About Weston Farm Campsite

Weston Farm Campsite is a simple, natural site in a meadow on the rural Isle of Purbeck, with dramatic views and near a network of paths to the coast. It's a 30-minute walk down to the quiet local beach, Chapman’s Pool, to swim, snorkel, dip into rock pools and look for fossils. The rocky ledges of Winspit and Seacombe are on the more rugged coastline to the east, and the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its incredible rocks and fossils, is nearby. The site is just a five-minute walk from the South West Coast Path. 

Weston Farm is part of a National Trust project to restore the farmland to wildlife-friendly grassland and woodland pasture, and you might spot hares, skylarks, barn owls and glow-worms. The small village of Worth Matravers is a quiet, ten-minute walk away, where you’ll find a tearoom and historic pub. It’s a ten-minute drive to Corfe Castle, where you'll have free entry during your stay. 

Weston Farm Campsite is just for tents, but if you've got a self-contained campervan or motorhome, take a look at our nearby site Weston Farm Motorhome Site.

Check-in is from 2.30pm, with departures by 10.30am. For group bookings, directions, late arrivals, facility information, local area information and more, please check the Guide to Weston Farm Campsite.
