Herston Yards Farm

Herston Yards Farm, still known to many as Herston Caravan and Camp Site, is a large camping, glamping and touring park on the edge of Swanage in the Isle of Purbeck, Dorset. The site sits about a five-minute walk from Herston Halt on the Swanage steam railway, so you can ride the heritage line to Corfe Castle, and the beaches of Swanage and Studland and the wider Jurassic Coast are all close by. Pitches range from fully serviced hard-standings with electric, water and drainage to grass electric pitches for tents, caravans and campervans, plus non-electric grass camping in summer on a first-come basis. For glamping there are bell tents supplied with a BBQ and firewood, alongside separately run log cabins with hot tubs. Dogs stay free and are welcome on a lead, and families are well catered for. Be aware the bar and restaurant are closed while a swimming pool, soft play, gym and food outlets are built, though the on-site shop and cafe stay open. Herston Yards Farm quotes prices and takes bookings through its online booking system, so check there for pitch types and dates.
