  • Family-friendly Dorset site with views over the Tarrant Valley
  • A 10-minute drive from Blandford Forum; half an hour to West Lulworth
  • Set on a working farm, a mile from an independent café and farm shop
Surrounded by tree-lined country lanes and gentle green hills, Little Hundreds Campsite is a quiet campsite deep in rural Dorset. This Tarrant Crawford spot borders Little Hundreds coppice, where there's plenty of leafy shade to escape to on hot summer's days. You can look forward to fantastic views whatever the weather at this rural site: to the south, you have vistas over meadows that roll down towards the Stour river, while to the north the farmland just stretches on and on… This laidback site has basic facilities like toilets, showers and a washing-up area, as well as handy extras like solar charging points. In addition, this relaxed spot gives you the freedom to pitch your tent wherever you choose and allows campfires in the designated areas. There are also firepits – with wood on site – available to hire to help arrange campfire evenings with minimal hassle. The site is a few minutes' walk from the footpaths that run up and down the Tarrant Valley and is roughly a mile from an independent farm shop and café. The market town of Blandford Forum (10 minutes' drive) is a short drive away if you’re looking for restaurants or a supermarket; it's also accessible via a quiet cycle path that runs along a flat former railway line.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (family)

Liked: Absolutely nothing! The beautiful little gem of a campsite is true heaven. Facilities are spotlessly clean, pitches are level and easy ground for peg anchorage and the owners are such wonderful people. Peaceful,quiet and stunning surrounding scenery is perfection for campers. Sitting watching the sun go down over the fields and trees with fire pits going was pure bliss. If you haven't been here ypur missing out!

Disliked: The only massive dislike for us was leaving!! But we will be back xxx

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (solo)

Liked: My favourite place, I only wish it was open for more than August! Everything about this campsite is perfect. Thank you so much Katie and Dudley, already counting down the days until I can come back again. Highlights were seeing the outline of the Milky Way, a shooting star, and the beautiful nearby medieval church, and not forgetting the lovely sheep!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (two person)

Liked: Enjoyed our week here. Katie was very friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. Site was clean, spacious and peaceful. Lots of places nearby to explore, as well as walks straight from the campsite. The Anchor pub in Shapwick was lovely, reached by a short walk through the fields and along the river.

Disliked: Nothing, we'll definitely return

Local attractions

Surround yourself with the rustling of leaves, fragrant scents and gorgeous blooms at Keyneston Mill (15 minutes' walk), a small-scale botanical garden that produces sweet-smelling plants for its line of luxury perfumes. Live music events, arts workshops and guided garden tours are all available here, so have a look at what's on during your visit and book in advance to avoid disappointment. Days out along the Jurassic Coast area are easily arranged at Little Hundreds Campsite: Lulworth Cove is only half an hour away by road, while other pretty coastal locations like Kimmeridge Bay (35 minutes) are easily accessible too. However much time you spend at the coast, don't ignore Dorset's gorgeous hinterland: from the cobbled streets of Shaftesbury (30 minutes) to the ruins of Corfe Castle and the Isle of Purbeck's steam railway (30 minutes), there's something for all the family. For more time outdoors, bring your clubs along and head to Ashley Woods Golf Club (10 minutes' drive), or explore the National Trust-maintained gardens and grounds at Kingston Lacy (10 minutes), one of the prettiest country estates in Dorset.
