Blagdon Fruit Farm Certificated Site

Blagdon Fruit Farm is a family run farm campsite at Coldharbour, Chickerell, less than a 10 minute drive from Weymouth and its beach. The campsite is open all year with hardstanding pitches, and grass pitches are added from spring through to autumn, all with electric hook up and water taps located around the site. A tent field sits adjacent to the caravan and motorhome area, with electric available if you ask when booking. Facilities are honest rather than extensive: toilets and showers, a washing up area, chemical waste disposal, a recycling and waste area, and a farm track dog walk. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times and walked only on that dog walk, because there is livestock on the farm. What sets Blagdon Fruit Farm apart from a plain field outside Weymouth is the farm itself. Pick your own fruit and vegetables runs through the summer months subject to availability, fresh farm eggs are sold all year, and the Blagdon Tea Room opens Tuesday to Sunday from June to September for light refreshments including Dorset cream teas. The views are of the farm, its animals and the wildlife rather than the sea, and the site is a deliberately quiet one. Pitches are priced for two adults and two children under 12 and include electric, prices are not published, so phone the farm to book. Cash preferred, with low season discounts.
