The True Lovers Knot

The True Lovers Knot is a village pub with a small caravan and camping area, set in the Tarrant Valley at Tarrant Keyneston in rural Dorset. The pub sits about 4 miles east of Blandford Forum along quiet country lanes, with the chalk downland and walking trails of Cranborne Chase within easy reach. Camping here is straightforward and pub-based: the ground beside the pub takes tents, caravans and motorhomes, with electric hook-up available, so it suits people who want a pint and a proper meal a few steps from the tent rather than a big resort with pools and clubs. It does not suit anyone after a large touring park with lots of on-site facilities. What sets it apart is the pub itself, now under new management, serving a traditional menu and Hall and Woodhouse ales in a beamed bar with a log fire, plus four en-suite rooms if the weather turns. Dogs are welcome in the bar and on the camping pitches. The True Lovers Knot works best as a relaxed base for exploring the Tarrant Valley and Blandford Forum. Camping prices are not published online, so contact the pub directly to book a pitch.
