  • Well-maintained amenities including heated shower block
As most folk know, country rambles are an absolute must when holidaying in Dorset. So it's most fortuitous that Oathill Farm Holiday and Touring Park's lovely location allows for easy access to many human- and dog-friendly walks. Not only do these start straight from the site, they go along public footpaths and a network of country lanes, over bridges and rivers to local beauty spots like Forde Abbey House and Gardens, Pilsdon Pen and Wayford Woods. The family crew at Oathill have been running things in a relaxed, friendly and well-kept manner for years at their neatly landscaped site, set over 10 acres of Dorset countryside, with landscaped ponds and separate designated recreational and dog walking areas. All of this provides a peaceful environment for guests, in keeping with the stunning local Dorset landscapes such as the seaside scenery of Lyme Regis, 12 miles away. The team prides itself on the standard of its facilities and amenities: guests have the use of a heated toilet and shower block, a washing-up area, a washer and a dryer. As there is no shop or café on site, take a 10-minute drive to Crewkerne to grab groceries at the nearest shop.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Very presentable campsite. Love that it’s not over busy. Very peaceful and has everything you need on site. I will add photos to this review. Showers are perfect and good water pressure. Signal is great in the area too. Dog bath, washing machine and tumbler dryer, recycling, ash bin for bbq, washing up station. Honestly just brilliant Lyme Regis was 20mins away and is very nice down there. Loads of museums around too

Disliked: Only thing that let it down, we choose this campsite for the fishing and couldn’t do any fishing as needs cleaning/ de weeding But the campsite is fabulous
