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, clean campsite with fantastic view

Barrow, Alan - 13/06/2025

Site is very clean with nice facilities. Could have done with a water point in the camp ground (unless we missed it) but apart from that it's good value for money. It's quite a hike if you wanted to walk into Weymouth but why would you with that view! The Jerassic Coaster (X53) bus leaves not too far away and it's a great point to do a days hike, as we did, from Abbotsbury back to the site.

Lovely views

This was our first time at Martleaves. First impressions were good. Great views . Very clean and tidy. The shower and toilet block was adequate but the water wasn't hot, warm at best and could have done with more hooks and shelves in the showers. The position of the site means it does catch the wind and it was very windy the week we were there, so make sure all awnings and canopy's are secured well. The hard standing pitches were small with grass next to it for the awning. There wasn't a lot of room to park your car if you brought a caravan like we did. It was very popular with motorhomes and campervans with more of those pitching up than caravans during the week we were there.. The grass around the site hadn't seen a lawnmower for sometime which made the site look a little untidy and it's all about attention to detail. The young lady who checked us in was pleasant and told us all the housekeeping rules but a leaflet on the site and surrounding area would have been good.

Alpaca punch

Very pleasant stay. Site was relatively quiet, despite very close proximity to residential areas. Toilets and showers were kept clean and tidy and were well stocked at all times. We stayed on a grass standing pitch in a tent without the need for an electric hook-up which was relatively flat and approximately a 2-3 minute walk away from the wash rooms and toilets.Site has stables and animals around consisting of horses and alpacas and visitors are reminded that animals are moved and taken out for rides. Some beautiful views are present on the site, however from my observations the best views were from the grass standing tent pitch with electric hook-ups field.Only booked one night but would have happily stayed for longer.

Very welcoming hosts. Facilities could maybe be a bit cleaner but it wouldn’t stop me staying again if I was in the area. Decent stop for a decent price.

Great site

If you don't mind a stiff breeze and no little legs around then this is a lovely site to relax. Won't win any awards for kerb appeal but the staff more than make up for it. Facilities do need updating but they are cleaned rigouressly and are always spotless. Horses and Alpacas on site and their owners always have time to stop and say hello. Loads of space and good walks. For us a great place to relax and we keep going back,
