The Red Lion Certificated Site

The Red Lion Certificated Site is a small campsite in the field behind the Red Lion pub in Winfrith Newburgh, Dorset, close to the Jurassic Coast. The village sits in open countryside between Dorchester and Wareham, and the site is roughly a ten minute drive from Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove and Man o' War beach, which makes it a practical base for the coast path. Pitches are spacious and many are sheltered by mature trees, with showers, mains water, toilets and a washing up area on site. Tents, touring caravans, motorhomes and smaller campervans are accepted. The main draw is the pub on the doorstep: it serves food and West Country ales and ciders through the year, with log fires in winter and a beer garden in summer, and staying campers get a discount on their food bill. Dogs are welcome, and the surrounding downs give straightforward walking from the gate. This is a simple, back to basics field rather than a facility heavy park, so it suits campers who want a quiet pitch and a good pub over playgrounds or pools. The pub is now run by Barr and Barr's Hospitality. Booking and current prices for the Winfrith Newburgh site are handled through the pub, so contact them directly to check availability and pitch rates.
