Home Farm Camping

Dorset Dt11 8 Jw, Dorset, England
1 acre hosted by Home C.
Where wind casts a shimmer across the golden fields, Cranborune Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a diverse landscape that has a little of everything. Ancient woodlands, chalky streams and rolling fields merge into one another, pockmarked by quaint rural settlements and old farmsteads. One such abode is Home Farm, tending the land here for years and steadily growing in fame for its award-winning shop and tearooms. But after 60 years of homegrown success they too have become as diverse as the landscape and turned the farm’s grassy meadows into a welcoming campsite for those venturing to this quiet part of Dorset.

Though Home Farm is a certified Camping and Caravanning Club site, the designated camping is relatively small, with space for just five caravans and ten tent pitches. But it's the glamping credentials of Home Farm that make it stand out from the plethora of other regional spots. In a large grassy field, bordered by trees and hedges, stand six well-furnished bell tents, carpeted and kitted out with beds, rugs and an army of pillows. These charming tents face in toward picnic benches and a wooden awning that covers a pair of barbecues, accompanied by cool boxes for keeping the beers chilled. Beyond the bell tents, tucked against the trees, are Home Farm’s two yurts “Copse” and “Glebe”. The former can accommodate up to five people while the latter is more of a romantic hideaway for two, where couples can snuggle up before the log-burning stove. The yurts are a traditional Mongolian design and sit on raised wooden decks with garden furniture outside, both sharing a kitchen area with all the utensils you require.

The sociable lay out of the bell tents makes this a popular site for group camping, exclusively hiring them out for parties and gatherings. In fact, Home Farm even offer bespoke glamping packages to make sure all your whims are provided for. Hen parties can request beauty treatments, clay pigeon shooting, craft activities or visits to the Dorset Cider Farm, while a large ‘emperor's tent’ can also be hired, perfect for communal activities. Those looking for a slightly quieter time can wander along the Jubilee Trail, a footpath that runs straight through the farm, or head down to the Home Farm Shop to relax in their award-winning tea rooms. Historic Salisbury, with its commanding cathedral, lies half an hour away. The beach resorts of Bournemouth, Poole and Sandbanks, Jurassic Coast and the New Forest are all within easy reach. Access to such attractions means there is plenty to do for the independent traveler but with so many onsite options revellers with a good party idea need only call up and ask to really make this campsite their own.
