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.

Bit further walk to bus stop than we'd hoped not fat but my husband struggles to walk far. Pub and nice social club by bus stop as well. Regular buses to weymouth and portland.

We have been staying here for years when we visit Weymouth, the owners and staff are very friendly and helpful, the views of the sea and Portland and chisel beach are amazing , and you have the alpacas, horses and sheep to look at also . The bus stop is ten minutes walk to go into Weymouth , which takes about ten mins , you have a supermarket , shops and takeaways and a pub close by , and Weymouth itself has everything you could ask for , beautiful big sandy beach, harbour with lots of boats , shops , restaurants, perfect destination ❤️

We thought Martleaves Farm Campsite was excellent and well positioned for visiting local areas. The toilets and shower block was really clean. A ideal adult site.

A wonderful location, great views, but misleading signs

Rose, Mike - 26/06/2025

so, a lovely site in a great location, local footpaths along the cliffs and to the water, views for milesnot too far to the shops and bus route for Weymouthour problem, being a motorhome, is that we can park our vehicle either way on..on arrival we followed the sign next to the entry gate saying park with awnings on the sea side of the pitch, great, so we enjoy sunshine and sea views. however having fully set up our picnic etc, we were instructed to swap around and we were referred to faded stencil notes on the fence. would you know that "aw1" was an indication of how-to park? with 5 years experience we didnt. we now understand it is because caravans are mostly reversed in and have awnings on the left, but we then had to sit in the shade and with no view. only 50% of visitors will get the sunny side (like many older sites based on caravan visitors). good luck

Beautiful scenery and Llamas were gorgeous

English, Ken - 24/06/2025

We enjoyed this site very much, the views coupled with the good weather really made our stay. We followed the directions given by the owners and didnt fall foul of dodgy satnav routes , this is important. We parked up on bay no.7 and were very pleased. It provided good views ,ehu and in reasonable distance to showers and loo. The facilities were clean and tidy. We had watched a YouTube vid and only for that would have missed the reception area

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.
