Medium)Sep 2024

We had an unplanned stay at Portesham after our booked campsite flooded. They could not have been more accommodating at Portesham, enabling us to pitch before the official arrival time. The site is lovely; well maintained and excellent clean facilities. We loved the dog exercise field, with added rabbits to chase for Ruby! It's a great location for exploring Dorset, with a pub and farm shop within a five minute walk too!

FAQ

Check-in is between 1pm-9pm and you must vacate your pitch by 11am on day of departure.

Yes, up to three well behaved dogs are welcome per pitch, provided they are kept on a lead whilst onsite and are not a breed/crossbreed listed under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991. A footpath goes directly from the site to acres of countryside for your pooch to explore, plus there is a dog groomer onsite offering baths, trims and other luxuries for your four legged friend. Caravan sitters are also available to hire for dogs whilst you're spending the day exploring the surrounding area.

Yes, a layout of the site is located here.

Both the Jurassic Coast and the charming seaside town of Weymouth can be reached in just 15 minutes by car, with a Blue Flag award winning beach and historic harbour. Spend the day hunting for fossils along the Jurassic Coast or take a stroll to the National Trust owned Hardy Monument for incredible views over Dorset. You're also nearby: *Abbotsbury (1.9 miles) - with stunning scenery atop Abbotsbury Castle ruins and access to Chesil beach, the Hardy Way and Jurassic Coast Path. *Portland (11.3 miles) - take in dramatic coastal views from Pulpit's Rock and wander the South West Coast Path loop around the island. *Monkey World (20.4 miles) - home to more than 250 primates, adventure playground, cafe and more.


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.
