Woodfrys Farm Campsite

Shaftesbury, North Dorset, England

Woodfrys Farm is a wild-ish campsite in the most scenic of settings. If you want to get back to nature in fantastic surroundings, then this campsite is for you. Nestled in the North Dorset countryside in easy striking distance of lovely places to visit, you can decide whether to go out or relax onsite watching the birdlife on the lake, paddling in the stream, or walking the meadow. ​ Situated in the Cranbourne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is a International Dark Sky Reserve, with dark nights and starry skies. Torches are a must! ​ Camping in the Water Meadow ​ Enclosed in the valley bottom, the Water Meadow is surrounded by mature trees. The one acre lake sits close to the chalk stream, and there's another smaller wildlife lake too so you are never more than 10 metres away from water. ​ Pitches are mown into the meadow and are generous in size, with plenty of space between you and other pitches. This year we are opening up more spots around the lake and at Meadows end. You won't be able to choose your exact spot in advance as we rotate pitches to protect the ground but you can guarantee your pitch will be next to some water, be it the lake or the stream. Whilst you can't swim in the lake, you can fish, and if you need to get your feet wet then the Sturkel chalk stream is great for dipping your toes in and splashing about. ​
