Campsite vacation rentals in Dorset

We booked last minute as a stop over from visiting family on the southcoast before heading back north and we're so pleased we did. Moonacre is a pretty wooded area and it was great to sit out on the deck and watch the birds flying around and do a spot of star gazing. The motorhome itself is well kitted out and the heating worked really well. Rachel was really helpful and self check-in/out was a breeze. We'd happily stay there again.

We had a lovely 5 day stay in the Kimmeridge bell tent with our 3 children. The kids loved camping, there was plenty of space on the site and they made friends with other children staying. Showers, loos and the kitchen area were well maintained and useful. Location is rural, but there is a nice pub within walking distance and it is a good base the explore Dorset from. Plenty of beaches and towns with things to do nearby. Sophia was very friendly and gave lots of useful tips of places to visit while we were there. A lovely stay and would recommend.

This is a wonderful and peaceful place. The caravan is spacious and full of games, books and general stuff to keep everyone entertained. Garden is just fabulous and the wildlife flourishes. This is a very child friendly place with lots of space for kids to run around and lots of things to do without having to leave the comfortable space…and you have chickens as your neighbours. Location is ideal for exploring nearby places & attractions and / or you can just walk to Longford which is a stunning place.

Beautiful stay for me and my little boy, Rachel was a really good host helping me find the place as we arrived in the dark and struggled to find it after a long day

Great intro to camping. We had an issue with our own inflatable mattress and asked if they had a spare we could borrow and Sophia responded quickly. The kids loved the friendly cat, great location between Lulworth and Weymouth both 20 mins away, big tesco 15 mins or so in Dorchester if you do forget anything. Campsite was clean, kitchen had plenty of utilities and electricity points for charging stuff. Bell tents are surprisingly spacious for us (5). Will go again and recommend to friends and family

Linda and Gary are fabulous hosts at this beautiful and peaceful glamping site. From booking onwards Linda sent us lots of really useful information on what to pack and what to expect - really handy when packing for three kids! When we arrived Linda and Gary were there to greet us and show us around. The honesty shop set up is brilliant! The tents themselves are well equipped and nicely kitted out - the views are stunning. We loved the pizza night. Everything is very well organised and really thoughtfully done. The kids loved feeding the farm animals with Gary too. The other campers were also really friendly and there was a great atmosphere. Would love to visit again.

Jo’s place was lovely and peaceful in a fantastic location. We loved feeding the pigs and collecting eggs from the chickens! The tent was clean, comfortable and cosy, we would definitely stay here again.

Our original booking had to be cancelled due over running renovations, but the Harbour Escapes team found us another stay close by. The house was amazing and the little extras that were provided were great (beach towels, shower gel, washing powder, wine, tea and coffee). The team set up a group messaging service for any queries we may have had, and they were very responsive and helpful to the few messages we sent. We would highly recommend Harbour Escapes

I would not normally be one to write a review but I felt this place really deserved it. I have never felt so relaxed while away. This place is amazing value for money and Clare goes above and beyond what you expect from a host. You need to book this place now. Get a safari tent and enjoy the wonderful surroundings. I left this place feeling I have not paid enough for it. Amazing work Clare.

We stayed one night with our two pups and found the Safari tent to be the most peaceful and private spot to unwind. the tent is kitted out with everything you need. We struggled to burn the fire wood provided but managed in the end. I really recommend this to those with dogs looking for a secluded spot to spend their time. At one point the tent was surrounded by a herd of dear, making the place that much more magical. Thank you for allowing us to stay!

My 12 y/o daughter and I have had a wonderful 4 night stay in Homely Horsebox. As someone with small space/off grid living aspirations one day, this is one of my favourite places to have stayed. The horsebox is so homely and cosy, with warm colours and beautiful wooden furniture with a surprising amount of space to put things. The log burner heated it up very well for our February stay. There is everything you need...tea bags, coffee, hot chocolate, sugar, sauces, oil, UHT milk sachets, cleaning items etc. The little cool box is really handy for ice blocks to keep things cool overnight. The highlight for us was the big double bed in the 'snug' above the driving area - with a wonderful bookcase, fairy lights, curtains for privacy and cosy pillows, cushions and blankets - I was jealous of my daughter sleeping in it! Shower great, water toasty. Veranda with beautiful views of fields and a fab shared garden with all sorts to keep kids occupied. We 100% recommend Homely Horsebox! Thx

We stayed here on our visit to Lulworth cove for a trail race on the weekend. The shepherd's hut had underfloor heating which was great. Convenient parking right outside the hut too. Close by to good local pubs as well. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!

It was so much fun! We wanted to escape any New Year’s Eve fireworks, and from inside the trailer we could not see any other homes so it was very secluded. Phone reception and 5G coverage is surprisingly good for the location and toilet cabin is only 2m outside of gated garden. Bridget was kind enough to leave extra duvets and the heater warmed the place up very quickly. I wish I had brought binoculars as we stared at the stars for ages. Bridget’s communication was quick and detailed despite it being a last minute booking.

We had a lovely weekend. Accommodation was clean and very well-equipped. It was a very peaceful location, our kids loved being outdoors early in the morning playing on the swings and looking for the deer. The location was lovely and Lesley and Julian were very helpful. Due to the rain causing the fields to be slippery, we didn't drive down to the tent - walking through some fields back to the car when we were checking out added to the adventure

Lovely stay and friendly accommodating hosts. I think others have mentioned, but the road is very loud (not the hosts fault!), but ear plugs might be desirable and we knew it was in the garden, but is very close to the guests house - it wasn’t a problem at all - but was closer than we expected, so just for others to take on board. We had everything we needed. Great brunch at the dairy close by and a good walk in to Wimborne for meals and drinks along the river.

Sarah and Simon were very lovely hosts, Sarah gave us a great welcome and lots of information, even squeezed us in for one of Simon’s delicious roasts! Very welcome and safe space with lots for the kids to do, our son particularly loved the play bus. Our only downside was that we couldn’t stay longer!! We will definitely be back. Thank you!

The children loved it. what an exciting place to stay! Judy was friendly and available to help throughout the day. location is great for ludworth cove and Weymouth

Very unique place to stay. Very clean and tidy. Highly recommended place to stay. Would go back again.

Caroline is the perfect host, no pestering nothing, caravan sorted by Caroline every day, all 100% good, if you dont like piece and quiet, this is not for you, but if you do like it, couldnt get anywhere nicer, , and an added bonus, of a Fab little pup, Bracken . i had a Fab atay whilst working away, and will without doubt, stay here again when in the area.

My friends and I had a great stay at Driftaway. We hired both the yurt and safari tent so that we had the whole site to ourselves and were able to pitch up another tent to accommodate three families with young children and a dog altogether. The tents and shower blocks are well equipped with cooking equipment and games. The surroundings are beautiful with a woodland behind which has deer, foxes, badgers and rabbits. The hosts were really friendly and responsive when I let them know the loo flush in one of the toilets wasn't working well. They were very accommodating when we had other friends visit for BBQs as well. Overall we really enjoyed our stay & would definately go back!

The camp site was perfect for me and my 2 children, the alpaca’s, the goats, the facilities and whole site was amazing, they loved it! Throughout our stay Claire made us feel right at home, and always made sure we had everything we needed! She even took the time to sit down and talk with my 2 sons on multiple occasions about the fossils they found that day 😊

Lindsay was a perfect host, great, clear instructions and came to say hi just after we arrived. The tent was great, spacious and cosy, fully carpetted with fold out beds. There's a small table and chairs outside the front with a firepit. There are logs available to buy, but we bought our own. Perfect for sitting out till late toasting matshmallows. Very simple with no running water, but there are two toilets. It's peaceful, not crowded and back to nature. We were excited to see our first glowworm! The stars were spectacular. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We had an amazing couple of nights camping by the river with nothing but nature for company. Ideal location for exploring local area as easily accessible. Great little heritage railway station nearby, petrol station, pub and co-op all nearby too. Mark was an excellent host with great communication - it’s exactly what it says in tin - wild camping on a PYO farm with a portaloo for facilities. Enjoyed the fire pit and taking home some goodies from the farm. If you want ‘escape from it all’ with some human contact to camp in the countryside then we would 100% recommend. We got to choose where we pitched up and then that was us done. What a fab way to spend a 40th birthday weekend :) Thank you so much for hosting.
