Longthorns Farm offers the perfect place for camping or glamping in the heart of Dorset and close to the famous Jurassic Coast. Spacious pitches offer a relaxed atmosphere with campfires, star gazing and much needed quiet time - with the odd tank rumbling by or morning call from the gibbons next door at Monkey World. The site is on a small working alpaca and cattle farm and has plenty of woodland walks.

A great place to stay for the weekend with close proximity to Monkey World and the Tank Museum. A lovely little working farm which the kids would enjoy. The owners were friendly and helpful, we would definitely stay again.

Really well-kept campsite with great facilities. We had our dog and were pleasantly surprised to find a secure dog field and a small woodland walk on site. Would recommend!

Stayed in a basic little pod. Clean, comfortable, lovely facilities, showers etc and easy booking. Only negative was we felt it needs a nice coffee / drinks service with maybe a few choices and basic breakfast items. They had pizzas to order but you have to order the previous day. 10 mins from Wareham, pet and family friendly. A small children's park would be a bonus but kids would love the alpacas on site. Highly recommended.

Great campsite. Ideally located a short drive from the coast, a short walk from Monkey World, around the corner from the tank museum but also with plenty of features on site including food, a bar, alpaca walks etc. Only minor consideration with the pods we stayed in is that they are basic and quite rustic. They were fine for us as long as you wrap up warm at night but that's the same for all types of camping, I assume. We will try and get back one day for sure.
Stunning little camping stay

This little piece of heaven and was just what me and my daughter needed! We stayed in the eco pod and has the best time! The owners are welcoming, friendly and hard working! All the staff are amazing and the llamas are just gorgeous, as well as Rocky the pony! We will be back! Thanks for an amazing weekend.

A clean and well-run campsite where the management were reliably on-hand. The alpacas add charm to the clean and tidy campsite; guests abided by the rules and were polite and respectful of each other. An army base is nearby, as is a road, so it's not without noise at times. Would still recommend.
Great glamping spot - alpacas were a bonus!

Very pleased with our 3 night weekday stay. Had the place almost to ourselves. Reception/Store was only open at the weekend while it's still quiet, but close enough to go to Wareham for provisions. Host super friendly and welcoming, just called when we needed to check in. Ship Inn was recommended for dinner the first night - close and hit the spot. Tipi tent was roomy with high ceilings. Needed to bring bedding but kitchen had everything we needed to BBQ supper. Highlight for our 4 year old was definitely petting the alpacas and the friendly pony. Even saw fox in the field. Very quiet, except for when the tanks and helicopters were training at the base nearby. Parachutes and a wave from the helicopter pilot was quite exciting. Great base to go fossil hunting at the beach one day and explore Corfe Castle the next. Highly recommend!

Great location, spacious pitches and pleasant staff. Lots of bins and recycling. The woodland walk is very nice - saw deer running around. Great for dog walking and a nice walk to Monkey World. Showers are roomy and water nice and hot. Loved the alpacas too. Toilet facilities a bit stretched over bank holiday weekend - I don't think cleaning regime could keep up with usage as they were quite dirty on the Monday morning. There were also no laundry facilities.

Fantastic time on a fab site. Things that were really great - onsite bar where you could borrow glasses, great shop with fresh croissants, alpacas, very clean facilities. The only minor thing was the hand soap in the loos was a little bit rubbish. I took a bottle in with me which was a bit of a pain. Only a tiny, tiny whinge and we will defo come again, but just a mention to let you know. But totally awesome otherwise x

Picked at random due location close to The Tank Museum - a superb site! Booking was seamless and the staff were helpful and accommodating. Facilities excellent and cleanliness was of a very high standard. We booked a grass pitch with EHU for a largish Motorhome with another pitch for two small tents - 5 people in total. I was initially concerned about the grass pitch given recent rainfall but site was very well drained and my 3.8 tonne vehicle had no access or egress problems. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and that's without mentioning the Alpacas which were lovely.
Perfect stay

A spacious campsite run by a very welcoming and friendly couple. A small onsite shop, evening food available and a bar area. What's not to like! Great for my young family (6yr old and 8yr old). Soft ground as well for some easy pegging!

This was our 2nd time staying here and we will definitely return again. The campsite is run by a lovely family who keep the site extremely clean. On site, there's a small shop, bar, woodland area, alpaca's and the added bonus of a large field to run your dog off their lead. Food can also be ordered for an evening meal. The campsite location is perfect if you like to explore and enjoy days out. There is so much to do all within minutes from the campsite. Monkey World, The Tank Museum, Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove & Castle, Kimmeridge, Corfe Castle and Swanage are just a few to name. We are happy to say we have had another fab stay here.
Everything you could wish for and a whole heap more!

Our family chose to stay at Longthorns and we really couldn't have wished for a better stay. The whole site was set out really well, with different areas for different campers. All of the areas are very spacious, with lots of room for your pitch plus a large area in the middle for people to play in. The owners were absolutely amazing and really made our stay. There really wasn't enough that they could do to make our stay a really special one. We were allocated the Alpaca Field, which was very close to the facilities, Alpacas and Rocky the Shetland pony! At Longthorns, there is an on-site shop, with items for those camping emergencies, local food (the venison burgers are sublime and local ice-creams delicious) and general food items, all at a very reasonable price. The toilets and showers were clean and there is also a great little 'washing up area' for campers to use. During peak periods; Longthorns have freshly cooked take-out food that you can book on the day, plus an on-site Parlour. You can also book Alpaca meet and greets and Alpaca walks! There is also a really nice and peaceful Woodland Walk and a large Dog field for your 4-legged friends to run around in. Monkey World is a safe and family-friendly 5 minute walk away, well worth a visit while you are based at Longthorns Farm. We also took a 15-20 minute drive to the coast to see the amazing Durdle Door. So much on the doorstep, and we could have stayed another week if we had more time off work.
