Dewflock Farm

Dewflock Farm, trading as Dorset Farm Camping, is a small summer glamping and camping site on a working livestock farm at Winterborne Monkton, two miles from Dorchester in Dorset. The bell tent village sits in ten acres with southerly views towards the Wessex Ridgeway, and the county town of Dorchester is a short drive while Weymouth and the Jurassic Coast lie about seven miles over the Ridgeway. You can hire a furnished or part-furnished bell tent, or bring your own tent, trailer tent, roof tent or campervan on a grass pitch. There is no electric hook-up on pitch-your-own spots and, because this is a livestock farm, no dogs are allowed, so it will not suit dog owners or anyone after a full-service touring park. It suits families and couples who want a relaxed farm stay: children can drive the mini Land Rovers, meet the animals and roam an enclosed paddock, and every bell tent has its own fire pit for a barbecue. A shared field kitchen, hot showers and the Pig Shed Cafe (barista coffee, breakfast rolls and Wednesday and Sunday pizza nights) round out Dewflock Farm. The season is short, running mainly from mid-July to the end of August, with grass pitches from £28 a night and bell tents from £300 per stay, booked through the farm.
