About the site
Holyrood is the closest campsite to Shaftesbury and picture-perfect Gold Hill. There is a panoramic view from every position on site and you're within walking distance of the town. Stourhead and Longleat Safari Park are 20-25 mins away, or it's 40 minutes to Sandbanks and from there on to the Jurassic Coast. Camping is on a secluded working farm which has resident sheep, alpacas, cattle and pigs. The farm is unspoilt and is full of wildlife. All pitches are grassed and non electric, offering plenty of space to relax and spread out. Campfires are allowed, along with BBQs, to keep the evenings merry.

Great site on the edge of Shaftesbury, walkable into town but definitely in the countryside with great views. Nice flat pitches, decent toilets. Fire pits and logs available for hire.
Lovely stay

The site is in a wonderful spot with amazing views over Dorset, easy to walk into town with a pub 10 minutes away. The facilities are basic but clean and well maintained. We would definitely stay there again.
