Offering a picturesque and serene outdoor setting for holidays, Martleaves Farm is a beautifully appointed, adult-only campsite located on the Dorset coast between Weymouth and Portland. Set within the mesmerizing Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, this campsite spans 34 acres of breathtaking countryside.

Designated as a site of special scientific interest (SSSI), Martleaves is a haven for nature enthusiasts and bird watchers alike. With its proximity to Chesil Beach and the charming seaside town of Weymouth, as well as the historic site of the 2012 Olympics in Portland, this site provides a unique blend of rural charm and coastal beauty.

One of the standout features of Martleaves Farm Campsite is its welcoming attitude toward various types of campers. Whether you arrive with a touring caravan, motorhome, campervan, or traditional tent, the campsite caters to all, offering short breaks throughout the entire year. The campsite's commitment to inclusivity is further exemplified by its provision for paddleboarding and kayaking in the nearby Fleet Lagoon, allowing campers to bring and use their own equipment for a delightful aquatic experience just 300 meters from the farm.

The diverse array of animals on the farm adds an extra layer of charm to the camping experience. Alpacas, Shetland ponies, horses, pet pigs, free-range chickens, ducks, geese, and sheep contribute to the farm's lively atmosphere. To ensure the safety and harmony of the animals, dogs are required to be kept on leads until away from the farm. Fortunately, there's a convenient footpath leading down to the sea, where dogs can be let off their leads, allowing both campers and their furry companions to enjoy the natural surroundings.

The campsite's facilities are thoughtfully designed to enhance the overall camping experience. Three centrally heated shower and toilet blocks, along with a purple wet room, ensure that campers have access to clean and comfortable amenities. The daily cleaning and replenishing of showers and toilets reflect the campsite's commitment to maintaining high standards of hygiene. For those needing to attend to practical matters, a well-equipped laundry room with a fridge freezer and indoor and outdoor sinks is available. Additionally, a hose on the farmyard facilitates the cleaning of muddy dogs and boots, demonstrating the campsite's attention to detail and camper convenience.

Martleaves Farm goes beyond the typical camping experience by offering farm-fresh products for sale in the farmhouse porch. Campers can indulge in free-range rare breed chicken, bantam, duck, and goose eggs (when available), providing a taste of the local agricultural offerings. The campsite also sells local Dorset Honey and a range of toiletries for campers who may have forgotten essentials, showcasing a commitment to ensuring a comfortable and convenient stay for all.

Great location for those walking the SW Coast Path with direct aces to the path. Fabulous views over the Fleet, Chesil Beach and Portland Bill. Facilities a little dated but cleaning staff kept them spotless.Horses and Alpacas very cute.

We love this campsite. The pitch is great, never over crowded. The staff are friendly and always around should you need any assistance. The toilets are clean and the view is fabulous. Love watching the Alpacas and Horses in the fields across from the campsite. This was our 6th time in 4yrs and we look forward to visiting again soon.

Good Base For Exploration

Gibbons, Jack - 17/06/2026

4

Great location for camping near Weymouth with fantastic views of Chesil beach. You can’t actually walk down to the sea despite it being 300m away (due to another body of water between the campsite and the beach) so it would have been helpful to have had this in the site description somewhere. There was no power to the pitches for the duration of our stay (after upgrading) which was a slight inconvenience but didn’t affect our overall enjoyment of the stay. Other campers were also friendly. Would recommend as a decent base for exploring the local area.Didn’t encounter any staff in person but thanks to the on site manager, who was very friendly over the phone when we had queries/questions upon arrival.

Sehr schöner Campingplatz als Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen, insb. auf der Isle of Portland. Tolle Aussicht auf die Lagune und die Düne. Der Platz und die Waschräume waren sehr sauber. Süße Alpakas und Pferde rund herum.

Relaxed site

Hollander, Anthony - 10/06/2026

On the top of the hill overlooking Portland with donkeys, llamas in fields beside. A footpath directly down to the coastal path it was easy enough for 70 year olds to walk into Portland. Shower facilities were ok but, water temperature fluctuates but, that information is displayed.

Lovely location

Wilson, Caroline - 06/06/2026

We were surprised to access the site via a residential area, but pleasantly surprised by the setting, with close proximity to Chesil beach, and surrounding fields with donkeys, horses and alpacas. Easy access to the coast path running along the back of the site.The pitches seemed very close together, but it was very quiet at all times.The showers and toilets were basic but clean. No hot water the first day, but ok on the second day. Would have liked vacant/engaged signs on toilet doors. It was a nuisance having to keep pressing the control to keep the shower running.There was a bus stop within a 5 minute walk, together with a pub and small tesco. No shop on site, just eggs and basic toiletries to buy at reception.We felt it was a little expensive for a basic site. We have paid less on a site with more facilities.
