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 views, level pitch, 7 minute walk to shops, pub and bus into Weymouth/Portland. That's about the only positives I can think of.The servicing area was very tight. I couldn't get to the water tap to fill fresh water tank, so had to use a watering can. Elsan point isnt covered.Toilet block is dated with no working hand driers(although fitted), and no paper towels, so people use the toilet paper, which then runs out. My wife stated there were 4 toilet cubicles in the ladies, but only 2 had toilet paper.Showers have intermittent hot water, and nowhere really to put your clothes without them getting wet. The one toilet/shower block is a walk for everyone. Considering the price, I would have expected slightly better facilities, ie working hand driers or at least paper towels.We were there for New Year and sadly we had extremely windy gale force weather, which was a big downside.That said the site was virtually full, so at least 20 paying units, so to ask for basic sa
Amazing views nice walk down to the estuary
Even though we were in the middle of a terrible storm, the views from the sight are beautiful, we had a lovely walk into weymouth past the alpacas and horses onto the beach and a beautiful sunny day walking into weymouth. The site toilets and showers are spotless. Didn’t meet the staff so cant comment on that. If anything i would say put some solar lights from where the motorhome park pitch 23 upto the showers/toliets as it is very dark so head torch is certainly needed. But it is beautiful tranquil site perfect to chill and relax. We will certainly be back.
Tidy & clean campsite with friendly staff. Toilets, showers and washing area great. Easy to find the site and with some lovely walks, great views and great it’s open all year round and perfect it’s over 18’s Nice pub with friendly staff a short walk away with a few takeaways if needed. Will definitely be back in the summer months as we stayed New Year’s Eve and would stay again for New Year’s.
We had a very relaxed 2 night stay while recovering from an operation.Looking forward to returning when able to get out and explore the area more
I was in a motorhome and stayed for a week. The site is dog friendly, well located, well set out, well maintained and wonderfully quiet. I booked for the location but an adult only site was a bonus. All the facilities were easily accessible. A quick couple of phone calls to Karl answered all my queries. I loved that I was parked by the alpacas and in the next field horses. The sea is a short walk away. It rained which made dog walking a bit muddy. Phone and WiFi connection was good. It has easy access to weymouth centre and Portland as well as the rest of Dorset. I paid about £40 a night (over Christmas) and it was worth every penny.
We stayed 4 nights over Christmas Site close to coastal path but path was closed due to errosion so we had to pick up the path further down the road It was nice and quiet and our pitch was right next to the lovely Alpaca field There is a nearby cycle path into Weymouth which goes to the start of Portland Only disappointed was my parent never had a hot shower so assuming all the hot water was in he womens facility as all.my showers were red hot
We love coming here and try do do so every other month. Everybody is so friendly and helpful and the animals just make it.
First time staying at Martleaves, lovely working farm, our neighbours were the alpaca’s they were the best neighbours we could have had. The girls on the farm work hard every day with the animals. 8 minutes to Weymouth by car and the Same roughly to Portland. Will definitely come back. 15/11/24
A very pleasant site to stay, views are great if not impeded with the grey weather we had, cleared up eventually and lovely views a Ross portland and the lagoon. Site was clean and tidy, toilet block a little dated but clean and tidy, showers were nice and hot, possibly need a better hanging space to print wet clothes, and they are more than usable.Alpacas and horses grazing were good to watch,.Plenty of shops for all you need a short walk away.All in all a lovely site to stay in out of season, good usable facilities. Never made use of the firepits for hire.
