About this site

Rosewall Camping is a family run tents and campervan site on a south facing hillside above Osmington Mills, near Weymouth on Dorset's Jurassic Coast. The 13 acre field sits a few miles east of Weymouth, close to the South West Coast Path, and looks out over Weymouth Bay and rolling countryside, so most pitches come with a sea view. The whole site slopes, which means a genuinely flat pitch is hard to find, but pitching is relaxed and unmarked, so you pick your own spot with room to spread out. Rosewall takes tents, campervans and motorhomes only, with no touring caravan pitches and no electric hook-ups, and the owners welcome families, couples and coast path walkers. Two modern toilet blocks have showers, disabled facilities, laundry and a seasonal shop stocking gas, freezer packs and basics. On site there is horse riding and coarse fishing lakes, and The Smugglers Inn is within walking distance down at the Mills. Dogs are welcome for a small nightly charge. The site gets busy in peak season, so it suits people using Weymouth as a base rather than anyone after total quiet. Pitches start from £15 a night for a solo adult tent, booked through the operator's online system, and fire pits are usually allowed, though a temporary ban applies in very dry weather.

Good to know

Does Rosewall Camping allow dogs?
Yes, dogs are welcome at Rosewall Camping for a small charge of £2 per pet a night, as listed on the 2026 price list. The site sits beside the South West Coast Path, so there is plenty of walking straight from the field. Owners should keep dogs under control around other campers and nearby livestock.
Can you have a campfire or BBQ at Rosewall Camping?
Yes, fire pits and charcoal BBQs are normally allowed at Rosewall Camping, but in very dry, hot conditions the owners bring in a temporary ban on both for safety. Check the site's latest news before you travel, and pack a gas stove as a reliable backup for cooking during any ban.
Does Rosewall Camping have electric hook-ups?
No, Rosewall Camping does not offer electric hook-ups on any pitch, and it does not take touring caravans. The site is set up for tents, campervans and motorhomes on standard grass pitches, so bring leisure batteries or a power bank if you need to keep devices and cool boxes running.
How far is Rosewall Camping from the beach and Weymouth?
Rosewall sits at Osmington Mills, a few miles east of Weymouth on the Jurassic Coast, with the South West Coast Path running alongside the site. Osmington Mills beach and The Smugglers Inn are within walking distance downhill, and Weymouth town and its main sandy beach are a short drive west.
When is Rosewall Camping open and what does it cost?
Rosewall's 2026 price list runs from mid April to early October. Standard pitches start from £15 a night for a solo adult tent and £25 a night for two people with a tent and car. Coast path walkers can stay one night from £10, and a minimum three night stay may apply at peak times.
Can I bring a caravan to Rosewall Camping?
No, Rosewall Camping does not accept touring caravans. The site is licensed for tents, campervans and motorhomes only, and each unit needs its own booking, so one booking equals one pitch. The field is on a slope, so campervan and motorhome owners should bring levelling ramps to set up comfortably.
