Primitive grass campsite (medium)

Liked: First time staying at portesham dairy and would happily stay again. Very easy check in, pitch was flat, dry and close to shower block. Site itself is a lovely quiet campsite with basic amenities. Vending milk, ice creams, groceries. Lady on reception was very helpful when I needed something they didn't sell, and gave me directions to the nearest shop. Kings arms pub is just across the road. Bus into Weymouth stops right outside.

From the manager: Many thanks for taking the time to write a very kind review and giving us a 10/10 overall score. We are so glad that you would happily stay again and we look forward to seeing you back for another visit.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite (medium)

Liked: Most modern showers I have ever experienced. Liked the entry/exit security. Staff very friendly and helpful. Beautiful village celebrating 1000 yrs. anniversary.

Disliked: Boooked a grass pitch and learnt that the grass was too soft to use E&P levelling but they were able to find us a hard standing. Might find facilities inadequate if site was full.

Liked: Liked the location of this site. Pub and farm shop within a few mins walk. Pitch sizes good. Friendly & efficient wardens. Great dog exercise area.

Local attractions

However long you stay here (at least a couple of weeks, preferably), there's enough to see and do around Dorset to entertain all ages and tastes. Ditch the car if you prefer: the local bus stop is 150 yards from the farm entrance, to pick up the Jurassic Coast route bus (X53) running from Exeter to Poole. The Portesham Dairy Farm team recommends a climb up to the Hardy Monument on Black Down (five minutes' drive) as a nifty way to see Dorset and its splendid coastline (the monument isn't to the writer Thomas Hardy as you might expect in these parts, but to Vice Admiral Thomas Hardy, a commander at the Battle of Trafalgar; do be sure to tell that to the kids). You should be able to see the Devon coast, the Mendip Hills and the Isle of Wight from here on a clear day; just clamber the 120 steps up to the viewpoint. Also much recommended is Abbotsbury, home of the famed swannery as well as subtropical gardens and a kids' farm (also five minutes' drive), and the golden sands, sand sculptures and fair rides of Weymouth, 15 minutes from the farm. Portland (25 minutes) is also a must: visit the lighthouse, forage for fossils and come down the hill from the top of town for stunning views of the coast and Chesil Beach.
