Looking for a Dorset Rural Retreat or Glamping Holiday ?
Relax and unwind at Hobby Farm, our recently opened, peaceful, countryside campsite retreat in the heart of the Dorset Marshwood Vale, West Dorset, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are numerous footpaths leading to the nearby coastal beach at Charmouth and it is just a 10 minute drive to the bustling seaside town of Lyme Regis. There’s also an abundance of wildlife all around the site with otters and ducklings to be found on the pond, horses grazing nearby and even a badgers set on the hill. There’s also a lovely country pub serving great food and ale just a 500 yard walk down the lane too!
Choose from our 9 non-electric grass pitches for tents, trailer tents, campervans or, if you are looking for ‘posh camping’ why not try one of our 2 well-equipped glamping Shepherd’s Huts, Otter’s Nest and Fox’s Den both situated at each end of our fishing pond.
Whatever you choose, you can be sure of a relaxing stay at Hobby Farm Campsite and wake up to the sound of birdsong or the distant church bells.

How to Find Us
You will find us near to the village of Whitchurch Canonicorum in the Marshwood Vale. From the A35 in Morcombelake, turn into Ryall village and continue through following signs for the village of Whitchurch Canonicorum.
At the Five Bells pub, take the right turn into Blunts Hay Lane and continue 500 yards along this road going past Hobby Farm (equestrian stables with tall gates). The next turning on the right you will see the sign for Hobby Farm Holidays on the gate. Open the gate and drive up the track and turn left. The Shepherd’s huts are in the field on the right.
Otters Nest is to the right side of the pond and Fox’s Den to the left. If pitching, then go through to the top field to the left and choose any position that suits you. If the field is very wet, please do not bring your vehicle into the Shepherd’s Hut field but park your vehicle by the entrance on the opposite side of the track.
