Campers love pitching or parking up on the stunning South West Coast, and the stretch between Lyme Regis and Weymouth has long been a preferred base for bucolic escapes. The dramatic Jurassic Coastline hugs this stretch of the southwest, and a wealth of seaside resorts sprinkled with thatched-roof cottages provide picturesque backdrops for breezy beachy getaways. Northdown Farm enjoys a stunning location amid this incredible landscape, resting on the rolling slopes of Osmington Hill. It stretches across a stunningly lush landscape known as Paradise Valley, and what a heavenly location it is, with far-reaching views extending over the South Dorset Downs, the shimmering Celtic Sea, and the famed Osmington White Horse. The owners have created a peaceful, spacious, viewsome base for family-friendly tent-only camping. Content camping folk are unlikely to find the urge to step away as the views are sumptuous, and the amenities are ample. There are toilets, free hot showers, and recycling amenities. A splendid farm shop stocks fresh produce on the premises courtesy of the farm’s livestock and an organic bakery stocked with fresh bread, stone-baked pizza, and pastries. The accommodating owners even offer a bus service to one of the excellent beaches nearby. Northdown Farm is only open for four weeks a year and welcomes dogs.
