Description
Pitches: 90
Nearly Wild Camping on the beautiful Isle of Portland. By day you will see kestrels, owls and wildflowers, and with zero light pollution by night you can enjoy the most beautiful star gazing. We own a riding school so you can also book to ride and see the island on horseback
With minimal facilities and as little impact on the land as possible, we have handcrafted compost toilets and cold water on tap in each field. Come prepared for some wild weather but enjoy the breathtaking landscapes and coastline.
You`ll stay in one of our privately owned fields, each with:
Cold-water taps
Compost toilets
Hot showers - £1 for 3 minutes
EHU limited to just 16 pitches - Mollie`s Meadow or Sammy`s Paddock
You can charge devices by the shower block or on the outside socket in front of the canteen, both free of charge.
Currently, we don`t have a grey water or waste disposal point on site, so this isn`t possible. We are still awaiting planning permission for an emptying point.
Come and enjoy the many activities Portland has to offer, from horse riding, walking, rock climbing, bird watching, fishing, sailing or enjoying ice creams at the famous Portland Bill lighthouse.
Portland known as the jewel of Dorset, is a tied island, 4 miles long and just 5 miles south from Weymouth, forming the southernmost point of the county. The Jurassic Chesil Beach joins it to the mainland.
We are off the beaten track between the village of Southwell and Portland Bill.
Sunrises, sunsets and star gazing can be enjoyed by all in our campsite that covers approximately 5 acres of level ground with unrestricted views overlooking the sea and three lighthouses, across cornfields and grazing horses.
New: Horsebox Sauna, Cold Plunges & Fire Circle
Alongside the camping fields, we`ve created a peaceful wellness area designed to help you slow down and reconnect with the elements. Here you`ll find:
A converted horsebox sauna
Cold-water plunge baths for invigorating contrast therapy
A sheltered fire circle — perfect for grounding after a day exploring
A tranquil studio space for movement, breath-work and small-group sessions
Sessions are to be booked in advance, and availability is updated regularly on our Experiences or Sauna web pages.
Nearby Attractions
The nearest pub is The Eight Kings. From the campsite, walk down the track, turn right at the bottom of the hill and it`s about a 5-minute walk.
There is a Co-op about a 5-minute drive (or 25-minute walk) away. A larger Tesco is around a 7-minute drive (or 35-minute walk).
Nearest beaches:
Church Ope Cove: A small pebble cove on the east side of the island, about a 30-minute coastal walk or a 5-minute drive.
Chesil Beach: At the bottom of the island, roughly a 10-minute drive from the campsite.
Portland is full of coastal paths. From the far end of The Far Away Field there`s a gate leading to the cliff edge. From there you can walk to Portland Bill and right around the island.
