South Buckland Farm

South Buckland Farm is a small, quiet caravan site on farmland at Nottington, roughly 2 miles north of Weymouth. The owners call it a no frills site, and that is the honest pitch: flat, unmarked grass pitches with electric hook up available, and no attempt at being a holiday park. Tents are not accepted, so this one is for caravans and motorhomes only, and anyone after a bar, a pool or an entertainment programme should book elsewhere. Well behaved dogs are welcome. Weymouth beach and town centre are about a 10 minute drive, Radipole Lake and its RSPB reserve are around 2 miles away, and Abbotsbury Swannery sits about 5 miles west, so the Jurassic Coast is on the doorstep without paying coastal pitch prices. What stands out at South Buckland Farm is the simplicity and the position: close enough to Weymouth for a beach day, far enough out of it to sleep. Booking is handled by the owners directly, by text, WhatsApp or email rather than an online system, and rates are not published, so contact the site for a current price before you travel.
