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.

Excellent location

First thoughts once entered the site, looked a bit untidy in comparison to other sites we've stayed on. However, nice level pitches, most with good views. We booked a hardstanding pitch with electric hookup. Plenty of toilets and showers, kept very clean, although some toilet doors didnt lock. Plenty of dishwashing sinks. Easy access to coastpath from the site. Local pub and takeaways ie fish n chips, chinese, Dominoes & a Tesco Express all within level walking distance from the site, really handy. Loved all the animals on site, donkeys, alpacas, horses etc. We enjoyed our stay and will definately be returning.

Had a great him with friends to celebrate my last Yr of my 40s, the martleaves farm team are amazing and hard working. The loos are clean and maintained over the 4 days we were there. The beautiful views looking out to sea and over to portland are just perfect. I have stayed at this site 4 times over the last 4 yrs and say that it's easy to access to bus stops to weymouth and portland. Taxi services around town are with you when you want them. Taxi cost around £9-£10 bus was £2.40 a single. Fresh eggs on site if you forget yours, bo need to go to local shops. You can also have a fire pit as long as its off the grass. Music n3eds to be very low from 10.30pm.

Der Bereich Geschirrwaschen ist zu klein. Die separaten Wasserhahne in Toilette und Geschirrwaschen sind nicht optimal. Wichtig: meine Einwendungen sind nicht bedeutend.

I stayed for two nights whilst walking the SWCP. The staff were friendly and helpful and there was a good atmosphere within the campsite. The views from my pitch were excellent, particularly towards Portland. Local bus routes were very good and local shops were within a few minutes walk.All of the facilities were in good working order, albeit a little tired.All in all I enjoyed my stay and will be booking in again later in the year.

Only issue and its minor is the length of the grass in the camping field and also there is a public footpath that runs next to it so I got woken early by shouting dog owners .

Great Location

My partner and I arrived in our motorhome, joining friends who were also staying there. The provided location instructions were helpful and accurate. The site was lovely. Clean and practical toilets and showers. Water, Elsan point and grey waste disposal were conveniently located and the Electric Hookup was easy.It was also great to have free WiFi that actually worked!!There were several other groups on site and all were quiet and respectful.The view over the sea was lovely as the weather was perfect.The presence of the Alpacas, Ponies and Donkeys was a bonus.The coastal path also passes the farm and we followed it down to the lagoon where you are sheltered of you wanted to kayak or paddle board.Access to Weymouth is easy as there is a bus about 300m from the Farm.We really enjoyed our stay and will return.Regards Jim & Wendy

Lovely site, great views

Fantastic views, adult only (brilliant). The only reason I dropped 1 star is the amount of times you have to press the button to keep the shower going. I am all for save the planet and sustainability but 20 seconds is a bit short.
