Barley Fields Camping
If you are looking for a unique campsite away from the hustle and bustle and 'busyness' of others then please do pay us a visit! I believe in offering spacious 'pick your own' pitches with not a tape measure in sight! You will be immersed in nature and will see brown hares, barn owls, marsh harriers, and wild flowers to name but a few. Many visitors also comment on the magic of the 'dark sky' ideal for star gazing. Please note we are a 'quiet site' and do not allow music on-site. In keeping with the surroundings, the wooden facilities shed offers 2 unisex flushing loos & sinks, 4 hot water showers, a private loo with sink, gents urinals & extra portable loos during peak times. Hot water washing-up area and local information board. It is possible to get 4G on site depending on your network. Because of the 'off-grid' location, we are unable to offer any electric hook up but we do supply phone/tablet charging facilities provided by the generator which runs daily for a few hours. We have firepits available on-site for your own private use at no extra charge and kiln-dried log nets for sale at £5/bag. Please remember to bring cash as we do not have card payment facilities...also put aside a few spare pennies for a bag of toasting marshmallows!
Happyard
Welcome to Happyard at Bride Valley Farm, Higher Kingston Russell near Dorchester — an off-grid eco farm and alpaca centre deep in the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Licence 8213; hosted by Tina Hardiman. It’s all about animals and the countryside here. A herd of friendly woolly alpacas call Happyard home, alongside horses, ponies, guinea pigs and more. Guests can meet the herd, book guided alpaca walks (lesson, walk, feed and light refreshments — picnic welcome), shorter meet-and-greets aimed at younger children, or bookable alpaca therapy sessions (up to two people, up to three hours in a quiet paddock). Some feeding/meet activities are free for campers on set weekdays — book with Tina on the number in your confirmation. Walks, parties and therapy are typically bookable extras. The camping field is roomy and rural, with green views toward the Hardy Monument. Pitch your own tent or trailer tent on non-electric grass (no touring caravans or motorhomes), or stay in a pre-erected 5m bell tent — choose a basic shell or the cozy set-up with airbeds, firepit kit, camping stove and welcome pack. Firepits and barbecues are allowed when weather permits (never inside hired tents). One gazebo/awning and picnic space by the pitch keep outdoor living easy. Facilities are intentionally simple and shared: toilets (including portaloos), showers and a washing-up area in the main yard. Communal plates, cups and cutlery are usually available at the washing-up area for glampers. Because Happyard is fully off-grid, please bring drinking water and a strong torch — parts of the field are unlit after dark. Parking is by your pitch (two cars included on seeded rates). You’re brilliantly placed for Dorset days out: Bridport about 10–13 minutes, Dorchester ~15 minutes, Weymouth ~25 minutes, and Jurassic Coast favourites Charmouth, Lyme Regis and West Bay within roughly 30–35 minutes. Abbotsbury Swannery and the Cerne Abbas Giant are nearby; the site sits just after Winterbourne Abbas, minutes from the A35 — a handy overnight stop en route to Devon or Cornwall. Season typically runs early April to end of August (confirm current-year dates with Tina). Teachers, frontline staff and DT2 residents may qualify for a direct-book discount — ask Tina with ID. Quiet, family-friendly farm camping with real animal encounters rather than a holiday-park atmosphere.
Fullabrook Farm Retreat
Welcome to Fullabrook Farm Retreat — a peaceful adults-only hideaway on the edge of a 250-acre working family farm in central North Devon, surrounded by countryside and close to the rugged North Devon coast. Home is The Shepherdess: a handcrafted 20ft shepherd’s hut built from scratch by hosts Zoe and Sam Tucker (with plenty of family help) between the day jobs on the farm where they live with twins Imogen and Harry. You’re slightly off the beaten track, yet minutes from West Down village and within easy reach of every North Devon beach — Woolacombe, Croyde, Saunton, Putsborough, Ilfracombe and more. Private woodland sits nearby; look out for pheasants wandering and deer soaking up the sun in neighbouring fields. Sheep graze close by; the feel is quiet, private and intentionally small — just your hut, not a holiday park. Inside you’ll find a king-size bed with soft linen, dining and living space, Wi‑Fi, TV with Amazon Fire Stick, and central heating throughout for cooler nights. The ensuite bathroom has a spacious hot shower, basin and flushing loo, plus bathrobes, towels and complimentary Out of Eden toiletries (hand soap, lotion, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel). The kitchen is fully equipped with a four-ring hob, oven, under-counter fridge/freezer, toaster, Belfast sink and a full set of utensils — plus complimentary oil, salt, pepper, vinegar, tea, coffee, sugar, hot chocolate and marshmallows. Arrival essentials typically include an oven glove, tea towel, dish cloth, washing-up liquid, toilet rolls and a bin bag; two outdoor blankets are provided for patio evenings. Outside, a private patio has dining furniture, barbecue and a firepit with cooking facilities. Logs, kindling, matches and firelighters are included (extra wood available for a small fee). Expect memorable sunsets and dark-sky stargazing after a day on the coast or Exmoor. West Down (about five minutes’ drive) has a community-run shop for BBQ essentials and a foodie pub if you fancy a change of scenery. Open all year. Adults only (18+) — no children as guests or visitors. No pets of any kind (farm livestock, horses and woodland wildlife nearby). Maximum two adults; parties and events not permitted. No outdoor music or radios — headphones only outside the hut. Minimum 2-night stay. Check-in from 4pm with contactless entry (weekday arrivals welcome); check-out by 10am. Private off-road parking for two cars; the path from the car park is a gravel slope — flat footwear advised. Please leave the hut clean and tidy.
Maes Tywyn Campsite
A family-run Isle of Anglesey site, Maes Tywyn Campsite is in a magnificent setting with peaceful surrounds, easy access to walks and beaches, and village amenities only half a mile away. Please note : We're unable to accept dogs listed under dangerous breeds

Messing about on the River....Gorgeous Campsites with canoe hire
If, like Moley, Ratty and Badger you love nothing more than gadding about in and around the river, then read on. With tranquil waters lapping the banks, weeping willows trailing their branches into the water, dragonflies swooping over the waterlilies, and miles and miles of meandering gentle pathways, pottering along a river can be one of the most beautiful, peaceful and low impact ways of exploring the countryside. Through farmland, woodland, dense forests and coastal routes leading to the sea, British rivers provide a wonderfully inspirational journey across some of the most beautiful landscapes....and canoeing these rivers is one of the best ways to explore them. Pack a picnic, grab an oar and push-off downstream. Here are some wonderful campsites where you can stay for a few days, hire a canoe (or bring your own) and set off right from your tent. Some even pack you off with a river map and top tips for the best riverside pub on route too. So what are you waiting for? Relax, unwind and potter off downriver for a camping trip with a bit of extra adventure....
