Thorncombe Farm is a small, family-run camping and glamping site, offering a quiet place to pitch your tent or tourer in beautiful Hardy Country in Dorset. Bell tents are available too if you prefer those home comforts. Close to Dorchester and only a 10-mile hop from the Jurassic Coast, it's a great base for exploring Dorset's many attractions. Campfires are encouraged as it's the perfect place to cook the farm's fresh food, and dogs are welcome.

About the site
Camping here comes with a friendly welcome and great views over a Dorset valley - not to be missed. Pitches are all grass, with larger pitches available. Guests here enjoy the peace, with hushed voices at night and a relaxing feel - no loud music is allowed to disturb the countryside. An evening around the campfire or BBQ (raised off the ground) is the perfect end to your day. Most pitches are without electric, allowing guests to get fully back to nature, but limited electric hook-ups may be available. If you'd rather stay hassle free, the farm has furnished bell tents which include electric and a mini fridge for all your tasty bits and bobs. You can keep the car light, because deluxe beds are included for four, with the option to sleep two more for a small fee. Completing the homely feel is an undercover table and seating beside your tent, along with your campfire, BBQ and double ring gas stove all your own. Please do bring bedding to keep you toasty at night, however. A maximum of two dogs are welcome to join you for camping or touring, but must be kept on the lead at all times and not left unattended. Sorry, for health and hygiene reasons pets cannot be accepted in the bell tents - under any circumstances. Groups welcome by prior arrangement only - a designated area is available for groups to pitch together, which must be requested in advance.

A great little campsite, near to Dorchester. Friendly and helpful owner. The showers and loos were clean. The pitches were large and we were not told to park a certain way. You could choose the orientation of your van, awning/tent, which I much prefer.
Excellent!

We had a lovely stay here. The tent was nice and big with comfy beds and a fridge! Ness is very friendly and helpful. We can also recommend the nearby Sun Inn for food.
