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.

Pike, Jason - 31/07/2026

This is the 2nd time we have stay here, its good Value for money, friendly staff and a good site. Feels secure, showers are good and spacious. Great for direct access to the lagoon and sea, perfect for hiking the coast line and can walk all the way to portland bill and the lighthouse. Also very local to Weymouth town centre, cheap tax, easy bus routes and very cool electric bikes. Lots of options.

Overall a pleasant stay

Wildish, Tida - 31/07/2026

A nice campsite to stay at with animals but our tent got destroyed by the wind. Not the campsites fault but the wind from the coast was very strong here. Also there is horse poop om the floor everywhere I went.

well located and adequate facilites

Robinson, Paul - 30/07/2026

The campsite is well located for Portland and Weymouth. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The tent pitch was good and ground was not stony and good for pitching a tent. Facilities were always clean and stocked with essentials. it was really nice to have use of freezers for freezer blocks and there was ample capacity. Possible improvements : ensuring the freezers are regularly emptied of unwanted food. also The basins and kitchen sink areas could be better signed to avoid them being incorrectly used. On the whole, I think it’s a very good Site.

Wonderful location and view

Merrill, Chris - 27/07/2026

The campsite is in a great location with a wonderful view of Chesil Beach and Portland allowing good access to both. The site was clean as was the toilet and shower block and it was nice and quiet with no music, barking dogs or children! If you want to go for a long walk the site has direct access to the SW path and is a short drive to Portland. It is also a 5 min walk to a main road where there are buses to Weymouth or Portland about every 15 mins during the day which is useful if you want to stay parked up and not unhook every time. Would stay again for sure.

Great Location

Martleaves Farm Adult only, dog friendly site - great views - coast path runs alongside site. Clean, modern toilet block - hot showers. The number 1 bus (Weymouth to Portland) is a short walk to stop, 30 minutes frequency, til late at night. doesn't quite get to Portland light house, but it gets pretty close to The Cove House Inn - DT5 1AW Recommend booking The Cove House Inn in advance. Great pub & great food. We caught the No 1 Bus into Portland, then picked up the coastal path to the lighthouse. Tesco extra near campsite bus stop - opposite Wyke Smuggler pub, Fish & chips plus Domino pizza nearby. Walk to The Crab House Cafe - great food & service, but dog area is a bit limp. Need to book in advance as extremely busy. Great walk or cycle along the nearby dismantled railway (The Rodwell Trail) - now tarmac - around 2.5 miles, Call into the Sandsfoot Cafe near old fort & gardens both worth a visit - free entry - the railway walk takes you all the way into Weymouth - No.1 bus back £3
