Campsite vacation rentals in Dorset

Rachel and Dominic have fantastic places to stay at Moonacre, there are a variety of different options in a stunning location. Quirky and fun, these outdoor living spaces are a joy if you are looking for a peaceful retreat in the countryside or an adventure with your family. It’s not unusual to raise your head from your book or laptop to see a herd of deer peering at you from the fields or woods. This time I stayed in Monty the Motorhome, a converted motorhome, a very quiet and relaxing night. I will stay again when I get the opportunity.

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.

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

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

Caroline is the best host I’ve had on air bnb! Very quick to reply to messages and showed us around the caravan. Supplied us with milk, tea coffee and sugar and we felt soo at home! Caravan was very clean and cosy and is a beautiful, peaceful location! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt very welcome!

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!

Delightful place to stay, our second time and will return again no doubt.

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.

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 an amazing stay. Beautiful location, very peaceful and private. The nights were quite chilly when we stayed but Georgie was extremely accommodating, making sure we had plenty of blankets and wood for the wood burner to keep us warm. Great hosts whose attention to detail is impeccable, they really couldn’t do enough for us. Our 5 year old loved it too!

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!

A beautiful location for a peaceful night away. I arrived on a cold February afternoon but a heater was supplied and a heated blanket, so despite the 3degrees outside I was toasty warm. The place was spotless and beautiful and everything I needed was there ready, including tea, coffee and hot chocolate! Lesley and Julian were incredible hosts and have created a wonderful space to unwind in the countryside. I can’t wait to return soon!

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

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

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 😊

What an amazing stay. A fantastic get away from the hustle and bustle. Throughly enjoyed our stay and the treasure hunt. Will most definitely be booking again, and again and again. Sooooo....relaxing. Even Dilan was a great host. Thank you very much James.

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.

It was NYE, me and my girlfriend wanted somewhere low key and peaceful to spend the evening. We stayed at Jenni’s Shepherds hut situated in their grounds of their home. We were greeted on arrival by their housekeeper who showed us to where we were staying. The log burner had kindly been lit before we got there. Everything was very clean and the most well equipped shepherds hut we’ve stayed at and in the morning we only noticed the fresh bottle of milk, eggs, bagels, jam and clotted cream with tea, coffee and sugar. The view outside was stunning, boasting beautiful views of the countryside. We would have gone walking but the weather wasn’t great. It did make for a cosy stay indoors with the sound of rain hitting the skylight. All in all, would definitely stay here again and couldn’t recommend enough.
