Dorset is a fantastic spot for holiday escapes, and it’s no secret that the sprawling countryside and the famed Jurassic Coast offer plenty of attractive areas to pitch a tent and soak up the scenery. With beautiful beaches and lovely seaside towns at your disposal, there’s plenty of space for one to kick back and forget the modern world – the only task is picking out the perfect spot. Friar Waddon House Weymouth blends the thrills of being in the middle of nowhere while in the midst of it all. A lovely camping field with generous 10m by 10m pitches, a mere 6-miles north of Chesil Beach. The well-loved fossil hunting bays of Lyme Regis and Kimmeridge beckon a short distance away, making this a splendid spot for small caravans, motorhomes, campervans and tents. Camping here is a casual affair, with loosely marked pitches evenly spaced out on a couple of fields. Friendly owner Elisa, who runs the campsite, will greet you on arrival and let you pick a handy spot for camping. Guests are welcome to enjoy the flickering warmth of campfires, as long as they are in off-ground fire pits, and there are several for hire on-site. Amenities consist of compost loos, hot shower cabins, and an outdoor washing-up sink. Dogs on leads are welcome.
