Martleaves Farm Campsite

Martleaves Farm Campsite, which trades online as Weymouth Camping and Caravan Park, is an adults-only site on a working farm at Wyke Regis between Weymouth and Portland, set beside Chesil Beach on the Jurassic Coast. The 34 acre farm is a Site of Special Scientific Interest overlooking the coast, with the Fleet Lagoon just 300 metres away and the South West Coast Path running alongside. Pitches cover grass and hard standing for tents, trailer tents, caravans and camper vans, with electric hook-up available. Everyone on site must be over 18, so this is a quiet, grown-ups' campsite rather than a family park, though it stays sociable in summer. It is a genuine working farm, home to alpacas, Shetland ponies, pygmy goats, miniature donkeys, poultry and sheep, so expect the odd early-morning horse walk and some farmyard noise. Dogs are welcome on a lead (a small nightly charge applies) and there is a footpath down to the shore where they can run off-lead. What stands out is the coastal outlook, the farm animals and being able to paddleboard or kayak your own kit on the Fleet nearby. Martleaves Farm is open 365 days a year, with portable fire pits for hire, and tent pitches start from £18 a night for one camper without electric.
