About this site

Studland Summer Camp is a long-established naturist campsite for tents on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, and it is the only naturist camp site in Purbeck. The site is simple and rustic, gently sloping and ringed by open countryside on the Jurassic Coast, within easy reach of Swanage about 3 miles away and the historic village of Corfe Castle a couple of miles off. Clothing is optional and all naturists are welcome, whether you are single, a couple, a family or new to the idea, so guests should be comfortable with a clothing-optional setting. This is a tents-first site with no electric hook-up and no glamping. Coach-built motorhomes, caravans and large vans cannot be taken, and only small van-derived campers are considered by prior arrangement, with no car campers. Facilities are kept basic and clean, with hot showers, flushing toilets, a washing-up station, a chemical toilet emptying point, recycling bins and shared fridge and freezer space for small items. Studland naturist beach is a well-known draw a short distance away. Studland Summer Camp opens for two short seasons each year, with a Whitsun spring season from 16 to 31 May 2026 and a summer season from 24 July to 2 September 2026. Pitches start from £19 a night for one tent and up to two adults, with children camping free.

Good to know

Is Studland Summer Camp a naturist site?
Yes, Studland Summer Camp is a naturist campsite and clothing is optional across the site. It is affiliated to British Naturism and is the only naturist camp site on the Isle of Purbeck. All naturists are welcome, including couples, families and people who are new to the idea.
Can families and children stay?
Yes, Studland Summer Camp is family-friendly and children are welcome. There is no charge for accompanying children or small pup tents where occupants are under 18. The site is quiet and rustic rather than an entertainment park, so it suits families who want a simple, back-to-basics naturist camping break.
Does the site have electric hook-up?
No, Studland Summer Camp does not have electric hook-up. The facilities are deliberately basic, with hot showers, flushing toilets, a washing-up station, a chemical toilet emptying point and shared fridge and freezer space for small items. Bring what you need for off-grid tent camping and pack a torch for the evenings.
Can I bring a caravan or motorhome?
No, the site is tents-first and cannot take coach-built motorhomes, caravans or large vans. Only small van-derived campers, such as a VW Transporter, are considered by prior arrangement, with a maximum stay of two weeks and no car campers. Most of the narrow surrounding lanes are unsuitable for larger vehicles.
When is Studland Summer Camp open?
The camp opens for two short seasons a year. In 2026 the Whitsun spring season runs from 16 to 31 May, and the summer season runs from 24 July to 2 September. Booking is by contacting the site directly, and it does not accept large group bookings.
How much does it cost to camp?
Pitches start from £19 a night for one tent with up to two adults, paid as a £19 deposit in advance and £19 for each additional night. Extra adults are £5 each per night, while children under 18 camp free. Payment is by card or cash, and discounts apply for longer stays.
